Paradise Island Villas

Amazing stay from the moment of reservation. Both Pol and Eleni are already welcoming you in their communication for the best room options and their help in getting to their accommodation. When the gate opens, the team is welcoming you in front of the reception with refreshing towels and a cocktail. If you wish to stay in your own private villa, fully equipped with everything you could wish for, but also enjoy a 5* boutique service, don’t search any further. Location we found very central, and with the great travel tips from Eleni, you can explore Crete very easily. The à la carte restaurant, with their heart warming personnel, serves the best local food the entire day. Highly recommend, the place, the quality and especially the always perfect service.

Fantastic place to stay - villas are beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need for self catering. The onsite restaurant is first class. Staff were all amazingly friendly, always happy to see you and assist in every way. The pools and surrounding areas were well managed and clean .

I really cannot fault this place. The Villa was lovely and the pool and bar area was immaculate. Eleni and her team cannot do enough for you, I have been to some beautiful hotels on my travels but the customer service here is the best I have ever experienced. The food in the restaurant was fantastic and the service was faultless. Although this hotel is not on the beachfront, there are several beautiful beaches, a short ride away and the staff are more than willing to arrange transport. Would highly recommend this place.

We were given a lovely warm welcome from all the team which made our holiday such a wonderful experience . The food and service was amazing and nothing was too much trouble . The villas are spacious and private and have everything you need.Definitely will be returning here again soon

The whole experience was excellent, before we even arrived they arranged the airport transfers and checked anything we might need, on arrival we were greeted like arriving VIPs with cold towels and a welcome drink before they took us on a quick tour of the facilities. Everything is so modern, clean and well done - the villas have everything you might need for a long or short stay, they even have your own security system/alarm. There is a fully equipped kitchen with expresso and filter coffee machines, oven, hob, microwave and fridge freezer plus all the other things you need, and a dining room to enjoy your cooking. But if you don’t want to cook they will bring room service to your villa! The lounge is comfortable with Full Smart TV and Home Entertainment system, downstairs and upstairs has remote control air conditioning, there is a large private, enclosed garden with a pool with Jets. The bathroom is all marble with a jacuzzi bath and shower, luxurious toiletries and bathrobes are provided too. Every day they clean and change all towels - so it’s just like a luxury hotel but they arrange when to clean so you aren’t disrupted/disturbed. The restaurant is excellent, the BBQ nights are an all you can eat feast of great food, the traditional speciality dishes are also really tasty, we had many great meals and enjoyed the local produce and wines. The team are so friendly and helpful - they really get to know you and make sure they do everything they can to give you the best holiday - providing guidance on trips and things to do, games, books, DVDs, you name it they can make it happen. Eleni, Pol, Babis and the whole team are amazing hosts and we will definitely be back again to enjoy their hospitality and the beautiful island of Crete!

For the second time we experienced the most pleasant stay at Paradise Island Villas. The entire team gave us the warmest welcome and made sure that we felt spoiled during our stay. We are definitely thinking about coming back for a third time.

Having looked at many places to stay before booking here, we couldn't have been happier with our choice. It's a small, boutique set up but with all the facilities of a bigger hotel such as restaurant, choice of pools, tennis court and a sweet playground set amongst olive trees. Our villa was exactly as expected from the photos and extremely accommodating for our 9 month baby including additional safety measures (stair gate), baby bath and toys, a gorgeous cot with baby bedding, high chair, pool inflatable and plastic plates/cutlery - we didn't need to ask for a thing. The resort is very peaceful, has a calming vibe to it and you can choose to relax there, explore the local beach on foot or rent a car for longer excursions - the team can organise everything for you, including taxis with baby seats. The breakfast was so generous and lots of choice, and nice to have the option to eat in the restaurant or in your villa. Thank you to Eleni, Pol, Mike, Babis and the team - you were all so friendly, helpful and accommodating and made the start of our holiday in Crete wonderful.

From booking to arrival, Eleni and Pol were extremely helpful. The moment we arrived with our three year old we were greeted with huge smiles and a complimentary drink of our choice( much needed after an early start and flight with our small child)! During our entire stay they couldn’t do enough to help and suggested areas to go and places to eat, organising trips and taxis. Breakfast was always spot on and mike &george were friendly faces every morning. Babis was also so warm and welcoming every night we dined in the restaurant. Infact the whole team, cleaners and maintenance were all lovely. Pool toys and armbands were left in our villa along with some kids body wash which was a lovely personal touch. If you want to feel looked after at an intimate small hotel then look no further. Thankyou again Holly Paul and Raffy! Xx

We went to Paradise Island villas after we got married with our four children and their partners. The villas we had (one three bed, one two bed) were superb - comfortable, luxurious and well equipped, with our own garden pools. The breakfasts were quite simply the best we have ever had in a hotel, and the main pool was rarely busy and well served with bar and snacks. The local town of Annisaras is 20 mins walk and Hersonissos in bigger and about 15 mins in a cab. Both had lots to do and were enjoyable places to visit - especially in the evening. The staff at Paradise Islands were attentive, helpful, polite but not intrusive. We cannot recommend this hotel enough - you will have a brilliant time.
