On the whole a good stay! But a few points to note, until i arrived i did not know my room was in a separate building to the rest of the hotel cthe Olympic Wing was nice but a trek from the bar and breakfast. The room was huge and eas cleaned daily. However the aircon didnt work too well and the matress was very uncomfortable.

This hotel felt like false advertising.

If you’re expecting a sandy beach on the property, think again. It’s actually a rocky shoreline with a concrete slab—more like a boat dock—where you can set up a beach chair.

The AC in my room was frustrating at best, and since it’s central air, I assume all rooms are the same.

I requested an ironing board and was given a tiny tabletop version with one folding leg missing. Who gives guests broken equipment? To make it worse, the “mini” ironing board was only available for one-hour use. I returned it to the front desk, pointed out the broken leg, and suggested they replace it for €15–€20 and check all the boards they loan out. I told the employee I wasn’t blaming him personally, but it was still his responsibility to escalate the issue.

The next day, when I asked to borrow an ironing board again, the receptionist handed me the same exact broken one I had reported. That was the last straw.

I was booked for two nights but the following morning my wife and I packed up and rebooked another hotel that was nearby. 100% better experience.

Don’t waste your time here, people, seriously.

Had an absolutely dreadful experience at this hotel and feel compelled to warn others. The behavior of the staff was nothing short of appalling, and I left feeling humiliated and outraged.

During my stay, I was treated like a criminal, accused of stealing a meal during dinner. Let me emphasize that I was a paying guest, and the way I was harassed by the staff was not only unwarranted but deeply disrespectful. The staff’s behavior was intrusive and aggressive—they repeatedly questioned me during my meal, creating a scene in front of other guests. It was utterly degrading and completely ruined what should have been a relaxing evening.

What’s worse is the lack of professionalism and courtesy shown by the staff throughout the ordeal. Rather than addressing any concerns discreetly or respectfully, they chose to escalate the situation unnecessarily. The staff’s attitude was rude and accusatory, and they made no effort to apologize for their mistake or the embarrassment they caused me.

This kind of treatment is unacceptable in any establishment, let alone one that is supposed to offer hospitality. Instead of feeling like a valued guest, I was made to feel like an unwelcome intruder. It’s shocking that this level of unprofessionalism and lack of basic decency exists in what is supposed to be a service-oriented business.
I would strongly advise anyone considering staying at this hotel to think twice. No one deserves to be treated with such disrespect and hostility. Avoid this plac

Gorgeous Sea Side Resort

Amazing resort hotel with cosmopolitan flare. The most shining stars come from their built in swimming sea coves. One gentle/shallow and one more adventurous. The pool is lovely & we appreciated security suddenly appearing when a group of partiers started getting out of hand.

We appreciated having lots of loungers
and many different areas with them. Provided yoga class and other built in activities a plus.

It’s worth it to at least pay for the built in breakfast, if not more. The food is fabulous, with a wide European selection, and eating while facing the sea is relaxing.

There is a walking trail throughout the property and a fabulous traditional Cypriot Taverna right across from the parking lot. The area is a snorkel lovers paradise and the nearest dive and snorkel shop is walking distance. Many other antiquities like castles and ruins are a short drive towards Lara point.

If you are planning on swimming at this hotel bring your own beach towels. We were thankful we had, based on other places we were staying on our trip.

The family suite was good for four.

The only time the staff was less than pleasant was when we asked for an additional room towel. We had 4 people in the room yet were only given 3. The front desk staff was surly about this and did not want to give us a towel. If the facility itself was not so beautiful, this experience would have left me with an unsavory feeling. However, the resort itself is so stunning we’ll definitely be back!

I stayed all inclusive with my partner in the Olympian wing “superior room”.

Negative points: The first impression was not great, for some reason the specific instructions said 3 single beds when I was hoping for a double bed, the split down the middle resulted in poor sleep. They didn’t respond to my email prior to check in, though admittedly I didn’t realise until on the day so short notice on my part. Our room was nice but on first night appeared to have excessive amount of ants. There were still ants in the room daily, but were not as frequent or in large groups as night one. The balcony was on the side and not facing out to the sea, which is not what I expected. Maybe not a negative but something to note.

Positives: the staff made the experience a good one. I would like to thank Tanya, Natasa, Olivia, Valentina and the gentleman with paw tattoo (I didn’t catch the name) for serving me drinks and ice cream at the beach bar. They were really focused and efficient and patient with my ever changing orders. We were at the sea front daily and so we spent a lot of time back and forth to the bar.

The food in the restaurant is a buffet and they have plenty of variance, the good thing is you will find something each time. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all good and puddings were nice too.

