Aloe

Firstly I would like to start by saying the staff at Aloe were lovely and very helpful! We enjoyed our time staying at Aloe but a few little things lowered the rating for us! The air conditioning needs a major update even when it was on in our room we were still hot and sweating! The lobby had barely any air conditioning at all and the bar only turned the air con on in the evening seamed to be after 3-4pm which left it warm during the afternoon if you came in from the sun to cool off! But after it was turned on I have to say it was lovely and cool! The hotel itself needs a revamp its old and outdated in all areas and bedrooms but clean! Only issue we had was our room had little ants in it after two days but they did come (after two phone calls to reception) deep clean the room, change all the linen and spray it daily after that and the issue was resolved! Plugs was another issue there simply was not enough in room 163 we only had two available if we wanted to keep the fridge plugged in (which for me is essential as I had medication to store in it) a double plug bedside each bedside locker would have been ideal! Beds were comfortable but could have done with better more voluptuous pillows according to my partner... not an issue for me as I always bring my own pillow! Excellent shower... I thought to look at the shower head at first glance it was going to be awful but I was very pleasantly surprised! Bathroom was small but adequate for our needs! Nice fluffy towels and the cleaners were happy to give me an extra large towel for my hair! The cleaners were lovely, helpful and very friendly! I had a vacuum bag with me for my pillow that I needed suctioned the morning I left the cleaner lady was so lovely so took the hoover to me so I could suction the air out of the bag! The food was average! Breakfast I was disappointed there was not more fruits such as berries, pineapple etc although they did have lovely juicy watermelon and oranges! The breads were again average but I cannot comment on the cooked breakfast as we don’t tend to eat it! Lunch I was not a fan of some of the dishes were catered more for the Eastern Europe/Russian guest group! So I tended to eat out during the day for lunch even though we were all inclusive! The evening meals were hit and miss but for the most part good! A massive salad area and then a large Bain Maire! Found the chicken dishes to be rather dry on occasion but overall the food was nice! The desserts were the best part!!!!! The drink was excellent lovely wine and cocktails! Nice milkshakes at the pool bar too but hated the way they were time restricted! Great value for all inclusive for €30 per day if you book it when you land at reception in comparison to the €40 per day advertised on their website! We definitely got value for money in that for sure alone in the alcohol so was definitely worth the all inclusive for that alone!🙌🏻 the bar staff knew my order and had it ready before I even reached the bar and were very attentive to not let our table go without having a drinks order (some of our party were paying and some were all inclusive) we all received the same care and attention to detail! Excellent location literally across the road from the beach so stunning! And the bus stops just down from the hotel to go down to the harbour (bus no 611) or its a ten min walk down to the main area! Great location close to costa (important for us) and highly recommend visiting the Wooden Pub 1 when you’re there too cocktails are incredible! The pool was far too hot for the time of year it felt like bath water!! So wasn’t very refreshing or cooling to get into to escape the heat! We swam in the sea across the road from the hotel instead and was more refreshing and cooling! Just would be sure to have good swimming abilities before entering the sea as the current was strong enough! Also was unhappy with being scolded by the life guard for having a slightly larger pool ring... he said I should buy a smaller on and I mean it mustn’t have been but three inches smaller than the one I had! I told him I needed a bigger one as I wouldn’t fit in the smaller one comfortably he kinda just looked me up and down and walked away! It made me feel uncomfortable and a little embarrassed as I am by no means a small person! Later in the week I seen people in the pool with similar size rings as I had! That I have to say was my only negative staff interaction at Aloe Hotel the rest were friendly and lovely! I would return to Aloe hotel in the future if it were to have some/all of these changes made to it as I do believe it has fantastic potential to be a brilliant hotel!

Amazing location and walking dinstance to Pafos Harbour. It is an old hotel and needs renovation. It might be a star hotel but the rooms and decoration are really dated. Very clean though and staff very polite. A new hotel is now oposite this hotel and you cant see directly the see, but is so near, just accross the road Breakfast has everything but display not that great. Pool staff very kind and helpful, Walking dinstance to restaurants shops beach etc,
