Para Sun Studios

My one week stay was very unpleasant. The studio room was very basic and very dirty! The floor had hairs all over it and a lot of sand everywhere including the beds. It seemed like they hadn't cleaned the room for months! There is no kettle, toaster and we only had one glass. We weren't given any toilet paper or any soap so we had to buy that ourselves. There is no air con and it gets VERY hot and it was really uncomfortable. The beds are rock hard and you only get one measly pillow which is as flat as a pancake! Rhodes itself I felt was not as i expected. Yes, it is true the beach is only 10 minutes away but beware because it is a dirty pebble beach!!! The beach is very dirty with rubbish flying about everywhere! The only nice part of the holiday was visiting the old town.

Everything was o.k room wise, but watch out for the men who work their, they like the ladies all of them, very off putting- would not go back there again for this reason.

Just back from a holiday in the Parasun Studios. The studios were very basic, and not very clean, We arrived and I dont think the floor had been swept for about a month, there was crisps, hair and sweet papers still under the bed, eventhough the maid had been in to clean, the patio was just as bad.....Didnt like to keep the door open during the night as we had nightly cockroches visits us, we had to place papers and shoes over the drains to stop their visit.... The studios are not air conditioned aswell and the studio is very hot... You can hire fans from the Family for 5 euros per day, but in the town fans only cost 18 euros to buy...( apparently the fans were left by last years guests who purchased them on the Island) On a good note the pool area and complex its self is nice and the weather was fantastic, the island was also fantastic and the family, Paris, George and Alex were very friendly and entertaining.... (george and alex do like the woman and this can be a little overpowering) and the cleaner needs glasses....

My husband and i took our honeymoon at Parasun, and boy were we glad we did! I have found the whole experience to be the best ever holiday abroud. We were met by Paras [I would say that she is one of the hardest working ladies i have ever met], who gave us a most required cuppa and was then shown our apartment. Yes there is no air conditioning, no kettle, toaster - if you are that bothered about these things, then bring them from the UK after reading the comments here. Paras and her two sons George and Alex made up for the no air con. [Are you really in your apartments that long anyway?] We had a right laugh and were made most welcome, even if we were both tone deaf on the karoke night.
Rhodes town isnt far, a short taxi ride or nip on the bus, 2 euros each. Quite cheap in town. Lots of shops, bars restuarants. One place to go would have to be the water park. So much fun - even though a little scary.
If you go on any excursions - ask lots - as we found there was hidden costs that we were not told.
Excellent place to stay - bringing the kids next year. Roll on 2009.

Thanks to Paris and family and Chris and Diane for making this a great holiday. Apartments were very basic but spotless. Everyone here had a fantastic weeks holiday. Great pool and bar service. Looking to come back in the future!

A wonderful time again spent at Para Sun. We were made to feel very welcome by Paris, Alex and George. The apartments are basic but are more than adequate. You come and go as you please which is what self catering is all about. We met some lovely people and will be visiting Para Sun in the future. A fantastic time in a lovely resort. Local food was excellent and there are restaurants in abundance, weather fantastic, the swimming pool was very inviting and you could also help yourself at any time to drinks/food. We would recommend Para Sun to all our friends.

It was my honeymoon the hotel itself very basic but was my 1st time abroad so easily pleased to start with.I found Paris VERY selective at being friendly and who with she didnt treat all her guests the same which found rude!!DO NOT have a bar or food tab with these people unless you have a good memory as we got RIPPED off another thing that was a disappointment was the food not the quality but the quantity!!!This was again selective to her guests I paid the same but got half the amount that other guests were receiving!!!BEWARE when you get here aswell of her son George he seems a nice man but very lechorous!!!Paris at times seemed quite pleasant and just as you thought this holiday is'nt so bad she became rude,impatient and bias with her guests when in that sort of business you should treat your guests EQUALLY!!!!!!!!Apart from this Greece itself was a beautiful country.

Had a fantastic time on our first stay at parasun.
Paris Alex and George made us feel very welcome.
HOME FROM HOME.
Apartments just what you need for a two wk holiday,
clean and very spacious, pool a lovely size for all ages and sunbathing areas are avaliable freely all around the pool. Beach and restaurants 10 min walk away.
A definate day trip 2 Simi is a must, AMAZING.
Rodes town only a 10 min drive in a taxi for 9 euros, where you will find lots of markets and nice jewellers. We will almost definately be back again this year.

What can i say.....yes Para Sun looked ok...but if you are one of the unlucky people who turns up to be told that they have over booked and you are subsequently taken to another place, in the middle of nowhere with greek students as neighbours and an empty pool (ie a pool with NO water) you may well have a different opinion. Spent the 1st night scared to go out of the room as people were urinating and partying on the balcony. Went on all night! It was totally ridiculous. After trying to rectify the problem with the woman who proports to run para sun) she became aggitated and rude. Basically told us to 'get on with it'. No apology or remedy. Never again. We later found out we are not the 1st people this has happended to! Beware!!!!!!!

did"nt know what to expect,and was delighted by our last minute choice
very clean room,pool area and terrace.very friendly family and always available.if you want a quiet relaxing break then this is the place. plenty of s/markets nearby as well restaurants etc.rhodes town only 10 minutes
away by frequent bus service .only 10 minute stroll to beach.
