Last minute holidays to Cyprus

Jan Adams

Clean rooms with bedding and towels changed every 2 days. Breakfast had a good selection but could have been hotter, maybe the addition of a microwave would be good. Location to beach and harbour very good. Some great restaurants in the local area. Staff very helpful and friendly.

I was on vacation with my family and colleagues. We booked a double room and an apartment. A uniquely beautiful place, clean, quiet and peaceful. The staff is very polite and kind. The breakfast is top notch and in huge quantities. The rooms are cleaned every day, stocked with coffee and tea and as a compliment they left us a bottle of red wine. The apartment was also wonderful, a type of cottage on the side of the hotel. Clean, spacious and very comfortable. I would visit this place again. I would say the price-quality ratio meets my expectations. Top

We stayed in this hotel in October 2024. I can notice that we are not people who looking for luxury but demand comfort. We were extremely pleased to experience very hospitable and helpful treatment. All questions were immediately solved. The room was modest but had a minimum of necessary devices. The accommodation was cleaned regularly. The hotel is situated in a good location, close to the sea and the tourist area, but distant from the shops and markets. Every evening we had some entertainment performances in the hotel, so the evenings were full of events )). We are very grateful to the staff for the positive emotions and good times that we had.

Hotel was as expected and as described by Jet2.com and we were greeted with a warm welcome as we arrived. Staff spoke good English and helped us with any queries we had. Beach was only a five minute walk from the hotel and various mini markets in the area too. Food was fantastic and plentiful. All of the hotel staff were very hard working and so polite. Could do with some updating in the rooms, especially the old style air conditioning and bathroom light (takes quite a while to turn on after flicking the switch).

The hotel is trying. The entire hotel could do better if it had some renovation done. The area behind the hotel is a derelict abandoned hotel. If the area was redeveloped, it would tidy the area up. Again, it's not the hotels fault. Most of the staff are happy to help. The room maids make up beds each day. But could spend more time cleaning. Like floor brushing. The smell of cigarette smoke on our floor when you go into the hallway is strong. The entertainment throughout the day could be better. The potential for this hotel could be much better if these areas were improved. My rating for this hotel is 2 going on 3 stars.

We booked st valentines package and enjoyed it 100%, nice room, delicious food with plenty of variety, good atmosphere for dinner with welcoming rose and live singing, we even danced in restaurant. Breakfast was also great, a lot of choice and delicious. Service nice and friendly. Would love to come back

Beautiful hotel! - The pool is large/not crowded - There are multiple restaurants with different cuisines. The breakfast buffet is also very tasty and has a lot of options. - The rooms were spacious and very comfortable - Excellent staff and very friendly - The hotel is nice and bigger than the pictures. - The only thing that I would say, is that the beach front has rocks so if you want to access the beach, you would go from the middle. Other than that it was exceptional and I would 100% stay there again!

Rani Shoham

Very good facilities, really great service. Excellent restaurants. Nice location, pools, and very easy access to the beach promenade for walking and biking. The only issue was the room with "partial sea view". Actually, it was located just above the hotel entrance, with unpleasant view. We will come again to this hotel, but will pick another type of room.

3-stars. We’re returning customers and we always had a wonderful time at Elysium up until we visited on the 24th of November. They called us the day before to let us know that the hotel will be opening at 2pm. Nothing weird, we said okay. We arrive it 2:40pm, it looked like there was a religious event and they closed the hotel just for that with police also being outside. When we arrived at the underground parking, the gentleman there told us to go upstairs instead but we thought what’s the difference? We always parked there. At the check in, they tell us that only one hotel restaurant will be open with a small set menu. We haven’t been notified about this beforehand. They also said they gave us an upgrade (without us asking for it). Then the upgrade was a room overlooking the hotel car park. We complained about the restaurants being closed and only a day later they decided to give us an afternoon tea voucher before we leave (1 voucher for two rooms). We ended up eating at one of the restaurants and they changed the menu that they showed us only a couple of hours before. The desserts initially were 2 without having to pick only 1, then they changed it to ‘OR’ meaning you have to pick only 1. Christmas decorations were missing although every other luxury hotel would have them up (making us think it was due to the religious event that they had the day before). Night time room service with water and slippers was missed even though our friend received theirs normally. There were so many things wrong. The inside pool Was freezing on the first day we arrived. It was so disappointing, it did not feel like 5 stars at all. Even the hotel stuff were wondering why some things changed. There was no organising.

