The only good thing about this resort is the quiet and calm of the place. The rooms are very minimal, small TV from 15 years ago, not much space in room, WiFi that barely works, no room service. We were put in a room with a buzzing electricity sound that was only resolved 6 hours after we complained when we were moved to another room. The most disappointing part was the spa, which should have been the best part. We felt like we were rushed through the whole experienced, didn’t even get the chance to experience the pools. We ordered a 65 minutes massage but only received a 45 minute massage and had to fight with reception to get the correct price (which never happened). I would not recommend this place if you truly wish a relaxing and accommodating resort and staff.

Superb Accommodation and Spa
The Staff are super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the whole ambience of the place. Set in the hills between Paphos and Polis the hotel grounds are tree lined and peaceful. We had a garden bungalow with bedroom, bathroom and lounge, it was very clean and very tranquil. The Spa facilities are excellent and Roxanna on reception was exceptional in her explanations. Finally, the food was great, lovely breakfast which is self service but hot dishes off the menu. Dinner is well presented and very tasty. Thanks to Soula, Mirka and Melina and the rest of the staff who were so professional and kind in the restaurant.

The hotel was just ok. Nothing special. Didnt like the spa which is included with the stay. The water of the pools was not warm enouph and the room of the pools was cold as well. We didnt get robes as its only for guests that pay for treatments. Kinda weird.. The dinner was just ok.

Very nice hotel, with very tasty food in restaurants and very good staff! Spa center is also good with 3 different small swimming pools. Only problem is that weekends is very busy and Sauna is not very big but is for free. For steam bath you need to pay. If you are going is better to book some massages.

Everything is as expected at the hotel, food was good, facilities good. We just had a terrible smell of damp or sewerage in our bedroom, coming from the bathroom. It was awful and got worse throughout the night. Complained to reception when we first got there, they offered us a standard room with no compensation or a prestige for 40 euros, as strong wasnt that bad at this time we stayed in spa suite. Worst decision we could of made.

This place is charming and simply beautiful! But the stay was troublesome: bad smell in the bathroom, next day room change - much smaller, ants in the bathroom as a gratis. This was sprayed next morning, but the insects returned. Going under the shower after the dinner - no hot water. Waited for some time - no water! Reception admitted there's an issue and tech team was on that. Feeling sorry that no one advised hotel guests. You get kettle, minibar and bathrobe only in the suites, not in the rooms. Gym opening hours - 9-18, which I've found very limited. It was my 3rd stay at this property and I won't be back soon. Came back tired from the spa hotel and that's not cool. Have a feeling that hotel staff don't care at all - the place will be full anyway. Restaurants and their staff are great though - best part of the stay!

Love the location and the hotel ensemble. The most relaxing place on the Earth. Superb dining (although it's a tradition, hearthy Cypriot cuisine, not light bites) and free parking. Loved the spring (included in the price only if specified in your room rate/package description, otherwise fee is 45€ pp). The suite was just great - 2 rooms, big bathroom (no heating though), big veranda and spa jacuzzi bath with sulphur water! Amazing relaxation even in a cold winter. Very nice gym and thousands of walks around the property. To be recommended.

Pros: * Amazing location, landscape and hotel itself (old monastery, charming greenery, beautiful pool (sweet, not sulphur water). * Many walking trails in area * Restaurant happy to accommodate vegetarians and food allergy requests Quiet. Most of the guests are young couples, virtually no kids. Cons: * Bathrobes only in suites. Won't get one even if you ask in case you stay in the room. * No minibar & kettle. * Food tasty, but not healthy at all (meat based, fried, etc). Don't expect spirulina, avocado, etc but typical, heavy Cypriot dishes. Again, tasty and well cooked, but not detox menu. * People smoking at the restaurant (and everywhere). * Unless explicitly said, your room won't give you access to sulphur pools in the spa. Regular price is 45€ (22.5€ on weekday or when you book a massage). * Gym opening hours very limited (9-18). Impossible to workout before the breakfast. * Sulphur pools need maintenance. Half of the things (jacuzzi beds, hydro massage) don't work. * Only sauna is open for hotel guests. Steam rooms are only for extra treatments. * Hotel staff (especially front desk) is all but warm and smiling. Nicer people at the restaurant, however not all of them speak English very well- you receive better service if you speak Greek (like elsewhere in Cyprus). * Hotel super full on the weekends due to being popular among locals. Remember: it's accessible only by car or pre-booked pick up. You need a car if you need to get out further than neighboring village.

It as my 5th or 6th visit to the resort. What I like most about this place is the kindness of its personnel at the Hotel as well as the SPA. I still see the same employees since 2013. Moreover, the food is very nice and the place is welcoming and cosy. Thank you Lucky and Sonia for the awesome treatments. Thank you Mikkha, Denis and all the stuff at the restaurant & reception.

The hotel’s location is fantastic and ideal for relaxation! It’s not the first time I visited the hotel so I noticed that it needs major maintenance in the pool and spa area as mould has accumulated. Especially in the spa area the mould is pretty disgusting. The room had no refrigerator and it also had chipped walls and the shower curtain was full of mould as well. Furthermore, they charge you for your coffee at breakfast which is supposed to be included. Overall, is overpriced for what you get and even though I love its location I will think twice next time before booking!

Relaxing stay, very nice hotel and spa!
The stay was very nice! We stayed two nights and the room was really comfortable and clean. The breakfast and the dinner are delicious, especially the dinner main courses! The spa is a plus and we got to relax. We spent the first afternoon at the pool which is amazing. In general really good stay and hope to make it yearly! The only thing I though should be replaced daily is the water in the room.

Overall perfect 👌
For a two day break away from the Paphos area this was amazing. Pool was safe, large and quiet. Good quality sun beds and plenty of shaded areas. Stayed in a room overlooking the pool and this was lovely. Choices at breakfast were really good and catered for all tastes. Having a set meal at night was unusual but good quality and really nicely presented. Desserts ( which we normally do not have) were really good. Staff were all lovely and very accommodating. Access to the spa was easy and again we would highly rate the treatments. This was our first stay at a boutique hotel and I would have no fear recommending it to certain people for a quiet relaxing break. Apart from reception did not see the rest of the hotel as our time was spent around the pool area and our room was outside the main hotel.

Been 2 nights for my partner's birthday. Pools weren't working the first nigth, just Sauna, no access to steam room because treatments are 50 euros. We received a hydrojet for free and my partner's one was cold. No indoor pool, everything paid, so the concept of spa resort it's a bit wrong. Having a deep tissue massage for 70 euros each and was very mild, not a deep massage at all. Very very disappointing in general with the SPA.

This place was fantastic 10 years ago ... unfortunately literally nothing has changed since then. It's still good, just needs investment, the staff need hospitality 'training' .. it's not Dubai, but it's a quarter of the price! ... and that kind of makes it special.
