Hotels near Playground, Paphos

I am writing this review as my partner wrote another one completely accurate in April and just today got a response from the restaurant adding even more lies to the story. First of all I am no “escort”, I’m the partner of the person who wrote the review and as we wrote it together I must point out there wasn’t any kind of “miscommunication” and everything happened as she stated in her review. Second of all, the money was not the issue. My partner was the one who gave them the total amount of the bill without complaint, just so we could leave from that unwelcoming place, while I was still trying to have a conversation in Greek with the manager to clarify about why we had that charge of 16€ for “FOOD”, which we didn’t order. So once again they lied, this time about us not paying the bill. Third of all, I NEVER had a conversation with the manager accepting any other salad, I was only told that the mixed grill was going to take 20 minutes at the same time they brought the salad and bread, which in the menu was stated that it was included in the mixed grill, so we didn’t question it and there was no way for us to know they were bringing “gifts” (that we were then charged for obviously) or any other different or bigger amount of food (as they say) instead of what was included in the mixed grill that we ordered. Another lie they said in the reply to my partner’s review is that we were offered other extra stuff… For the record: we weren’t offered that extra halloumi that they mention nor they offered any “desserts on the house”. We are shocked and literally can’t understand why they keep on adding more and more lies to the story when nothing of that actually happened. It was a mistake from their side to not inform us about what they were bringing if it wasn’t what we ordered and then play fools when we asked what was the charge of the 16 extra euros for. We paid the amount and we never even mentioned we were not going to pay for it so we’re a bit confused of why and how they have the guts to lie also about that in the reply. We’re telling the story how it happened just for other people to not make the same mistake as us and also for the establishment to improve on this issue of not informing about what they are or are not serving as we know it has happened to more people and we’re not the only ones. We’re literally not asking for any compensation now and we also didn’t ask for it when it happened. If they think the problem was the money: it wasn’t. Our problem was never about how much to pay but what we were paying for and how they were (and still are) completely dishonest with the situation and with the way they tried to get more money from us without any logical explanation. But anyway we already reported them when it happened to the pertinent consumer and tourism department and from our side everything is clear. The only ones damaging the image of their so old and recognized business are themselves.

Excellent quality / price ratio Clean and complete apartment of all tools , fast check-in and really nice and available staff. I absolutely advise both the island and the accommodation , excellent reference for visits of different kinds : cultural , relax, etc The shower would be a little revised in my opinion .. Thank you all the staff

Just come back from a fab week at this hotel. If you want a complete chilled out time this is the Hotel for you. All the staff are a credit to this hotel and make your stay so special. Sending you all out love and thanks and hopefully see you again 😍

The breakfast is rich. The hotel is close to the sea, and it's quite beautiful to watch the sunrise in the sea view room. It has convenient parking. It's suitable for trips of families, parents and children as well as couples. The coastal running track is behind the hotel, which is very convenient for morning exercises. A marine project service point is conveniently located nearby.

Breakfast super buffet everything delicious, and corresponds to the price-performance ratio, for dinner a restaurant VIVA CYPRUS is very RECOMMENDED nearby. Great location. In Paphos the buses are bad, please rent a car immediately, it's cheap 10-20 €/day... the taxis are expensive and they screw every pig... So please rent a car. Staff: I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are the best... Always helpful and very human... My wife did not feel well during the holiday and went to the hospital. They allowed me to take breakfast to go for my wife and a delivery box prepared for this... That was really great. Cons : the hotel is a bit old and the facilities need to be updated but that's easily ignored when you have such a great friendly staff. Sauna against 7€ extra which is also disadvantageous in my opinion. So in a big goose the hotel is very good and I book there again and again 😁. Greetings from Chaban family

Overall it was a nice hotel with a good pool and the food was tasty. We were bed and breakfast and decided to eat in the main restaurant (katoi) for one of the nights. On the large restaurant booking screens we saw there was an a la carte menu with lots of reasonably priced meals (circa €15) so planned to have this. When we turned up they said there was only the buffet available (€33) which was quite expensive, but we couldn’t go anywhere else in the hotel as it all needed pre booking. The staff had never heard of this menu. When we checked in with our toddler we were hoping there would be a cot in the room already. There wasn’t so we called for one, which we were told would be right there. An hour later nothing had turned up, so we rang again and were told it would be there after we returned from dinner. When we got back there was a bed being set up which was totally unsuitable. We had to ring again by which time it was ages after her bedtime.

We have come back from a wonderful 10 days all inclusive holiday at this fantastic hotel. It is hard to know where to start, but I think I will start with the staff. Bear in mind we went from August the 13th -23rd, so towards the end of season. Ordinarily this is when exhausted staff are struggling to be enthusiastic. Not so here. Irene,Dimitrius, Andreaus (misspelt), Sara our housekeeping person, Aphrodite ... I could go on to every member of staff there. They were so friendly, knowledgeable, fun and helpful. Our son loved every second of his time and was well looked after as were we. The food was really good. Remember this is a 3 star hotel but the quality was very high. All inclusive is on a buffet basis and the theme changed every night. I loved the Cypriate and greek evenings but oriental was also good. Breakfast is very varied with something for everyone. The food is replenished constantly so no dried out eggs in site. The selection of drinks available in all inclusive is really good, but there is also a happy hour in the evenings so drinks not in the all inclusive are only €3.50 for a cocktail. The room was large and comfortable...and quiet. There is air conditioning at no extra charge. We took a media server with us so had a couple of movie evenings in the room as it was close to 40 degrees outside. There is a really well priced shop on site..again really friendly. There is live music or bingo most evenings. Kids are entertained by the energetic and very fun Eddie. Our son loved the table tennis, boulle, water polo and volley ball. Eddie also doubles up to do an evening music quiz. The hotel itself is lovely with a great restaurant, stunning views, lovely bars and lovely pools (one is for the executives that we didn't go in but looked nice). We did not have an issue getting a sun bed. The hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere, and housekeeping takes great pride in making sure every area is perfect. The hotel is on the sea, but it is a rocky area not sand. However it has a massive tidal pool that has fish swimming in it, and it is easy to swim out. The 615 bus takes you to coral bay in 10 minutes or Corralia bay (our preference) in 15 minutes if you like stunning beaches. It is also a short hop to Paphos and all the attractions there. Tombs of the kings is a highlight. We loved it here and will be back. What a find!

I was lucky enough to spend my birthday with my husband at this amazing resort! The architucture of the place leaves you breathless! The rooms are big, comfortable in every way, with wall to ceiling windows and with all amenities. Excellent food; smiling and helpful staff, faultless mamagement; but most of all,the spa is probably the best we've been to in Europe and Asia! Do not miss this experience!!

The overall impression is positive. Very convenient location, especially for those on the car: there is a parking, it is right on the big road. Inside there is a restaurant. We have a three-bedroom room paid for the ball, but no breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, as the cafe doesn't work, so we asked for a change instead of reimbursement. The room is clean, but furniture and repairs already require upgrades. The room has a stove, a teapot, a refrigerator, air conditioners working for heat. To the sea by car 5 minutes. The pool is clean but no one was swimming in it in the winter. On the other hand, several cafes and shops where you can buy food and cook in the room. Neighbours were a little noisy as they drank a lot and had fun, noise in rooms is bad. However, the rooms themselves are large enough . We had a combined room with a living room and one bedroom. Plus there was a beautiful balcony with a chic view.
