Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a simply beautiful hotel, combining high quality self catering villas with a genuinely five star hotel experience. The villas are spacious, clean, have excellent air con and wi fi and all have their own gardens with a pool and loungers; the two pool areas are beautiful and wonderfully relaxing; the food is exquisite, and in particular the breakfasts are the best I have ever had. The staff are polite, friendly, unobtrusive yet efficient, doing everything they can to make your stay as good as it can be. The views are excellent. The local town of Analipsi is about 20 minutes walk and the larger touristy resort of Hersonissos is a £10 euro cab. We have been here twice and absolutely love it. Thoroughly recommended.

From being treated like long lost friends on arrival till our departure the service at paradise villas is second to none!
The villas all named after Greek gods is a lovely touch being spacious with full amenities. All villas come with their own pool and sun beds so you never really need to venture out to the other two larger pools on site so you can be as private as you want.
We had breakfast included which was served till 11am. Normally we always miss breakfast because of the timings and food being so similar . However I think we all managed the majority of breakfast sittings as it was so good especially with Mike the waiter always being so helpful.
We had lunch and evening meals at the complex on numerous occasions along with attending there special Greek barbecue event. This was great with loads of food being brought straight to your table by the ever present babis, who was absolutely amazing throughout. I can’t remember ever being made to feel so welcome by a waiter before. He really did make this holiday so special. As I’ve already mentioned there were other staff members too from the cleaning ladies to the bar staff always making you feel welcome. Paul and Eleni were always there to greet you every morning and helped us hire a boat plus numerous other excursions.
Overall this is a fantastic secluded very private place and worth every penny!!!
Big mention to their speciality food dish lobster linguine which was beautiful and a must try.
If you want to not be so private heronissos is only a 5 min taxi ride away which is between €10 to €15 each way. This has loads of bars, cafes and sea view Resturant’s.
Hopefully we will return in the future this was a magical find in Crete. Well done to all!

Absolutely great place to stay! Hospitality is too notch, with such an amazing attention to detail, and quality overall is great. 100% recommend the experience!

We stayed in one of the private villas with a private pool. The villas are spacious, super comfortable and exactly what you would expect in paradise. Housekeeping, gardening and pool maintenance teams are super polite and do a an exceptional job to keep you comfortable. You'll love the calm atmosphere, tranquility and privacy!

If you are sick of swimming in your private jetstream, go out to one of the two common pools to relax and don't forget to grab a bite in the restaurant. Breakfast is royal, dinner is fantastic! A nice full a la carte menu, with a great daily special. The team is super nice, and they have such an attention to detail.

100% recommend staying in Paradise! It lives up to its name!

This is one of those places you really want to keep to yourself; however Eleni, Pol & the rest of their team deserve the world to know what an awesome place they have.
From the moment we arrived we got the warmest welcome. We got upgraded to the larger villa so everyone would have their own room and bathroom, fab!
We loved the breakfast set up; you got a certain amount you could choose from from the menu -drinks not included those were free- the amount was high enough that we could choose as much as we wanted. It's a good way of avoiding waste as you so often get with buffets, also everything was made to order so nice and fresh.
We regularly had lunch and dinner at the hotel as the food was delish at extremely reasonably prices. The villas have a rather well equipped kitchen, so you can cook if you want, but with daily specials at 12€ why bother!
Eleni is like a walking encyclopedia of the area, she shared a lot of useful information with us from best beaches to when best to visit Knossos, tourist traps etc etc. Anything you would feel you need, Eleni or Pol would arrange it for you. Both my daughters had their birthday during our stay and the team made sure they had a wonderful time; cake, decorated table, candy, singing...the lot, they loved it. By the time we had to leave we felt like we were saying goodbye to family. From Jumeirah in Dubai to the Mandarin Oriental in KL I can genuinely say I have never experienced this much genuine heartwarming staff.
We'll be back!!!

Just completed another wonderful stay at PIV. The location makes most everything on Crete’s north side easily accessible. The facilities are 5 stars and the housekeeping staff excellent. All the amenities, the individual plunge pools, the 2 full size pools, are first class.

The food, from breakfast thru dinner, is excellent. The menu is varied including options for children. You have the option of eating at your villa or poolside under the stars.

The atmosphere is relaxed and casual and even Americans (like me) learn to enjoy longer dinners.

PIV’s secret are its’ people. Family owned and run, it is the gold standard of Cretan hospitality. It’s like visiting friends/family you really want to be with. It’s why we keep going back.

This holiday was perfection - the best customer experience, great facilities and accommodation, central location and wonderful food.