The hotel itself is great, amazing facilities and great location. However it seems to not care about the environment: the beach is daily cleaned by a tractor which is emitting black dirty exhaust gases spreading across the beach and surroundings. Also there many leaks in hoses used for cleaning and irrigation, so the water is wasted for nothing

In general the hotel was very clean, the choice of food was good and the staff were excellent, however to try and get a sunbed after 6.am was impossible. We ended up having to walk 30 minutes down to the beach and pay for sunbeds, food and drinks even though we had paid for an all inclusive holiday. Obviously adding cost to our holiday. We were not the only guests that experienced this leaving a good number of guests with a bitter taste as the overall cost of their holiday had increased significantly.

Went as a couple with no children but appears to be a child friendly hotel. Kids catered for in a section of dining area where they can choose to have chicken nuggets, pizza etc along side the grown ups variety of food, which offered a fair choice from breakfast through to dinner. Entertainment segment for kids in the evening followed by the adults. On site variety of arcade games for the kids as well as swimming area.

MAYFAIR HOLIDAY- Currently staying here for 14 nights, food is absolutely gorgeous here with different themes every night. Vegetarian&Vegan options also available! The staff here are super friendly, getting people involved in activities and always smiling. Only thing is the rooms are not very child friendly as floors are very slippery when wet, however this is something that can be looked over. Location is right next to a 24 hour shop which is very handy if you are someone who likes to get a snack in the evening and the food has stopped being served. 25/30 minute walk from the harbour with really nice restaurants! Bus routes to beaches and the water park. Would highly recommend. Loving the time here so far.

Angelika Glomska

We had an amazing time in this hotel, all 4 of us. Stuff very friendly, always helpful. We want to say a huge thank you to the lady at the restaurant, her name is Sylvia, always welcoming and charming, especially to little ones. Very helpful and full of advice, not just about the things around, but also about the life in Cyprus. Many thanks again, every hotel needs at least one of you! Hope to see you again!

A value for money hotel (compared to other hotels in Paphos). The hotel is in a central location, but when you go there you probably won't want to go anywhere. We traveled with 2 children, 13+6 years old. Children loved the swimming pools, especially the one with the small aqua park inside. The only downside, in my opinion, is that despite the presence of lifeguards on site, their number in comparison with the guests is small. Apart from that the pools are very safe, you just have to take klcare of your children. We booked our holiday in a half-board program (breakfast + dinner), and we loved the food. We enjoyed the fact that every night the theme of the bouffe was different. We loved the after-dinner activities offered by the hotel (bingo, dance shows, even parrot show), and it was something that kept us and the children amused. There is also a kids club and an arcade room. The hotel also has a small gym (bit under-stocked), a spa (we didn't use it), and the best, it also had a mini market. Rooms were average in amenities but spacious (family room). What I like about this hotel is the prices. For everything that we bought during our stay, the price was very reasonable (not only in comparison with other hotels but in general with Paphos prices). Some examples: Coffee (3 euros), pint of beer (3-4 euros), Hendricks gin (7 euros). The mini market also had low prices, and we actually didn't have any need that was not met. Last and most probably most notable is the staff. Very professional group of staff, and always polite, they certainly made us want to come back.( reception, bar, restaurant and entertainment staff). It's definitely worth spending family vacations.

Best experience of ever. This hotel is something. We arrived here with my husband for honeymoon and it was perfect. Stuff was very friendly and smiley. Delicious food and warm pools, best bar ever. We will definitely have another vacation here.

Shirley

Had seen negative comments on this hotel/apartment complex. We still booked and boy am I glad we did. The apartment was superb and complex stunning. Choice of pools, with bars and sunbeds next to them. Staff friendly and the animation team were excellent aka Lisa and Nora. Food was varied had a different themed meal every evening.

Tony williams

So me and my husband and our 1 year old stayed here for 9 nights from the 6 July - 15th July and honestly it was one of the worst hotels we’ve ever stayed in. I’ve come to Cyprus many times before and it was my favorite holiday destination as I’ve always found the people there was so lovely but this hotel didn’t live up to my standards. Starting off with the food- really and truly it was disgusting! Breakfast lunch and dinner was all the same, the meat was all fat or bone, the quality of the food was terrible and the taste just as bad. My 1 year old survived of chips until we found the local pub which was amazing by the way. The older woman working at the pool bar was miserable every day and on our last day told us we wasn’t allowed to use our all inclusive there anymore because we was leaving at 7pm that day! Although we actually missed our whole first day of all inclusive. The alcoholic drinks were terrible, you have to pay €6 for an actual cocktail which still weren’t that nice and the drinks you get included are their own brand alcohol with a bit of syrup in them. honestly I’ve never seen anything like it. On our 3/4 day we was sitting in reception waiting for our cab and the ceiling COLLAPSED about a meter away from my young son who was running around. On our second day at lunch my husband asked one of the staff for a drink and they completely ignored him, when he asked again the man then replied with “go and ask someone else” which is weird as it is his job. We didn’t get a sun bed not once whilst there as there just isn’t enough. Entertainment was just a woman singing most nights. I’m so disappointed in our stay and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here.

