Yria Island Boutique Hotel & Spa

This is a very mediocre 4* hotel posing as a boutique spa 5* hotel. Clearly a very talented photographer, the reality is very far from the pictures online. The service is non existent, the wi-fi is non existent, breakfast is mediocre, we paid for a junior suite and we were given a basic room. We asked to book a massage at the “spa”, but there’s no spa. There’s a massage room and there’s no therapist in the hotel either. If you need a treatment they contact an external therapist and if he/she has availability they might show up. This is an ok place for 200 euros but not for the 1000 per night we paid for. Avoid at all costs and treat yourselves somewhere very nice instead.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience at this hotel was deeply disappointing. Despite having a confirmed reservation, I was refused check-in because I did not have the physical credit card with me. I was ready to provide alternative payment methods, but no effort was made to find a solution. What upset me even more was the complete lack of empathy and hospitality. I was travelling alone with my two children, and after refusing to accommodate us, the hotel would not even allow us to order drinks while we waited for a taxi to another hotel. The reservation manager behaved in a very aggressive and disrespectful manner. Instead of trying to help or calmly explain the situation, he argued with me, raised his voice, and treated me with a level of disrespect that I have never experienced in a hotel of this category. Unexpected situations can happen, and every hotel has its own payment policies. However, professionalism, courtesy, and basic human kindness should never depend on them. This experience completely ruined the beginning of our holiday, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone expecting genuine hospitality.

We had a wonderful stay at Yria. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and tucked away from the busier areas, which made it the perfect place to relax. The staff was truly the highlight of our stay—everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paros.

We stayed nine days at the Yria Boutique Hotel on Paros Island and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the hotel conveyed a sense of exclusivity and tranquillity. The service is at the high level one would expect, with the breakfast team in particular being warm and attentive. The restaurant offers refined Mediterranean cuisine of gastronomic quality, making it a highlight of the stay. The location is convenient, just 300–400 metres from the beach, while the hotel itself features a large pool relative to the number of guests. This ensures a relaxed atmosphere, never feeling crowded. The hotel is organised into charming Cycladic-style houses, set around a small Orthodox chapel at the centre of the property. This thoughtful design adds to its character and charm. If there is one detail to mention, it would be that the bedroom furniture could benefit from a slight refresh. However, this is a very minor point compared to the overall experience. In all, Yria Boutique Hotel is a gem on Paros and an address I would highly recommend. It offers beauty, calm, and authenticity—truly a place worth discovering.

Very nice and peaceful hotel with great gardens. The family maisonette was really comfortable and the room was always clean. The reception was very welcoming and always ready to accommodate all requests. We had a great time. Its a bit expensive but worthy.
