My partner and I booked very last minute and got a fabulous deal at this lovely hotel. The hotel itself was extremely clean, the rooms cleaned each day with fresh towels left as and when necessary. The pool was idealic with a lagoon style pool bar that enhanced the holiday feel to the place. We loved the food though were disappointed in the outside taverna restaurant of a night that you had to book. We thought it may have been a bit more restaurant style but found it was exactly the same as the buffet inside only outside!... however don't let that put you off. myself and my partner had the best holiday ever at this lovely hotel, in its lovely settings...we fell in love all over again... fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!!

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel and all its facilities. Most of the staff were charming. In the restaurant, Andreas is brilliant and keeps everything running like clockwork, the food and beverages manager was most congenial, in fact as its a leap year I think I shall propose to him! what a treasure. The pianoist was a joy to listen to, wish she had played every night, top class performance. Alex from the 'Animation team' is great fun and a professional entertainer. My room was kept clean and pretty towel arrangements on the bed, which were cleverly designed and intricate, much appreciated ladies! However,coffee/tea making facilities in the room would have been very welcome for that early morning cup of tea and then the hotel will be perfect.

Lovely holiday, weather good, food good but not a lot of choice for the children. Rooms clean staff friendly, nice pool. Drinks stop at 12 that was a down side and no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. Guests from the hotel next door used the dining arrangements during the day without paying for them when they had only booked bed and breakfast they were never challenged and this is very unfair. The evening entertainment was very poor but the bars outside the hotel were good, just as well.

Good points:
1/ Good weather.
2/ Clean hotel.
3/ Good food even if you're 'picky'.
4/ Friendly staff except miserable breakfast lot.
Bad Points:
1/ Small pool.
2/ Not enough deckchairs to go round -people sitting on the grass!!!
3/ Beach small.
4/ Evening entertainment an absolute joke -The 'Live Band' was a woman singing along to backing tracks via a keyboard, and the 'Entertainments Teams' - 'Grease', was MIMED-awful!!!
5/ Towels in the rooms, always smelt of stale dirty water.
5/ Towels in the rooms, always smelt of stale dirty water even the clean ones.
6/ 1 British Sky TV channel.
7/ Paphos not quaint at all, just very commercial. Reminded me of Frinton!
Alot of money paid for this holiday for very average so so holiday.
The biggest disappointment was the pool, terrace and lack of chairs.
The best point - the food

After arriving at the hotel we were told that there werent enough rooms for our party (64) even though we had booked 12 months in advance, so they put some of us next door which is called the Maris, and is stuck in the dark ages. We tried to get a reason out of the reception and were told to F?;. off. After 12 nights of going for dinner in my shorts I was told by the manager that I was breaking hotel rules, I explained to him that I only had 1 pair of trousers with me and he said that I was not allowed to eat in the restaurant, this was the straw that broke the camels back so I told him what I thought of his 'upper class Hotel' and he phoned the police. This hotel if run correctly would be worthy of 4 stars, because location, food and cleanliness are first rate but is severely disorganised and Thomas cook should review what is put in the brochure.

We were transfered to the cypria bay as the luara beach where we usually stay was closed for refubishment. The hotel itself was only a few years old and very clean and bright, we were all inclusive and the food was plentyful but quite boring after a few days, drinks available until midnight. As we were all inclusive we had to queue for our drinks while paying guests were given table service which made us feel like second class guests, the staff in general were friendly but we must pick out Jack who went out of his way to make our time at the falcon night club an enjoyable experience. thanks jack who by the way handled the bar on his own if he was on a day off it took two one bug bear all inclusive are not allowed large beers again second class guests. Entertainment was patchy some nights other times a poor disco with no atmosphere but the team did their best lara, martin & hichle (not sure if i got the spelling for that one) but were limited as always by resources. We would be happy to return if we couldn't get in the laura beach. Weather in jan, feb & march can be dodgy we had thunder& lightning, hailstone, gails and some sun.

My partner and I visted this hotel and found it to be exactly as it was illustrated and better. The staff couldn't do enough for you. The hotel is new and bright and exceptionally clean. Rooms a comfortable size with an excellent maid service twice a day. The food was second to none, a good variety of hot and cold dishes to suit everyone. The restaurant staff are very efficient and polite. The entertainment was not particularly good but for the time of year not bad. Would be disappointed if it were like this in the height of the season. We had a most enjoyable stay and would most definitely recommend it to others.

My partner and I travelled to Paphos in December 2005 and stayed for 7 nights. The Riu Cypria Bay hotel was great! Food was good every day, at all servings. Although the entertainment was a let down, the cleanliness of the hotel, service of staff and surroundings compensated. The hotel and the rooms are exactly the same as how they are illustrated in the brochures.
Had a partial sea view room, which was nice, views were lovely!
One and only complaint was that the room was so cold, (especially in the evening). When we complained to reception that only cold air came out of fan when turned on to heat, we were 1st told someone would have a look at the heating. 2nd time we were told by management that the heating was not turned on at this time of year, but we could have extra blankets. Still wasn't sufficient, and the 3rd time we were told that the heating system had to be first shut down for the air conditioning to be turned on, (we found out later from another guest that the heating was only on between certain hours of the day). This meant when we were in our room in the evenings sat under a couple of blankets each............. It really was that cold!!! What was worse was that when we reported this to the Thomson holiday rep, she suggested asking for more blankets, instead of informing us about the heating timer system, which would have meant heating for at least part of the day. Disappointing, and could have spoilt the holiday if we allowed it to!
Paphos weather was a let down - overcast everyday, but luckily I and my partner hired a jeep and headed to Larnaka, Nicosia or Limmasol on most days, where the weather was much warmer! Avoided the really expensive tours with Thomson, and went to most sites for a small fraction of the Thomson price! Love Cyprus! Love the People! Love the Hospitality! Next time we will make sure we go in the summer months, or check with hotel prior to leaving about heating arrangement.
