I stayed there in October 2003. Most aspects of the hotel are lovely - superb pool area, and good standard of rooms. Most of the hotel staff were lovely except those on reception who were frosty. Food was a major disappointment - breakfast was fine - unless you sit outside where you will be overrun with cats. Dinner not a good standard, so I would only go to this hotel on a B & B basis, although if you are half board they will let you swop dinner for lunch - which was always very good. Ok for dinner if you like jelly for dessert - it comes in many colours and was usually all that was on offer. Be careful about the mini fridge in the room -it is pre stocked and they will charge for you to store your drinks in it - they will also try to say that you have used their drinks when you haven't! My niggles were minor - the hotel is in a good situation and I would stay there again, although I would not pay extra for a sea view.

I've stayed here twice, both times BB which was fine. I wouldn't pay the extra for a sea view room as the hotel is on the opposite side of the road to the beach! The only downside I found was weekends when the locals use the hotel for their wedding receptions and it can get a little busy - but most people are out on the town anyway. Hotel is in a good position convenient for both town and the triangle bars and restaurants.

Hi i got married here last september (17) and had my reception and stayed at the Aloe hotel. All in all it was very good lovley pool, drinks at the bar were also a fair price. It is in a ideal location close to every thing you need. Although i do think that there is a few dodgy rooms one of which my parents had. The view was of a back wall covered in pipe work it was very noise and smelly. Also there bed mattress and sheets were all torn. They did change room after 5 days and me in tears a few times trying to sort it all out. They do have a lot of wedding here and to start with i felt like they wasnt really bothered about mine but in the end on the day it was perfect. The food was amazing for the price we paid, and all our 44 guests said how lovley it was. We did eat at the hotel again a few days later and the food was a let down. It was not anyway as nice as what we had on are wedding day. I had been told this also by someone else aswell. Dont know is they use a different chef or not??????? Any more questions fire away.

Not really to much for the kids in the hotel. Although we did use air beds in the pool area and made our own fun. There is a good sized water park up the road just up past the Athena beach hotel and some go kart tracks which was fun.

Janet,

We stayed at the Aloe for 10 nights in June 2003. We liked the hotel and enjoyed our stay. For us there were only two areas we felt let the hotel down a little, it is not directly on the beach, although we knew that when we booked so it wasnt not an issue, just a nice feature.

Secondly were the breakfasts, we thought they were a little limited however it is nigh on 3 years ago so that may have changed.

Enjoy the Aloe and Paphos :D

Here is a photo I took of the Aloe pool area :-

Stayed there in 2003 so some time ago, but as the photo shows, the pool area is fantastic. Beach is across the road and over a car park. Not much of a beach, so not worth paying extra for a sea view room, although we had a side sea view which was nice. Breakfasts I found ok, apart from the number of cats which roam outside on the terrace ( I am a cat lover, but not when I'm eating!). Dinner was poor with little selection, hopeless for vegetarians, and fine it you like lots of jelly for dessert as that's all there was. Hopefully they will have improved this by now - we did go in October when there was a large elderly contingent. When I was there you could swap dinner for lunch and this was of much better quality.

I found the hotel very comfortable, and the staff lovely except on reception where they were rude and grumpy. The indoor pool is very nice, and the public areas are fine. I had no complaints about the bedrooms either. It's in a good situation - quiet but not far from bars and restaurants.

I would stay here again but wouldn't go half board. I would rate it as 3 star rather than 4, but it is certainly an okay place to stay, with the pool area being its best feature.

Jan,

When I went in 2003 men were required to wear long trousers at dinner in the hotel.

Back then I wasnt bothered about gyms (different story now, really enjoy using the gym) so I am afraid I cant help you but I cant imagine there is much of a rule on ages, perhaps 14 or so but probably not a big issue as long as any under 18's behave themselves and act sesibly on the equipment they should be fine.

:lol: thanks for the info i was asking about the gym for my nephew who his 14 :ghug jan

I am considering booking for the Aloe Hotel in Paphos for 2007, however some of the reviews are not particularly good for previous years. There is only one review for 2006. Has anyone been this year?, if so how was it? Would appreciate your comments. Thanks
