Surfing Beach

4 nights to visit Paros in this hotel. Pros: swimming pool area with nice bar, many corners to sit down as well as many deckchairs, all in music and a second quieter pool for those who prefer. Cons: rooms that are sorely lacking in equipment, not even a glass or a cup. Breakfast certainly with choice but very industrialized. Welcoming was, however, friendly.

Very loud music across the entire accommodation. If you are looking to relax here. Forget it. The pool area plays very loud music which disturbs the entire experience. It is impossible to think here. It is like a teenages party gone wrong. A very unpleasant experience indeed. The management needs to decide on their target market. Not recommended at all.

This hotel is Basic but absolutely fine and the staff are nice … however we booked this hotel because we wanted to learn how to surf but unfortunately the surf and water sports guys where absolutely awful and I believe to be incredibly sexist ! We asked on day 1 for surf lessons, they said too windy, then they said no instructor ! Second day they said to windy, and said they could not teach beginners, yet we watched them teach a group of male beginners all afternoon. When i asked if we could have a lesson as they where clearly teaching beginners they lied and said they were intermediate (although they couldnt even stand on the board and where clearly having their first lesson) When I suggested they seemed to want to teach men and not women he just said to me ‘bye bye’s and waved me away. My daughter and i are actually very capable athletes but unfortunately were judged and dismissed by the men at the surf school. We did tell the hotel on 2 occasions but they were unable to help as the surf school are not a part of the hotel.
