The Atlantica Bay hotel is adults only and is on the outskirts of Limassol on the seafront road. There is a good bus service into town. all buses in Cyprus cost €1 for a one way journey. The area surrounding Atlantica Bay is starting to be developed and there are many good returants and bars nearby.
The Atlantica Oasis has been completely refurbished in recent years and caters for families, although there is an adults only area. I have friends who stay there regualrly and they have no complaints about food or facilities. There are many good restaurants and bars nearby, and the bus is a few minutes walk away.
The St. George Hotel is out of Paphos towards Coral Bay, and there is a good bus service to Coral Bay and Paphos town and harbour.
There are some restaurants and shops nearby.
The Athena hotel is on the main tourist road and is in a row of many hotels. There are some bars and restaurants across the road, and also a bus service to Paphos harbour.
All hotels are of a good standard, so it does depend on the area you want to stay!

Thanks for the information Carol. I'm sure Tangobunny will appreciate it.

If you are doing the cruise and don't fancy the transfer to Paphos after it then choose Limassol.

St George's Hotel in Paphos is well along Coral Bay road and a long way out of the main harbour area/resort. I can't recall off the top of my head just whereabouts the Athena Beach is now. But, if it's anywhere near the Aliathon Resort or Alexander the Great hotel then you will be within walking distance of the harbour area. If it's on Coral Bay road then it's a bus or taxi ride.

My choice would most definitely be the Atlantica Oasis. It's in a good position set back a little from the main seafront road so as not to be disturbed by any traffic. There are lots of small bars and restaurants all within walking distance and the beach is just across the road if you can tear yourself away from the new pool area!

The bus stop is over the road for a visit to the Old Town and St Andrews shopping street (lots of work is underway around the Old Port area about 5km away as they're building a new marina with shops and apartments). If I recall, the Atlantica's used to run a bus service from the Oasis to the Bay hotel where you could use the beach there. Atlantica Bay is too far out of the resort of Limassol for my liking and is a chore having to take a bus or taxi anytime you want to head into town or find some kind of civilisation.

Enjoy!
