Paleros Beach, Greece
Saturday, October 4, 2025
This is our third year visiting the resort - it was as expected, good service, friendly staff. Lots of kit not in great shape or usuable, ie at least half the bikes were out of action waiting for inner tubes, dinghies missing kit, table tennis bats worn out. The fitness team - Mark & Immi - were great. Padel was good. The resort looked a bit shabby - flower beds over grown etc. Food good - wide variety, though I think the desserts were very artificial - too upf (unless baklava or fresh fruit!).

The positives - Great weather, gorgeous setting with views of mountains and sea, first class food, lovely pools, good sailing conditions & great tuition from Simon, basic gym facilities, spotless housekeeping, town a short 30 minute stroll
Less positive - Plenty of sun loungers but about 20% broken so twice daily hunt to find one in good condition, no sailing classes for first 3 days as beach was short staffed, long queues for happy hour beer & cocktails so often missed happy hour prices because of 20 minute queueing, evening entertainment did not happen at all on last night which was billed as party games

My first Mark Warner holiday and hopefully not my last. Aeolian village is an attractive resort nestled in hills and next to the sea. I enjoyed great tennis coaching and the most fantastic yoga. All the staff were professional and approachable. I have actually returned home fitter!

Lovely place, friendly staff and good selection of water sports on offer. Bar prices a bit steep, but overall a great holiday.
Transfer was only about half an hour.
The bay is calmer than the other MW resorts but it means it’s better for paddle boarding and rowing.

We had a very nice week on our second visit to Paleros. We had to travel on a later outgoing flight and it was fantastic that when we got to the room quite late at night there were some sandwiches and fruit in the fridge for which we were really grateful.
We got going straightaway with sailing and some fitness classes and had a successful week out on the water. The waterfront team were helpful as ever but they could do with a few more larger dinghies and especially Lasers, as these were often oversubscribed for the Sunset Challenge. The peculiar local winds that come in during the afternoon added to the challenge but were not too difficult to deal with. Paleros is a sheltered resort so the sailing area is ideal for beginners.
The room was comfortable and the cleaning excellent. A plumbing issue was fixed rapidly.
There were a few maintenance issues around the hotel. The main pool had a certain amount of algae around the outside, which should be cleaned, but general grounds maintenance was noticeably effective. The gates leading to the road and the waterfront were broken and did not shut properly, this being a safety issue especially for children.
The food was plentiful and lovely, and we had a variety of dishes throughout the week, so the buffet did not seem repetitive. The indoor restaurant was a little lacking in atmosphere, the lights were a bit bright, but the service was great. We overcame the breakfast coffee challenge by taking our own coffee bags and people did the same with their tea, but the need for this depends on how particular you are. Taverna lunches were nice and pretty good value, with large portions, but we were beset with wasps which made it slightly hard to eat there in a leisurely way.
It is bizare that this resort is still dependent on bottled water, when the tap water is perfectly drinkable, and buying this, though not expensive, is pretty much mandatory in the restaurant and the Taverna. In this day and age, and understanding the environmental issues, you expect chilled water dispensers and to be served water with your meal. MW should just accept reality and add 20 Euros to the cost and make this happen, your customers have been saying this for years!
The town is an easy walk and has some nice restaurants, cafes and bakeries.
Overall this is a highly recommended resort with just a few improvements needed.

Accommodation, food, staff, activities, pools, beach were all amazing. Just need to upgrade the beach lounges and clean the beach as people for some reason leave their rubbish and cigarette butts there!!! We had the best holiday 👍

Very enjoyable break with excellent food.
Venue / location
Very comfortable rooms which were well looked after, with a good size adult swimming pool available. We very much like the MW approach of in resort breakfast/dinner & then leaving the choice of lunch venue open to the holidaymaker, with plenty of options along the beach or in the town of Paleros.
On site spa & physio staff were handy for treatments for any injuries too etc.
Good activity options
sculling, a unique MW offer, very enjoyable & good exercise
dinghy sailing & windsurfing
guided road biking and mountain biking tours, to villages and towns nearby for a coffee or water stop
paid options: our kids tried waterskiing for the 1st time and this was well instructed
there are also activity classes, only tried pilates myself, but some intensive ones like HIIT were available
tennis, padel available (not tried myself) but the tennis crowd seemed to have great fun
Any cons?
Time to retire & replace the fleet of bikes as they are getting long in the tooth and suffering many punctures/needing repairs. Generally however, there were always enough bikes available for teh tours or borrowing to cycle into the centre of Paleros at lunchtime..

This holiday exceeded my expectations and I had the most wonderful time. This was mostly due to the people I met and the social table was a great idea for people travelling alone. My room was really comfortable, the food selection was good and the activities superb. The weather perfect and hardly saw a cloud all week

Resort is nice and in a good location. Rooms were a good sized and clean. Food was good and fresh but very ‘samey’ each day. Resort is well positioned for local restaurants and beach bars though.
The fitness timetable was good with a good variety / timing of classes.
Bikes were in a very poor state of repair and many were not available due to lack of spare parts, particularly inner tubes, which was disappointing.
Sailing offerings for beginners/ refreshers could have been better.
