Louis Phaethon Beach

So sad to be home again after a brilliant two weeks here as a family of two adults and four children aged 19, 17, 16 & 10 The food is beyond incredible, we ate so well every breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was my birthday when I was there and we had a table with a balloon, champagne and a little birthday cake. Ahmed was always looking after us and the bar staff at the pool bar were great too, always having our baileys ready for us!! :) would love to go back again, worth the long flight from Dublin!!

First visit to Cyprus and from what we saw of the island really impressed. This was a family holiday with intention of sun, fun and some relaxation. Not quite achieved unfortunately. Tired hotel and rooms really dated. Beds were appalling. Staff on whole fantastic, conscientious, polite and helpful. Food was ok. However, pool areas were ruined with loud music (eurovision / pop genres) and if you enjoy passive smoking this is the place for you ! Entertainment was very Butlins Skegness. Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend.

This was a family holiday involving three adults and two teenagers. Pros - reception and bar staff were friendly and helpful. Negatives - Loud music next to pool throughout the day (Tom & Jerry on repeat approx 10 times). Smoking throughout pool and outside bar area - unable to escape the overwhelming smell of smoke (unpleasant) particularly as a cancer survivor! Rooms - tired cheap refit - electrics feel unsafe - stick a metal key into old wall socket to activate lights and air conditioning. Towels frayed. Old bath had the sticky stickers on the bottom which had clearly been there many years. Communal corridors never hoovered in over a week very tired did not reflect the glossy pictures. Misleading presentation of hotel. Overall this felt as if I was in a poor 80’s Butlins style holiday camp - give it a miss. TUI you need to change your photos and your ratings!

Absolutely amazing family oriented hotel! All the staff were amazing and that’s what made it special! Special thanks to Ahmed in restaurant for looking after us

Here’s a polished review you could post: This was my first time staying at Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel in Cyprus, and I can honestly say it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt incredibly welcome, and the atmosphere throughout the hotel was fantastic. A special mention has to go to the entertainment team, who are absolutely exceptional. They work tirelessly to make sure everyone is having a great time and always go out of their way to make you feel welcome, included, and valued throughout your stay. Their energy, enthusiasm, and friendliness really make all the difference. I also want to give a huge shout-out to the entertainment manager, Jamie, who is doing a truly sublime job leading the team. His passion, professionalism, and dedication shine through, and it’s clear he has created an amazing team that genuinely cares about the guests’ experience. I would 100% recommend Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming, and unforgettable holiday. This definitely won’t be my last visit, I will absolutely be coming back!

Absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish. We travelled as a family of 3 with our 9 year old girl. Hotel is fantastic, clean and tidy, 2 main pools and the slides were a great size and lots of fun. A special mention to all of the lifeguards and in particular a massive shout out to Karim! He is an absolute credit to this hotel, such a lovely guy & made our little girls (and our) holiday when around the pool. Whatever you do, please keep hold of Karim!! The food - You can not go hungry in this hotel. If the main restaurant isn't open the snack bar is open from 10-5 with all sorts, and then the Chinese food area from 12:30 until 2:30, plus ice cream all day and the pancake or waffles (including the song) out at 4pm. The hotel staff - All of the staff couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived at 11pm and still managed to get some food. Welcomed by Roman on the main reception, then Ahmed asked us if we were hungry and took us to the restaurant for some food. Ahmed then welcomed us at every meal time and made sure we were having a good day, anything he could do for us and took us to a table. Ahmed is a major asset to the hotel & restaurant. Animation Team - Absolutely fantastic! Don't know where they get the energy from, Archery, Football, Quizzes, Singing, Dancing & a great bunch of people. Even on their breaktime they would come around and chat with us and our little girl, very special people. They put on some great shows on the evening, and Hannah is an absolutely fantastic singer! We have previously been to Paphos 4 times, this being our first time at this hotel & we already plan to return next year!!!

