Summer Shades as lovely place to stay in Paros. It is a decent walk from the centre of Naousa (maybe 10/15 mins) but it felt relatively safe. The staff at the hotel were lovely. They were so helpful when we arrived, they provided lots of information and were always on hand to answer any questions we had. The pool was really good to have and it was never noisy or crowded. I look forward to going to their new hotel in Mykonos.

I don’t understand the reviews for this property on Expedia. we had to switch hotels the second night cause the beds, room, and noise from the road, were so uncomfortable that we weren’t able to sleep. Seriously, I’ve stayed in 1 star hostels nicer than this. Do not believe the reviews here.

Close to Paros main area of restaurants and shops

Beautiful pool area and close to the Paros main area. Nice to have a bar by pool atea. Owner George and his staff were amazing. But rooms need to totally updated. Including the AC units. I paid extra superior room, far from it. Showers tracks were gross with mold. I didn’t like the fact that you couldn’t bring your own snacks or drinks by the pool. I get it that they want you to buy from them. Overall the pool is the best part of the hotel.

The pool area was lovely but closed at 7pm, as most people eat quite late would be good to have it open a little longer …. 8-8.30? Staff were very attentive. A but if a walk uphill from Naoussa Square but also nice to be in a quieter area at night. We would recommend!

We were given a very small room which was not the one I booked. When I made enquiries they said they would change after the first night. (We were booked for 5 nights) The bed in the first room was so bad I hardly slept . Very uncomfortable, loud noisy springs and sagging so much, whenever we my moved we woke up. The room was not great and so small it was difficult to move around with only 2 of us. We were moved the next day to a much bigger room which was the one I paid for on the picture on website when I booked. This room was great and we had twin beds which were firm but comfortable. Great size fridge in this room compared to tiny one in first room, and we had a small table to eat at which was great. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating to our needs. The pool was wonderful, huge and clean. Lots of choice for Sunbeds which were a little tired but okay and a pool bar for food and drinks available. Location was away from main town and a car was necessary but there were buses I think. Coffee shops, cafes across the road which were great. Supermarket a couple of minutes by car. I would only rate this property 3 star but it suited our needs and once we were changed to the correct room, I think the price suited the property.

The staff were incredibly kind and generous with their time and super helpful for getting around. The room was very nice but the only issue was the bathroom is a bit old and has a slight sewage smell. Also the walk from the town center is a bit grueling in the heat. The only other issue was that they only give you one room key so in the summer the room heats up when you’re not home because the AC requires the key plug. Overall the staff were super helpful with giving us a lot of instructions and support and help with recommendations and getting around.

Stayed for our honeymoon in Paris. We absolutely loved the pool, ease of convenience to downtown Naoussa. Staff were friendly and very helpful when asking for restaurant recommendations, scheduling our transfers to the airport & overall questions. Conveniently located to coffee, laundry, food, etc. we would most definitely stay again and recommend to others!
