Elysium Hotel Paphos, Cyprus

5 star quality

The beach is difficult to access due to rocks and pebbles

Wow beyond all our high expectations! Mostly the food and cocktails which I wasn’t sure that will meet our taste but were surprisingly good.

I cant wait for the adult only part to be re-opened. The hotel is so well designed that it wasn’t so bad because of the families but I believe that the adult-only part will maximize the experience for child-free people…

the breakfast had a wide spread. included multiple options for vegetarians. the pools were clean and the beach was fun to swim. excellent overall experience.

2nd year in a row at this hotel. Perfect hospitality If you are looking for a great vacation with your family - that's the place

It was spacious and had excellent facilities

Nothing

Really great and spacious pool area with plenty of room, so it never felt too crowded. The free beachfront sundecks were awesome and came with full service. Friendly staff and clean rooms. We didn’t use the resort restaurants, but there were many options and services to choose from. Good running routes and outdoor gyms along the shoreline. Paphos still reachable even at the shore.

The location is a bit remote, but it’s not a problem since the views and seafront are great!

The hotel is lovely, part of it is being renovated but this didn’t impact our stay. The rooms are nice, traditional rather than modern, it was strange having a carpeted room on a med holiday but the design is well thought out and everything was super clean.

I can’t really think of anything I didn’t like, the breakfast is fabulous as is the evening themed buffet (approx €45 pp). We didn’t try the other restaurants as we were only there a couple of nights. We had a couple of niggly problems related to the Booking.com booking but the hotel staff were helpful and this was sorted out. Overall a chilled and relaxing short break!

Without doubt one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The quality of the service - from arrival, through check-in, in-room and bar and restaurant service - was impeccable.

Great service-I believe such a service and staff assistance I experienced for the first time(although I stayed in many 5 starts hotels in Cyprus) Everything very clean-comfortable bed,available robes and comfortable slippers.Staff would bring extra water for the use. Had dinner in the hotel-Ristorrante Bacco,which had mediaval style(it felt that we were not in Cyprus),food was one of the most delicious I ever had🤩 At the evening live music performance-really enjoyed it.

I liked everything,since couple of days before my visit of the hotel was my Birthday,it would be nice to receive some small complimentary in this regards.

The hotel is clean beautiful and calming. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The staff on arrival were amazing and accommodating.

One of the staff members was a Jehovah witness and tried to get us interested in their religion while we were relaxing at the pool.

We had the best of times at Elysium hotel! The hotel is so comfortable and has everything ready for you -from the magnificent pool, spa, well equipped gym and spacious guest rooms. There are also several options for dyning within and outside the hotel. Its location is also great near the beach and a lovely promenade.I would like also to recognize Anthoni ,Thanasis, Costas for their constant support.Definitely recommending and will be happy to come back

Everything was amazing, and the staff were incredibly friendly. They even surprised us with a complimentary birthday cake in the room, as my birthday happened to fall during the week of our stay.

The only negative aspect of our experience was the behavior of the head waiter (or at least who we assumed to be the head waiter) at the Italian restaurant. He informed us that any option with a different price would be considered an extra and not included in the two-course menu. When I placed my order, I mentioned I wanted the lobster pasta. Since there was no indication of an additional charge on the menu, we naturally assumed it was included in the course options. Instead of politely clarifying, the waiter responded with a dismissive laugh and said, “For a 50-euro course?” — implying that such a price couldn’t possibly include lobster. His tone was condescending, and his attitude came across as both disrespectful and unprofessional. He didn’t even take the time to inform us of the actual price difference. Aside from this incident, however, the rest of our experience was excellent!

Excellent

ALL THE FACILITIES WERE TO MY EXPECTATIONS

IT WAS A DIFFRENT TYPE OF HOTEL AND IT WAS VERY PICTURESQE

My 5th time, always perfect! The best hotel in cyprus!

It was one of the best services I have ever experienced.

Amazing property

Very good large resort.

The beach is very small and rocky. Not really a beach destination.

We had a lovely stay at Elysium Hotel. The pool area offers a stunning view, and it’s only a three-minute walk to the Tombs of the Kings. There’s also a beautiful coastal path for walks, which we really enjoyed. Breakfast was a highlight—fantastic food every morning. The staff were generally wonderful, especially Thanasis the portier, who welcomed us warmly and explained the hotel facilities thoroughly. Retchell, one of the breakfast waitresses, stood out for her genuine smile and warm service—it was such a pleasant way to start the day.

However, we did notice a consistent lack of enthusiasm from Maria, who seats guests in the restaurant. She appeared uninterested and somewhat sarcastic, which unfortunately impacted the dining experience across several mornings. In a five-star hotel, professionalism and attitude matter greatly. We had just come from a stay at the Four Seasons, where every single member of staff—from porters to chambermaids—was impressively trained and sincerely welcoming. With both hotels being rated five stars, we expected a similar standard. While Elysium has many strengths, there’s room for improvement in staff consistency and hospitality training.

