Positives: Wonderful location: I liked being right on the beach promenade next to other lovely resorts. It was easy and accessible to see the sunset every night. The grounds of the hotel were spotless and clean. Concierge service: Easy to communicate in the months leading up to our reservation. They were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had about the resort itself or Cyprus. They were able to seamlessly book us a taxi to the farther airport. They also booked us a wonderful tour through a local company. We were able to easily coordinate laundry service with the concierge as well. Food options: The pool bar and restaurant had nice, reasonably priced food options throughout the day. It was fresh and tasty every time we ordered. Negatives: Room location: I chose garden view and I was given a room on the ground floor. I had no issues with this except that the patio area was right next to the parking lot and didn’t have enough plants and trees to ensure privacy. I tried to have a work call over zoom in the patio, it was very distracting because people were walking by and could see and hear me on my calls. I couldn’t focus on my work because of this. Housekeeping: The daily housekeeping service was not to my standards. In fact, when we arrived the bathroom mirror was not clean and remained dirty with stains for our trip. One day, the housekeeper left a used rag on the bathroom counter next to our cosmetics and toothbrushes. Also, full containers of complimentary soap were oddly taken away by the housekeepers and not replaced. Also, upon check-in there is fruit in the fridge as a welcome gesture, but our fruit had mold. I’m not sure if this is the housekeepers responsibility, but it certainly showed a lack of attention to detail. Pool: Honestly, I felt like the pool could use renovations. This was disappointing because it looked amazing in pictures (it’s why I booked this resort!). But I felt like it was outdated and small, especially compared to the nearby resorts. For these reasons, I have to give the resort a 3/5. I wanted to love it but in the end I felt like there may have been better resorts to stay in.

One time we wanted to eat something in the restaurant. We were treated very well. We left 50 euros, the waitress (with glasses and dark hair) was so professional and kind, the atmosphere was great. The next day we went to eat dinner again. The waiter in his first words asked us if we are guests of vrachia hotel. We said no. He said nothing and left the menu. He looked like he is not content that he has to serve us but we didnt care. When we paid for the meal (this time only 12 euros) he told us that they don’t serve people who are not guests of the hotel because the restaurant is mostly busy. This day, when we came, only one table was occupied… That sounded like sugesstion not to come here again. We are not assertive enough to comment this behaviour that time but we felt treated like we did something wrong. That was so rude. Furthermore, menu of the restaurant hangs on the street a few metres from restaurant ( like an invitation to come over from the street), and on the menu there is no information that the restaurant is only for vrachia hotel guests. We were sleeping in Queens Bay Hotel and saw vrachia restaurant from our room- the restaurant was everyday empty or with just a few people inside. What an incompetence and no class! That is such a shame. We engaged nearby and wanted to try some food to organize there our wedding. The rest of our stay we were eating and leaving money regularly in the restaurants where we were well welcomed guests.

Great hotel, food, staff. Great position on a crowded coastline. Nice size, adults only, regular buses to both towns - didn't like the towns though, Coral Bay & Paphos both tacky. Vrachia Beach a nice oasis. Only criticism is the all day, quite loud 'lounge' music on a loop at the pool. Heard 'Lady in Red' and others about 30 times in 2 weeks! Otherwise v good hotel. Sea view balcony was a treat, great room service.

The staff were friendly and helpful but the manager was very ignorant. The room was advertised as sea view but had the minimum view of the sea you could get away with and a public footpath with bushes in the way. The patio area for the room had an opening in the wall that anyone could access so you could not leave anything out to dry or the patio door open. I have mobility issues and struggled with the very steep hill down to the hotel and there were no real bars/restaurants close by. The nearest restaurant was very english and the nearest authentic greek one was a 1 1/2k walk around the bay or 2 very large hills but would highly recommend it. The bus service into Paphos was good and cheap but busy, there was a 9k ride to the harbour on a very full, hot bus The taxis were very expensive and charged from where they started from and not from pickup, they charged 20 Euros from Paphos harbour to hotel and the same for any smaller distance to hotel. . No good food Supermarkets close by so self catering was hard to do. Paphos is also going through major road and building works so not good underfoot if you have problems walking. I will not be in a rush to come back.

On top of a small cliff jutting out into the bay, away from the crowds. Great pool. Fantastic views over the bay. Adults only. Relatively small and quiet high quality hotel. Very clean. Suite has large bedroom, en suite bathroom with bath and shower, adequately equipped kitchen, decent lounge, 2 balconies. If you want sunshine and peace - this is the place!!!
