Paphos Gardens Holiday Resort (Apts)

Please do not be disheartened by the negative reviews on this site, for this hotel. It is fantastic. We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist at a very late hour and he made sure that we were fed and hydrated despite the arrival time. Our room was basic but spotlessly clean and had everything that you require for a comfortable stay. The grounds are beautiful and well tended, the two pools are big and there are plenty of sunbeds to go around (there were twelve of us in our party and not once were we fighting for space or sunbeds around the pool). Maria at the pool bar is forever smiling and chatty and she is a credit to the hotel. The food is what you would expect for an all-inclusive but it was plentiful and the choice was extensive - breakfast is very good and there is plenty of table seating. There is a different themed menu every night and there was always something delicious to choose from. The drinks are also very good. So the hotel gets no complaints from me. The location is also very good - there are a lot of restaurants within 5 minute walking distance, I particularly recommend the Namaste Indian restaurant, we ate there twice. Fifteen minutes then into the harbour where there are all the restaurants, shops, bars and street performers that you can shake a stick at, and the atmosphere down there in the evening is fantastic. We particularly enjoyed Steve's bar (excellent cocktails) and Theo's restaurant where we had a spectacular meal - the fish and steaks in particular were excellent. Would recommend a boat trip day out - we booked directly with "Venus" - The captain was a hoot and made sure we had the best day. So all in all a 10/10 experience for me, if I were to have one niggle it is that the beaches were a bit patchy, small and rocky - but we got two buses to Coral bay (took about 30 minutes - the bus network puts the UK to shame) which was beautiful, 10 euros for two sunbeds and a parasol for as long as you want it. Thank you, Paphos Gardens, for looking after us and giving us the perfect holiday.

It just gets better and better every time we go back to Paphos Gardens and as we get to know the staff and managers (Yanis Michael and Costas in particular) who are so welcoming and cant do enough for you whether it is the waiting staff or the pool and bar staff or the animations team Laura and Resvan. We had a great 10 days at Paphos gardens in a lovely well equiped appartment in May/June 26 that when we got home to the UK we wanted to go back so much that we booked again to go 3 weeks later for another 14 days. We asked for the same 1 bed appartment and we got an even better located appartment near the smaller pool. Apart from the wonderful staff what else is great about Paphos Gardens. The facilities in the appartment are excellent. All the equipment you need in the kitchen if you want to cook a meal or just make toast, from a great fridge freezer and cooker to a microwave kettle and toaster. What we know from experience is that any appliance that may be faulty or broken is replaced immediately. The bedroom has really comfy beds, side tables and lamps and plenty of hanging space. You pay for the safe if you want it. The lounge has a basic TV on top of a chest of drawers Several channels a table and 4 chairs with cushions and a sofa bed. Some people take a UK firestick. The WiFi is free and available in the appartments. It was fantastic in our first appartment but only OK in our second one as it didnt work in the bedroom. The first had a router in the appartment the second didnt but it wasnt a big issue for us. The air conditioning we had in both appartments was truly spectacular and so good that we often had to turn it off for periods. A couple of years ago we had a faulty one and they even replaced that with a new one during our stay. Both rooms had a terrace with 4 basic chairs and a table but great for an eveing drink or for drying towels etc. The bathroom has a bath with shower which for us was great as we have a bit of arthritis and like a soak. We dont like the wet rooms you get in a lot of hotels these days. We went self catering this time but there is an option to upgrade to half board or AI or just pay for a drinks package or a meal. All at great prices. The food is good and ranges from salads and traditional cypriot starters or soup through a choice of about 4 main dishes, and also pizza, fresh pasta, and fresh cooked veg and say chicken or pork and a hot roast of the day. Sweets of cake, greek dishes or ice cream. The pools are great and their are plenty of sunbeds to go round normally. On the odd occasion people did struggle between about 11am and 3pm if they came late. Best to take your own towels as pool towels are not provided. During the day we had 2 really good staff doing the usual excercise, aqua aerobic classes and boule darts table tennis etc. Evening entertainment was basic but fine, often singing, cypriot dancers, with a game of bingo or Kareoke thrown in. Of note is the british people in particular who go are really friendly and chatty at all times. Over the years since we were married in Paphos 10 years ago we have been to about 5 different hotels all ranging from 3 to 5 star but Paphos Gardens has become our go to hotel now. Yes it is in areas it is a bit basic and dated with no frills but it is very very clean very spacious all throu out the place and in the appartments and they are equipped with everyting you need. There is even a laundry room with washing drying and ironing facilities and a small shop nearby which is pretty random in its appearence and stock but has most things you will need if you are self catering. There are 4 top 40 Trip advisor restaurants within 5 minutes walk. The beach is less than 10 minutes away. There is a nearby bus stop, chemist, laundry, bars and cafes. Its about 20-30 min walk to the Harbour depending on your speed and its pretty flat in the main. So as I said its is our go to place now and we love it, we are both in our 60s.