Everything❤️

Food was fantastic, staff very friendly

The beach is accessible only from a pier

The hotel is so beautiful and luxurious. The perfect place for a pleasant and relaxing stay. It is so clean and the staff is very attentive. This was my third stay at the hotel and I’m going back in September as well. The food is lovely and there is so much choice. The rooms are clean and comfy. My favourite place is the sunset terrace where you can watch the sunset, listen to some lovely music and have a nice drink of your choice. I would like to say a special thank you to some of the restaurant staff who made our stay extra special: Liviu who is so knowledgable and polite and funny and professional, always with a smile on his face. Daniela who knew our room number by heart after the second day and greeted us with the biggest smile when she saw us at breakfast. Luigi who always stopped at our table to have a little chat with us. Eva who always smiled at us and asked how we are. Suzana who was always so polite and lovely. To be honest everyone is lovely and they go above and beyond to make your stay as pleasant as it is possible. Another thank you to the lovely gentlemen at the entrance who are taking our luggage’s to the rooms. They were all so nice to us. Thank you to the lovely spa manager Magdolna as well. I would highly recommend this wonderful place. I fell in love with it two years ago and now it is my go to hotel for a luxurious and relaxing holiday.

We loved everything

Superb facilities . Great staff . Costas was brilliant !

Nothing

Amazing outdoor pool area, great rooms, lovely bars, relaxing indoor and outdoor restaurants. Big indoor pool, great gym, sauna, steam and spa. Everything is so spacious, tasteful and clean. The food is beyond amazing. One of the restaurants is a huge, constantly changing buffet, which is fantastic. The hotel is near 2 brilliant archeological sites, the tomb of the Kings and the Archaeological Park. The feeling of the hotel is classy relaxed. The best thing of all is the staff, who are all so lovely, so helpful and make your stay so easy and enjoyable.

The beach nearby is a bit rocky, but Coral Bay is just a short bus ride away and fabulous.

Everything about Elysium is awesome. One of the best stays yet in Cyprus.

I tried to recollect real hard but nothing came to my mind that I did not liked. Maybe I stayed a little less in the heaven there.

Facilities, location, staff

The stuff is amazing good, the hotel is very conviniante, The accsess to the sea is easy and a benifit The rooms are big and conviniante The hotel is very very........clean The hotel web site doesnt give the full picture teh reallity is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to the fact that the hotel in not in the centere more shuttels to the old city and marine are recommended, Should allow a couple with 2 small kids to stay in the same room and not to take 2 rooms which make it exspensive

An old-fashioned hotel that is incredibly well maintained. Super clean, excellent service, lots of staff who are just looking to help. The rooms are spacious, we had a gorgeous view of the pool and the sea and good food at breakfast and hotel restaurants .

We liked everything staff cleanness and food. Looking forward to return for the seventh time.

Everything

Everything is peefect as always

The staff were so friendly and incredibly welcoming especially by making a fuss of our 15 month old. The breakfast was superb too!!

This hotel was the best I have stayed in. From the moment you go in you enter a different world in terms of decor, comfort and above all the superb welcome from all the staff which lasts for the entire holiday. The hotel is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. I also loved the amount of space outside with loads of sunbeds and the quiet and peaceful area around the sea front.a

Although the food was delicious it was rather expensive.

Everything was topnotch from staff, facilities, pool area, breakfast, the restaurants at the hotel

Nothing

I spent a weekend at the Elysium Hotel and it was absolutely perfect. The staff were warm, attentive and went above an beyond from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless and we were upgraded to a side sea view. The breakfast buffet had a large variety of cold and hot options so you were spoilt for choice. The pool area was peaceful and luxurious. Was just what we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway!

That we had to leave

Everything.... The food, the facilities, the music

all perfected

The hotel and grounds are gorgeous. The staff are amazing. We only ate breakfast at the hotel and it was lovely with lots of choice and all very fresh. Sunbeds super comfortable and plentiful. Pool bar very reasonably priced and service very efficient. Rooms very clean and very well equipped.

If you can don’t book a partial sea view room - ours cost extra and basically looked directly onto a car park and a building site - you could see the sea but not without moving the chairs and table. I understand that they started excavating for building and found some ruins so had to stop so now it’s surrounded by tatty, torn fabric hoardings - not really what you want to see when you open the curtains in the morning 😳. Not at all worth the extra money and genuinely the only thing that was disappointing about the whole trip.

booked a massage for my wife. Amazing quality!

Everything was perfect

Breakfast was great, our son truly enjoyed the kids club (amazing staff, thank you!) and the playground. Everyone made sure we'll have a superb experience.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Everything was top-notch — from the delicious food to the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly professional and kind, making us feel truly welcomed. The rooms were exceptionally clean, spacious, and very comfortable — clearly maintained to the highest standards. We especially loved the night shows, which offered stunning views of both the pool and the sea. Service was truly 5 stars. Highly recommended!

Everything was great

Everything was sparkling clean and comfortable, staff were very accommodating, the breakfast was unreal!

The rude behaviour of a single waitress during breakfast.
