We had never been to Cyprus before and used Trip Advisor to find a great place to stay. We enjoyed our stay here as the rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds are well kept and there is a convenient restaurant on premise. A real bonus for travelers is that there is a washing machine for clothes in the room. The only detractor is when adults allow their children to run rampant around the pool area as their running, splashing, and screaming can reverberate quite loudly disturbing the peace and quiet. The staff was very helpful in helping us organize a 3:30 a.m. ride to the airport.

Dianes Spa! 💆‍♀️Ladies made sure we felt comfortable during all the session. ❤️It is a must to purchase also organic, home made candles, they smell so nice and will always remind you of this nice and relaxing time at the Spa.

“Nice apartment, underwhelming spa, location okay if you can walk far”

The apartment was nice and compact. Great to have bathtub, kitchen, sofa+tv and big bedroom with comfortable bed (a bit hard mattress for my husband, i thought it was fine but i can sleep anywhere.)

The apartment was nice and compact. Great to have bathtub, kitchen, sofa+tv and big bedroom with comfortable bed (a bit hard mattress for my husband, i thought it was fine but i can sleep anywhere.) Quiet at night, just some kids running in the hallways sometimes. Balcony a bit disappointing, thought we ordered a room with sunbeds on the terrace, but was only a cafe set and in the shade all day. The outdoor pool area was nice, nice communal sunbeds of wood, but very few (15 maybe?). Was there when it was not so busy and weather not so warm yet, so could easily get sun beds now, but probably not when it gets warmer. Outdoor pool was closed, will open soon later in april. Cute cats everywhere, and they were fed. People in the reception were very friendly and helpful. They offered nice guided bus tours, we went on a great one called 100% cyprus, can easily recommend doing that. Indoor spa was open every day until 20:00. Was a bit disappointing. Small jacuzzi (occupied when i was there, could not try it). Indoor pool was chilly, meant for exercising i think, not relaxing in warm water. The two saunas (dry and steam) were small. Dry sauna only fit 2-3 people, steam sauna 6 people maybe. Strong moldy smell in womens showers and steam sauna. Black mold floating in the bottom, in the shower by the sauna. Location was a bit isolated. Had to walk 30 minutes to the harbor or to old town, through areas with mostly bad walkability and bad for wheelchair users (tall sidewalk edges and no slopes down in the intersections). Bad to bicycle, no bicycle lanes and very narrow sidewalks, have to bicycle in traffic and cars in Cyprus drive super fast even in calm neighborhoods - people drove at 60 km/h past restaurants and shops with tight sidewalks and people on the sidewalks right next to the cars! Theres metal poles everywhere along the sidewalks, to protect pedestrians from cars, but some places like in old town the side walks are very narrow. Walkability is very bad in Paphos, very few pedestrian-only streets, cars have access almost everywhere. Since i can't walk far, and Paphos is mostly made for cars, we had to take a taxi everywhere from this hotel, and that got a bit expensive (10-15 euros to anywhere inside Paphos, 100 euros to other cities, for a big car that could fit my wheelchair). So the hotel itself was nice, but the location means i will probably not return here. And Paphos was not that unique or exciting, been there done that, once is enough.

Elysia Park overall is a lovely complex, we had an enjoyable stay with a few minor issues. Pros: it is a genuinely beautiful complex: well designed, exceptionally clean and our room was well decorated, again very clean in addition to having all the basics we needed for our stay. The bed was comfortable which is always a bonus. The complex has multiple amenities such as an excellent pharmacy, a well stocked grocery store, 2 gyms and our check in experience was unproblematic. The site also has several lovely friendly cats roaming around, which we really enjoyed! The Cons: the noise levels unfortunately were a difficulty. We visited off season so expected it to be reasonably quiet, however one set of neighbours enjoyed taking and laughing loudly on their balcony until the early hours, and another neighbour was clearly doing some construction because constant drilling and hammering started at around 8am and continued all through the day and into the evening. The staff were generally very nice, although one thing my partner observed was the male reception staff member speaking to his female colleague aggressively and rudely. This was inappropriate and uncalled for, and not something we expect to see in a professional environment. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would likely stay here again, however it would be good if they extended their ‘quiet hours’ and enforce them.
