Hotels near Strass Bijoux, Paros

This holiday home is highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am really grateful to be able to live in such a great hotel! The price-performance ratio is really amazing! I can't find any faults, there are too many things to praise. The scenery of the hotel is great, and we sunbathe in the hotel swimming pool almost every morning. The hotel's swimming pool uses seawater, and you can vaguely taste the salty seawater. The experience of swimming is also very special. It feels like swimming in the sea, and the body floats lightly on the water. The breakfast is very delicious and rich! We ate a lot every morning. The room has a very holiday atmosphere, which is really enough for two people. I like the location of our room very much. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise on the balcony. And at night, you can lie down and watch the stars and enjoy the night sky.

Firstly, the staff are 5/5. They are all great. I cannot praise them enough.  Hotel:  The rooms are newly decorated and immaculate.  The hotel area overlooks the bay and has a pool area.  We stayed there one day but we're more beach loungers so walked down the back of the hotel to the Paralia Beach area (the AMOSS cafe has loungers for 20 euro versus 30 either side of it and the guy attending is excellent).  The walk to the beach and/or into Parikia is about 15/25 mins. Taxi back from town is 15 euro, from rank by Port.  Breakfast was 34 euro a couple.  I will give credit and say the fare was fresh and the array of cakes great. I would have preferred proper coffee for the price. It is on the upper end of price for breakfast; however, I won't detract from its niceness with a grumble. Fantastic. Small Issue: One gripe I do have is the rooster on or next door to the premises (but next door I think). It starts making noise at 03:30, and every 15 minutes until 06/06:30.  I'm a light sleeper and it woke me every morning about 3:30 and I had broken sleep thereafter.  That said, overall, a great hotel with great staff. The rooster issue would need to be addressed for me to return though.  Paros: I spent each summer in Greece from 2001 to 2011 (all through my 20s). I was last in Paros in 2010 and it is more or less the same; however, now has a busier vibe as do all the islands. I note the Instagram effect everywhere I go. Also, I think many places have lost their tavernas / Greek identity and it's not as authentic as it used to be. That applies to all the Cyclades islands. Further, I recall the islands used to be a lot cheaper (i.e. better value) than Ireland, i.e. where I am from. It used to be the case that what costs you 5 euro in Ireland, cost you 3 - 3.50 euro in Greece. Now, that's all gone and they are equal. In fact, the islands can be MORE expensive now which is bizarre as Irish bar/cafe etc wages are double that of Greece. That's capitalism I guess.  

A really lovely hotel, staff were very friendly and helpful. Staff helped us arrange quad hire, which was great! The breakfast buffet was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed it every morning, something there for everyone, great variety. Loved relaxing in the hotel in the evenings with a carafe of wine, very well priced. Stunning hotel, really happy we stayed here.

I would rank this hotel as ”just ok” as the rooms were clean and unnecessarily large (good for large family), but nothing special, as there is no swimming pool or other amenities like that. Furthermore, the walking distance from the hotel into town is not insignificant.. probably a 20 minute walk or so, although only a short distance to the nearest beach. The woman at the desk was very friendly and helpful with information and assisted us in finding taxi service. One issue experienced was we did not receive a reminder notification the night before our transport service was to pick us up. Consequently, we lost count of the days and were alerted by a call from the desk that our ride was outside waiting for us. So we had to scramble packing to catch it.

Our stay at Opal Paros was nothing short of amazing! My husband and I stayed there for 6 nights, we couldn't get enough of Paros and we felt truly at home. The staff at the hotel, namely Kostas, was exceptional! He helped us with planning our week around the island, giving food recommendations, booking an ATV, and made himself available whenever we needed anything. The hotel is in a prime location- just a short 5 minute walk from the main Naoussa area, which was extremely convenient for eating out, shopping, and exploring the night life. The room was very clean, modern, comfortable, and came with a complimentary bottle of wine! I would 100% recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a true gem of Greece with the most friendly staff. Hoping we're able to book another stay at Opal soon!

The owner Vagellis, and staff were very warm, friendly, courteous and helpful, and the rooms well appointed, clean and modern. Maria kept a wonderful kitchen, with tasty and generous breakfasts - and you have to try her mouth-watering home-baked delights. This was a wonderful holiday experience, within walking distance to the village restaurants and beaches and less than 10 mins to airport. The village food is generous and tasty with little or no processed ingredients - Mainly fresh. We found the locals to be warm and friendly. Recommend Athens to Naxos 30min flight, but can also use very efficient ferry's. We will be back.