I don’t have much else to say, we really enjoyed the holiday and despite their being room for improvement. We would come back to this hotel and stay again all inclusive.

Peaceful Ocean-Front Oasis!

Located on a beautiful little point by the sea with lush vegetation. Wonderful swimming and snorkelling just off the beach. Bring your snorkel, water shoes, towels, toys - not included. Reserve beach chairs by 830am. Hotel older with some issues but clean and well cared for. Rooms a good size and clean. I had a beautiful sea view and loved listening to the ocean. Staff were helpful when asked direct questions but not overly friendly or sociable. I had the all-inclusive and found food and drinks pretty lacklustre - not a lot of flavour, lots of mass- production, re-runs day in and day out. Think high school cafeteria. The salads and fruit were hi-lights as they were fresh and tasty. Lines and crowds at buffet constant but expected for August. All-inclusive drinks were pretty bad - all some version of fountain soda or sugary syrups mixed with cheap alcohol. By day 3 of my 6 day stay, I was no longer eating at the hotel. There’s a beautiful sea-side restaurant next door with amazing sunsets, brilliant food, excellent wine and wonderful service - Tsiakkas Tavern - highly recommend. A few good restaurants on the main drag near the hotel and loads of good eats in Paphos. Overall, I was happy with the hotel for its proximity to the ocean, beautiful grounds, lovely sunsets, crashing waves and cleanliness. If I go back, I wouldn’t take the all-inclusive - outside the hotel there are many wonderful dining options for those with a car and a few for those without.

The sea view was stunning. The lagoon to swim in made the holiday for me.
I didnt like the food choices, very monotinous. If you choose half board the snacks at lunch are unappealing and expensive. They charge 3 euros for a coke and 4 euros for a coffee. That was served in a paper cup. The usual amenities coffee/tea and fridge you have to pay extra for. 🙄 taxis to the harbour are 20 euros, where normally, its a lot easier to get around.
Entertainment was below par.

Amazing views, great snorkelling right in front of the hotel. Beautiful sunsets. Staff are fabulous. Has a life guard, child pool, indoor and outdoor pools and ‘the lagoon’ seawater pool which is great. Never had a problem getting a sun lounger. Bus stop really close by so very easy to get to the harbour area and Coral bay. Entertainment ok if you like that kind of thing. Food is ok, but repetitive and as a vegetarian not so much choice. Place could use a bit of updating in places. Walls are thin so you can hear your neighbours. Unfortunately smokers allowed in all outdoor areas so strong smell comes into the property in the bar and pool areas.

Good location between Paphos and Coral Bay. On regular coastal bus route.
Rooms currently undergoing refurbishment, those not done are tired but the housekeeping is good.
Typical buffet range of food for breakfast and dinner. Very efficient staff bringing out fresh food and clearing tables. Snack bar and pool bar available.
Beach lagoon very good as it provides a sheltered life guarded area to swim in. Wind and rocks can prevent sea swimming otherwise. Pools were cool but it was Oct/ Nov.
Table tennis and gym facitilites okay. Tennis court in need of resurfacing, it is a carpet which has worn away at the base line making it dangerous for serious play.
Evening entertainment from 9.30pm was available but we did not use. Could not hear it where our rooms were so good if need to sleep.

Fairly basic hotel but in a superb location.

Have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and, regrettably, little has changed . The hotel location, midway between Pathos and Coral Bay , is superb and the sea pool is a delight. Staff are friendly and helpful but , in my view, food is not up to standard so we have gone there recently oh a B&B basis.Breakfast choice is quite good but more often than not, luke warm at best ! and no microwave provided. Food is a very personal choice and although acceptable in the main could certainly be improved. There are several nice restaurants locally which can all be recommended.
Hotel bedrooms are being refurbished and, upon inspection , are a great improvement...very bright and modern. Further rooms are being done over this winters closure. Enjoyed our stay, met familiar visitors but just a little disappointed .

I initially thought the hotel was too remote, but found there were regular buses to-from the harbour. Had I known this before, it may have affected my choice, but realise that most Hotels in Paphos are set out like this, you get no noise from bars/clubs, so it's cool once you get used to it.
My room had a sea view, which was stunning - I only booked a garden view, so it was a bonus.
The Hotel had lots of loungers on the private beach & in the gardens, indoor/outdoor pool, beach bar, massage area. Hotel staff were very aloof & never spoke, except reception staff. I ordered an iced coffee @ the beach bar without sugar, but it was too bitter. I asked for sugar & was given a small satchet. I added more from a larger jar & the guy glared at me & started talking in Cypriot to the others. Another guy said to me 'next time, tell him you want it sweet'. I said there wouldn't be a next time. Why the drama over a bit of sugar? No need for the attitude, it really shouldn't have been a big deal.
Towels/sheets only changed every 3rd day, I'd have preferred fresh towels more regularly. Beds made, but not changed daily.
Be aware that you can hear people in next rooms, TV blaring, doors slamming, kids & adults shouting into early hours. Not the hotels fault, but it can be a pain if you need to get up early for trips/flight home.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay & now I know what to expect, would probably would stay again if ever I return to Paphos.

