Hotels near Saint Paul＇s Pillar, Paphos

Just come back from a fab week at this hotel. If you want a complete chilled out time this is the Hotel for you. All the staff are a credit to this hotel and make your stay so special. Sending you all out love and thanks and hopefully see you again 😍

We have just returned from our first trip to Cyprus and we can honestly say this hotel more than met our expectations . Location Might bother some but we liked it being a bit away from things . Even the bigger hotels that were on the sea front were a 30 minute walk to the harbour where as KJ was a nice 15 minute stroll to the harbour. We walked there and back several times in the evening no issues and only got a taxi once in the day due to heat ! Harbour is lovely , lots to do , eat and see , mall is a mall - nothing major in my opinion but worth and hour or so and has great air con . Walk from mall to harbour is also not difficult or long. Locally within 300yards of hotel there are pharmacies, little shops to get essentials if you forget anything , private DR If you need to see one . Bakery etc , anything you might need. Rooms and grounds Our room was dated but we booked knowing they are closing for update later this year . Room was a great size , cleaned daily. Aircon was great and room had everything you needed ( iron , kettle , fridge ) . Was perfectly adequate but can imagine once updated they will be incredible next year ! Couple thing to note no plugs by bed in our room and quite small amount of wardrobe space - didn’t bother us and I know other rooms had 4 wardrobes so might be worth considering adding more when referbing rooms ? Also no mini bar in room which is unusual at an AI resort - again not a deal breaker for us , bar was very close. Some areas had been updated already and looked fab . Main pool was lovely cooler in the morning but warm in afternoon and got sun all day , you did need to “ reserve” sunbeds but it’s peak season and everyone got a bed ( hotel staff will accommodate you if you don’t ) some guests did like to go on and on to anyone who would listen about the practice of reserving sunbeds but it really wasn’t a big issue everyone got a bed who wanted one . Pool toilets and shower’s were very good Food and drinks This is one of the highlights , food was amazing . I’m a very fussy eater but I didn’t struggle at all and I even ate meat which I never do away from home ! Food is fresh , great ingredients and clearly labelled etc . Great selection for vegetarian diets as well which is often lacking . Drinks menu was great , pool side service was a real treat -they worked so hard all day And finally …. The staff The highlight of the hotel - the staff can’t do enough for you from the minute to walk through the door and are a credit to this hotel . Smiles , good mornings , how are yous ? Do you need anything , can I help . You never walk past a staff member without being acknowledged or asked a question . George is such a hands on manger I’ve never seen anyone like him in a hotel . Everyday he is out with his staff working , helping them , checking in with his quests constantly. He does everything from emptying a bin to making eggs in the morning . You cannot beat a manager who leads by example and gets stuck i

Breakfast super buffet everything delicious, and corresponds to the price-performance ratio, for dinner a restaurant VIVA CYPRUS is very RECOMMENDED nearby. Great location. In Paphos the buses are bad, please rent a car immediately, it's cheap 10-20 €/day... the taxis are expensive and they screw every pig... So please rent a car. Staff: I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are the best... Always helpful and very human... My wife did not feel well during the holiday and went to the hospital. They allowed me to take breakfast to go for my wife and a delivery box prepared for this... That was really great. Cons : the hotel is a bit old and the facilities need to be updated but that's easily ignored when you have such a great friendly staff. Sauna against 7€ extra which is also disadvantageous in my opinion. So in a big goose the hotel is very good and I book there again and again 😁. Greetings from Chaban family

Lovely 10 day stay, great restaurant choices, we particularly enjoyed the Mediterranean and Bacco. The staff at both were particularly attentive and so friendly with our boys (11m and 3yr). Great kids choices and nothing off limits for our baby, literally any combination of ingredients cooked however we liked and blended to any texture.. complimentary room service even if you didn’t want this at the restaurant. The kids club was the best we have experienced. Rachel runs the most professional and caring kids club and crèche. Heather, Rachel and Ramona were so great with our boys, it’s the first kids club our eldest has been happy to leave us, he spent the morning there everyday and one day even asked to go in the afternoon too! They have a soft play, did endless drawings, crowns, masks, cutting and sticking, and all the toys imaginable. The creche was also ideal, it has a limited capacity so was really calm, all the toys a little one could need and lovely cots for nap time. Everything is very hygienic, wiped down after the sessions use. The boys were just so happy to go everyday and it really did make a big difference to our holiday. We will definitely be going back for the kids club alone!

