Beautiful, luxuries and fantastic service but dissapointing suites.
Service was phenomenal. The hotel was beautiful.
We booked a suite with a private pool, but we were not informed that this pool faces away from the sun all day. The pool is not heated which means it is not usable. There were also parties/weddings every night which can get a bit noisy until 11pm.

A real gem in the lovely Paphos
This was our 4th stay at the Elysium and we are coming back next year. We love the hotel, the staff is just amazing which is so important to us and we always have the most relaxing holiday. The buildings and surroundings are so beautiful and kept spotless. A special thanks to some of the people who made our stay extra special: Spa: Magda, all the ladies from the front desk to be honest, Laura who is just amazing at what she does and Lousi. Dinner and breakfast Dana, Susana, Iannis, Katarzina, and Luigi, Eva. Thank you all for being amazing at what you do and make our holiday so amazing every time we return.
If the beach could be upgraded a bit it would be lovely as it is full with seaweed and stones. But there is a beach just 10 minutes walk from the hotel so it is not a problem.

Big walking paths along the Oceanside. Lovely views. Excellent restaurants & breakfast outstanding. The staff are well trained & very responsive to guest needs.
Very pricey. A bit too large for us, but if you enjoy large resorts, it is well managed. Did not like stepping into bath to take a shower.

A perfect place to have a great vacation.
The reception, pool, spa, bars and restaurants offered a service of great quality, friendly, welcoming and generous attitude. The room was spectacular, recently renovated, fitted with new controls on lighting ad shades. The light is abundant and comfortable, there are plenty of sockets, the room was cleaned and supplies replenished daily. The breakfast was diverse and delicious. The hotel interior and exterior were very relaxing.
This is the only hotel that we visited more than once, because we knew that we would have a great time there. Gratefully, we were not wrong. We can only praise the hotel staff for what they are doing the best.

Spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Nice resort relatively close to the center of Kato Paphos. Nightly rate overpriced if compared to other resorts and the facilities, the quality and range of offers of this hotel category.
Access to the beach and sea a bit difficult. They could work on the formation of a nice sandy beach. Very small place for sun-beds on the deck for a just few people.
28 September 2025
Amazing, will defenitly come back again, and will also recommend to any friend that goes to cyprus!
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pool area of the hotel looks amazing and is very fun and relaxing. The beach sitting area is also very nice. The restaurants are good.
Not important at all, but the bed pillows could be improved, and the water flow in the shower could be stronger. But its really really small things that I wouldn't even take in to consideration.

Perfect Iwoild imagine this is the best hotel Paphos
What you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Clean, beautiful diffused aroma all around the hotel, great breakfast, parking is plenty, good location to bus station, good service from staff.
My only constructive criticism is the beach could be made so much better and appealing.

Beautiful hotel with extremly friendly and helpful staff
The hotel is beautiful, very high standard. The staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful, and pro active, for example we were at the pool, and the staff go around giving cold wet towels to wipe your face, even cleaning wipes for the sun glasses. really incredible service, even the doorman was extremely friendly.
The breakfast is good, but a little limited as far as choices, and doesnt change from day to day, dont get me wrong it wasnt bad, and was tasty, just not very diverce. But that is the only complain i have, and its not in anyway going to reduce my rating.

If you want quality and luxury - look no further - this is your place in Paphos.
Really 5 star hotel. Staff very friendly and very efficient. Wonderful breakfast. Also excellent dinners in the buffet restaurant. They provide a free shuttle bus to the old town and the harbor twice a day. Walking distance from the excellent archeological site "Tombs of the Kings"

We enjoyed our stay, despite the problem during our arrival and check in.
Room service and staff was excellent! The staff was also excellent, apart from one person (arrogant) at the reception during our check-in!
The fact that the customer relations telephone number was never answered, as well as the front desk telephone number for several times we have tried to call.

Even though we added money for dinner, we had to pay for bottled water, which is the most basic thing, compared to breakfast where they gave out free water.

Great. will come again next year.
The breakfast was delicious and aesthetically presented, and despite the busyness, the dining room was run perfectly, with the staff taking care to ask if more drinks were needed, etc. The dinners were varied, special, and delicious. The staff was pleasant, attentive, and friendly.
