Sentido Pafian Sun Holiday Village

What a fantastic hotel! I have recently stayed here with my family and would like to say that its the best family holiday i have had in a long while. The food was very good, the accomodation was rather basic but on the upside the pool was fantastic. The entertainment staff were outstanding. There ware plenty of things to do around the pool all day and evening entertainment for kids and adults untill about 11.30pm. The Thomas Cook Kidsworld staff were very very friendly and well experienced, my 4 year old loved them. The entertainment staff were out of this world and had everyone joining in weather it be by the pool with water games or in the evening with fun and games. I would definately recommend this hotel to families looking for a fun filled holiday.

Would strongly recommend this holiday, me and my friends enjoyed every minute of it.
The hotel was clean, our room was huge!! Great views overlooking the sea. There wasnt much variety to choose from when it comes to food. So if you are as fussy as me, stick to what you know!
During our stay we did two excurstions, we spent the day on a yacht. You spent the day lying on a yacht listening to good music and playing games, finished off with a swim in the medditeranean and kareoke. I highly recommened georges fun bus, an amazing day driving around cyprus in a bus. Stopping at a monestry, art gallery, ruins, a waterful and ending the day having a bbq on the beach. George made the day with his friendliness and humour.
Everyday there is lots of entertainment, the aqua aerobics was our favourite :)
good holiday would definatley go back

We have just got back from a two week holiday to the Pafian Sun....It was just fantastic. My brother got married in Cyprus. Everything was great about the holiday. The accommodation was everything we could have asked for and more. The food was good, the pool was excellent and the staff were amazing. The entertainment exceeded all or our expectations! All of the reps were fantastic.
We went on a trip to Egypt for the day. It was quite expensive, but well worth the money. I would recommend the trip to anyone who has an interest ancient Egypt.
The location of the Pafian Sun was really good. Coral Bay was just a short journey on the bus, as was Paphos. both really nice places. Very good places to eat out if you like that kind of thing.
I can honestly say, it was the best holiday I have ever had. I would go back to the Pafian Sun, and I would recommend it to everyone.

A bit worried about this holiday as first time abroad and reviews were mixed. Shouldn't have worried! Hotel was great, food excellent, staff were friendly and efficient. At times hotel was very busy but it didn't change the service. The entertainment team worked really hard but you do get fed up with it as time goes on. They need to vary it, excellent for families with young children, not for young couples. We hired a jeep for a couple of days and explored the island. Coral bay is 5 mins up the road, beautiful, but go prepared if staying a while. We found the shops very inexpensive but in Paphos more expensive. Be on the look-out for time share scammers giving out scratchcards!!!!!!! We had a great holiday and have booked again for next year for 2 weeks!!

If you are expecting a 4 star holiday complex..then do not book this shabby and tired holiday. We arrived early on Monday at 3am and were greeted by cochroaches in the bathroom, air con falling off the wall and leaking water on the floor, it was not the 4 star standard we were expecting, needless to say we kicked off with Terri the TC rep and had to pay $700 to move out that same day - offered an upgrade but declined - lets face it if the rooms are a shabby disgrace then the kitchen must be a filthy place too...
DO NOT BOOK - and if you have, go and demand a refund or a change , as Terri said the 4 star relates to the entertainment and not the room... basic and poor quality - we are still here in Cyprus, having paid $700 to move over to the Laura Beach Hotel - this is 4 star and very nice, clean rooms, clean lobby and super clean pools -
Im now hoping that TC will refund me the money! If you do end up there, get pictures before you leave, because you'll need them for the claim!!
AGAIN -DO NOT BOOK THIS DUMP!!!

We went to the pafian sun 2 adults and 1 teenager, I think it depends on where abouts your room is as to what sort of noise you get if you are near the reception you are woken up at 9.45 every morning with a butlins sort of entertainment but if you want it quieter I suggest you ask to be at the front facing the sea near the 2nd pool that not a lot of people know about so everybody just stays by the one pool.
There are signs to say that you cannot reserve sunbeds but people do get up at all hours to put their towels down and then go back to bed maybe if they were thrown into the pool a few times this would solve the problem, or if everybody was given a specific sun bed number on arrival that would help.
The food is ok a different theme each night and never any night that we could not find anything to eat at all it was warm and varied, even though they think we like sprouts with every meal. lunch times were better than evening.ask at reception waht night your a la carte is it is worth going to even if it is just a change of room and it costs you nothing even though it has a price list outside so a lot of people were not taking advantage of it, but do as you get waiter service and food is laid out really nice.
The entertainment was good if you are 6 years old other than that it was the reps jumping up and down trying to sing and dance, Wednesday was the night that somebody came in to entertain that was the best night.
The staff are not very friendly which surprised me as I have always been told that Cypriot people are lovely but they are few and far between in the hotel majority of them are Hungarian or Russian and you feel that if they smiled then their faces would crack the exceptions are Kalina the cleaner she was a star that kept our room spotless and the blond lady that sits opp the reception name evades me.
To get your money changed go into Pathos harbour we were getting the best rate there with no commission charge either, just get off bus at Debenhams opp peacocks and walk along the front about 200 yds you will see sign.
We went on a boat trip along the coast it was a great day 6hours with lunch singing and dancing look for the lady in the venus advertising spot near the harbour and book with her 38e each but we felt it was worth it.
I would not go to Pathian again as it does not have a beach and is a little bit out albeit a bus is only 1.50 euro, if you have kids and like to stay in hotel all holiday then you will enjoy it they do quizzes volleyball etc, I beleive that they do rooms with adjoining rooms onto them but I did not find this out until right near the end of holiday so if you want a bit of peace ask for one of those.
If you go out of hotel and turn right and then first right again there is a nice bar there called Hollies sometimes I think its nice for a walk out for a change and they made you feel very welcome.

just returned after 1 week honey moon i was a bit worried because i had never been all inclusive before but i need not have worried. there was nothing to complain about rooms have been refurbished and are great, there is only 1 english tv channel but if that bothers you you shouldnt realy be abroad. the food was out of this world. the entertainment staff were great and so was the kids club. i will deffinatly be returning. one note men need to wear long trousers for the evening meal wich prompts everyone to dress smart wich is not a bad thing. very enjoyable holiday i think some of the bad reports must be from a different hotel
