This five-star hotel doesn't have the panache of the island's new ultra-luxe hotels but it does offer comfortable stylish rooms in a palatial building, attentive service, an excellent spa, great children's facilities, beautiful gardens and a lovely setting on a picturesque rugged coastline. The architecture has been influenced by the Byzantine era so expect grand columns and arches, heavy dark-wood doors, ornate goddess statues, pretty fountains and mosaics and local honey-coloured stone. A huge lagoon-style pool with a central island and sun loungers provides a dramatic centrepiece, plus you're right next door to the UNESCO Tomb of the Kings and close to the Akamas national park and picturesque Paphos harbour, with its fabulous mosaics in the Archeological Park.
A complimentary hotel bus, which operates twice daily, takes you into Paphos Market and the harbour. It saves on car hire or taxis.
It's a 20-minute walk to Paphos old town, where you can see the castle, archeological site and House of Dionysus.
By plane: flights from London to Paphos take 4 hours 30 minutes. The hotel is a 25-minute drive from the airport. Free on-site parking. skyscanner.net
Anyone who wants to relax in beautiful surroundings and comfort without the luxury price tag will enjoy it here. It's popular with groups and families. We loved the goddess statues, plant-filled grecian urns and mosaics that delight us at every turn in the hotel.
The large heated indoor pool is perfect for a morning dip during winter months.
