" brilliant "
Submitted By: elz23999where do i start..well im 14 and at the time i was 13, some people are saying that this holiday is not for kids my age, but it is. I really enjoyed this holiday and would deffinatly go back. The only down side i must say is the ammount of bugs you find in your room, but it didnt bother me. Also it was quite a long distance walk from the town and and nice quality beach, allthough there was a bus so this made it easier:) I thought that the tombs were great fun and worth visiting if you are bored. The food i really nice and yummy! There are 3 pools, 2 bars, 1 pool table, kids club, sort of beach but no sand which rather dissapointing but we just went to coral beach which was amazing! the staff were great and funny, rooms were big. I loved every thing appart from the location, which isnt that bad but OK xxxx hope you have as good a time as i did xxxx
Advice: Quite dusty but didnt bother me
Activities: the tombs, the town and laying on the beach

" Best Holiday Ever "
Submitted By: GenshellThe hotel was really well spread out and easy to find your way around. Our Studio was very spacious, clean but could have been cleaner, adequate for what we used it for. Had an inland view from the balcony, but we could see the sea to the left and the mountains to the right. Food was fantastic, upgraded to half board on site as it worked out 90 Euros for 4 days. It was worth payng extra for the air conditioning if you go at this time of year as it was very very hot. Great choice of food and plenty to eat. The kids entertainment was great, not too much but enough to keep them amused. The pool bar was expensive as far as buying drinks and ice cream go (but I have since heard that Cyprus is expensive anyway). Food at the pool bar was reasonable in the day for snacks (large snacks) but The Taverna in the evening was expensive but you do get a lot of food. The Cocktail bar was also reasonable as far as food goes. The Mini Market catered for basic needs, water was reasonably priced her but not much else. Yes there were a lot of ants but they are half the size of what we get in this country and I only had a few in my room. You just need to remember that they will carry any goodies away that are left on the floor. Lots of lizards, but they are very friendly. Most nights me and my daughter spent searching for wild cats and lizards, she thoroughly enjoyed it. I never saw one gnat all holiday, I took loads of insect spray but didn't use it once.
Evening entertainment was ok(apart from Robbie Williams he was fab). The reception was comfortable if you just want to get away from it for a while and the reception staff bent over backwards to help. George the Restaurant Manager was a fantastic host, made my daughter feel really special. Chris - The Rep, can't say that I had much to do with him but everything was so straight forward I never really had to see him about anything. Becky was great with the entertainment, very helpful and approachable.
The walk to the bus, yes it was dry and hot but it took 10 minutes, so not a big deal. The beach is very rocky, but behind the Pool bar there is a little cove where you can paddle or even swim in the sea. Plenty of sunbeds beside the pool. I felt safe with my daughter not being by my side all the time, it was nice to be able to give her some freedom.
I didn't venture far as it was my first holiday abroad with my daughter, so as far as I am concerned I have been spoilt by this holiday. Just hope that my future holidays can compare.
Advice: Didn't really see much of Paphos but it was beautiful what I did see

" my first holiday abroad.. "
Submitted By: skytidesakti is a complex of 2 floor apartments with a central reception, 3 pools, restaurants, bar, gym and a small shop. i was pleasantly surprised by our room it was on the top floor, very spacious and clean. our balcony had a nice view and we could see a bit of sea even though it was inland view room. the apartments look attractive with small gardens along the paths. reception was pleasant enough, though i didnt think much of the restaurants. we had to use the one on the lower floor on the night we got there, as we couldnt find anywhere cheap to eat. it was an 'italian buffet'. since we were cautious about eating meat abroad we just opted for some salad and pasta which really wasnt worth the 15 euros it cost.(the waiter was quite offended we had hardly touched the food!'
the pools looked nice and clean though we didnt go in, and the sunbed area was nice with a good sea view. there isnt much of a beach there, its more of a pebbled cove that fits about 5 people; coral bay is definitely the place to go for beaches.
i had read the reviews on this site and was well prepared for 'the dirt path'which leads to the main road. believe me you CANT walk to paphos from the resort; its a long way, very hot and the road is abit dangerous to walk along. we rented a car for 3 days and though i didnt use much of the petrol, it was essential for getting to town, coral bay, and bringing groceries back. the main road is fine to drive along, though the cypriot drivers tend to pull out without warning so be careful!
the town has a market area and harbour both accessible by bus. there are lots of shops but not many had traditional cyprus goods which was a shame, they are mostly knock off brand handbags/belts and opticians.
we only ate at a couple of cafes as the food is quite expensive its about £6 for a mediochre jacket spud. the cheapest place we ate was opposite the tomb of the kings, and the nicest food we had was at the Hobo cafe at the end of the harbour.
theres plenty of historical sights to see within a close distance- tomb of the kings is 5 min drive from akti, and at the harbour you can see the fort, and roman mosaics. coral bay is about 15 mins away and is absolutely gorgeous, the water is shallow and there are watersports availible.
monarch offered several excursions like mountain safari, daytrip to cairo, and a trip to go snorkeling at the blue lagoon. we wanted to go on this trip but unfortunatley didnt get round to booking it. the reps and staff were fairly pleasant at the resort. there was a kids club and activities for younger children 6 days a week- probably not best for older children they may get bored at the resort.
the only bad things about the holiday were: mosquitos, they drove me mad. there werent many but i had to buy bug spray to sort them out.
also, we arrived at the resort late afternoon and were left feeling a bit deserted when it came to food. we didnt get a map or anything until the next day, and the receptionist told us we could find a cash machine 'just at KFC'. well that turned out to be about 2 miles away and we didnt know where we were going and had to settle paying a fortune for the resorts buffet. if you arrive late and dont have a car id recommend just getting beans and toast from the resort shop! there were a couple of restaurants on the main road but i dont know if they are any good.
The isolation of the resort will certainly be a problem for young children or people with walking difficulties - rent a car!
best thing about the holiday: weather, coral bay beach and just being able to relax on a clean and nice looking resort
Advice: pleasant but small
