General Comments
The Kefalos Beach Tourist Village staff were excellent, all very helpful & friendly. The pool area is superb with direct beach access (although the beach's sand is very coarse and the sea is very stoney-really not suitable for children). Lots of sunbeds and very tidy. The rooms are very spacious and have everything you need for a self-catering holiday. There is a very good restaurant on the complex which serves good quality food in a buffet style setting. This also serves the breakfast which is well worth the cost-when we were there they charged cyp£3 per adult & children ate for free. This, by the way, is an all you can eat price! The maids clean the rooms every day and fresh towels are left for you. The hotel is designed in a village style with small blocks of approx 5 appartments(2 storey) and the walk ways in between are lined with beautiful plants and flowers-all neatly kept. There is an adequate mini-mart on site which sells all the basics plus beach items and floats so don't waste suitcase space with these and operates from early morning to 9pm on the evening. There is a very friendly feel all around the hotel and everyone has a smile for you. Children are adored and a lot of fuss is made of them wherever you go. Surrounding the hotel is peace and quiet but after a 5min stroll you arrive at a bustling area of shops and restaurants-but nothing brash or tasteless. The hotel is very close to the Tomb of the Kings and the Elysium hotel but is quite a far way(by road) from the harbour, but you can walk along the coast to it within 15mins. It might be the wrong end of Paphos for frequent visitors but we've never been before and we were very impressed with the area. There ar numerous climbing frames(little tikes type) along the beach area, but the main playground is off the hotel grounds which we found quite unusual so doesn't get used much. It is very safe though as it's surrounded by fencing and the whole hotel is only 6years old so it is still good quality. To round up, a super hotel with excellent service and good standards thoughout. We were so impressed, we booked to go back (and we've never done that before)