On the beach but a taxi ride from the bars,etc.

Nice enough hotel in terms of its location which i think is what sells it to be honest otherwise the fact that it is a good few miles from the bars, shops, restaurants etc. is a bit of a pain. The hotel is also in 4 blocks and there is a slight gradient walking from the main reception, hotel dining, etc. to our room in the heat, which was in the 3rd block - a long way to lug your suitcase as no help was offered. The air conditioning in my room was not very strong (I just returned 9th Sept 2015).
Great that it is only about 25 minute drive from Paphos airport. We went half board and breakfast became very 'samey' and boring but I've experienced that in many hotels worldwide so no surprises there. Evening meals were nice enough however they did tend to 'hog' the water rather than just put a jug on our table we had to keep trying to get the staff attention to refill our glass - I can only assume they wanted us to order drinks instead.
Overall, a decent enough 3* hotel (in my opinion). I would recommend a room with a sea view, it's fantastic!

Furniture needs an upgrade

The pullout couch in the suite smelled old and the mattress was thin and stained. The hotel staff apologized for the condition of the room, hence the high rating for hotel service. Listening to the waves crashing on the coast helped me fall asleep.

Handy hotel near Tala.

I booked this hotel because it was inexpensive and close to my friends who live in Tala. I travelled on my own and only booked b&b basis. The hotel is in need of a makeover but it was fine for me. I just wanted somewhere to sleep and have breakfast. It's about 7 miles from the Paphos harbour (along the coastline, shorter by road) and about 3 miles by road to Coral bay. The staff were friendly and very polite. Breakfast didn't change all week much but was okay.

Slightly old-fashioned 3* hotel in lovely location

We booked a late break on a B&B basis at this hotel for a week at end September/beginning of October. We booked a superior seaview room and when we arrived the receptionist said they had put us in \"one of their best rooms\". This was 201, which was at the corner of the main building with a view in one direction over the swimming pool and a spectacular view in the other direction over the beach and bay. The room was light and spacious, if a little old-fashioned. It was always clean and perfectly comfortable except for very hard beds (twins made up as a double in our case - we requested this before arrival). The shower (over the bath) was good and there was always plenty of hot water. The room also had fridge, safe and tea and coffee-making facilities included. There was air-con but we didn't use it, preferring to leave the door to the narrow balcony partially open at night, although light sleepers might find the sound of the waves disturbing. Outside the swimming pool seemed to be very little used. Most people used the small man-made beach area alongside the sea-water pool. The beach bar is in a very pleasant spot right alongside the sea, but we felt this closed a bit early at 6pm when it would have been nice to have a cocktail. There is some form of entertainment each night but what we saw of this was dire! The whole hotel is well-maintained but could do with brightening up and bringing up to date. The vast majority of guests were Russian with only a few English.

Well run hotel with amazing location

Hotel is on a big site - so be prepared to do a fair amount of walking, including steps to get from your room to the main facilities and the beach area - unless you are lucky enough to be in a room close to reception/restaurant. We found the views (sea view room) both from our room and other parts of the hotel were amazing. The \"beach\" area is well supplied with sunbeds and there were plenty of sunbeds by the pool and on the lawned areas. The beach bar served good food at reasonable prices and drinks were very little more than local tavernas. There were 3 potential restuarants 2 of which were virtually next door and were very good - particularly Doria which others have mentioned. Breakfasts were very good, with the exception of limited fruit. We ate out in the evenings, and did hear from other people that the evening meals were a bit monotonous with the same meat and fish cooked different ways each night and tables very close together like a canteen.

Unexpectedly ok!

We holidayed in a villa in coral bay for a fortnight. However our departing flight was not till 9.30pm and we had to vacate the villa at 11am. This meant a long day in the heat without means of showering or resting. We decided to book a reasonably priced hotel for a night just so we could relax by the pool and have a shower n change before our flight. We didn't expect a lot given the price but although the hotel was not plush, it was just what the doctor ordered. The rooms were clean although in need of a bit of a upgrade, the pool area was pristine and there were beautiful views. If you were looking for a reasonably priced, comfortable holiday and not expecting luxury then the Cythiana is the ticket.

