We stayed at the Pafian Sun Holiday Village on visiting Cyprus for a family wedding.
The hotel itself is in between 2 livelier resorts (Coral Bay & Paphos Town) which have a larger selection of shops & restaurants but they are both only 5 mins away by bus.
The apartments and poolside area were very clean and spacious. The staff were forever collecting empties keeping the pool area clear & tidy.
Its the first time we've gone all inclusive and I must say what great value for money it is with a great selection of meals on offer every day.
The reception & bar staff were all very friendly & helpful and the entertainment team including James, Julie, Stuie & Jamie were fantastic & kept us laughing the whole holiday. They all worked so hard keeping us entertained throughout the day @ night.

We booked the Paphian Sun for our honeymoon and after reading various bad reports we very nearly cancelled but I'm very glad we didn't.
Even though we had gone All Inclusive we had an apartment which was fully fitted for self catering. The apartment was cleaned most days as was the poolside.
We couldn't fault the food, there was always something very every taste. And as for those who have said the drinks were watered down - they're definitely not!
The entertainment team couldn't be faulted for their enthusiasm. All day every day they had activities on the go and worked really hard at night, but the evening entertainment was a little repetitive and very holiday campish, we didn't mind though!
I couldn't fault the hotel itself but it is a bit far away from anywhere else. There is a regular bus service to Paphos and Coral Bay but the buses do get very full.
All in all we had a great honeymoon and would recommend this hotel especially to families.

This was the first all inclusive hotel my family and I have stayed at.
We can't fault it at all. The area was great with it being between Paphos and Coral bay you have the best of both worlds. Even though it was near to a main road we couldn't hear any noise from it, our studio was situated next to the reception area and the music stopped at twelve midnight.
The food was excellent the staff were all very pleasant the rooms were clean and looked after, nothing was to much trouble for anyone to do.
Any problems were sorted out promptly and everyone spoke very good English. Nearly every night and day the head chef came to see if our meals were alright and if we had any complaints.
I would recommend anyone to visit this hotel, the entertainment well what can I say but wow they were fantastic while we were there they reached number one in the category for the entertaining that they did.
Out of all the resorts over the world they made us laugh and they got the holiday makers up and clapping singing and joining in with everything , fabulous people they could turn thier hand to anything.

After reading reviews on this page I nearly cancelled this holiday, I'm so pleased I didn't. Our apartment (10D)was situated around the corner from reception.
Ok,the furnishings are rather 70's but on the whole it was very clean and the maid seem to come almost every day with fresh towels and changed the bed linen every other day.
We didnt have any problems with noise, all the music was turned off by midnight.The food was good lots of choice from carvery to chinese even fresh pancakes/omelettes cooked while you wait.
The entertainment was very good (excellent). We even managed to win a superstar t-shirt each. The entertainers Julie (biggest ship in the world), Becky, Craig, James and new boy Jamie worked really hard all day every day. Some of the evening shows werent our scene but they cant please everyone all of the time.
Our son Kieron (Blazing Squad), had "the best holiday ever" making so many friends and is still in touch with most of them. Yes, its a bus ride into either Paphos or Coral Bay but we enjoyed it, and its only 70p to go anywhere.
In short I would recommend the Paphian Sun to anyone with children especially teens(maybe not singles/couples). We may even go back next year!

I've now visited this hotel twice with my family, and both times we have really enjoyed it.
The best thing about this hotel has definitely got to be the entertainment! James, Becky, Donna and Helen were the best, we got to know them personally and they are great!
They should be paid more, the supply us with entertainment through out the day and even get in the pool and join in.
The food was nice, to say I'm a picky eater I always found something to eat.
The room was tidy and kept clean, you can't go wrong.

After reading several negative reviews we were pleasantly surprised upon arrival at the Pafian Sun.
Although the food was self service (which was clear when we booked) we always found the selection to be varied & to a good standard. Sometimes if you went in towards the end of the session the food was only luke warm, there was never a meal time that you could not find something to suit.
The accomodation, pool & communal areas were all very clean. The restaurant staff were mostly faultless. The bar staff however could have been better & we found that all inclusive guests were treated with some contempt by some not all bar staff.

Stayed here for one week with 2 of our grandchildren.
On arrival we were allocated room 12h (all rooms are in clusters)as we arrived late on saturday night we just wanted to sleep but when seeing the room went straight to reception to ask to be moved (looking at a building site and a main road was not my idea of a relaxing holiday) but we were told we would have to wait until tomorrow.
Next day we were offered another room but this was worse than the one we were in and after showing the woman on reception the photos ( digital cameras are brilliant) we were promised another room by 12:00noon.
Having our first breakfast made us think we had made a big mistake as did the dinner, barely warm food does not fill you with confidence, so we went into Paphos and paid for a really nice meal and re-budgeted to eat out.
Just after dinner we were allocated another room Poolside, Excellent, the holiday then took off!
We thought we would try the evening meal to see if it would be any better, What a surprise, brilliant!
The trick is to get in early and following this rule no more problems, you are also allowed 1 meal in the
smaller restaurant each week, this was first class.
The entertainment staff were exeptional (Helen, James & Donna) I dont know how much they are paid but it isnt enough for the hard work they put in, the kids club team were great but you have to pay for this service.
Car Hire! use Avis we hired a jeep for 3 days from Atlas across the road but not only would the tyres not have been allowed back home but the drivers window fell out twice (quite windy driving back from Limasol with the window open.
We found no problems with the staff and the poolside was cleaned up frequently during the day.
Only negative was the indoor heated pool and jacuzzi
weren`t.
All in all good holiday an we would return.

The hotel exceeded my expectations. For the cost of the holiday I was very pleasently surprised. Despite being All Inclusive we had a one bedroomed apartment, which was very spacious and clean and looked out onto the sea.
There was no real beach at the hotel, just a rocky area next to the sea.
The food was of an average standard with plenty of choice.
The entertainment was fantastic. There were events throughout the day and night.
It was a long way the resort centre and there was nothing much in the vicinity-only one shop and two pubs. There was a regular bus which was very cheap though.

All inclusive is a must! The meals are lovely and the dining area is spacious and the waiters are so quick and polite. Only down side is the never ending battle trying to keep the cats out!
Hotel is so clean my gran (who I travelled with) is an early riser and told me that everything was cleaned every morning and night!
The hotel is set out of the way but that