Our stay at the Louis Phaethon Hotel was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, and by the end of our holiday, it genuinely felt like we were leaving friends behind. The biggest part of what made our holiday so special was Jamie and his amazing entertainment team. Their enthusiasm, kindness, and ability to get everyone involved is incredible. Whether it was the daytime activities or the evening shows, they made every single day memorable. Jamie always had time to stop for a chat, make everyone laugh, and make guests feel included, and that personal touch meant so much to us. A huge highlight was Jamie's White Night. What an unforgettable evening! The atmosphere was absolutely incredible, with amazing music, fantastic entertainment, and everyone coming together to have the best time. You could see how much hard work Jamie and the team put into making it such a special event, and it was without a doubt one of the highlights of our holiday. Thank you, Jamie and the whole entertainment team, for making us smile every day and for creating memories we'll never forget. You are a huge credit to the Louis Phaethon Hotel. We can't wait to return and see you all again—it already feels like we're counting down the days until we're back!

Hi, my name is Laura from Glasgow and i visited the Louis Phaethon for 2 weeks in June 26 with my boyfriend David. We had an absolutely amazing stay!! The rooms were clean and well maintained, the pool areas were excellent, the entertainment was great, and we absolutely loved the quality and variety of the food on offer every day. But the thing that stood out to us about this hotel was the amazing staff. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time ever. Everyone was so so friendly, and they really make the hotel what it is. An example was when Ahmed from the hotel had heard that it was my birthday, he went out if his way to organise a special table for me in the restaurant with a ballon, bottle of champagne, and a cake for after our meal. It really made my day extra special. All of the bar staff are also fantastic. Id like to mention Hanny & Samuel who were amazing with us. So attentive, friendly, and funny. Always up for a genuine chat and a laugh. The staff at the phaethon really do make it special. We feel like we’ve left having made new friends. We will definitely be back!!

This was our first time to Cyprus. We decided at the last minute to give Cyprus and Paphos a try. I searched a couple of weeks beforehand for hotels around the Paphos area, and with this trip being a special occasion, decided on Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel. The reviews on both Google and Trip advisor sounded great, so we had to see for ourselves if this hotel lives up to the 4.6 / 5.0 star rating. Firstly, me and my wife can't thank Paraskeva (General Manager) enough! I emailed ahead and checked if I could make any special requests, as it was our anniversary. You don't always get a response from the general inquiries email addresses, however, I was delighted to hear back and have a special surprise organised for my wife on the evening of our anniversary. We checked in late in the morning and was tired from the days travelling. We went to check in, and was directed to the restaurant to complete the check-in forms, there was food and drinks available, which was great! We returned to reception, and the concierge took me to one side and mentioned to me that my request was in the book and what time would we be having dinner on the Wednesday? (Our Anniversary) This was is a really nice touch to welcoming us to the hotel and asking us if we had any special requests, such as birthdays, anniversaries ect. The food is amazing, plenty of choice for all, you just need to judge the timings right to avoid busy periods! The rooms are as you would imagine for what you need, aircon, fridge, TV, free WiFi throughout, hairdryer could be upgraded. Our bed was too soft, but that is a personal preference. Room cleaned and bed made everyday with fresh towels, Bottles of water replenished everyday. There is a couple of areas around the hotel that need a handy man just to fix up. Updating the doors would be my first thing I'd change, can be noisy with slamming of doors, which are locked by a physical key upgrade to a card system, new doors and closers. The LED lighting is bright in the corridors, however, this stays on all night, change it to PIR sensor lighting, you would save thousands of euros a year on electricity. The Spa and Gym offers a steam room, Sauna, medium sized jacuzzi, and large indoor pool 'all for free', which is really surprising and was an amazing choice if you wanted to relax inside and have a swim. Last but no means least, the hotel staff are very friendly, helpful, welcoming and they are here for you, not just to do a job. Without all these amazing people that work here, there would definitely be lower reviews. Me and my wife would like to personally thank Ahmed and Olympia. Ahmed made me feel like this was my second home, from the first day I spoke to Ahmed he remembered my name, eveytime I saw him he would great me like a member of his team or even his family, this is more than hospitality and customer service, this made me and my wife feel so special. On our anniversary at dinner, we had a table reserved with a bottle of champagne on ice, my wife was so surprised, we even had a letter with a very warm message inside! Our drinks were poured for us and as it was my wife's birthday on the 29th they also brought a birthday cake with candle and asked everyone to join in and give a cheers to us both. I never expected this at all, Ahmed made this our special day! Olympia works in the bar area, she is an absolute asset to the hotel bar staff. She made us feel like family and very important. All the staff wait on you in the bar area, however, Olympia always had the biggest smile and was never to busy to speak to us. We will miss this hotel and all the staff, it has made us happy and feel at home, we hope to be back soon to see everyone again. Cyprus is so calm and slow paced, we are really looking forward to visiting this beautiful place again. I would certainly move here tomorrow if I could. Thank you Paraskeva, Ahmed, Olympia and all at Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel.

