Athena Beach hotel is reasonably located about 2 miles from Paphos centre (

Hotel lovely and clean.

Breakfast buffet excellent,loads to choose from.
Hotel in quiet area but not too far from lots of restaurants and bars.

Staff very friendly, love children.

Not much entertainment but didn't worry us too much as we went out in the evenings.

Not anything for children though,unless they like swimming all day!! Third time to hotel and will always go back.

We visited the Athena Beach in October 2004.

The Hotel was rated as 4 star and had a good degree of cleanliness. We elected to go for the sea view room and I would recommend this to anyone, the views are spectacular. The rooms are adequate with a King Size bed, refrigerator, safety deposit box, iron, hair dryer, air con, TV etc. The Balcony is small(ish) with room for two chairs and a small table.

The breakfast was up to the usual 4 star hotel standard with plenty of choice. We had two meals in the hotel (theme nights), the choice was excellent and the food was delicious.

The hotel is situated far enough from the hustle and bustle of Paphos Harbour but not too far that you could not take a gentle stroll or catch the number 11 or 15 bus to the Harbour or Coral Bay.

The pools and gardens are well maintained and the space available is perhaps the hotels biggest selling point.

The Beach is a bit of a disappointment, shingly sand and a very rocky entry into the water, there are two jetties that you can use if you are confident swimmers.

The staff were in the main very accomodating but there were some who did not have a good command of English and therefore were not very helpful.

There is entertainment of sorts every evening and we found the Barbecue and Greek Dancing Evening to be very entertaining.

I would not recommend the entertainment for the younger generation.

Would I visit this hotel again, a most definite yes.

We went to Paphos, first time in Cyprus and really had a good time.

Location and style of hotel excellent if, like us you don't want much in the way of entertainment and like to be a bit away from all the bars etc. When booking, request and pay extra for a full sea view room, unfortunately we didn't realise this and faced the road which was not as nice.

Pool areas are lovely and the strawberries served for an extra cost in the afternoon are well worth it. Plenty of area to sunbathe, and if someone is annoying there are plenty of opportunities to move!

Didn't eat in hotel any evening, but found some really great restaurants. Breakfast was O.K and pretty much how you would expect for a four star. Although I normally prefer a five star hotel, we had a really great, relaxing week with hot temps and hardly a cloud in the sky.

This hotel is wonderful. Our rooms were on the ground floor and had a small patio area in front with loungers and umberellas etc.

The gardens are immaculate and are patrolled by security staff to ensure non-residents do not use the facilities and that children are obeying the pool rules (no lilos or too much splashing).

The food was fantastic, great variety, presentation and as much as you wanted. Different themed evenings meant we dined outside around the pool on certain evenings - couldn't fault anything.

Not a beach as such - a pontoon if you wanted to enter the sea, otherwise too rocky. However the pool didn't disappoint. Entertainment was average - available also in adjacent hotels.

It was obvious that most guests had visited the hotel before and returned year after year. First Class!!

It is a short journey from the airport and mainy attractions.The hotel is situated right on the beach.As you walk from the pool there are lovely gardens so you get a choice of sunbathing near the pool, the gardens or the beach. A short walk away will take you to the water sports and i recommend the centre near the amathus beach hotel. It is just a short, cheap bus ride to the harbour. In the hotel you have a supermarket which has reasonable prices. There is also a hair and beauty salon and a stylish gym. You can also find a games room with a computer. Around the hotel there are a few restraunts and a few bars. There is also another supermarket opposite the hotel.

The rooms were of a good size. The one we was in was for 2 people but we managed to fit 3 in with lots of space left over. The bathroom was a very good size with a bath/shower. The balcony was of a good size. THe room came with a mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilites, air conditioning, safe, tv, hair-dryer,etc. The plugs are the same as England. I recommend a pool/sea view on a high floor which you can request by email.

There are lots of swimming pools. One of which is inside. There is also a water shoot which is of a good size and is fun for kids to play on.THere is a big pool which has 2 jacquzzi's in it. The other 2 are a childs pool and a deeper pool.

The food was brilliant in the hotel. In the morning there was a large selection of breakfast.THey ran from around 7-10. You could choose from a fry up to fish and cakes.You can have freshly squeezed orange juice which you have to pay for but its worth th The snack bars also had a large selection of food & drink for during the day. In the afternoon near the pool they would have strawberries, ice scream and cream. It is delicous so try it.

The hotel staff were friendly, helpful. The maids left our rooms spotless when we came up in the afternoons. The bar staff and receptionists were always there to help you.

There wasn't alot of entertainment but there was theme nights but there was none that caught our large family groups eyes.There was no need to worry because there was so much to do outside the hotel. For entertainment outside the hotel, as i am a teenager i recommend the go kart centre which is a short walk away. One day during the week the local market is open you can get from designer bags to pottery. Near the market you can also find shops that we have back here like next etc. The hotel is mainly english people so there is no trouble meeting friends of all ages.

I would definatley come back to this hotel, and would recommend it to anyone. A warning is it gets VERY hot, even in July, and we had no clouds or rain.

The hotel was nice and in a good location with a nice walk into the centre of town. We had booked a superior room and I have to admit I don't think it was worth the extra money. The main thing I believe it gives you is a sea view (which was nice) and an extra large balcony with 2 sunbeds, however the balcony is pretty sheltered and no breeze really gets to it so gets far too warm. The room we were given for a late check-out was not a superior room but was the same size and had the same amenities as our "superior" room. The amenities in the rooms were TV, A/C, Fridge, Iron/Iron board, Safe, Tea/Coffee making facilities.

All of the staff were pleasant and helpful although the service in the bar at night could be a little slow.

The gardens and pool area at this hotel are fantastic. It is a big hotel but there is plenty of space for everyone I don't think I've ever been to a place with so much space.

We only ate at the hotel on 2 occassions. There was a huge selection and the it is all buffet style so you pick what you like, however the first time we ate there we found that some of the food was a bit on the cool side. The second time we went in at 18:30 on the dot when it just opened and the food was hot. As we were there on a B&B basis there was a charge of

Superb hotel excellent service. Reception staff very helpful. Bathrobes,slippers,soap and shampoo,beach towels provided. Food excellent with plenty of choice and always hot.
Sunbeds always available either around pool or under palm trees overlooking the beach.

30 minute walk to harbour along path above the beach.

Strawberries and cream in pool area at 3.00 p.m. a real treat.

Stayed in this hotel the hotel is fine not totally what i expected from the reports.

Food ok but I would go b and b and eat out in the other areas surrounding the hotel

As you go out of the hotel to the right there is nothing but 1 bar/1 restaurant/1 bank and 1 supermarket but plenty to the left

The strawberries and cream menitoned morning and lunch are extremely expensive 3.50 daily at lunch???

There is buidling work at the back to the right which was not mentioned and we paid for a sea view and got side sea view

The staff were ok

When getting in taxi order at reception and then when you get in confirm price , most can speak english and they were lovely

Market in Paphos open every day 6 till 1 except Sunday

Water park does not open till May so that was a shame as I had a teenager

The holiday was relaxing and nice

Go to the tomb of the kings, go to the harbour thats lovely

Have a nice time

This hotel was recommended by a friend - really lived up to its recommendation. Paid extra for a superior romm (fantastic - extra large balcony) - superior hotel, excellent food, not too far away from Kato Paphos (nice walking distance), staff all spoke perfect english and were always extremely helpfull. Cannot praise the hotel enough. Came home and booked again for August this year and taking all my adult family again in May 2005. Highly recommended.
