“Akti Beach in March for fun and relaxation in the sunshine”

All of the staff were excellent. The cleaners, reception, the restaurant and bar staff. Always friendly and helpful. Thank to Sara and the rest of the entertainment team for making us feel very welcome and putting on a lot of nice things to do. This helped to create the friendly atmosphere between guests which was good. In March the sun was lovely but it could also be windy an temperatures dropped rapidly at sunset, so bring a hoodie or similar. If you want a spring break in the sunshine, Akti Beach is the place for you.

“The purrfect hotel!”

We have just spent a week at the Akti Hotel and for a three star hotel, this should be a five! It’s immaculately clean, friendly staff, lovely rooms with a comfortable bed and fridge in the room!

We have just spent a week at the Akti Hotel and for a three star hotel, this should be a five! It’s immaculately clean, friendly staff, lovely rooms with a comfortable bed and fridge in the room! All toiletries are provided and a complimentary bottle of water. Tea and coffee is refilled each day too. Clean sheets and towels changed daily. Plenty of room to sunbathe, so no need to run for your beds! Breakfast is good, although could be a laid out better as the aisles are narrow and often people are queuing for coffee and it’s a squeeze to get by. Also, there is a great little mini mart right outside the door! Good price too! So all in all great! Please do me a favour though if you stay here… say hello to Dawn who feeds the beautiful stray cats every day and has done for the last ten years!! Whatever the weather! They are so friendly! It’s costs Dawn a fortune to care for these cats. She gets zero help and pays for all their treatment! I’m just helping her set up her own charity page. But meanwhile, pop down and say hello and give a love to a cat or two if you are like me and a cat lover! And if you have any scraps from breakfast, lunch or dinner, take them to the wall for the cats. Thank you!

Arrived Fri 12 April for 10 nights at Akti Beach Hotel and had requested a ground floor apartment due to mobility issues. On arrival our room was as requested and had a separate bedroom. Balcony was also large which got the sun in the afternoons. Found it easy to get around using just a walking stick as very flat. Very pretty and if able could walk along one way to Paphos or other way to Coral Bay. Used the shuttle bus to Paphos. Staff very friendly and when I asked for a cocktail suitable for a diabetic the bar manager kindly came over and sorted ones out for me. Managed to play French Boules and Shuffleboard which was put on by Mr Q one of the entertainment staff. Very friendly guy. Entertainment was as you would expect abroad with mini disco for children, bingo and visiting acts including a very good entertaining guitar player and singer. Food was good even for myself who is very fussy with an excellent breakfast choice. Everywhere so clean. Plenty of sunbeds put out on the grass area overlooking the sea.

We stayed at Akti Beach April 2024 for 12 nights, a family of 4 in a 1 bedroom apartment (number 108). We enjoyed our holiday very much and found Akti Beach to be a great base. The location is lovely set on the coast with a lovely cove great for swimming and snorkeling a stones throw from your sun bed (which we never had to fight for!). The food was of a reasonable standard overall and we all enjoyed our meals. The deserts were the usual all inclusive tray bake sponge offerings which I don't like, but occasionally there were some rather nice cakes. The complex is clean and tidy, the pools were clean. Drinks are proper strength. The cocktail bar is table service in the evening which was a nice touch and the staff were continually checking if anyone had an order to place. In comparison to other all inclusive hotels, the evening entertainment was pretty good and the daytime activities were available for those who wanted to join in but not pushed upon you if you didn't. My only criticisms are: 1. Our bathroom was grotty...not grotty as in dirty, but old and mouldy with a shower curtain that wasn't long enough, resulting in the floor being soaked every night...it didn't make for a nice bathing experience, I just wanted yo get in and out as fast as possible. Staying in the bathroom...the shelf above the sink, beneath the mirror....why do they do that? If I hit my head on it once, I must have hit it a hundred times! Housekeeping did a mediocre job, they changed towels as and when requested and emptied bins daily, but we had to ask for fresh sheets after 7 nights, which was done straight away, but apparently should be done every 3 nights. They were not changed again during our stay. The floors in the apartment were mopped every day, but didn't appear to have been swept first, so every couple of days I would borrow a broom off the cleaning trolley and do it myself ( I have 2 long haired daughters and mine falls out terribly so it was very evident). 2. There are not enough staff in the restaurant to turn tables around quickly enough. They were concentrating on inside the restaurant and not getting to the tables outside (where I would much rather eat on a nice evening). I quickly located the cutlery drawer and cleaning equipment and would simply clear plates and glasses onto another table and wipe it and lay it out for us myself . Did I complain about these things? No. I don't ho on holiday to get her up over things, but did it just take the edge off? A bit yes. If it hasn't been for those things it would have been a 5 star review. One thing that I was thrilled about was they managed to deliver what I consider to be the holy grail in a bedroom....a dressing table, with a mirror and light, with a plug socket next to it! Why many hotels can't get that right I'll never understand, so well done Akti beach on that front! There are a number of cats who live in the complex, they are fed by a volunteer lady daily and their presence didn't bother me at all. We didn't feed them, but some people did. The smallest cat took a shine to my eldest daughter and came for cuddles regularly, but the others just mooched around. All in all we had a great holiday and no one wanted to come home. Bear in mind reviews are personal, and what bothers one person won't bother another.