We have just returned from another fantastic stay at the Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel, and once again it exceeded all of our expectations. As returning guests, it was wonderful to be recognised by the staff, who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. It truly feels like a second home. During our stay, my wife experienced a medical issue, and I cannot thank Rudi and George, the Head Lifeguard, enough for their outstanding care and kindness. They went above and beyond, and Rudi regularly checked in on us throughout the rest of our holiday to make sure everything was okay. Their genuine compassion meant so much to our family. A special mention also goes to Ahmed in the restaurant, who went out of his way on our arrival to arrange a special birthday meal for our daughter. His thoughtfulness made her day extra special. The staff are what make this hotel so exceptional. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure every guest has a memorable stay. Thank you to everyone at Louis Phaethon Beach for another amazing holiday. We can’t wait to see you all again next year!

Amazing hotel first time stay and after talking to a few other people I understand why they return. The staff are the best Rudi and the team should be proud of every single staff member. A few to mention that stood out for us. Mohammed in the restaurant was amazing at table serve. Hassan on the bar making sure you never had an empty drink. Romany on reception with an easy check in process. But the biggest thing for us was the entertainment team. Jamie Kieran Grace and Rhiannon made our holiday that little more special and the shows and activities are a true asset to this hotel. Jamie and his team made the overall good stay even better

We have just returned from our lovely family holiday at the phaethon, we had such a lovely time all the staff are really friendly especially Ahmed he really does go above and beyond for everyone! The hotel is perfect for family's, there is something for everyone. The food was excellent probably one of the best all inclusive we've been to.

Amazing hotel with amazing staff. Michael is wonderful, Ahmed in the resturaunt is lovely and all of the lifeguards expecially Kareem are wonderful and so friendly. Would recomend for couples, friends or faimly.

This hotel is amazing, this was our 10th visit. On arrival we were greeted by staff by name. The staff can not do enough for you. I would like to give a special shout out to Ahmed Amer as he could not do enough to make are stay any better. Anyone going to Paphos HAS to stay here. This hotel caters for all ages, the entertainment staff work so hard and produce amazing shows in chariots.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The highlight was definitely Jamie’s entertainment team—they were fantastic at keeping everyone engaged and having fun throughout the day. Rhiannon stood out as especially wonderful, always friendly, professional, and full of energy. She made the experience even more enjoyable with her warm and welcoming attitude. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for great entertainment and top-notch service.

We had a wonderful stay at the Phaethon Beach and would happily return. The hotel is very clean, the food offers plenty of choice, and the staff work incredibly hard to make guests feel welcome and looked after. One of the highlights of our holiday was the entertainment team. They brought so much energy each day and evening, with activities for both adults and children. A special mention goes to Jamie, the Entertainment Manager, who does an amazing job keeping everyone involved and creating such a good atmosphere. Overall, Louis Phaethon Beach is a fantastic family-friendly hotel with great facilities, lovely staff, and an entertainment programme that really adds something special to the experience. Thank you to everyone for helping make our holiday so enjoyable!

