Poseidon Of Paros Hotel & Spa

Awesome experience staff is so polite and helping in nature. Awesome view amazing experience

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights. Fabulous place with great amenities. Breakfast was fantastic and we sat outside by the pool. The hotel is right next to Golden beach. We wanted to rent a car and they arranged for one to be dropped off and the price was reasonable.

Disappointing Stay Despite Beautiful Setting The hotel itself is beautiful, right on Golden Beach with stylish rooms and professional staff, but it never felt like home. From the start, I was let down. I asked for a late checkout at 12 instead of 11, even though check-in is much later in the afternoon, and I was refused. During my 6-day stay I only used the pool once, and when I brought the end of a beer from my room to finish by the pool, a staff member immediately told me outside drinks weren’t allowed. Guests are also asked to pay extra to use the hotel’s own beach lounges. Breakfast was included, yet coffee or tea still came with a charge, even though we paid a premium price for our stay. The most unpleasant part happened at the end. The night before leaving, we found a medication box and about a gram of weed on a chair outside the church. Because it was with anxiety medication, we thought it might belong to someone with a prescription, so we placed it in our safe intending to hand it to reception in the morning. In the rush of checkout, we forgot it. Just 5 minutes down the road we remembered, returned to tell reception, and were shocked to hear that the manager had already called the police without even trying to contact me first. I was told this was the manager’s decision, which made the whole situation feel unprofessional and left me with the impression of discrimination. To be clear, my disappointment lies mainly with the reception staff and management, not with the restaurant team, who were consistently friendly and professional throughout my stay. Ironically, the next night I stayed at a small family-run hotel near the port, much cheaper in price, and despite its simplicity, it felt warm, welcoming, and genuine. Everything this so-called luxury hotel failed to deliver. Moral: You don’t need the fanciest hotels to have a good stay. Sometimes the simplest ones deliver the most authentic, human, and warming experience.
