aqua park is an expensive day out, it will cost you 86 euro to get in, then 5 for your locker, you are all given wrist bands which are scanned when you buy anything and you pay on the way out. Everything is really expensive in there even by Cyprus standards.

I'ts hard to say how much you will need for the whole holiday, I suppose with it being AI you don't have to spend a penny but Cyprus in expensive..it will cost you 5 euros a day just buy 2 newspapers.

is there hairdriers in room just starting to pack 6 days to go dont want to take what i dont need :wave:

don't take one stumpy, there is one in the bedroom and apparantly it's very good.

I agree that t's different to know how much money to take.
We only spent £350 out there for a family of 4 - no excursions but a couple of meals out.
I did speak to families who'd spent over £1000 out there inc excursions.

Anything outside the AI is expensive, so if you're planning trips, meals out etc then it'll mount up there.

hi we spent 1800 euro all inc we went to water park twice cost about 120 euros per visit but agood day out and we went on the wave dancer really good day out that was 2 adults and 1 child and we never brought any kid junk lol as we all do spoke to someone who was self catering and they had spent 600 euro in 4 days if you go to the local waterpark which you can catch the bus outside complex no 11 or 15 the water park will give you your bus fare back also hairdryers in fishing village are in the dressing table never used it as took my own as plugs are the same as the uk

6 more sleeps

Anyone read the latest post on Tripadvisor Not good

Anyway, Hi colalips, did you really spend 1800 euros whilst you were on all inclusive ? How long did you stay 2 weeks ?

Does anyone know good car rental place ?

I agree that the latest 2 are bad reviews however, they are in the minority in my opinion. Don't let it worry anyone and make up your own mind when you get there. We didn't have any problems with the Aliathon whatsoever, as ever it's all down to individuals expectations so go with an open mind.

We had a fab time!! Just a couple of pointers.......

There is a lift up to the Adults Only bar, I've used it.........sounds petty but I like to correct inaccuracies if I can.

I found the Italian restaurant on the complex to be fantastic and reasonably priced and they accepted the discount card twice with us. We had a couple of lovely meals in there.

Pools were cleaned daily when we were there. A couple of minor problems in the 2 weeks that warranted closing them temporarily but nothing major. Our room was also cleaned more or less daily and was spotless.

Anyway, I don't think I'll get into this because I could go on forever trying to answer this persons negative review.....we had no problems like that. However, they had specific requirements re disabled access that weren't met so I'd be annoyed to in their position. To that extent, I can understand the neg review but as for the other problems I can't relate.

wow they are hardcore reviews id like to know what was on points 1 and 2 as mine starts at point 3??
and see pic 1 and 2 what pics???

i agree with hank its what you make it for last few years i always reserch my hotels on the net before and after booking and have yet ever to see a hotel without bad reviews

most first choice entertainment is cheesy but my kids love it and thats why i go to hotels like this for the kids always found kids clubs to be 100% first class and reps loving my kids last two years been with first choice club del sol majorca 2006 and petra mare crete 2007 maybe just been lucky but kids happy im happy full stop...........

Ps elles wheres my pics im off in 4 days
oh yeah baldman how old your kids?? im only takin 1 this year my stepdaughter gone with her dad daughter says we have to find her a sister on holiday lol

hi stumpythere is a great hair drier in the draw in the bed room only one setting on it and it gets very hot
does the job though

ha ha she mite burn her head il forget to metion it what about iron???

Aye, whatever happened to points 1 and 2? Very strange!!

You can get an iron from reception, 2 euro per day I think.

oh stumpy your so cruel
seriously though it is very hot
especialy if you have short hair and yes you can hire a iron and ironing board for 2 euro aday ring reception and they deliver them to ur room

About the Irons, are they alright, they don't have marks all over the face of the Iron do they ?

Don't want to burn or damage my new holiday whites

Don't know if i should take my own Iron ?

