Nearly 20 years since our last visit to Paphos . The hotel was fabulous. We arranged airport taxi through the hotel can’t fault it at all driver was there waiting on our arrival and again ready for our very early morning return flight home. Our booking included gala New Year dinner which was also very good just a shame about the weather rain at some time every day plus hail and thunder We took advantage of the courtesy bus to and from the harbour most days Great buffet breakfast , great value afternoon tea we opted for the festive version Daily room clean and refill of toiletries and again of an evening Didn’t realise / think quite a few restaurants shops closed for a few months this time of year
Had a great time a lovely room with views out to sea and the garden we really look forward to returning

Dear trip advisor reviewer Surbiton53 I am happy to hear that despite inclement weather (out of our control I’m afraid!) you very much enjoyed your festive stay with us with us, appreciating our breakfast, well-appointed room, excellent cleanliness and the convenience of our shuttle bus to explore more of Paphos town or harbour area. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Best regards Christos Papamiltiadous General Manager

After having several holidays cancelled this year we were desperate to get away for some sunshine and Cyprus offered the warmth and safety due to low Covid numbers & with the added reassurance of everyone having to test negative prior to travel. We read the rave reviews of The Elysium Hotel and the hotel did not let us down… from the moment you arrive you can forget about the dreaded C word – all safety measures are taken with hand sanitisation stations placed in many areas including food stations and these are politely enforced
Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of offerings and a chef egg station. Lovely Marina is there with a glass (or two!) of bubbles every morning which was a great way to start the day! – George and Yannis are also there at your service with a genuine smile and all overseen by Andreas who manages the slick and friendly team
Half Board dinners varied between different themed buffets which had plenty of choice and good quality, and some evenings, Table d’hote offering a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and 2 dessert – again really good food, well presented. As with breakfast all expertly overseen by Andreas and his fantastic team.
Prior to dinner we would watch the fabulous sunset on the terrace with a cocktail and scurry back up post dinner to watch the nightly entertainment - thank you Kyriaki (Kiki), Lorena and Kristina for the great service and friendly chats. Cocktails were on the whole great, reasonable priced, and all overseen by Emma the bar manager
Rooms are good with lovely Molton Brown amenities – an adequate hotel gym with adjoining studio with plenty of weight and dumbells and social distance measures in place. Make sure you book a time slot prior to going. Didn’t use the spa but a friend had a lovely massage there
We lazed on sun loungers on the grassed area of the hotel and the pool bar team are very attentive bringing you drinks whenever needed.
Due to Covid restrictions the swim up seats at the pool bar are out of action and can only order lunch food at one of the restaurants or through room service which was very efficient.
You can always tell a good hotel by the many happy faces that are staying there – and after having spoken to several guests this hotel has many repeaters and we will now definitely be joining them.
All in all despite Covid we were able to enjoy extremely relaxed, stress free holiday with fantastic service and friendly staff – Thank you Elysium

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
It’s one of the very few hotels in the country where what you pay is what you get and it exceeds your expectations. We stayed there last year to celebrate our engagement and this year to celebrate our wedding. The staff was so kind that they had provided us with chocolates and champagne to celebrate and our room was covered in roses! The staff in all areas was friendly and polite, willing to help, with a smile on their face at all times. The rooms were cleaned at least twice a day, providing us with new toiletries and towels each time. The swimming pools were spotless clean and the pool-bar service although not fully-functioned (due to covid restrictions) was excellent. My only comments for improvement this year have to do with the food (just tiny details that one might not even pay attention to!): “Nutella” at breakfast did not taste like nutella, “Special K” at breakfast was not Special K but some other brand and the buffet, this year, was not as good as last year. But that’s just our taste buds :) Will definitely return!

This was our second time at Elysium, and it was the same perfect holiday that we experienced the first time. It has been mentioned by other posters, but the staff at Elysium really are the most professional and friendly of any resort hotel we have stayed at. Nothing is too difficult for them, and anything we asked for was always greeted with a lovely smile and quick service. The grounds are beautiful, and maintained every day, and the facilities are also very well maintained and kept spotless. The pool areas and surrounding parkland in front of the beach are always clean and lovely to walk around and lounge around. Pool staff always around to take your order, and the Mediterranean restaurant serves delicious lunch, with large servings at very reasonable prices. The rooms are very large, clean and have all the facilities one would want, and I would recommend spending a little bit more for a sea view room. Watching the sunset glowing red from the balcony over the sea, was a delight. Breakfast is amazing, and Marios the omelette maker always greets you with the warmest smile every morning. We had the half board, and the buffet dinners were always packed with a great variety of lovely food, which changes nightly to different types of cuisines (Asian, Italian, Mediterannean etc ). Also recommend having a lunch at some point at the indoor bar area on the first floor , in front of the reception area. The surroundings are really lovely and the food was fantastic.
If we were to ask for any improvement, it would possibly be the kids club. Seemed dark and uninviting. Could possibly have had some background music to make it a bit more fun, and maybe some organised daily activities ? It has a nice softplay area, but our kids (4 and 7) found that there wasnt really much for them to do.
Very short drive from the airport and love that we were able to use the spa area for our showers on the last day, as we had a late flight and got to enjoy an extra day at Elysium. It was sad to leave but already planning our return, which will be very soon.

