We travelled with Jet2Holidays. Our flight had been slightly delayed but we managed to get to the hotel before the AI midnight cut off at around 11.40pm, so we were quick to check in at reception but there was no champagne on arrival or help with luggage, one member of staff behind the desk and a waiter to help with the wristband allocation. We head to the bar for refreshments and finally begin to relax, but the barman was keen to point out the midnight cut-off stating drinks are charged thereafter. Our rooms were side by side (not adjoining), side facing sea view which we had booked in the UK. Rooms were OK, huge bed and very comfortable, robes and slippers for use in the room only! Hairdryer in the drawer, plenty of storage, hanging space for approx 10 items and a safe (but we never used it). Towel changes daily and soaps, etc, replenished regularly. First day and we headed down for breakfast, which opens at 7am. You need a towel card to get towels that you're given at check-in along with your room cards (we got 2 per room). Our first day at the beach was a hot one, so we quickly decided that the pool was a better option for us, as getting a drink and cooling off was easier than navigating the rocky beach. If you prefer the sea, I'd recommend sea shoes. Sunbeds are extremely comfortable, some of the best we've experienced. Food was OK, choices average, main restaurant is buffet style with around 3-4 meat options, rice, pasta, potatoes, salad bar, fruit and desserts. 1 soup flavour and bread selection. There are 4 a la carte restaurants which can be booked 1 visit, per weeks stay, the Greek was 2 per weeks stay but we didn't really enjoy it, as we preferred to choose our dishes and here, they bring a selection of everything on the menu. The Italian, Asian and Route 66 were good and portion sizes very generous. Evening entertainment is a little limited, singers in the main bar (next to reception) plus a few shows on the weekly programme and Karaoke once a week but we found it a little too quiet so headed out a few times to a local bar. There is a bus stop on the top road which runs either to Coral Bay or Paphos Harbour, €1.50 per person, per ride. It's roughly a 10-minute walk uphill. We didn't book any excursions or taxis, but from talking to others reception, we're helpful when needing to book taxis. All in all, a nice holiday and great for us to visit an adults only resort now our family is grown up, but we did miss good evening entertainment so doubt we'd visit again in the future.
