We found this hotel and very pleasent one, not amazing, but nice. It was clean sheets changed daily, we loved the air con!
Thr food was lovely, and the location was a little out of the way, the local bus service is highly recommended.
The staff were helpful, and very eager to take your plate away when finished eating, this became slighlty annoying by the end.
The only bad thing I can say about the hotel was the entertainment, not very 4 star.

just returned from the Ascos - first impression was " this is not a four star" more a grubby 3 star ...!!!
Our room was clean but old, cleaners did their best with regular linen and towel changes.
The fridge came in very handy as did the air conditioning - temperatures rocketed into the high 30's.
The food was fantastic - the one bad point being the staff made you feel as if you needed to gulp it down as the moment the plate was empty it was whisked away, apart from that it was fine.
No kids in the dining room meant the cakes etc were always neat, the trifle didn't look as if a bomb had hit it and the queues for food were non existant. Top class.
Drinks were ok - nothing amazing, just the usual weak local stuff.
Entertainment - Oh dear...!
The unfriendly staff didn't spoil my holiday - to be quite honest I ignored them.
The sun bathing area was top class, the gardens , pool and surrounding area are a sun worshippers paradise. at no point did I struggle for a sunbed or parasol, there were at least 40 spare every day. A quiet corner could always be found. A massive bonus was the adult only theme ... peace and tranquility at all times.
No need to take towels for sunbathing - the maids gave us two very large orange towels each.

We stayed at this hotel on all inclusive package for 1 week. The cleanliness of the hotel we thought was excellent, our room had regular towel and linen change and was cleaned round every day. Hotel food had a large buffet style of hot and cold food a wide variety which we enjoyed every time. Hotel location was a 10 min walk from small strip of shops and restaurants which were good, and the transport system was excellent (you could get into the centre of paphos for 50p). We found most of the staff friendly but some struggled to raise a smile. The only downside was the lack of evening entertainment, but we went out most nights anyway so it didnt bother us to much. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it here .

The Ascos Coral Beach was advertised as a 4 star hotel. Not in our opinion was it anywhere near reaching that standard. 2 star yes, certainly not 4.
The lobby area on arrival was clean, but as soon as we took the lift to our floor (1st)and alighted, we were greeted by badly stained, dirty carpets. We arrived at our room, to find that it smelled strongly of smoke, the floor was filthy, and the patio doors had not been cleaned.
The food was of a reasonable standard but very repetitive, not a great choice.
The outside pool area was clean and in good order, the pool clean throughout our stay of 14 days.
The staff, in our and others opinions were miserable, had no time for their customers, and in some instances were downright ignorant and abrasive, totally different to Cyprots that we've met before.
The entertainment team, consisting of two girls did their best, but unfortunately as a 4 star hotel, it should have been better.If you like bingo, you'd love the entertainment, as it was on every night.
If you didn't want to drink the local brews and opted for a branded name, the prices were extortionate.
All in all, we had a pleasant stay, but we had to be satisfied with, in our opinion a below standard hotel.
The hotel also boasts a no children below the age of 16, whilst we were there, we saw a number of young children, both in the pool and in the restaurants. They may well of been guests, but the fact that there were children in and around the hotel negates the hotels claims of adults only.

We visited the Ascos Beach between the 18th July 04 and the 2nd August 04. The hotel was clean and the maids cleaned our room every day, the towels were changed every other day as was the bed linen. The food was good but a little bit repeatative over the two weeks. The location was Ok. There was a local bus route at the top of the hill that took you into Paphos. There were local supermarkets on the strip with a selection of bars, restuarants and shops.
Although there was no sandy beach, water sports were available down heart attack hill, this being were the annex is situated (don't stay there if poss, unless you are a keep fit fanatic). The hotel staff were a little miserable to say the least, however it soon came to light why!!! There were a couple of Slovakian(?) drinks waiters who were really friendly and got on with the guests really well. Unfortunately two days before we were due to leave they were sacked for talking to the guests. So we are convinced that the locals are miserable due to not wanting to put their jobs on the line.
The entertainment - what can we say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give Grace and Jess their due, they did their best under the circumstances - but unfortunately the highlight was Bingo, or other guests performances.
We wouldn't visit this hotel again as we have now been twice and to be honest would expect a little more in the way of entertainment for a 4 star hotel.

However if you are lucky enough to stay in "Lawson Towers" room 369 you get a megga sized room with an over sized balcony - our fortunate friends were lucky
enough to get this room (the best in the hotel).
Lastly we would like to say how nice Andreas the pool barman was - a definate gentleman who knows his job inside out.
Lastly but not least the highlight of our stay - no kids - absolutely wonderful!!!!!!

The Ascos Beach is not a four star Hotel. Yes, the food was good but not varied enough. The staff were miserable most of the time except the barman at the Lounge Bar. This rubbish about wearing long trousers for dinner should not apply to a Hotel of this standard. I managed to get in one night in a pair of threequarters but they got quite arsey about it.
The entertainment was rubbish! The room was adequate but needed tidying up.
The best bit was no kids and the weather was superb.
Also, the village was 10 minutes walk away and we found 2 really good restaurants and ate at them on the nights that the Dinner menu did not appeal.

We just got back yesterday, and we really had a good time we stayed a week and met up with our friends that went the week before as they were staying 2 weeks. The food was absolutly fabulous my waistine has expanded!! The hotel may as well been 3 star not 4 as standard was not what I expected. The pool was fantastic but needed some maintinance on part of the edges as my friend cut his finger badly and hotel staff were not very helpful about it, they had no first aider at all, although there was a notice by the pool saying swim at your own risk.
The staff at the restaurant were pleasant, but the bar staff were not they were miserable as if they didnt want to be there. But thought the older gentlemen at the pool bar during the day was very polite.
Its great that no children were allowed at this hotel certain time of the year which made it more enjoyable.
The evening entertainment was very bad although we enjoyed the bingo, (even though we are in our 30's) that should be improved for the rating of the hotel!!
Our rooms were ok, nothing exciting but comfortable and loved the air con!! Maids not very generous with the coffee, and milk when they cleaned room, only kept leaving loads of sugar and no milk and maybe the odd sachet of coffee! Thank goodness our friends didnt drink coffee we pinched theirs.
The reception staff were very polite and friendly, but we really enjoyed our stay would go again!!

During the two weeks stay they tidied up the gardens, cut the trees, installed new parasols around the pool and generally started to make vast improvements to the hotel grounds.
Entertainment staff were very friendly and entertainment was great during the day, but although they did their best to entertain us in the evening the Hotel should have employed more suitable entertainment for a 4* hotel. The highlight of the evenings was Bingo!
Staff were very efficient and apart from the reception staff, Andreas on the pool bar and one or two others, they had miserable faces and looked thoroughly fed up and found it difficult to raise a smile. They failed to adhere to the universal language ie: "a smile".
FOOD WAS EXCELLENT - so much choice and superb quality.

We stayed at the hotel for 1 week and had a great time.The food was good, and the room was lovely overlooking the sea and the huge pool. The best night food wise was the BBQ just sitting outside to eat made it feel like we were on holiday.We thought the entertainment staff were good well done Liam Franky Vicky and Mandi you entertained us anyway and carried on even though they were all ill. Andreas(the bartender at the pool) was great and always friendly. The only staff that we found rude were the girls at the bar in the evening but we just laughed it off in the end. The weather was fab and we had a great time got a good tan and came back with new friends and a great memory and we are going back next year but for two weeks !!!! Great holiday