Great location and staff

Very clean room with Seaview. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Provided fruit and wine on birthday. Only negative would be fridge was not very cold and breakfast food was not a very good quality so we ate out. Stewart's Dinner is recommended as the best local breakfast around! Looks like a shack but well worth a visit.
All in all an excellent location with amazing views and gardens to relax in. Nice sea pool for snorkelling and two other swimming pools. Quiet at night time and room has aircon. Also they provide shampoo and shower gel throughout your stay. Would highly recommend.

Stunning views

We stayed in the Olympus Wing over looking the sea. The views were stunning from our balcony, from the breakfast area and from the pool bar. Staff were friendly but most of all helpful, breakfast was always good as we only stayed B& B. Rooms were clean, superior rooms were excellent and well worth having and came with a fridge. Buses good to Caral beach and Pathos town easy, frequent and cheap. There are 5 bar/restaurants between Hotel and main road (4 min) and 2 supermarkets all well within walking distance. Even though Hotel was full there were plenty of areas to sit. The grassed area, the pool bar, the man made beach area, sunbathe on the made made pier, swim in one of the two pools or off the two jittys into the open sea or the sheltered sea pool.The only two negatives we have are that you had to pay extra to have tea and coffee facilities even though you had paid for a superipor room. The other negative was that we were not informed by reception or by literature provided that passports would be needed on the Nicosea shopping trip. If we had taken our passports we could have crossed the green line. We would go again.

Great location but badly needs renovation.

Hotel has a great location but the service and staff are not up to 2 star standards, and absolutely everything costs extra, which is annoying considering that the hotel is not inexpensive. Badly needs to update to a modern standard. :>(

Good hotel for relaxation

This hotel really needs updating,the rooms were a bit shabby an stuck in the 80's furniture, We could not fault the cleanliness of it,it was really clean.The food was in a bundance NO complaints there.The thing you need the most is a car,as there is'nt much to do around the hotel area,As for the entertainment. Well what i we say?? Awfull,But it is only 5mins to Coral bay,and 10mns into papfos by car.Were brilliant nights out are to be had.The views are out standing from every point of the hotel. Dissapointing theres NO Tea facillities in room and NO fridge,and 5euros per day,we thought was to much when your staying there for a couple of weeks.It was very quite an peacefull,very relaxing but to be honest 7 to 10 days is really is anough,

The hotel is built at a very beautiful place, but you certainly need a car. Good value for money, but it needs renovation. Friendly staff.

rather too basic rooms

I stayed during an extremely hot and humid week, temperutures 37-40 degrees and it would have been impossible to manage without having a fridge brought to my room as none of them have them as standard. This cost 5 euros a day and I felt this should have been a minimum reqirement as standard. There were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room and the furnishings were old, scruffy and basic. The views, however, were incomparable.

Excellent hotel with private beach

Thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night/week stay here. After enjoying the hotel's private beach, pools and lagoon - we booked a car for 3 days to explore the island. Lots of great places to see with plenty to do in near-by Paphos (just a 5 minute journey). If you're wanting wireless internet - our advise is to pop up the road to Holly's Restaurant a 2 minute walk from the hotel where the internet is free and the food is great. We will be back!

\"As good as ever\"

Visited the Cynthiana Hotel in the nineties. Revisited it in October 2011 and found that it had grown slightly but was as good as it was 20 years ago. The hotel is on a rocky promentary and thefore cannot be encroached upon. The beach is generally quiet with plenty of beds and brollys. Access to the water is down steps which do tend to be slippey at the bottom. There is a sea water pool and also sea swimming. There is also a good size swimming pool. Food is buffet style and the quality and choice are good. Rooms are reasonably comfortable with all the usual facilities. Coffee in the room is expensive and it is worth taking ones own. With a sea view room the views are superb. Lie in bed and look at the sea!! The staff are friendly. There is a beach bar area which is well appointed alongside the sea and snacks served are good. The hotel is in a good location for visiting Paphos,Coral Bay and the Troodos. The motorway which runs from west to east makes travelling across the island easy. There is musical entertaimment every night - usually live musicians for those who want it.
Found it to be a very relaxing holiday indeed and with plenty to do if wanted.
There are two tavernas very nearby (open weekends in October) and two supermarkets within easy walking distance.
And if you like cats and kittens - there are a number around the hotel which are healthy and very friendly.
All in all an hotel which I would confidently recommend and which I will certainly visit again.