Had the most amazing weeks holiday (again) at the Louis Phaethon Hotel in Cyprus 🤩 We were greeting with warm smiles from the hotel reception team and management when we arrived who were so accommodating. Room has plenty of wardrobe and storage options which is cleaned to perfection everyday by the lovely cleaning ladies. 3 pools to choose from/sit by with an option of a quieter pool down the far end by the water slides - which we enjoyed very much and such a good laugh! The main pool is full of activities and music lead by the entertainment team who constantly brighter up your holiday with there positive energy and activities for you to do. We particularly enjoyed the quizzes which we walked away with a victorious 6 bottles of bubbly 🍾 We have never been to a hotel where the staff can’t do enough for you. Ahmed really is a Tripadvisor sensation and for a good reason, greeting us every night for dinner and bringing our exact drink order! Waiter, Samuel welcomed us each evening on the terrace with a warm smile and constantly checking if we need any assistant. Food of a really high standard with plenty of choice and beautifully presented. The Chinese at launch is a favourite and the 4pm waffles/pancake and chocolate cake was a welcomed treat each day. Special stand out night for us was the white night party on Sunday evenings. We throughly enjoyed this with live entertainment, games and dancing 🤍 We would like to do a special shoutout to Kieran from the entertainment team who was just amazing! ✨ An excellent performer and he made the effort to come and spend time with us and involve us in daily activities. Also Rhiannon Dance Caption - who is just born to be on stage and has the kindest heart! Big thank you for your hospitality, aqua gym and stretch sessions! The standard in this hotel is extremely high and it’s all down to the fantastic staff! Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of a holiday this summer and planning on return once again. A big thank you Phaethon 💛

The strip of hotels to the south of Pathos are along Poseidon Avenue with the Louis Phaethon Hotel is situated at the end in extensive grounds on its own.  The hotel is basically a large U shape. Because there are no hotels surrounding it, all the rooms have a pleasant outlook. Most of the rooms are Seaview and we were allocated room 1113 which was at the end of one arm of the U which had a pleasant Seaview through some palms. It was a pleasant 50-minute 2 mile walk along a path in front of the hotels to the start of Paphos harbour. Buses ran (2 euros) about every 10 minutes to Paphos harbour and Tomb of the Nobles. The hotel is primarily geared towards families with large swimming pools, splash pools and a water park. We were a couple but really enjoyed the water park. There were several bars including a pool bar next to the sea. The pool bar restaurant served fast food lunches and snacks on an afternoon. There were steps and a path to the sea but it was too shallow for swimming. Obviously for safety issues, drinks were served in plastic glasses near the pool areas. However, cold bottles of the local Keo beer were available from the main reception bar which was much better than the draught Keo elsewhere. The dining room was very spacious and had 3 separate raised outside eating areas with a view. The food in the restaurant was to a high standard with a good variety and lots of flavour. There were themed nights but still with alternative food options.

​This is such a lovely hotel, and everything about it is absolutely top-tier—from the spotless cleanliness to the incredible staff and world-class food. ​This was my 2nd visit and it certainly won't be my last; in fact, I’m already looking to book another stay for later this month! If you are looking for a flawless, stress-free getaway where you are treated like royalty, this is exactly where you need to be. ​As stated above, the food is simply amazing. You will definitely not go hungry here! The hotel caters perfectly to all dietary preferences with an incredible variety of fresh, flavorful options. I have a massive sweet tooth myself, and the dessert selection was so irresistible I’m sure I’ve put on a few pounds! 😀 ​The staff really elevate this hotel from great to truly exceptional. A massive shout-out to Ahmed in the restaurant—he is incredibly polite, attentive, and possesses a rare hospitality charm. How he remembers everyone's name is mind-blowing. He always welcomed me warmly and genuinely cared about making my dining experience perfect. He is an absolute credit and a massive asset to the hotel. ​From the luxury amenities to the immaculate rooms and stellar service, this place amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had an amazing holiday. The food was excellent, service was excellent and Jamie the entertainment manager went above and beyond to make our holiday extra special. We will deffo be back even if it’s just to have a laugh with Jamie again. Thank you sooooo much. Xxxxxx
