Last minute holidays to Cyprus

Raya

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!

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.

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

Elena Alexeeva

Swimming pool in SPA zone all the day full of children, very noizy, water everywhere, acceptable only for family vacations, not for relax for adult. Only part of the restaurants were opened and worked from 8 p.m., the other part were closed even though it was Sunday. During check-in there was empty plate on the table from previous guests and the card with the text about Cyprus sweets. Very dissatisfied.

Just came back from a beautiful 12 night stay at Elysium with three generations of our family. Hotel is beautiful with fantastic food great facilities. Both the breakfast and particularly the Buffet menu offered were brilliant and offered fantastic variety of amazingly cooked food for all options within our family. Special mention has to go to the staff! Every member of the staff were friendly, attentive and could not do more for the guests. Really made everyone feel welcome and great example to other hotels on how customer service can be done! Thanks for an amazing holiday!

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.

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!

I stayed in this hotel for 7 days with my family. I had bad nights sleep with the poor quality single beds pushed together to make a double for me and my wife, we had to tie them together so as the didn’t keep sliding apart as our child sleeps between us. We also found the walls very thin as every single noise in the hallway seemed to travel into the rooms. I personally couldn’t get my head around how unhappy 95% of the staff in the hotel were. I am a big believer in tipping for my service and even after tipping the staff they didn’t even make eye contact never mind smile. I constantly felt like I was putting them out by asking for stuff such as an extra soft drink at dinner. I found the snacks bar at the pool bar was quite poor compared to other hotels. I did see a couple of issues that I would be concerned about if I worked for the hotel such as staff bullying and life guards never watching a pool and spending their Time watching their phones . I personally won’t stay at this hotel again because of these issues. I believe if your on holidays to enjoy yourself the hotel should at the lease make you feel welcome

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.

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.

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!

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!

- We booked our holiday in 02/ 2024 directly via your booking office, we wanted rooms with sea view but we received rooms with inland view, we were informed that we are not going to have the rooms with sea view the evening before departure to Cyprus via email. We received family rooms, we didn't need four beds. The view from the room was disgusting. It was noisy, it stunk because of the kitchen ventilation, awful. - There are way too many sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool. In the garden there were mud because of the watering system of the lawn. - The hosteses were mostly very serious and not hospitable. When there were weddings in the resort, their music was louder than the music in the restaurant. I waited on a queue to take some food because there were so many people. The empty plates stayed on the table for a very long time. definitely not a 5* hotel experience. There are way better 5* resorts than this one, so we are not coming again.

Overall a lovely experience relaxing in the warm sunshine. The hotel is well located with a coastal walk into Paphos town which took around 20 minutes. Rooms were well appointed, beds comfortable and were serviced daily to a high standard.

The hotel wildly exceeded our expectations. Beautiful hotel and grounds, comfortable and spacious rooms, spotless throughout, unbelievably good food and drinks. Really enjoyed the shows and our young family members loved the children's entertainment and activities - especially Bella the Elephant and friends. We were part of a large family group attending our son's wedding, and the main buffet restaurant accommodated us all every day which was some feat. But our biggest thanks go to your exceptional staff who were all first class - friendly, helpful, patient and efficient. Elena M our room attendant went above and beyond with a cheerful smile, even when we had to ask for both our beds to be changed after our granddaughter had a little accident on them. All the waiters were good, but Matej needs special recognition for excellent service all week. And the two waiting staff who looked after us all at the evening Wedding Meal were fabulous. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, we don't know how you do it in that heat!!!

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 . 🌅

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.

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.

Sanjay Devit

The rooms are very good and can't fault the service. We did have ants appear in our room after some room service. I would also add for some odd reason after cleaning the room the old towels kept being left in the room. Otherwise a very good hotel if visiting Paphos. Only 12 euros to the harbour or old town by taxi.

This hotel has the potential to be a 5 star, but most definitely is not. The location is good, the bar is nice and the rooms are spacious, but that is where the positives end. The balconies are far too small for more than one person to sit on comfortably. Our bathroom extractor did not work and despite reporting it early on, nothing was done. Cleaning was cursory and after 5 nights we had to ask for clean sheets. The pool is far too small for the size of the hotel and there are not enough sunbeds. Even at half capacity, it was a struggle to find any. The decor is old and poorly maintained. Corridor carpets are filthy, walls are marked and badly painted. There are several trip hazards in pedestrian areas. The worst part was the food. The quality and variety was woeful and everything was cold. On the first night I developed food poisoning and was very ill for several days. The staff have no concept of correct reheating and maintenance temperatures. I suspect that leftovers are carried over from one meal to the next. Despite the advertisement, there is no a la carte restaurant. Drinks service at the table was slow which meant that drinks often arrived after we had finished eating. As a result, we had no alternative but to eat out every evening which defeated the object of paying for half board. All in all, as a qualified hotelier and caterer, I would currently rate this hotel as 3 stars. Bad management, inadequate facilities, poor maintenance and lack of proper staff training, together with improper food hygiene and safety measures all need to be addressed urgently if this hotel has any chance of elevating it to where it purports to be. A large building and a chandelier in the foyer is not enough.

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.

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!

Kamil Jakubiak

Staying at the Hylatio Tourist Village hotel was an absolutely delightful experience for our family. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and attentive service. The hotel’s charming, village-style architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens created a serene and picturesque environment that felt like a true escape. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, providing all the comforts we needed for a relaxing stay. Our children enjoyed the standard, well-maintained pool and the various recreational activities available, which kept them entertained throughout our visit. The on-site restaurant offered a fantastic variety of delicious dishes, catering to all tastes, including local Cypriot cuisine that we thoroughly enjoyed. The location of the Hylatio Tourist Village is perfect for families, with easy access to nearby beaches and attractions. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable, offering helpful suggestions for excursions and activities. Overall, our family stay at the Hylatio Tourist Village was memorable, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful family-friendly vacation spot.

Mark Davies

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.
