well what can i say about the paphessia, firstly the staff are amazing and i want to say a special thanks to purna, chek and mohammad and steve on reception and the owner nickos....anything you needed was sorted in a very short time. The hotel is situated within walking distance to to tomb of the kings, the harbour and bar street for those after a good night out. The rooms where basic but cleaned on a daily basis. while there we got talking to other couples who thought their rooms where inadequate and it may be the case that it depends on your expectations. after reading some of the reviews before we left we were nervous that it wouldnt be pleasent but we were surprised (pleasently so). the food at the hotel was basic but resonable (could get a three course dinner for €10 and the drinks at the bar ar in comparison with alot of the bars around the town... though if you walk around there are great deals.
all in all a great holiday relaxing but with the chance to have a few nights out.
thanks to all the staff for a great two weeks.!!

5 star is relative, compared to Limassol 4 seasons or Amatheeus beach hotel the Appollonia beach hotel is far off ( 3 star max) . Not for business travellers, no wire less in the room nor any other proper business services provided. Not very high standard in cleaning, my banana peel was left in the room for my entire stay. Pieces of candy was on the floor when i entered the room and reamained until the day i left. Bathroom door painted white on one side, dripping white on the sides and dirty brown on the outside. Furniture is old and used not for people with allergies for sure. Air conditioning is a strange box ( relic) from the 70ies. the carpet is probalby there since the 70s as well. Staff is very friendly but not very fluent in english ( reception). Cocktail hour was a nice treat at least, and the pool are seemed nice.
