Cynthiana Beach Hotel

Another wonderful holiday our 3rd time,everyone is so friendly food amazing we stay all inclusive,same room every time we go as we ask for it sea view 👌we have meet so many nice people and made good friends who we see every time we go so its not just a holiday to us now its somewhere where we meet our friends once a year have a drink and a catch up. Would definitely recommend this hotel its just perfect 👌

This is a hidden treasure, away from Paphos town, but near enough to get the bus into shops etc. I don’t know why it is a three star hotel, it offers five star service. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is spotlessly clean. Ideal for solo travelers.

My husband and I stayed at the Cynthiana Beach Hotel for 10 nights on an all-inclusive package at the end of June/July. We upgraded to a deluxe sea view room and mentioned that we were celebrating a special occasion.

Check-in was quick and easy. We arrived around 11pm and were told the bar was open until 1am, so we dropped our suitcases in the room and headed for a drink. Unfortunately, we were then told that the all-inclusive package finishes at 11pm. The staff kindly let us have two drinks, but after that we would have had to pay which was a disappointing welcome. To be honest, the cocktails were so disappointing that we decided to call it a night and hoped things would improve the following day.

The room itself was clean, tidy and had everything we needed, including a fridge. However, we were a little disappointed with the "deluxe sea view". Our room (315) overlooked the front of the hotel and the car park mainly, with only a view of the sea in the distance. Technically I suppose it was a sea view, but the rooms on the opposite side of the corridor looked to have much better views over the beach and the rear of the hotel. The air conditioning also struggled to keep the room cool, so bear that in mind if you're visiting during the hotter months.

Housekeeping came every day, which was appreciated, but the cleaners would often just walk straight into the room without waiting after knocking. There were a few close calls where we were less than fully dressed! Giving guests a chance to answer the door would make a big difference.

Breakfast was a fairly standard buffet—nothing particularly special, but certainly acceptable. The best part was eating outside with the beautiful sea views.

The hotel's biggest selling point is definitely its location. The private beach area is lovely and was one of the reasons we chose to stay here, having visited the beach area a few years ago. We could usually find sunbeds around 11am, but after midday it became very difficult, and the pool area was always busy & noisy.

The biggest disappointment for us was the all-inclusive drinks package. I was looking forward to enjoying a Brandy Sour, but it wasn't very good at all, and overall the cocktails were poor. Drinks such as Piña Coladas, Sex on the Beach and frozen daiquiris all incur an extra charge, even on the all-inclusive package. I also enjoy a glass of fizz on holiday, but that was €8 per glass & not included either. Compared with other all-inclusive hotels we've stayed at in Paphos, the drinks offering was extremely disappointing.

Dinner was another let-down. The buffet lacked variety, and the food was often only lukewarm. We only ate in the hotel a couple of times before deciding to eat out for most evenings.

One highlight was the spa. I had a wonderful massage from a lovely therapist, although at €100 it was quite expensive.

The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and hardworking, which is definitely a positive. However, despite the fantastic location, we wouldn't return, especially considering the price we paid. Sadly, the all-inclusive package simply doesn't offer the value or quality we've experienced at other hotels in Paphos.
