Aphrodite Beach Hotel

I’ve had two lovely holidays at Aphrodite Beach staying half board, my third stay was cancelled due to illness. I’m a solo traveller since the death of my husband, I felt very comfortable here, never awkward, the staff are always kindly and helpful. Gregoria & her children run the hotel and are around reception constantly. Yannis helped with my mobile which hadn’t picked up a local network. I arrived at night like all Birmingham flights, Yannis was there to meet me and show me to my room. A plated sandwich & water were waiting for me. Both times I’ve stayed in the block closest to the building used for Yoga etc, ground floor rooms , looking in opposite directions, no sea view but still pleasing. The rooms are simply furnished, clean with comfortable beds. No drink making facilities but I didn’t miss that, I don’t remember a fridge, aircon was adequate, bathroom was modern with a terrific shower. Terrace for sitting outside, lined curtain, I didn’t need anything else. Breakfast, always the highlight of my day did not disappoint. Two coffee machines, decent coffee, variety of teas, herbs, lemon water & juice. Buffet of fruits, yoghurt, honey, condiments, cereals, cold meat, cheese, olives, salad, breads, pastries & cakes. Plus cooked, something for everyone. There was never any significant queuing. My April stay included a lovely cake, substantial both sweet/savoury, wondered if it was an Easter tradition, not available in September. Dinner, again buffet style or à la carte, I tried both, the food was excellent, I don’t eat meat, never had trouble finding something I enjoyed. Lovely salads, but watch out for meaty bits. Desserts were cheesecakey, gateaux and milky. I did miss never seeing any traditional treats like baklava or kataifi. The reception area is comfortable, I spent time there each day usually in the company of a cat! There are a lot of cats & kittens, I found them delightful. There is no pool, but for me. part of its charm. The beach is down below, lovely water, loungers and umbrellas are supplied by the municipality & you pay as you go. The beach is pebbly, swim shoes help. There’s a cafe/bar above the beach, not sure if it’s part of hotel or not, you pay as you go. I hired a canoe, did try snorkelling, but there’s not a lot to see, more along the coast at the beach below Aphrodite.s Bath. There are no grassy grounds, there’s a scrubby area full of fruit trees, herbs & other produce, paths and seats and a small chapel. The road outside is quite busy, I didn’t fancy walking far on it, the bus stops outside, it’s only a short journey to Aphrodite’s Bath (not her birthplace!) and the Akamas National Park, great walks and views. The beach below is good for snorkelling, but I found the staff in the restaurant a charmless lot. I bussed the opposite way to Souli & Polis, walking back to Souli along the coast. Plenty of shops, restaurants and trip boats there. The hotel grounds are quiet during the day, groups on Yoga based holidays are out on excursions. If you want to see the island, you do need a car, I didn’t miss one though, I just wanted a local R & R holiday. Lots of books in reception, but mostly German. I can’t wait to visit again, I can’t recommend the hotel enough! Hopefully a bit later this year, I’ve not been able to fly in over a year over heart & eye surgeries. I love Cyprus, we visited many times as a family, then couple, staying in another local hotel, I had a miserable time there as a woman alone and thought I may never again visit. At Aphrodite Beach I have found somewhere I feel, comfortable, settled & at peace. Thank you.

A wonderful stay by the sea! Perfect location right on the beach, with beautiful views. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back! ❤️

We just spent 4 nights over the holiday weekend at this hotel. We had a superior room which was very well equipped with large bathroom, great shower, very comfortable beds, sofa, armchair, table and chairs plus large veranda overlooking the sea with table and chairs and loungers. We were very impressed by the friendliness of the owners and the cleanliness of the hotel. It is very well maintained, all the paintwork is fresh and clean and all the rooms have fly screens which is unheard of in local hotels and the WiFi is very fast. Breakfast was great and the gardens pretty with fruit trees and chickens running around. It is steps away from Best Beach. Definitely recommended and we will come again.
