Thanks for your response Fizz, my boys are 10 and 13, and it appears from the responses so far that there is no problem with the waterpark. I will certainly give it a look over whilst we are there.

Hi
whilst fassouri is a very good water park, the aqua park in paphos is also very good, we were there last week it is very clean & well laid out with plenty to do for young & old

Hi

We visited Paphos Waterpark in June. We have been to the Ayia Napa one twice which is far superior. We found the Paphos one crammed into a small area and the staff were not as attentive.

Also some of the slides were extremely scary and fast and the lifeguard didn't seem to be particularly interested when I asked him to keep his eyes on my child coming down at what seemed like 100 mph when I crashed into the water! I prefer the Ayia Napa Waterworld, but I know it's quite a jaunt from Paphos.

Also food is puke and staff miserable. They need to up their game as people will just go to Fassouri in the future.

However if you are that way do visit the crazy golf place. Beautifully set out and lovely people.

Thanks for your responses. If it is a bit dodgy I dont want to be worrying all day about the kids coming down at 100mph! Might just go to the others instead. We are planning on hiring a car anyhow so might do either ayia napa or Fassouri waterpark instead. As for the crazy golf my kids will be well impressed! Wherever we go they just HAVE to have a game!
Thanks again!

jules you've had good reports from everyone else so are you really going
to let one person put you off? I'll certainly be taking my grandchildren
in September, we'll be going to them all. :lol:
At the end of the day it's a parents job to watch their kids no one elses.

well im sorry kirren, but dont agree with you at all, i am very careful to make sure my kids are safe at all times ,my son was 3 and daughter was 13 when we went, and the life guards were very good they watched them all the time, but saying that so did i and if i thought the slides were too big for them i decided the didnt go on, maybe you should,nt have allowed you child on the slide,its your responsibility to watch your children noone elses,
Also food is puke and staff miserable.
sorry but rubbish,
the food was fine and we found the staff lovely, we wouldnt have gone back a second time if we had not have.

I agree that we should all be responsible for our kids. Totally. In fact, if anything I would be with them on the bloomin slides - I am a nutter myself!
I will just play it by ear and see where we fancy when we are there, but its good to know everyone's views on it. After all, it might have just been a bad day when Kirren went. We all have our off days at work after all.

I'm for ayia napa next week and i'm most excited about the water park!!! even though i'm 23 i'm still a big kid :yipee The thing is... will i have to queue for ages in the baking sun to get down a slide? Because its mid-august i'm thinking it'll be really busy.

Would really like to hear from anyone else who's been at the water park this time of year

Katters.......check your PM...........I've put something on there that might help alleviate the inevitable waiting around you're likely to encounter in August at the WaterPark :lol:

I was there last August with my son and his mates, sadly you do have to queue for some of the better slides :(

Tip: Don't bother to buy prepaid tickets from the reps or others, just get discount vouchers (CY£1-2 per person), most Taxis have them, and pay on the gate, they'll tell you you're a VIP and won't have to queue if you prepay.... But they sell so many (and cop a commission) that the prepayers simply queue in a different line :roll:

We were there last year in July and the queues were not too bad, am I to take it they will be pretty bad in August? We travel out on the 17th, if so any advice would be much appreciated.....

hi went on a sunday in july nitemare packed with cypriots go midweek much better

I agree with the above post. This applies to the beaches aswell. Usually over crowded on a weekend, due to the fact Cypriots are enjoying their weekend off (and why not!). We usually hire a car for a couple of days , so we can do our "sightseeing". Either that, or stop around your swimming pool, sunbathe and relax!! 8) :sun

Thanks for that, will make sure it is midweek when we visit.

We always visit on a Wednesday, i think it is quite a big changeover day and we have haven't had any probs with queues. Mind you we visit end of Aug.

Thank you BlueBabe and Fizz for the assumption that I was not looking out for my child.

I can assure you that I asked the member of staff if the ride was suitable for my child and that I went down the slide first to meet him at the end.

There were no signs stating suitability for age etc, and therefore when you ask a member of staff for advice you would expect it to be reliable.

Indeed I agree that it is parents responsibility to look after their children, and for that reasonit would not be fair to leave the safety of my child in such an environment with their grandparents.
:!:
I still stand by my comment that the food was puke! You must be easily pleased.
