The Azia Beach Hotel in Paphos. Basically, its a good hotel, but I think you really need the upgrade. We stayed in upgraded rooms which were great, and got us entry into a VIP lounge with a TV, dvds, and unlimited internet access. On our last day, we used the shower in a standard room - NOT AS GOOD! I feel that if you stay in this hotel, get the upgrade!!!!!
The outdoor poor was fantastic! Its always absolutly beautiful, clean, just the right temperature, and in the middle is the pool bar. You can sit on stools in the pool and have a drink/ice cream - FANTASTIC!!!
There are pleanty of sunbeds, so thats never an issue. However, if you want the beds by the pool, they all go by about 8:30 am! The indoor pool looked great, but we couldn't use iit as it was undergoing essential maintence for our entire stay!
The gym was generally great. The equipment is good quality, but there's only 2 treadmills/crosstrainers/bikes, and they're often in use. While I was there, the Air Con broke and they took about 3 days to fix it, so that was rather unimpressive. Also, a treadmill broke, and they took ages to fix it. They are a bit slow to fix things in the hotel!
The food is ok for the first night, but after that you get sick of the same things over and over again! If you have half board, my advice is to take it at lunch time, and go out into Paphos in the evening. There's a great chinese called Phuket - the nicest chinese I've ever eaten. There are many good restaurants in town aswell. I advise you try as many as you can fit in/afford.
All in all, its a great hotel with friendly staff, though be sure no to be in a room with a sea view as they're all above the disco!!! The rooms looking inland can't hear the disco which goes till about 1am - BEWARE!!!
The entrance to the hotel is really stunning. There's a giant palm tree that goes through an open window in the roof. At the bottom of this is a beautiful wooken bench. There are many other great items in this loby. Also, 3 times a week theres live piano music in the evenings in the loby. You can sit and read, listen to the music and have as many drinks as you want - GREAT!!!
