Hi deborahj

Glad you enjoyed your holiday and the apartments were good :D

Like yourself I prefer quiet at night to a view as you never really spend

that much time in your accommodation

Hope your daughters wedding went well. The Ledra looks lovely although

I've never been in it..........yet :wink:

hi the wedding was fantastic we paid £30 per adult and £15 for our ten year old to go in all inclusive for the day at the ledra.
It might be worth going in for the day as you can eat and drink all day and use the great facilities.the indoor pool is lovely on a red hot day.

Hi whats the area around the Hotel like had mixed reports about the area and the locals

Hi deborahj :D

That's a great price.......was that just morning till night or over night? Either

way it's good value considering the quality of the Ledra :D

We'll be staying just along the road at the Avanti Village so may give it a

try.

Trueblue.......the Ledra is situated in a quiet part of Paphos next to more

hotels of the same calibre. The entrance overlooks open land and behind

it is the beach and the sea. As for the locals.....they are the most friendly

and welcoming people I've met.

the area around the mayfair is ok (not as nice as the ledra but its less than half the price)
the main street which leads to it is very typical eg couple of supermarkets plenty of restaurants /bars by the way the full moon restaurant/bar does a fantastic full english breakfast.
the area around the back of the hotel is a little run down but there is a big co-op hypermarket there, so some rooms are looking on to the back of this. before we went we read reports of groups of locals gangs hanging around but there was none of this when we were there.
its a good value hotel ,very clean and only ten mins away from beach and fifteen mins to harbour.
we hired a 8 person jeep with a tank full of petrol for £115 for three full days and toured the island.

the price in the ledra was for the day.
we went in at 8 in the morning and left about midnight.
you can even get towels from the reception you just leave a 5 pound deposit and get it back when you hand in your towel

Thanks for that was a bit worried after what we had read.

Welcome back, DeborahJ! You must have had a wonderful time.

It is certainly reassuring to hear that you found the accommodation ok. We are counting down the weeks now!

Would you say that the view over the back of the hotel, supermarket, etc. is one best avoided? I am wondering if to contact the hotel just before we go and ask for a pool view.

How did you find the entertainment? One last question, did you go to the beach? If so, did you find the local one ok, or did you get the bus to another one?

Cheers!

hi
the views over the supermarket are the quiet area so it just depends what you want.
we were in room 215 and we were looking over a couple of local houses which was fine but some of the pool view rooms in our block had to contend with the evening entertainment bar.
the evening entertainment is basic eg bingo,quizzes and the animation team aking it in turns to sing songs (some not so good).
we went out into the town and the harbour to eat and drink and there is a good choice here. :lol:
i prefer the pool to the beach but we went to coral beach in our jeep and parked up for the morning,
this is apparently one of the best beaches.
avoid fridays because all the local teenagers hit the beach and it was packed with the young ones playing ball games.

DeborahJ, Thanks for replying so quickly!

It really seems that there are pros and cons about wherever you are placed (as always!) As you say, it was quieter where you were placed, but maybe not a fantastic view, and, although the pool view is nice, of course, it is then noisier. We shall wait and see! I am just relieved that you have come back with good reports!

Cheers!

Mayfair at least a 10/15 min bus ride away. If I am not mistaken it's not far from the King of the Tombs road......but need to check.

From the Mayfair its about 15-20 mins walk to the harbour (depending how fast you walk).
About 5 mins to the edge of the touristy area.
It would depend which beach you mean.(we are not beach goers ,perhaps someone else can help)
