St George Hotel

The hotel is located on the route to the hyped Coral Bay (disappointing when visited - large sandy beach but area rather tatty). I would say the location of the hotel is not inspiring but once in the door and seeing rear grounds and views it is nice. On arriving the reception desk was very dreary and dimly lit and then a scrum of form filling with other guest arrivals at reception - tiring after a long journey. At other hotels we have been shown to seats and given refreshment and snacks and registration forms whlist seated to fill in. The good points of the hotel are two excellent restaurants one for breakfast and lunch and one for evening meal and amazing food. The Maitre D in the restaurants must be one of the nicest men in Cyprus as is the lovely blonde lady who greets guests here. The large pool area and grass lawns have plenty of seating. The room was nice with a sea view but needed some action. The net curtain was torn and had a few squashed mosquitos on it ! On this point on the first night we got severley bitten by mosquitos - 15 bites on one arm! On checking I found 9 mozi`s on the bathroom ceiling!! Had to go to Paphos town for medicine and fly spray. Other negative points : Sauna pool cold and awful unhygenic toilets; the hotel reception staff were not friendly except for one grey haired chap who always made an effort; lighting throught hotel is poor; pool snack bar tables very tatty and area doubles up as a dart board area - annoying if you are eating ( we were half board and very limited pricey snacks, club sandwich 9.50 at pool BUT if you order it on room service only 8.00 euro!!?). On tap soft drinks 2.50 in plastic cup - ended up nipping to supermarket general store for chilled branded drinks. The hotel have a drinks offer for half board guests at 17 euros per day per person - not a good deal ! Unbelievably as early as 7am elderly guests were out reserving sunbeds with towels etc even though against hotel policy - no action by management taken. The sunbed cushions are very grubby, never saw them being wiped down. During our stay sunbeds were being put away by staff on a daily basis - getting ready for winter? Hard to get a seat on grassed area. The small beach lagoon at rear of hotel is quite pleasant however during our whole stay plastic bottles bobbed merrily in the sea with no attempt made to remove them . We used a lovely deep sand beach a 15 minute walk away - turn right from hotel gardens and follow the well maintained coastal path. In summing up this is a nice hotel with plenty of indoor seating on leather furniture, excellent bar staff waiters, brilliant restaurant staff and food, nice grounds but probaly would not come again only due to location (although buses are close, 1.50euro any single jouney (Paphos harbour 20 mins) or 5euro day pass, 20euro week pass. Dont be tempted to go to Paphos old town and market - a lot of money has been spent on development but nothing to see - the covered market is numerous tourist tat shops!

8th time to this fantastic hotel and a lot of people who you speak to there are repeat visitors which says everything.food was varied and very good quality rooms clean and good size.we stayed in 2506 which had a great sea view,all the staff were friendly and did a very good job representing the hotel,special mention to Andreas the maitre d in the a la carte for two first class meals and for really looking after us,he is a star.weather was in mid 20s everyday which is good for November. one little gripe was that when I went to check out and pay our bill I forgot that I had my 10% off repeat customer green card,I realised just as the transaction had gone through and the lady at check in said they couldn’t do anything,my own fault I suppose. All in all a great hotel a great atmosphere and a brilliant holiday,already looking to book next year

This was our fourth stay at this wonderful friendly hotel.The most friendly and helpful staff one could wish for.I will praise Elena for her concern when my wife was un well,sending honey and lemons for tea.Thank you.Samantha for the lovely chats serving cocktails.The food was very good and buffet breakfast and omelettes by a beautil young lady.The swimming pools,saune and whirlpools are super clean and gave much pleasure.Thank you all so very much and see you next year.This hotel does not lack in quality at all.
