Esperion Vacations from $848

We stayed at Akron as a family of 4, with a 3 year old and a 2 year old. It was a really great resort to stay for what we wanted, which was to have all amenities on site or nearby. We went half board, we’d planned to just do bed and breakfast but it was only £1 a night more for half board when I booked. But we’re so glad we did, the food was varied each night, it was tasty, and it made it way easier with the 2 kids. You also get local beer or wine included at dinner even if you’re not all inclusive which was nice. The breakfast also had lots of variety. Staff also really lovely. We stayed in a superior maisonette - 2 storey with a balcony on the lower floor. No swim up pool. We actually had our 2 kids sleep upstairs in the master room (2yo in a cot and 3yo in the bed) and we slept on the twin beds in the living area. There’s a steep set of stairs between the floors that you don’t really want young kids going up or down on their own and you can’t block them off from the living area. So. With the kids upstairs we could keep them safe in the bedroom with the door closed and not have to sneak past them during nap time or after their bed time to use the bathroom or go on the balcony. The pool area is great and doesn’t ever feel crowded, the kids pool is about 2 ft deep all over so not “paddle depth” at any point. So kids who can’t swim always need arm bands etc. Canal d’amour beach literally 1 min walk from pool. 10+ restaurants a 5 min walk from reception.

This property is all about location, location, location. The setting is spectacular, on a private beach and with magnificent views. Very nice pool area. 15 min walk to Gaios, where you can catch the boat to Antipaxos and find plenty of restaurants, shops… Rooms are small and tired and feel more like 3 stars, they could certainly do with a renovation but, in a setting like this, you don’t want to spend too much time in the room anyway! There are not many hotels in Paxos so this is currently a good choice. The place has lots of potential, it could be amazing if updated

Lovely rooms and pool area

We had a good time at this property. The pros: it is a great location relative to the old town, the AC worked great, the room stayed dark a night, the breakfast buffet was solid (eggs, fresh fruit, pastries etc). The cons: in the photos, the room looked like it had a juliette balcony but that must have been a different room or a camera trick, the room was very dim, exacerbated by the fact that the windows have shutters that are kind of hard to open, the coffee was very weak but also burnt tasting at breakfast both days, and there was no laundry service. Lastly, the garden is quite small and in July, not really enjoyable due to heat/sun and a lot of flies. Finally, not really a negative but we were staying here for our honeymoon which we mentioned in advance and no one congratulated us which was surprising for a small boutique hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but cannot recommend as excellent.