Hey Stumpy,
My two Girls are 8 and 14, my little lad is 4 but he's going to his Grans to get spoilt.
7 more sleeps to go, forgot tonight

Just returned from the Aliathon yesterday dont you just love the brittish weather! Overall we had a good holiday, my kids aged 9 and 12 loved it, they didnt use the kids clubs, mainly because they made their own friends around the pool and the other reason was that a lot of the activities took place during the hottest part of the day. We booked a 2 bedroom delux appartment, despite being reassured by 1st choice 4 times this was in the new fishing village, it was in the older part of the village, we couldnt complain about the apartment, it had 2 big bedrooms 2bathrooms and a fully fitted kitchen including dishwasher, the maid service was excellant. A word of warning though the hotel does seem to let these rooms out indepentantly of first choice,and during our 2nd week we had some disturbance from our neighbours, who regularly arrived back in the early hours!!

The food and drink in the main restaurant is nothing special but there is a good variety and a good choice for the children,what ever you do please dont go to the greek taverna, it is awful probably one of the worst meals i have ever been served in my life!

The evening entertainment was a little repetative, my son loved the bingo, and my daughter thought rock the room was the best. I think the E3 team did a brilliant job.

If you are thinking of going to the water park beware that if you are 12 or over you are charged as an adult, also there are signs everywhere saying you cant take your own food and drink, well i saw plenty of people with there own cold boxes!

I would recommmend the aliathon to young families who want an all inclusive holiday, you cant go wrong, we wouldnt return the complex is 2 big and I prefer a more relaxing environment.

Sorry forgot to say please get some swim ear for your kids on the plane, my son had an ear infection while we were there, the reps and medical centre were brilliant, there did seem to be a lot of ear infections while we were there though. I will definately take ear plugs with me next time.

I have seen the two bad reviews on TripAdvisor and have to say, that whilst they may have had legitimate grips, the negative reviews are in the minority.
So far I would say, that 90% of the posts, here and the majority of the reviews on TripAdvisor have said what a good time they have had at the Aliathon.
I know for sure that the negatives points will have been noted.

I myself cannot wait to return, 13 days to go, not that I'm counting.

The Aliathon has always been welcoming and I have never had a bad holiday.
We enjoyed the place some much, it was mine and Mrs Maggie's honeymoon location.

For all those yet to go, I hope you enjoy your holiday and the Aliathon as much as we do.

Hello all! Totally new to the site, but this thread had me hooked.

You see, my fella and I are getting married at Aliathon HV. We fly out from Manchester on September 7th and get wed on Friday 19th. Any of you going to be there?

The pics and posts have put my mind at rest about LOADS of issues I had!

13 sleeps and oh so very excited !!!!!!!!!!!!!
suitcase is out and been packed and unpacked about 100x
thanx for the input on spending money i think the more you take the more you spend and when uv paid AI really that should be enough !!!! i paid enough for it although i do like a change a few nights and cant wait to go to the aqua park !!!!
a few questions on that ladies did you wear a bikini or swimsuit i'v heard some stuff is fast and would hate to lose a bikini top half way down the shoot ??? and did anyone take stuff in with them how strict are they at checking when you go in ?? did anyone have and airport delays ??? (my biggest fear !!!!!!)
im reading a lot about ear infections but to be honest iv found this to be a problem most years and last year i was told by the doc that it is caused but the heat and not the pool as the heat melts the ear wax NICE!!!!! and lets infection in.
Is there an on site doctor and if so is he always available ??
and was there much of a problem with holiday tummy ?? my kids are only 2 and 4 so would be the last thing i need !!
any way im off to pack again LOL
p.s can we have some new pic's from you lot that are just back PLEEEEEZZZZZZZ

We had no dodgy tummys at all between 4 of us, food is nice in my opinion! My 8 year old and 2 year old enjoyed the food.

There's a medic on site I think, no doctor. My aunt cut her leg on a parasol base and had to go to the hospital after seeing the medic.

There is no on site medic, but the medical centre is open 24hrs in paphos, the reception staff and reps at the Aliathon are brilliant if you have a problem, and the staff at the medical centre all speak english, I couldnt recommend the service highly enough, and i have worked in the medical profession here for 23yrs and am normally the first to critise other countries.

Make sure you hide what ever you want to take into the water park is hiden and you will get away with it, the rides are fast so make sure you wear suitable swimwear if you want to keep your dignity!

There were no doggy tummies when we were there, everything is kept spotlessly clean, and i am a complete hygiene freak, really dont no what some people are writing about on this site!
