Paralos Kosta Alímia

From start to finish we had the loveliest holiday, the rooms, pools, food, facilities were all unbelievable. The staff went above and beyond to provide the best possible experience, we stayed in a room with a private pool and could not recommend more! Thank you for making our experience one to remember, we will definitely be back!

Hotel staff and their service were both excellent, very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The guest relations manager Katerina was extremely helpful throughout our stay in looking after us, especially in organising our private dinner (see below) and when we required a room for our late departure. The food from all 5 restaurants was delicious, we enjoyed every meal. We were lucky enough to be treated (by friends) to a private sunset dinner on the beach to celebrate on our honeymoon - a special experience we will always remember. Room with private garden and jacuzzi was brilliant, would highly recommend. Plenty of great facilities which were all clean and to a high standard.

Having recently re-opened after a refined re-development and name change the Kosta Alimia will be a little jewel in the crown of Crete Hotels. The staff in the week of opening have been working all the hours to make the guest's feel special and state of the art rooms and personal pool's lead off the stone walk ways through the mediteranian gardens and palm trees. You are greeted by the 2 Marias on the check in desk who are overseen by Katerina the front of house manager who deals with all the needs of the guest as soon as any arise. The Restaunts serve an excellent mix of foods for all tastes, the staff there cannot do enough to help you, listen and remember your requests for every service, Maria and Nektaria both superb to name but two. The new Spa is also an excellent feature if you need an amazing Neck, shoulder and back massage, Miriam will relax you and have you leaving a different person. The Hotel is almost finished, and when it is, then a must stay hotel in a stunning part of Crete. Well done, Team Paralos Kosta Alimia. Rm 402

שמי א. טטיאנה בתאריכים 12-15/10 נפשתי בכרתים במלון Paralos Costa Alima. ברצוני להביע את תודתי והתפעלותי מרמת האירוח במלון המדהים הזה. החל ממנהלת המלון קטרינה ועד לרב המלצרים מיכלוס וכלל המלצרים, עובדי משק ופקידים בקבלה. המלון ברמה מהגבוהות שנפשתי בהם (והייתי בהרבה מלונות טובים מאוד). רמת השירות מהגבוהות ביותר, רמת הארוחות ומסעדות לה קרטה - דלישס ברמה של מסעדות שף מפורסמות. רמת החדרים, הבריכות, החוף הים המטופח הצמוד עם מיטות נוחות - הכל ברמה בינלאומית. המלון הוא ללא ילדים קטנים, מתאים במדויק לאנשים שרוצים לנפוש ברמה גבוהה מאוד. MY NAME IS A.TATIANA From October 12th to 15th, I vacationed in Crete at the Paralos Costa Alima hotel. I would like to express my gratitude and admiration for the level of hospitality at this amazing hotel. From the hotel manager Katrina to the head waiter Michlos and all the waitstaff, housekeeping staff, and reception clerks, the hotel is among the highest quality I have experienced (and I have stayed in many very good hotels). The level of service is among the best, and the quality of the meals and à la carte restaurants - Delicious is on par with famous chef restaurants. The quality of the rooms, pools, and the well-maintained beach with comfortable sunbeds - everything is of international standard. The hotel is adults-only, perfectly suited for those who wish to vacation at a very high level.

It’s difficult to know where to start with this review but it all started with a warm welcome from George, the night porter, who greeted us on arrival. Our luggage was set aside whilst we were presented with cold towels & lemonade and the receptionist checked us in. It was almost midnight and check in was quick and efficient as we were tired from our travels. Our room was a corner swim up junior suite, with one set of doors to the pool and the other to the garden with the beach just beyond. The room was well appointed and there was food waiting for us along with the stocked minibar of water, soft drinks; and a bottle of wine. Next morning we went for breakfast and another warm welcome was given by all the lovely restaurant staff (all the Katerinas, Nectarina; and Barbara - all assets to the hotel with their sunny dispositions). You can tell the team are happy at work and that they have worked together for a long time - there’s a buzz about the place as they clearly know how to speak to people yet get the job done. The food itself was faultless- so fresh with lots of choice and the orange juice just out of this world! We are Scottish and can’t access Mediterranean fruits that fresh so really savoured the freshness of the salads and fruits. I don’t understand the review which said you have to wait 20 minutes for coffee. That was certainly not our experience on any occasion. Lunch service again a choice of beautiful salads, desserts and cooked to order Greek Grill or Mediterranean style main courses. Dinner from one of the 5 a la carte restaurants also cooked to order. The Chicken Parmesan from Levante dinner menu is the best I’ve ever had and the mini steak sliders and Mille-feuille dessert from the Floga steak restaurant amazing; but in all honesty every dish from every restaurant was fantastic. We were all inclusive and there was no shirking with the drinks package. The bar team and waiting staff were all really pleasant and wanted to please with any requests. You could order specific wines at an additional cost if you wanted a bottle at the restaurant with food, juice, beer (draft or corona) but we found the 3 types each of white, 3 rose and 3 red were more than an adequate range to suit most palates. Cocktails and other spirits were all top brands and the frozen cocktails lush! We found all staff members throughout to be friendly and couldn’t really do enough for you. We generally find that if you speak to people kindly, they tend to return the favour and every morning a big wave and hello from our cleaner. The hotel is spotless across all areas. Plenty of towels and you just help yourself to exchanging pool towels at the spa if need be. The hotel had a family run feel about it, which of course it is, facilitated by a well oiled management team at the helm who we felt knew who their guests are and what they need (even before they do!). I had a massage in the spa which was professional and very relaxing. The sun beds are very thick and comfy -