Not even a 3 star hotel (and they charge for a 4 star hotel). Where do I begin! If anyone (a manager or something... if you even employ such a person) is reading this, at least, please do something with the towels. They - to put it politely - stink! Here's an idea! USE DETERGENT! You know what? Just because God blessed you with a sea that we all want to enjoy, doesn't mean we will tolerate such facilities and re-visit! Once is enough! Some of your visitors, you'll never see again. We, obviously, can't count on you, but YOU, most definitely, can count on THAT!

Just come back from a fabulous holiday in Paphos. Lovely hotel, the landscaping around the pools is beautiful...such a wow factor when walking around. The staff were v friendly and I genuinely felt that the different teams in the bar, restaurant, cleaning and entertainment worked as a team and ran a very slick operation. The food was superb....so many healthy choices and plenty of variety and different themes each night. Lovely promenade from hotel down to the harbour area and I fell in love with every cat I met along the way ☺️. Was googling on the flight home possible dates I could go back.

Not great with small children, at least not off-season. We travelled with 20 month old and four year old and there is nothing to do besides the pool, which is not heated (our stay was during the winter). There is a playroom for children but they don't allow the parents to accompany children there. Our kids don't want to stay there without us, and observing how the staff interacts with them, I don't blame them. We are only allowed to use the playroom for 1h on Mon and 1h on Thu together with children. Most of the time the playroom is totally empty. Even when it is empty parents are not allowed in. Freaking waste of resources. Hotel could save a lot of money and provide much better experience by limiting the time of the day care service and provide more time for families to spend time there together. Now the only place for families to hang together is the lobby. All the staff in dining areas and everywhere has been great! Food has been amazing. Only complaint is the playroom that feels really frustrating. Service would be 5/5 if the playroom would work better.

My wife and I recently had the opportunity to stay at Olympic Lagoon hotel in Pathos and I must say, the food was exceptional. From the variety of choices offered each day to the option of experiencing the three on-site restaurants, my taste buds were constantly satisfied. What truly stood out to me, however, was the exceptional customer service provided by the staff. From the moment I arrived at reception to the interactions with everyone from guest relations through to the house keeping team, I was impressed by their professionalism and hardworking attitude. While the entertainment and drinks available at the hotel were top-notch, I did notice one area that could use improvement. As newlyweds, we were hoping to have a dance whilst enjoying the evenings, but unfortunately, it was not possible. It would be wonderful if the hotel could incorporate this into their offerings, perhaps with an hour of music and dancing following the final performance each evening. This small addition would truly elevate the overall experience at the hotel. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to others. The excellent food and exceptional customer service definitely made our stay memorable. I hope my feedback regarding the potential for evening entertainment is helpful and I look forward to returning in the future.

Wow! What an amazing place to vacation. Hotel, staff and restaurants totally deserve the 5 star rating. Everything was just perfect. Big shout out to Elena the bar tender in the swim up bar, you truly are an asset to the hotel. All our family felt safe and relaxed staying here and having the beach to do some snorkelling was a massive plus. Keep up the great work at the Olympic lagoon team!

Arron Wright

Overall hotel was nice. Very clean and nice room. Lifeguard staff and certain bar staff outside very miserable, guessing they are only friendly if you tip them. Allergy advice for coeliac wouldn't recommend this hotel if you have this. Due to certain products being cooked in same friers as gluten products yet not labelled may contain. Partner became ill during holiday due to this. Manager was informed thought she would have made an effort to come to see us but no. Won't be returning

Currently staying here as a birthday treat to myself. All I can say is that my room is spacious. Views of the Tombs from my balcony is breath taking. As a lone traveller the staff have been superb at dinner time. All so friendly and I do quite like the feline visitors. Great location. Will definitely come back again. Thank you to all at Venus beach hotel.

