We stayed at Parrotel Beach Resort from January 2–9 as two families, and I waited patiently to share an honest review.
First Impression & Reception
We stayed at Parrotel Beach Resort from January 2–9 as two families, and I waited patiently to share an honest review.The first impression was good. The reception area is large, with a bar and plenty of open space. Everything looked fine on arrival.The staff were very friendly and welcoming, always smiling and helpful. We received two rooms close to each other, which we really appreciated.Rooms & Housekeeping
The rooms were okay, but definitely not new. The bathroom and shower looked quite old.Housekeeping was done by men only, which surprised me, but our housekeeper was always smiling, polite, and helpful.One issue was the door key cards — we had to change them many times because they stopped working.Pools, Beach & Environment
There are two heated pools:
One near the spa
One close to the beach
Both were enjoyable and well maintained.
The beach area was the right choice for us, and we were happy we picked a hotel with direct beach access.What I really liked was the environment — palms, greenery, and nature are very well looked after. You can clearly see that staff take care of the surroundings, which creates a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Coral Reef & Snorkeling
There is a long wooden bridge leading into the sea where you can rent snorkeling equipment.The coral reef is beautiful, full of colorful fish, and snorkeling was a great experience.Next time, I would definitely try diving, as the hotel provides this service. The reef is one of the biggest advantages of this hotel. Food available 5 times a day (breakfast, snacks, lunch, pizza, dinner).Pizza oven available, but only cheese and tomato, no other options.Buffet food was tasty and varied
Eggs were only available at breakfast, which was disappointing.Snack bars mainly offered French fries and sometimes a little meat. I missed simple snacks at the bars, like crisps or nuts, even for an extra charge — they were not available.The à la carte restaurant was included once for free. It was okay, but not really Italian as expected.During Christmas time, there were special seafood options, including large prawns. Soft drinks was okay, but Cocktails were a big no as most bartenders do not drink alcohol, and mixing cocktails is clearly not their strength.However, draft beer was very good.
The biggest issue was mosquitoes.We opened the window only once, and the bites were severe. My child had such a strong allergic reaction that we had to visit the hotel doctor.Huge thanks to the medical team — they were amazing, provided medication, and helped us a lot.
There are no mosquito nets on balcony doors, so I strongly recommend bringing mosquito protection with you.
Reception helped by spraying the room and allowed us a late check-out, which we truly appreciated.
I visited the spa for a full body massage.
Dry sauna was okay, but the steam room had strong mold smell and was very dirty.
Massage: Good.Therapist: friendly and helpful.
The kids club looks very old, and there was a mold smell inside, which was unpleasant.
It didn’t feel comfortable leaving my child there.They do some arts and crafts, but overall there is not much for kids.
They ofered us to visit Parrotel Aqua Park, but with an extra charge, but we desided to skip becouse was too cold. Evening animation was okay but week. All nice programs but it ends at 23:00 pm. Nothing else is available.After that, there is nothing to do, even though the hotel has a separate disco/concert hall and broken animation stage. Big thank you to the reception team, especially the young man who asked about my child.

The hotel and the resort is lovely, the staff is brilliant and very kind and helpful. All my family including my wife and kids loved the entertainment, the beach, the kids area, food. It’s all very clean as well. The free room upgrade was awesome as well. All in all it is a brilliant place to stay and spend some quality time.

The stay was comfortable enough and food was good. Didnt approve that the hotel, bar, restearant, spa and everything else employed 100% men. Even the entertainment dancers were men, they were not good at it. More importantly, the floor everywhere is dirty. All the (male) cleaners use a dirty mop.
