Top 10 Paradisos Hotels

We were a family of 7- grandparents (2), adult daughter, son and wife, and 2 grandchildren (6,2). We chose Ekies because of its emphasis on ”family friendly”, but was smaller than many options and seemed to get good reviews for the quality of food provided. The son +wife + grandchildren stayed in a large suite (an excellent choice), and we stayed in a junior suite for 4 nights upgraded to a Pine suite for 3 nights. We stayed for 7 nights and then moved on to Kassandra Palace for 8 nights- reviewed separately. To be clear my wife and I (the grandparents) travel a lot, and staying in a resort is NOT our norm- but our aim was to give everyone a super holiday and to help with the care of the youngsters. Ekies certainly met our high expectations, and indeed the attitude of the staff, particularly in regard to the little ones was fantastic- I can certainly confirm that Ekies is ”family friendly”- the beach was PERFECT for children of this age- although older ones might wish for something a little more exciting. The food offering was indeed first class. We took the half board option and felt we made no compromises around how we would wish to eat when travelling, although if I was doing this again I'd probably do B&B for a couple of nights as there are a couple of excellent tavernas within walking distance. We took everyone on a boat trip which we'd certainly recommend. Improvements?- Please don't serve San Pelligrino- I like SP- but when in Greece why not serve your local sparkling water. Also extend the shallow end of the main pool- at busy times the small shallow end is insufficient. Ekies is not a cheap option, particularly in August, but it has an excellent ambience, and delivered good value. I would happily recommend it.
