Paralos Kosta Alímia

The property features magnificent pools, spacious and well-equipped rooms, and exceptional cleanliness. The staff is friendly, multilingual, and attentive. However, some reviews mention no specific disadvantages.

Our 7 night stay at Paralos Kosta Alimia was very pleasant and in many respects the hotel is certainly five-star worthy. The facilities are well maintained, the rooms are clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Special credits to Afroditi who knew her profession very well. We especially enjoyed the dine-around concept (no buffet in the evenings), which we found to be a big plus, and the food itself was excellent. However, there are a few aspects that unfortunately take away from the true five-star feeling. The dinner dress code (“no shorts”) is not enforced or respected at all eventhough its explicitly mentioned, which diminishes the sense of exclusivity and luxury one would expect from a five-star hotel. In addition, stray cats frequently wander around the tables during meals. This is not only unhygienic and simply unpleasant, but in our case also problematic as my partner is allergic to cats. Furthermore as our room was located above the restaurants kitchens there was a strong food smell inside the room around meal times as the kitchen extractor fans were located nearby. Around the pools, the number of sunbeds is quite limited, and they are already taken early in the morning. Guests who prefer a later breakfast often have no choice but to go to the beach, where finding a free spot can also be a challenge. In summary, we truly enjoyed our stay and appreciated many of the hotel’s strengths. Yet, due to the points mentioned above, the genuine five-star feeling was missing, which is a shame for an otherwise high-quality hotel. Nonetheless we would consider coming back or recommend the hotel to others!
