Need to update the rooms

I have just returned from Alvida. This is not a 4 star hotel at all. The rooms smell damp, air con gave me a bad throat, staff are good. Food is not bad at all. The big thing that I did not like as soon as you check out at 12noon on the last day if you are all inc, they cut off your bands. We did not get picked up until 9pm and as I had 7 days all inc,I feel I was a bit ripped off. They need to spend some cash to bring this hotel up to 4 star.

We stayed at the Alvida 12th-19th September. The staff were all excellent and friendly. Facilities are good with nice outdoor pool and indoor pool. Be at pool early to ensure you get a sunlounger and umbrella.Room was big but perhaps a little old fashioned. Bar facilities are excellent as are the staff particularly at reception. Food in restaurant is basic and some other guests felt there should have been more variety given that this is a 4 star hotel. Overall our stay at the Alvida was an excellent experience and we would certainly recommend it to our friends and relations. Generally, we found everyone in Paphos friendly apart from one grumpy taxi driver who came from Edinburgh originally. We were embarrased about this as we are from Scotland.
Wonderful staff - lousy management

This hotel is as good as it gets without spending loads of dosh.All the waiting and bar staff are brilliant and very friendly.Shame the management team can`t take a leaf out of the staff book.If you`ve been you know who Lurch,Marti Feldman and Supermario are - if you are going you can`t miss them.Please don`t let the management put you off staying here as the staff far more than make up for it.Room options are sea view or side view and having seen both and stayed in side view i would recommend opting for this since you are not overlooked by anyone with a superb view of the pool area.A trip to Fat Mama`s is a must but don`t do lunch before since the portions are enormous and the less than 10 min walk won`t burn the calories off afterwards!Recommend the Troodos jeep safari as organised by travelcare rep.Brilliant day out especially if your drivers are Terry or Claudia.Don`t let your visit be clouded by previous negative comments on other review sites since some people would moan if the Sahara Hilton was surrounded by sand!!!!Have a good one
Excellent break here

The Avlida Hotel was excellent for a family of four. We went over the school half term and found it to be excellent value for money, heapest four star in pafos, I looked around! The food was great, the two interconnected rooms were big enough, new furniture that blended well together. We had a lovely pool view towards the pool which would looked to be very nice,
We used the heated indoor pool when the weather did not allow to use the lush main swimming pool.
Staff were lovely, the receptionists were cheerful and so were the members of the restaurant and bar team. It does make a difference to have happy staff around you. The maids also did a very good job of keeping the rooms in excellent condition, vacumed and fresh change of towels every day.
Top location. Tombs of the kings is a nice touristy place, not in the busy and noisy bar street. Good choice of pubs and bars Its a 3 minute walk to the beach across the road and the archeological site. There is a bus stop outside that goes to coral bay, the islands popular beach
Great holiday hotel

Stayed here in October AI. Honestly it was a memorable holiday
The all inclusive proper all inclusive.Ice cream available. As many measures of spirit as you like in your drink. Good variety of snacks, burgers, chips, toasties salads and a couple of pasta dishes, all served, not self service. good food had for two weeks
.
The location of the hotel is Excellent. Access to the popular coral beach resort is a 15 minute bus ride from there. The harbour is worth a visit, good for an evening stroll about 20 minures walk from the hotel The old town was about 20 minutes walk in the opposite direction.
Pool area was great, very nicely put together, sun terrace is away from the kids area that can be potentially noisy
Our room was a pool view, average to good size, clean, regular maid service,Entertainment was alright, music and a couple of shows, repeated on a weekly basis.
We paid a low price in comparison to the quality we got for our holiday which we enjoyed.
We had an excellent time at the Avlida.

We stayed here for a week: end of September to 5th of October and I have to say that we had a memorable experience - quite impressed.
The pool and surrounding areas were absolutely marvelous, the reception rooms and other public areas were kept spotless, the food was very good and the staff were extremely attentive and fast (the waiting staff).
The location is in tombs of the kings, has a bit for everybody, not for the hardcore nightlife clubbing types, stay nearer the harbour for that. Hardcore beach fans should stay at the coral bay area. Tombs of the kings is a good all-rounder.
The entertainment was ok. Nothing that you are likely to remember for the rest of your life, although the fashion show guy is really funny (not sure if it was intended!)
Excellent value for money, book closer to the departure date, its cheaper. Expect prices to drop around late September.
I would say that the price is more than right for this hotel. It is not part of the local hotel chains that have taken over the island and it has a more personal feeling.
Great hotel - will return