Great place, convenient location, close to a bus stop, supermarket, beach and cafes, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the hotel has a swimming pool and a bar and all sorts of entertainment and day and evening are available to hotel residents

The experience in this hostel was horrible. It was dirty, it is very unsafe since at night they are allowed to have parties with people drinking, both from the hostel and guests of the clients. They partied until 3 or 4 in the morning without letting people sleep, there was no one to complain during the night. Obviously, in the morning we got up and everything was full of the remains of the party, drinks, dirty glasses... We complained to the hostel management, which has made us dizzy to this day, since they told us that we were leaving to return the money for the two nights we spent there and we have not received any response or compensation from her. I don't recommend it at all.

Overall it was a nice hotel with a good pool and the food was tasty. We were bed and breakfast and decided to eat in the main restaurant (katoi) for one of the nights. On the large restaurant booking screens we saw there was an a la carte menu with lots of reasonably priced meals (circa €15) so planned to have this. When we turned up they said there was only the buffet available (€33) which was quite expensive, but we couldn’t go anywhere else in the hotel as it all needed pre booking. The staff had never heard of this menu. When we checked in with our toddler we were hoping there would be a cot in the room already. There wasn’t so we called for one, which we were told would be right there. An hour later nothing had turned up, so we rang again and were told it would be there after we returned from dinner. When we got back there was a bed being set up which was totally unsuitable. We had to ring again by which time it was ages after her bedtime.

We have come back from a wonderful 10 days all inclusive holiday at this fantastic hotel. It is hard to know where to start, but I think I will start with the staff. Bear in mind we went from August the 13th -23rd, so towards the end of season. Ordinarily this is when exhausted staff are struggling to be enthusiastic. Not so here. Irene,Dimitrius, Andreaus (misspelt), Sara our housekeeping person, Aphrodite ... I could go on to every member of staff there. They were so friendly, knowledgeable, fun and helpful. Our son loved every second of his time and was well looked after as were we. The food was really good. Remember this is a 3 star hotel but the quality was very high. All inclusive is on a buffet basis and the theme changed every night. I loved the Cypriate and greek evenings but oriental was also good. Breakfast is very varied with something for everyone. The food is replenished constantly so no dried out eggs in site. The selection of drinks available in all inclusive is really good, but there is also a happy hour in the evenings so drinks not in the all inclusive are only €3.50 for a cocktail. The room was large and comfortable...and quiet. There is air conditioning at no extra charge. We took a media server with us so had a couple of movie evenings in the room as it was close to 40 degrees outside. There is a really well priced shop on site..again really friendly. There is live music or bingo most evenings. Kids are entertained by the energetic and very fun Eddie. Our son loved the table tennis, boulle, water polo and volley ball. Eddie also doubles up to do an evening music quiz. The hotel itself is lovely with a great restaurant, stunning views, lovely bars and lovely pools (one is for the executives that we didn't go in but looked nice). We did not have an issue getting a sun bed. The hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere, and housekeeping takes great pride in making sure every area is perfect. The hotel is on the sea, but it is a rocky area not sand. However it has a massive tidal pool that has fish swimming in it, and it is easy to swim out. The 615 bus takes you to coral bay in 10 minutes or Corralia bay (our preference) in 15 minutes if you like stunning beaches. It is also a short hop to Paphos and all the attractions there. Tombs of the kings is a highlight. We loved it here and will be back. What a find!

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday with my husband at this amazing resort! The architucture of the place leaves you breathless! The rooms are big, comfortable in every way, with wall to ceiling windows and with all amenities. Excellent food; smiling and helpful staff, faultless mamagement; but most of all,the spa is probably the best we've been to in Europe and Asia! Do not miss this experience!!