I spent 3 nights at the hotel with my wife and baby son. All in all, the hotel is reasonable, but I would not define it as 5 stars. Although the staff is very nice and helpful, the hotel facilities need an urgent upgrade. Mainly what disturbs is the lack of air conditioning, both in the hotel and in the rooms. Leaks in the shower, the small elevators that you have to push yourself into. Food is nice overall, but could be more diverse. The gym was very disappointing, it has a lot of space but no equipment at all, not even one TV for the treadmill. The prices are of course according to a 5-star hotel, but the value you get for the money you pay is simply not worth it. The funniest thing that happened was that I received an email that it was impossible to give us one big bed, while at the reception I was told that my bed was one big bed, and in the end I got 2 connected beds. The location of the hotel is quite central which is nice, and the promenade is simply stunning. Thanks for the hospitality but I would recommend the place to be upgraded a little.

Kris Nalepa

Nice location in my opinion hotel is overrated with this 5 star hotel. Night staff (young gentleman) provide best service ever . Hotel’s rooms are comfortable and very good location. Bad think what I noticed was a lady at the pool bar adding water to the bottle of white wine…

Dorottya Gidró

I would not define it as 5 star . We had some issues in our room (cockroaches) , We went to the reception and talked politely about the issue and the guy at the reception was rude and he acted like it’s something normal . But than the next day we spoke with the manager and she was nice she apologised , gave us another room . The rest of the staff was okay and helpful . The bathroom not so clean . The view from the bar , from our room is beautiful , the pool is nice , the beach is super . You can catch the sunset from the hotel and it’s pretty amazing . 🌅

Erika Deguara

Rooms good & clean. Overall Service good. Food decent, always fresh but not varied. Hotel is old. Spa needs serious refurbishment & certain areas of hotel too especially when you look at the building frome the pool area. The beach is a public beach & not part of the hotel. You need to pay for sunbeds & umbrellas. The beach towels are worn & stained. The outdoor furniture in the bar needs replacing or a good coat of paint. The view is nice especially sunset.

Rooms a little dated but clean. Lovely staff,Not too much choice if you're all inclusive but mostly something there for everyone. A bit out of the way but a short walk to the beach /shops. Ideally a car is needed which can be hired through the hotel with enterprise cheaply,around £40 per day.it's so easy to drive as they drive on the left like the UK. Honestly I walked in disappointed and walked out as that holiday being in my top 5. Lovely location and a super place to relax. We'll definitely return.

Maryse Thompson

Nice hotel, set in a small town with a couple of supermarkets and quite a few bars within walking distance about 10/15 minutes. Beach same distance its pebbley so sea shoes needed. The hotel itself is clean. We had a small house which was basic but we didn't do any eating in it as we were all-inclusive. The rooms were clean and cleaned every day with bedding and towels changed twice within our weeks stay. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was basic with not much choice and not hot. The dessert was disappointing, and there was only one choice and not very imagitive. The main downside was that half way through our week about 50 teenagers arrived and it felt like we were on a 18/30's holiday. If this is a regular occurrence at this hotel then it should stipulate this so that people are aware. Has we would definitely not gone at this time if we had known. Other than that we enjoyed our time at Hylatio Tourist Village and would return.

Duncan Strathie

Excellent facilities with a great bar and pool. Breakfast buffet is generous - pity they have tinned fruit rather than fresh local produce. Limes, olives, pomegranates and oranges plus other fruit are growing in the lovely and well kept gardens Plenty of parking. Only a 10 minute walk to Pissouri Bay beach. Excellent 👌

Jade Siddle

The staff are helpful and friendly, the food is lovely a nice selection and different meals every day. The pool is bigger than the pictures make it look and we always got a sunbed even in the afternoon. Our room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and bedding. The owner is such a nice man and very approachable. The entertainment is every other night which is absolutely fine! The rooms are a bit dated but very clean and the shower has good power. I don't understand where the bad reviews come from when you're staying in a 3* hotel I think some expect complete luxury. Pissouri is a small village so a car is ideal if you'd like to explore.

Peter Hammer

We just spent 3 wonderful days at the Hylatio Tourist Village and our stay was nothing short of amazing. The hotel's pool and gardens are beautifully maintained, providing a perfect backdrop for a leisurely holiday. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The buffet food at the hotel was delicious, with a variety of options! However, the best part of our stay was undoubtedly Cristian, the barkeeper. He took great care of us, making sure we had everything we needed and more. Cristian’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality set the bar high for customer service. We highly recommend the Hylatio Tourist Village Hotel to anyone looking for a tranquil and enjoyable holiday. We look forward to returning in the future! 100% recommendable!
