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.

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 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 It’s a 3 minute walk to the beach across the road and the archeological site. There is a bus stop outside......

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.
