Travelled as a family and we are a family that focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Stayed in Grand Bliss Suites which both had beautiful outside seating area. The whole hotel is very beautiful and full of greenery and flowers. Complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Hotel has a very relaxed vibe. Beach is beautiful and good service for beachside food and drinks. Also help with parasols etc. Also not far from water sports (additional charge). Several smaller pools in the hotel, all had very comfortable (luxury!), sun loungers and parasols. No pool side service in terms of drink or food, although you can get takeaway food from the beach bar. A negative of lots of smaller pools, was that it was hard for our daughter to make friends. Would say might be better for adult only holiday but there were children at every pool. Fridge in our rooms which was helpful, water only on arrival and glasses/cups not cleaned in whole of our stay. Other than that the rooms were immaculately cleaned daily (option to opt out). Grand bliss suites not suitable for more than 2 adults plus children. We were originally booked into one room (four adults, 1 child) which would have meant two adults and a child sharing a sofa bed. Managed to book another room last minute at an additional €1400 (approx). Mini markets/ATMs/bars/restaurants within short distance on Valtos beach side. A 30 minute steep walk both ways to Parga, but close to water taxis and easy to get road taxi from reception. We stayed breakfast only and there was a good selection and variety of food. However, self service for everything, including tea, coffee & water which is usually table service at this level of hotel. Juice watered down, drinkable but again probably not what you’d expect. Porter for luggage on arrival and departure highly efficient. We enquired about late check out but didn’t go ahead due to being fully booked. However; we were given time in a hotel room to use shower etc before departure. Room had fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel. Glad we didn’t pay €70 for late check out, Overall, we had a really lovely holiday and no major negatives but worth noting things that you’d maybe expect to be better for the price of this hotel. Parga itself did not disappoint.
