The beds were hard, pillows were hard, we were given soiled towels all three days and a few of the towels had big holes in them. The room was cleaned daily but not thoroughly, you notice this by the stains in the bathroom shower. It was disgusting. The breakfast was okay but you can tell the deli meat is moldy. Skip this one.

I was really disappointed with my room ( the "luxury"suite) which unfortunately was nothing like the photos on Expedia. Other than that the hotel was nice, staff were very friendly and hardworking with nothing too much trouble. The meals whilst not overly exciting were hot and tasty.

A great hotel in a very good position close to the harbour. But what makes this hotel is the dedication that the staff show towards the guests. A very homely welcoming hotel with a very wide choice of food, that is very well presented. We stayed half board and were very happy. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfy. We would come back.

I would not say this is 4 star hotel. It's more like a 3 star. Generally all staff are polite and very attentive. However, you get a few that are very rude and not willing to help or guide you in the right direction. I wanted to ask for glasses from the bar and I approach a Avlida Hotel staff member who very very rudely said "Its not my job to talk to you" There was absolutely no need for such a rude comment. At least guide me in the right direction and I'll speak to another member of staff for what I needed. Manner less man. Hotel is very clean, great drink options and great entertainment. Especially, the fire show, it's a must watch. For a 6 night stay it was decent enough and at a reasonable price.

Disappointed
Unfortunatly. Full of little disappointments. The rooms are tired and dated, stuck in the 80s and need a full refubishment. Bed sheets never fitted the bed. Room not clean when we arrived, shower had sand on the floor. Tea and coffee never replenished, had to buy our own. Balcony door always left open after asking reception to ask cleaners not to 3 times. Used cups not repleaced and dirty glasses not changed. 3 drawer chest only had one draw. Nothing done after asking for it to be sorted 3 times. Hotel entertainment was terrible, with poor acts, bingo and karioke. (this is a personal view as I am sure some people liked it). On the plus side. The hotel is situated in a convenient place to get into paphos, and walking distance to Venus Beach. The staff were friendly and polite. Just a pity with the lack of investment in the building.. wont be going there again.

Bed was comfortable with good aircon and good cleaning. Nice lounge area. Hotel needs a refurb. Lots of rules and signs from the management. Food variable so we ate out instead of taking evening meals. A lot of noise from other guests at night passing the room - big gaps round the door. Not 4 star by UK standard

Not a 4-star hotel
This must have been listed as a 2 or 3-star hotel. The hotel is quite outdated and not exactly clean. Walls and doors are paper thin, so you always know what's happening on the floor. Some device in the corridor (fire alarm?) goes off and keeps beeping at any random time of the day and night. Food is not great but ok. Swimming pools and the area around them are pretty cool though, including child care corner. Parking right in front is a plus.

Lovely hotel, staff are super friendly !! We made fast friends with all the staff especially mavros and George the bar managers who are amazing at their job and very funny! And cosmin the hotel entertainer who was great fun ! The restaurant chefs were very helpful and made amazing food the kleftiko was amazing! Rooms were cleaned daily ! Pool was clean and warm! Sun loungers were basic but good ! Hotel is close to bars and the beach! You can get a bus for 1.50 to coral bay or the harbour!

Complaint
It wasnt value for money. The pictures on website are misleading. The hotel is very primitive. The corridoors arent vibrant enough, just feels depressing. The doors arent really up to security standards as other hotels i went to use key fobs while we use keys. The mechanism is easy to infiltrate as locks can be easily picked. Ive seen a few mice running around the second floor stairway at night!!!. The food was awful. The chicken was over cooked and the menu was very limited. The staff except charis, patience and Andreas wasnt very friendly. A few of the bar tenders are polite but remaining staff arent. The entertainer had an understudy for the aqua aerobics who wasnt even qualified who he left on her own to take the class which is highly risky and unprofessional. The manager of the hotel doesnt know how to speak to his staff properly which is highly unprofessional. I wouldnt recommend anyone stay at this hotel. If im honest i would like a partial refund as paying 588gbp for my stay was definitely not worth it. A few people i met at the resort paid near the same price as i did and got all inclusive and i was half board. Seriously disappointed with this experience.

