I went to Paradise Beach Resort as a long weekend get-away in the middle of a cold Wisconsin winter and got exactly what I expected. I knew when I booked that the hotel hadn't been remodled in quite a while and that was obvious when I checked in. The room didn't smell like smoke to me which I was worried about, but it was on the small side. There was nowhere to hang my clothes- only a dresser- and the "closet" had no door or other covering. The safe that was advertised was an additional charge and had signs of rust on it! BUT I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is not planning on spending a lot of time in their room. You CANNOT beat the location!!! We were on the first floor, and while our patio door was extremely difficult to open once we did we walked out onto a small patio with chairs. The pool was about 40 feet away to our right and the ocean was about 150 feet away to our left. We had an AWESOME time, the private beach was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. There were also jet-skis and surfboards available for rent. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant the day we left and were quite happy with our meal. The location of the hotel is great also as far as restaurants and souviner shops. I would most definatly stay at this hotel again! I would recommend Damon's BBQ for dinner, their ribs were incredible- the meat just melted off the bone and our waiter was great.

I am not sure which was worse the rude staff, leering foreign owners, outrageous food and beverage prices, or the dirty, unkept rooms. We had to ask for wash cloths everyday for four days to be brought to our room because the houekeeping staff would only at most leave one wash cloth for a double occupancy room. One day we had no towels, bath or wash cloths at all. When we would ask the housekeeping ladies for more they would laugh in our faces and talk to each other about us in their native tongue. No one in the complex spoke English and all were very rude from the family members who owned the motel, front desk help, and housekeeping. The prices were outrageous and 18% gratuity was tacked on to everything. Mold had taken over the balconies, drawers were broken in the chest, the bathtub and toilet were all scratched up like someone was trying to claw their way out. We had to ask for cups and an ice bucket. Everything on the beach that you figured would be included in your motel package i.e. beach lounge chairs, had to be rented out. I think the only thing that was included in the motel stay was access to the ocean, how generous of them!

While the Paradise Beach Resort was no five star hotel, it was also more than worth the $152 per night. Our room was immaculate, the service was phenominal, and the beach and pool were trully amazing! our view from our room of the pool and ocean was worth every penny more of the five dollars.

If you wish for a five star resort then go ahead and dish out $400 a night, but for the money this place was well worth it.

The food at Milo's Taverna was excellent, but opt for breakfast and lunch from the tiki menu, it's much cheaper. However, authentic greek cuisine is far from cheap.

On that note, we will be back, a true gem!!

I could go on about how terrible this place is...but to put it in perspective I can say it should be shut down for health code violations. It was just plain dirty everywhere! I believe the carpets have never been cleaned. The list of dirty and broken things could go on and on..Do people justice and SHUT DOWN!
