The grounds surrounding the hotel are fantastic, lush amazing and rare plants and amazingly kept.

We paid very little for our room which was a basic one away from the main hotel, this room was great for the money, the decor was very early 90s and bathroom was just okay but it was real good value always clean, just a lil dated.

The pools outside were great, clean and 2 different varieties. the pool inside was very dirty and hadnt been cleaned for a while, so we didnt use it. the fitness facilities were there free of charge and spa treatments were offered but were very expensive and you had to book in advance as they were always booked up. The breakfast was included with the room and was very good, unlimited choice and good service. the food at diner and tea is nto included and is extremely expensive, i think it was 30 or 60 euros per head which is crazy, so we didnt eat there at all.

There are many good things at the paradiso, one of them is the free shuttle bus to the beach and town, comes every 45mins and drops u off where you want to go, very useful and free, only downside is the last one back from town to the hotel is at 7pm, but its ok theres many buses from the town to the hotel but it just made it more hassle.

Another good point is the reception staff, especially silvana, who is gods gift to that hotel. Her english is exceptional, better then mine, knows everything about the island as she lives there and done it all, always smiles, rememebers your name and does anything for you, she made ischia even better, the other staff were equally great and knew alot of things and spoke good english.

The hotel is lovely, very clean, lots of germans but that really doesnt matter, amazing grounds and gardens, nice pools, great breakfast, amazing staff, free transports to beaches and town, superior local knowledge

not many downsides other then, cleanliness of inside pool, price of night food, last shuttle bus from town..these are annoyances but will not ruin your holiday,

do yourself a favour and ask every question u want to Silvana as she will answer everything and be 100% right!!!! also go to sorgetto it is an amazing beautiful natural place, sugggested by silvana

We stayed at this hotel with our 6 year old and another couple of friends with a daughter the same age. The location is absolutely breathtaking: great thermal pools, great views, beautiful garden. We stayed at the "garden" part of it (detached from the main hotel area) and would have been fine with the short walk to go have breakfast in the morning if it weren't for the horrible service the main desk and restaurant offered. The room was decent, although their bathrooms were small and could use an upgrade. The two ladies at the front desk were very rude and unwelcoming, and even forgot to give us our ID's back when we left! The waiters at the restaurant (we only took breakfast there, it's worth exploring the island for lunch and dinner) were slow and unprofessional. There is a SPA at the hotel, which is very nice and the ladies working there are quiet good. Unfortunately the administration decided to put very very slippery tiles in (and there is a thermal pool down in the SPA as well) so the tiles are always wet. On my first day there I slipped and sprained my ankle. The only thing we got out of the front desk (we were really hoping for at least an apology!) was that the rude ladies told us that there was a sign on the wall warning guests that it was slippery!!!! Too bad, cause we loved the place!

My husband, daughter and I stayed there for 4 days in June. It was the most wonderful experience. Our room was located in the Paradiso Garden which is their annex building... in my opinion this is the best place to stay in the hotel... it is only a short walk to the main building so this is not a problem. The rooms are quite large, clean, and tastefully decorated. My daughter loved the pool and playground. We loved that their was 24hr vending machines that we could get snacks, drinks and even beer (how funny is that)... All of the grounds are so beautiful and they have really gone the extra mile to make it wonderful. they have flowers from all over the world that are labelled and maintained amazingly. The staff were so kind and helpful... they gave my daughter sand toys to play with... helped us find places to go and eat... were always found with a smile on their face. They really cared that we had a good time. The restaurant is amazing... the food was so good... the food alone is a brilliant reason to come back. I had spa treatments and once again it was a great experience... the only thing that I would have liked better was if the rooms were not so small and sterile feeling... I felt like I was at a doctors office... the room where I got my manicure was more of a closet... and felt so cramped... though it should be private the should be more inviting and relaxing and not feel like you are locked up in the basement.... on the other hand the thermal pool at the spa is great... and the relaxation area for mud treatments is nice as well.... the treatments that I had were also nice and the girl that did them was very kind and friendly.... it was just the environment that was a bit off. I think you can tell that I would highly recommend staying here... especially if you have a family. Oh I almost forgot... the shuttle van was perfect! The driver was so kind and helpful... they picked us up when we arrived at the harbor and took us there when we left (you just have to time your hydrofoil departure with the shuttle schedule). We also took the shuttle to the beach and town several times and it was perfect!

The name fits...this is truly the island's premier paradise spot. I have visited Paradiso every year for the past 6 years, sometimes 2-3 times a year. I am addicted! The staff is nothing but incredible, the grounds pristine, the spa fabulous & the food excellent. If you want to experience true relaxation in a beautiful hotel, visit Hotel Paradiso Terme in Ischia.