Dear Reviewer,It is incredibly sad to see that you were unhappy with your stay. And it's also a shame you never approached management to address any of your concerns. The only thing we noticed that makes you write all these untrue complaints is your objection regarding people you met that pay the same price as your with an AI package while you are on HB. Kindly note that these people you met made their holiday package and booking from different companies/tour operators, hence, it is impossible for all guests to have the same price, some have package discounts, vouchers, etc, different from yours. Logically, you shouldn’t compare your holiday price to others. This is the sole reason for your complaint. Our hotel is number 4 out of 74 hotels in Paphos in terms of “Value for Money”. We disagree with your opinions. And regarding the mentioned doors, our doors are perfectly okay with fire safety regulations and they are impossible to open from outside without a key.It is strange to read about you not being happy with our food. Our menu with 8 main meals during lunches, as well as during dinner are more than acceptable to more than 95% of our guests and this is, of course, the reason that we have so many repeaters and shining reviews all across social media.As for the rest of your comment, we won't waste our time replying to it, because it's nothing but a made-up story. The only reason that led you to such a false write-up is because other guests that paid the same price as yours got something more than you. Well, we don’t really know how true this might be, because the majority of your story is deceitful.Finally, it's clear that your made-up story purpose is to be compensated. Your complaints have no ground at all, nothing but lies.

Overall, a nice stay. The hotel needs a bit of TLC, and some of the staff weren't particularly helpful, bordering on rude. The breakfast was alright, with hot and cold options available but a bit of variety would have been nice, as apart from the alternating pancake/egg station, all of the breakfast items were the same each day. Special mention to Patience, who was helpful and friendly. The hotel is close to restaurants and bars, and is only 10 mins drive from the harbour and 15 from Coral Bay.

Dear Reviewer, It is incredibly sad to see that you were unhappy with your stay. It is a shame you never approached management to address your concerns. It is summer season. Many families are coming over for vacation and since it is a resort type hotel, it is only natural that people spend a lot of time inside the hotel. We are sorry that you felt it was too noisy. We only hope that next time you face issues in a hotel, instead of enduring the faults, you will take action and approach management to discuss how your stay can be improved.

This hotel really is not a 4 star. The food was very repetitive, every day the same salads and puddings. The snacks were disappointing - on the list there were supposed to be choices of sandwiches, two of those mentioned were never available and lots of the hot food was overcooked to the point that any meat was dry and tough. The daily activities were repetitive and the evening entertainment was bad, three out of six nights were singers, two of which couldn't sing. The website states the hotel provides slippers and bathrobes giving a smart impression, when I asked for them as they weren't in the room I was told they don't have them. When I asked a different member of reception I was told they only give them to guests in suites. I pointed out the website does not state that and that they are deceiving their guests. Receptionist agreed and said website would be updated. For the record it hasn't been... The rooms appear to have no soundproofing, you can hear voices through interjoining doors and vents in the bathroom. The supervisors were very hard on the staff who were all working so hard. It is not a happy place to work, that is clear. George the barman and Louis on reception are lovely. The rooms were ok but had very outdated furniture and the air conditioning didnt work. I'd give this hotel a 3* just but no more.

Dear Julian, We always take our guests' feedback very seriously and we always try to make improvements to our service. At the same time, we would like to address some of the points you make in your comments, if you let us. We have weekly menus visible outside our restaurants and if you were not entirely happy with our food options, you should have spoken with our chef and I am certain that he would be able to prepare meals to your liking. We are sorry that you didn’t enjoy our entertainment. Our weekly schedule is present and it is different everyday, nevertheless, our entertainment manager is at the pool area every day and I am sure that if you had approached him, he would have found a way to keep you entertained during the day. It is unfortunate that the information you received upon booking was incorrect. Please believe us that it was not intentional and we have since corrected the issue with the help of our partners. If your neighbours were disturbing you during night time, you should have informed our night receptionist and he would have made sure they respect the other guests. It is a shame your impression of the supervisors was left bitter, although I would like to point out that we have staff that work in the hotel for many years and are very happy with their employer. We are glad that there were employees who made sure to make your experience pleasant and if you had issues with the A/C, you should have reported it. In the time of your stay our central system was still on Heat and maybe that is why you were left with the understanding that the A/C doesn’t work. Overall we hope that you have left the hotel with happy memories and we wish you all the best in your future travels.

Although this hotel was recently renovated it remains really rather dated. Lovely big rooms though and comfortable beds with clean sheets and lovely pillows. Had some great sleeps there. The rooms are clean but not spotless. I had stains in the loo and dusty floors with hair. I stepped on a big ant and it remained in the same place on the floor for 2 days. The best thing about this hotel is the staff who are really lovely and sorted out any issues we had with our rooms immediately. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful and the breakfast staff were excellent in particular Adrian who was brilliant organising us fresh milk daily ( they only serve UHT with everything ). He is a real asset to the hotel!