Had an excellent holiday there, seemed like 15 days in heaven. The rooms were cleaned daily and the A/C worked very well, which helped to feel fresh after a fun and relaxing day at the rock-tropical island type themed pool. Plenty of sun loungers to choose from after one of the managers removed the ones that were "reserved" by some other people that just threw a towel on from early morning and took off for most of the day. Its only fair really. He did this 3-4 times during our holiday.
Service was great, all the staff were very helpful, smiling, friendly and attentive, they really did seem to enjoy themselves serving and talking to us. My son (age 4) became so attached to one of the waitresses that she cried when we were checking out!
Food was good, different things for different people every night, enjoyed all of them. Greek food is cooked right and proper here, not like it is in Greek restaurants back home. I can certify that Cyprus has the best tasting watermelon there is in the med (and I have been to a lot of resorts in the med). Apart from fruits, cakes, jelly, caramel etc,. They also had a few middle-eastern looking sweets, pretty similar to the ones in Turkey.
AI was a good choice, you wouldnt believe how much money you can save when you need to drink so much in this hot climate, great value for money.
I only regret that we were committed to AI because we booked through a travel agent. My advice is to book half board, take a look around Pafos and think if you can see yourself spending a lot of time outside the hotel. if not, upgrade to AI at the hotel, it will work out cheaper and you wont miss out on any other activity - waterpark, glass bottom boat etc.- that you might like by thinking that you would be paying for AI and not using it.
Best thing about this place is that you can have ice cream with your AI (which is particularly good if you have kids like I do).
If you are going out to Pafos, take a hard look at the prices you can get elsewhere and at the Avlida, and be sure that should you book there you will feel that you've made a sound choice.
Highly recommended.
Great Hotel

Very good hotel for the price paid. I expected a much worse situation due to some reviews that we read, I was however very suprised. Our experiance here was great, loved the service from the excellent bar and restaurant staff, very friendly and helpful as much as they could. They spoke good english, and were very polite. Reception staff also did their best, although we found that our rep would tell us anything we needed most of the time (about tours and stuff) Our rooms (two, with connecting doors) were cleaned spotless daily. The only problem we had was with the minibar which was locked for two days until we asked and were given a key for it from reception at no extra charge.
swimming pool is really to die for, you can spend all of your holidays there and not want to leave.
Buffet service was ok for us, an above average selection of mostly local wines, though nothing too exceptional as we compared with restaurants in the area.
location was OK, on a quiet stroll towards the harbour there are a lot of taverns and bars, somewhat quieter than "bar street", which was really ok for us. there is a public bus service to coral bay from outside the hotel, or you can use a taxi to get there a bit faster, but it will cost you 6-7 cyprus pounds.
Overall, we had a really good break here, I am still debating if not booking All inclusive was a good idea, however, I think that this hotel has something for everyone. Dont expect to have your personal butler here at this price, but if you are looking for a relaxing break with good service and a quite convenient location, check the Avlida out.
Ehere did they get the stars?

My family arrived on the Saturday afternoon to a very plush reception, thinking all was well we checked in to our room, this is where the trouble started!
The air con didnt work properly, when it did blow out air (not cool) it smelt damp, when we complained the maid sprayed deodorant into the air con. We were cooler with the door open than with the air con on.
The staff couldnt speak English and were probably the most miserable hotel staff I have come across on any trip I have done, not once did I see any of the bar staff smile.
The food, was absolutely disgusting, mass cooked, (which I understand), nothing for kids unless you want them to eat burgers and chips for the entire stay, and that is at least an hour and a half before you can eat. Nothing for vegetarians.
Facilities, the pool was nice but when we did go to it you couldnt get a sunbed for anything, people putting towels on beds and then going out for the day.
Entertainment, absolutely a joke, and not the funny kind, I think it must have been friends of the manager who could play the Casio organ, and that is it.
we went half board and were told if we want tea and coffee making facilities in our room it would cost £3 cyp a day (about £4 sterling) I would like to know another 4 star hotel that asks for that.
So to the title of this review I ask where did they get the stars? Because it was not from an official awarding body, as far as my family and I are concerned it must have been from a Xmas cracker.
My advice to anyone going or thinking of going, think again and dont!!!
