Contaratos Beach

During my first trip to Paros, I stayed at the Contaratos Beach hotel and as a young newlywed I was so impressed by all that the hotel had to offer. 16 years later this hotel is still checking off all the boxes! Clean, updated and charismatic without being pretentious, the Contaratos beach is a must! It’s close proximity to town and a beach across the street makes it a no brainer for those who want to walk! Those with a vehicle find ample parking and its central location an ideal fit! However it’s the feeling of family that truly earns the stars for this hotel. The owner, Mr Tasos, is still making sure his patrons are happy and his hotel stands out in the plethora of options in this great town. Great experience and looking forward to visiting again soon!

We stayed at this wonderful beach front hotel for a week. The hotel is beautifully presented with a fantastic swimming pool & the beach is literally outside the front gate . Very comfy beach beds are complementary with beach towels for residents. The water is crystal clear & there was a cooling breeze. Beach service is available from the pool bar & food & service were amazing. Thanks to Yannis, Andreas & Mira for looking after us . The whole hotel is spotless and our room was very comfortable, great shower (powerful) , great a/c and a beautiful balcony with a fantastic sea view .It is a easy walk into Naousa, full of great bars & restaurants.Thanks to Christina & Maria on reception for organizing our transportation to and from port & airport!! We will be back next year hopefully!

I don’t like reviews that neglect to accurately rate the product or service they are meant to apply to. So, I’ll tell you that the supporting staff, location and accommodations during our stay, were wonderful. However… We booked in December for a stay in late July. Our search for a resort included four main criteria: - No first floor - 2 separate beds for our adult children in their room - Sea view - Close to our kids We booked a home on the beach, but it did not provide separate beds for our kids, so we went with Contaratos because they said they could make it happen. Upon arrival we were informed that only one of those criteria were fulfilled due to late notice. Again, we booked nearly 8 months in advance. They blamed the travel agency for poor communication. And the travel agency, a family member, insists our plans were forwarded months before. As a reasonable person, I understand mistakes happen. But blaming others and not making sure your guests are satisfied doesn’t sit well with me. Contaratos made no effort to settle the dispute. Zero. Some compensation was in order in my opinion. They offered none. So, my only option is a poor star rating. As I said before, we already had a rental that gave us a sea view (instead of the home next door), a second story room and close proximity to our kids. Otherwise it was a wonderful experience.
