Avant Mar Paros

Unfortunately, we were disappointed by the full experience. Having just come from luxury hotels on other islands, we were excited by the prospect of staying at Avant Mar, knowing we were paying a premium price for what we expected to be a 5 star and beyond resort. Unfortunately, our hopes were dashed almost immediately. While the property itself is lovely, as we walked to our 3rd floor room we walked right past the trash dumpsters out back and workers on their smoke break. Again, nothing wrong with that at a normal hotel, not one that's demanding you pay a much higher room rate. The pros - the staff for breakfast was lovely and attentive. The pool is nice. Rooms cleaned daily. Location is close to town. The cons - the rooms are small. For certain rooms, the bathroom is smaller than what you might find in a typical European budget hotel. To walk to town, be ready to either head across the beach or up a steep incline to get to the main road. Overall, while a lovely hotel, the value is one of the worst I've experienced. There are dozens of hotels around Avant Mar that have just as great a location, but the value is no doubt much better. This is a regular, nice hotel trying to make you believe it's luxury based on price alone and social media like settings.

Beautiful, serene hotel right on the water. Very convenient to stores and restaurants. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were perhaps on the small side, but nice.

Really beautiful property. Staff was excellent. It is close to town to access night life and activities. The rooms were much larger than pictured, which was a very pleasant surprise. We will be back. Beachfront was stunning! Great Hotel