We recently stayed for 10 days on our first trip to Crete as a family of 4 with two older teenagers. From the moment we arrived (around midnight after a flight delay) the team could not do more for us - from getting us settled in, providing recommendations for our trips and restaurants to try out, you always felt the pride they felt in the hotel and that they were genuinely happy that you had chosen Crete for a holiday. They were there for you whenever you needed anything but it never felt pushy or intrusive.

The very well designed villas are spacious, immaculately clean with spacious gardens and your own pool. The hotel also has 2 lovely communal pools with day beds etc and due to the size of the hotel there was always space around the pools. The restaurant is superb - whether it was for breakfast, the Greek barbecue or their special lobster dish the quality was always exceptional. The bar area is relaxing and cocktails delicious.

The hotel is centrally located and we were able to see a lot of the island (both heading east and west) on a couple of day trips. Again, the staff recommendations made for very enjoyable day trips avoiding the busiest times while also recommending places not mentioned in the guidebooks.

I can't recommend Paradise Island Villas highly enough, a fantastic choice for a hotel in Crete and we would love to make a return trip!

It took us a little while to be able to finally post a review of Paradise Island Villas, however, it was really important to us that we shared our experience, to thank Erini, Pol and the team for such a wonderful stay at the beginning of July.

First of all, Paradise Island Villas provides something quite unique. A small number of well furnished villas, hidden within the walls of an unassuming spot on a hill, about 30 mins drive from Heraklion airport. The personal welcome and attention from the moment we arrived to the moment we (reluctantly) departed, the team did whatever they could to make our stay very special. They are so obviously very proud of the little oasis that they have created, and want you to feel part of the family. Our first (of many) family meals at the restaurant by the pool was made even more special when the team surprised us with wine and a birthday cake for my birthday.

Our villa had everything we needed, was spacious, with a living, dining and kitchen area, multiple balcony’s, and a garden with a pool. Essentials such as water and coffee were provided, and topped up daily. The a/c worked really well, and kept a lovely consistent temperature without needing adjustment. The pool was lovely, and a good temperature, and big enough to enjoy time with the family, and dip in and out of. The much bigger main pool was also a lovely and relaxed place to hang out and read a book - the size, temperature and depth was perfect. There was another decent sized shared pool right next to our villa, which was fun also. The only thing to note is that there were a lot of steps up and down between pretty much every part of the villa inside and out, even between the living areas on the ground floor. This was not an issue for us, but could be for those less able.

The restaurant was great, with fresh and good quality ingredients, and a decent selection of options. They also recommended some excellent local restaurants. The cocktails, named after the Greek Gods (like the Villas) were very good too!

We hired a car, and onsite parking was free, easy and accessible. While not very close to where all the action is without a car, we did walk down to a fun very low-key cafe by the sea called Papou’s Sunset (about 10 minutes walk) which served good quality and reasonably priced food (and a great sunset). A taxi to the local nightspots by the sea was also only a few euros, if required.

If you’re looking for something intimate, unpretentious, welcoming and restful to spend a few days, or weeks in the sun, then Paradise Island Villas is perfect.

Good spacious rooms, small kitchen area has good sized fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, filter coffee and nespresso coffee machines. Bedroom is on 1st floor via spiral staircase that some people may find awkward. Robes, slippers and flannels provided. The staff are so friendly and helpful, always asking if everything is ok. 20 minutes walk to beach but shuttle is provided during the day if necessary. Each villa has small pool in private garden but jet can be switched on to provide a current to swim against.
The hotel food is excellent

We went to Paradise Island villas after we got married with our four children and their partners. The villas we had (one three bed, one two bed) were superb - comfortable, luxurious and well equipped, with our own garden pools. The breakfasts were quite simply the best we have ever had in a hotel, and the main pool was rarely busy and well served with bar and snacks. The local town of Annisaras is 20 mins walk and Hersonissos in bigger and about 15 mins in a cab. Both had lots to do and were enjoyable places to visit - especially in the evening. The staff at Paradise Islands were attentive, helpful, polite but not intrusive. We cannot recommend this hotel enough - you will have a brilliant time.

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel special and welcome! Our villa was superb, the private pool and garden area were just lovely. Breakfast options were fantastic, and we ended up having dinner in the restaurant most nights, which was equally nice. Access to main roads was easy and we visited a number of beaches which were recommended by the owners… they could not have been more helpful. We had a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

It is very quiet and remote so you would need a taxi to take you to nearby lively resorts. There is no actual entertainment at the villas. It is more for relaxing and chilling. The staff are fantastic and look after you brilliantly and will definitely recommend nearby places.
