My husband and I stayed here in Feb 2009. We soon will be leaving for another vacation to the Great Parnusses. After reading all the reviews it sounds as if this place has changed a lot. In Feb of 2009 we had a wondeful time even after we read all the negative reviews, the food was so so but we... More

The food could be better in the main dining hall but the restaurants are lovely. one night i left as i felt unwell and they brought steak and mash on a silver tray to our room and... More

We were 4 adults and 4 teens that met at the Great Parnassus from 12/21-12/28. Let's get the minor cons out of the way first. I read many reviews ahead of time and so anticipated towel issues and elevator issues. Towels: It's true that there is inconsistency about having enough towels left in your room. The fix: Order them daily... More

It is in a great location, peacefull and quiet but... More

We were able to get a top notch room (oceanfront with a Jacuzzi tub in our balcony facing the ocean) for a decent price. We stayed in room# 138... More

Here is our review of the Great Parnassus, like previous reviews I will include helpful information regarding flights and overall experience, however the overall rating is on the actual hotel itself. Returned from the Great Parnassus on the 6th of December after a fantastic week in Cancun and at this hotel. Flew from Gatwick and paid the extra to pre... More

I am a little late with my review, but the property was outstanding. We were facing the ocean, and I felt our room was spectacular. The bed was comfortable, and the scenery was outstanding. The food was very good, and the spa as well as the gym were much more than I had expected. We actually went without the kids... More

Our stay at the Great Parnasuss overall was good, the accommodations were OK, I would equate it with a Hampton Inn in the US. The food was average, the Magnus buffet lacked variety, and the small restaurants had a very limited menu. As an arrogant American I expected that every member of the staff would understand English, this was not... More
