Kefalonitis Hotel Apts.

We had a lovely two week break at the kefalonitis room was spotless cleaners came in everyday except sunday and nothing was to much trouble for them.The only trouble we really had was ants but went to reception and they came and sprayed the room and ants no more..Staff are very friendly.We have stayed in several 4 and 5 star hotels in paphos which have been lovely hotels but found the staff in them to be quite rude and very unhelpful.That is why we are going again to kefalonitis August 08 with all my family and young grandson to a lovely apartment with lovely staff who make you feel welcome you can keep your expensive hotels

These apartments are definitely not 4*. The rooms are tired and uncomfortable although clean. The towel allocation is dreadful (we were given one hand towel between the two of us) and they are only changed once every three days. You need to carefully monitor that this is adhered to.
The snack bar is very definitely more cafeteria than dining room but we never ate there. The room telephone system is an absolute rip off and you would be well advised not to use it. Finally, on the negative side, the staff all appear to be as miserable as sin.
The apartments are well located, however, being close to The Tomb Of The Kings Road and a wide range of bars and restaurants.
We would not use it again.

Just back from a fortnight at these apartments which we booked last minute but were very impressed with the accommodation.
The staff are really friendly and the hotel has a nice atmosphere to it being mostly full of families or couples. The cleaners are in every day apart from a sunday and the air conditioning in the rooms works very well too. The apartments aren't intense luxury but I would definetly award them their 3 star title as they are spacious, clean and have good self catering facilities. The apartment had a hairdryer and microwave which I wasnt really expecting it to have as well.
The apartments are about a 15 min bus journey to the coral bay beach and again about a 15min walk to the harbour and pubs and clubs. Restaurant wise we didn't find the food at the harbour generally very impressive as it was all exactly the same and kind of like an expensive chippy! however if you turn right when you leave the hotel along the road to the coral bay there are a good selection of reasonably priced restaurants. Our favourite was one called Gondola which was a 10 min walk that way. Outside it looked like a pub but inside the tables were all really nice, staff friendly and food excellent. Set menu is really good value! (try the suckling pig)
If you hire a car I would also recommend stopping at the governor's beach which is on the road to ayia napa, its really nice and secluded. Also do NOT hire from savvas rentals (which is near the hotel on the way to the harbour) as our car broke down several times and so did other peoples. The car hire right next to the hotel is good.
All in all had a good holiday and apartments were great!

Coming back for a second time to Cyprus this time with my partner, i thought it would be in our best interest to stay somewhere thats local, friendly and all round has a good atmosphere and quiet to get them lil needed zzzzzz's. The Staff recognized me straight away from my last visit which was over a year ago and made me and my partner feel welcome again. Was made to feel at home where as you walk into the reception there was the family dog - god knows how old that lil chap is. Rooms exceptionally clean, with all ammentites needed. Found the fridge and safety deposit box very useful as the air conditioning. Maid's came in most days with always fresh towels and lining on our beds although when needing more towels it would of come in handy if the maids spoke a litttle English. Overall was still the best holiday and best apartments ever!! which is why im thinking of going back this year.

I went to Cyprus last year with my mum, dad and sister, it was really good, one of the best holidays I had been too. The staff were really nice and friendly, always willing to help. The bedroom was really clean and the air condition was really good especially in the afternoon when it was really hot. The pool was very clean and the people staying at it were nice.
Best restaurant to go to is Tramp, lovely people that own it and best food around. I'd recommend the Aphrodite's waterpark and the trip to Egypt, it was amazing.
Aw well you should go to Cyrus as a package holiday!
It was great and I will be coming back again in July with my family and two friends.

Just returned from 2 week holiday.
Apartment was in one of the new blocks and was clean and very impressive; 2 ring cooker and microwave enabled us to cook our own breakfast on several occasions.
Maids came in twice a week with clean linen but came in most days to sweep the floors and empty the bins. The sun was on the balcony first thing on a morning which was a god send in the afternoon as the temperatures were still in the mid 30's.
Plenty of places to eat, but for good, reasonably priced food, The Outback couldn't be beaten. Most places though do serve big portions so if you want a 3 course meal for a special occasion, don't eat anything else all day.
Plenty of things to do and places to see. This was our second visit to Cyprus and we will definitely be going back as there are still places that we haven't seen.

We enjoyed our one week stay at this hotel, as the room was lovely and clean. It provided everything you needed: kettle, cooker, microwave, hairdryer, and the plug sockets were British so no need for travel adapters!
There was lots of sunloungers by the pool in shaded and sunny areas so you could choose depending on how you felt. If it got to hot outside there was a lovely refreshing cold pool indoor which was fab. It is located near everything: bus stops, Fat Mama's, Bars, restaurants, beaches, harbour... you could not go wrong.
Eating out is fine. Best Chinese is Peach Blossom. Best Pizza is of course Pizza Hut. Best English breakfast is at Tramps, which is near hotel- its cheap and great service! Enjoyed it that much in Cyprus that we are going back for two weeks next year!
If you are travelling with Thomas Cook we recommend that as an excursion you go on their George's Fun Bus, as it is the BEST trip on the island it’s great for young and old!

We felt that our studio apartment was spacious and clean.
The linen and towels were changed every 3 days and the apartment was swept and tidied every day except Wednesday and Sunday.
The air conditioning - which is included, was an absolute necessity as it is very hot and humid at this time of year in Cyprus.
Our only real gripe was the size of the pool and surrounding area - it was too small for the number of apartments in the complex and as the local beach was not up to much, this was a disappointment.
We would recommend the following local restaurants - The Kingfisher Tavern, The Devonshire and Niki's Tavern all along the Tombs of the Kings Road heading towards Coral Bay for excellent food and good value.