Good location not many hills. Lots of coffee shops nearby. Close to the harbour. Room spacious and comfortable with a couple of tv channels. Staff some not the friendliest . Food was moderate. Gym good but often ran out of water. Easy to get a bus, stop very close. Plenty of sun beds. Reasonably priced and would stay there again.

Stayed here for ten days , food was as expected for an all inclusive, room with ac was brilliant and Maria at the pool bar is very welcoming

The hotel ticks all the boxes, food is very good (what you would expect from any all inclusive). Location is great, about a 30min walk down to the harbour where there are shops, bars & restaurants. Steve’s at the harbour does a fantastic frozen strawberry daiquiri & the staff are so friendly. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment looking out to the pool & the air con is brilliant! Clean sheets & towels everyday. A big shout out to Maria at the pool bar, she is excellent, friendly & very accomodating, we missed her on her day off!!! All in all, I would def recommend this hotel for value of money & would return

Very good experience at the pathos gardens, we went in June with friends, food choices and drinks selection good, accommodation whilst tired was very clean and comfortable, our room maid was really lovely and very friendly. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and always helpful and smiling-no problem with using the facilities all day on our last day, and able to keep the room until 12pm at no extra charge, which was a definite plus. Life guard was friendly and always helpful with finding us beds etc. absolutely loved the cats and kittens around the complex especially those who joined us on the sun beds they were very obviously well cared for by the hotel staff. Location was good with a few bars and shops nearby and the harbour about a 20 minutes walk away. Would return to this hotel.

Had a lovely weeks stay. Was a bit vary of going as some of the reviews were bad. But my apartment was lovely and clean. Yes some parts might need updating a bit. Food was very good plenty of choice. Entertainment every night. Short walk from beach front. Really enjoyed and hope to go back again.

We are here now and we are loving this Hotel.Our room is in the main building and we have a pool view .The room has everything you need when we arrived ( was about 1am)we got a sandwich and a bottle water and in the room was a bottle of wine, fruit and box sweets,a lovely touch .The beds are made daily and fresh towels every 2 days.The main pool is a great size plenty sunbeds and a lifeguard every day . There's a kids pool and another pool across the road which we havnt used The food is by far the best I've had all inclusive, and the drinks are all good too great measures😆😆plenty choice and very well presented.The staff are all so friendly and can't do enough for you.Theres entertainment on a night singers n dancers ... we hired the bikes from the hotel €10 for the whole day . Walking distance from harbour a lovely walk on the seafront the beaches are the best I've been on and there's plenty .. would I stay again ?? 100%.. would definitely recommend..

This hotel is lovely. Varied food with a menu list posted outside restaurant every day. You can choose whether to eat outside by the pool or in the restaurant itself. We managed to find tables easily despite it being June. Sun loungers were also available. The room was basic but no complaints. We were fortunate to overlook the pool. No noise from restaurant or pool. This is not a loud hotel and is suited to families and older people. Entertainment every night plus bingo. The entertainer was great and was also available during the day for aqua aerobics etc. Beach is a bit of a walk but the roads are good. Special thanks to all the staff who will go above and beyond to help. We wanted to speak to the manager and praise his staff in person but unfortunately our coach to travel home arrived early so didn’t get a chance. This is an exceptional hotel with a personal touch. Staff greet you like friends. English is widely spoken as I’d imagine other languages are too. If you want a smaller hotel that focuses on clients then you won’t go far wrong with Paphos Gardens.

First time at this hotel . Situated in back street approx 5 -10 minutes walk to main promenade. We had booked a one bed apartment but were given 105 which was a large apartment with one large double room and a second room with 2 single beds. Kitchen with microwave , cooker , fridge and washing machine . Air conditioning in living room and bedroom . Hotel staff very friendly , we had all inclusive option so breakfast lunch and dinner with drinks included. Meals were varied and delicious with different themes each night . Tables situated either inside or by pool . 2 pools . Plenty of sunbeds although there were the usual people who leave towels but no where to be seen . Lovely staff at meal time , cleared food away and very attentive. Smaller pool with bar outside main hotel , very clean , lovely staff especially Maria at pool bar . Entertainment in main hotel every night .and daytime activities . Throughly enjoyed weeks holiday and would definitely return .

Just returned from a fantastic week AI. A group of 6 ladies staying in the main Hotel on the second floor overlooking the pool area. Rooms were very comfortable, clean and spacious with everything we needed. Ok so the air con could do with an upgrade but not a show stopper. Food was great with plenty of choice and no complaints from us, and the great staff always had our table for 6 sorted at meal times, thank you. Ice cream in the afternoon which was a bonus. Cocktails flowed nicely with about 8 to choose from. Pool area lovely and clean, pool itself is great. No issue with sun beds, and they are wiped down every morning. Well behaved cats around the pool sleeping in the shade. We made the most of the entertainment and throughly enjoyed what was provided. It’s about a 15 min walk to the harbour which is well worth it. Meal at The Kings restaurant which we would throughly recommend. The staff are all great very friendly and helpful. Big shout to all the bar staff, waiters and waitresses they really go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Always there a laugh and a bit of banter. Not sure why so many negative reviews this a 3 star with a lot to offer. Thank you Paphos Gardens this was a great holiday.

We booked a late 7 night stay at Paphos gardens and are here now. Check in was effortless. This complex comprises of apartments some that are owner occupied in as it states beautiful gardens. It has two pools that are warmed by the sun and in June they were delightful. There are some activities but it is not loud and in your face. There is a bar for each pool serving drinks all day. The main hotel area has the restraunt which offeres rhe all inclusive option and there are many upgrade offers. There were fresh meats, fish and vegetarian options all which were hot ans lovely. We were in Narcissus block. The room is comfortable, it is very clean, beds and towels changed daily, there is a small kitchenette with tea and coffee facilities a full size fridge all which are very clean. There is a balcony with table and chairs. A complimentary bottle of water, fruit and sweets were provided. The staff are lovely and very attentive, we met some lovely people from lots of different places. There is a small supermarket just yards from the reception. You can walk to Paphos old town and harbour easily. I don't say this lightly but i would recomed this resort, thank you Paphos gardens.

We had a lovely stay at Pathos Gardens! Although dated, the hotel is really nice with an excellent pool area and plenty of sun beds! Staff very friendly! Life guard at the pool was very friendly and always observing and ensuring everyone’s safety! He also takes care of all the cats which is really nice! Few reasons why this holiday did not score a 5: Entertainment - great guy running it but it’s all very limited and not a great deal going on! Seemed to be on his own, could possibly do with more support! Bingo - not worth participating! I won a full house and the prize did not reflect the takings! The hotel is taking a huge cut of the bingo revenue and that’s not right! We have all paid for the hotel, the guests should be receiving the takings from the bingo! It’s not worth gambling 5 euros as the prize is totally unfair! Hairdryer - complained 6 times that hair dryer kept cutting out after 2 minutes! They kept sending maintenance but it was never resolved! It was very old and needs replacing but I got bored repeating myself in the end! Apart from the few points above I would recommend this hotel!