This was our first time at the Hotel Elysium and we have been mesmerised by the warmth and welcome of the staff in any area of the hotel, the ambiance and luxury of the guest room, the cleanliness of every area of the hotel and the attention to detail the hotel staff extended to us making our stay the best ever. The room is beautifully decorated, the duvets are fluffy, there is a great choice of pillows, plenty of white towels and luxury toiletries by Molton and Brown. We fell in love with the charm of the hotel and the warmth of the people working here, Elysium, we will be back soon. It has become a home away from home. Thanks so much Evdoxia and all the team (incl. Cynthia, Nicos, Alla, Daniela, Marina and Cedric)

We stayed for the October half-term week for a family holiday and to celebrate my wife’s 50th birthday. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and certainly the best one in Cyprus. From the moment we booked I was in contact with the hotel to arrange some extra birthday surprises for my wife. Both Cynthia and Katie were so helpful and really helped our celebrations with a complimentary cake, helping arrange a trip to the Spa, some beautiful flowers and an extra surprise in the Bacco Italian restaurant in the evening. The executive pastry chef created a special dessert called ‘Sur le Table’ shown in the photographs which is created in front of you at the table with all the elements delicious.
Every member of staff from housekeeping, reception, restaurant and waiting on team through to the pool bar and sun bed team were so helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The Covid sanitisation and cleaning regime was thorough and gave you genuine confidence so that you could relax. The hotel itself is beautiful and spacious and the rooms are well proportioned.
I huge thank you to everyone at the hotel who helped make this such a great holiday. I would highly recommend a visit here, and it certainly won’t be our last!

We have been going to the Elysium for a number of years as do many other people. This year it was challenging to get there but it was well worth it. All the positives about the Elysium are still in place and the changes that have been made because of Covid are very sensible but do not detract from the holiday experience. For example the quality of the food is a major delight especially the breakfast and evening buffets. It is mandatory that hands are sanitised and/or gloves worn before entering the buffets, splash guards are in place and the customers are expected to walk through the buffet in a specific direction. No masks need to be worn, however all the Elysium Team do wear masks. As I say, common sense that does not detract from your holiday. Throughout the hotel hand sanitising stations are available and well used by all. We had a beautiful holiday once again, the sunshine, the food, the pools, the space, the gardens, the beach, the peace but most of all the service. The team are fabulous and look after everyone in a professional and friendly manner. If you can get to the Elysium then I would advise it, you will have a wonderful experience and find some escape from the tough times we all face.

We recently stayed at the Elysium Hotel, in November, and can recommend it to other couples. It was advertised as 5 Star Superior and it certainly lived up to its advert. Every aspect was superior to any other hotel we have visited across Europe. It was spotless throughout and there was a fantastic choice of food which was always fresh and delicious. The service from a helpful and friendly staff was exceptional. We felt pampered throughout our stay. The only fault was our own; we should have booked a room with a better view. We used Jet2 Holidays Indulgent Escapes to book the trip and received lots of excellent extras as part of our booking.

The Elysium is a 5* star hotel. We arrived on a wet Christmas day to be met by Xenophondas who welcomed us with a smile, took our bags and showed us to reception. Later he showed us to our room and explained in detail all the wonderful features, including mood lighting in the bathroom! Our room was spacious and well appointed overlooking the swimming pool and terraces. The hotel is spotless in all areas. Breakfast was amazing and the staff were always helpful, from Alla & Katarzyns who greeted you to Nico Antoniou who made you welcome in the restaurant. Evening meals are buffet style, with something for everyone from fresh salads to roasts and pasta dishes. The grounds are beautiful and lead to the promenade if you turn to your left its a 20 minute walk to the Harbour and town centre. This hotel is luxurious and I hope to return again some day

It is not the first time we have visited the Elysium Hotel. This hotel is one of its kind. Everything is exceptional. From the very first touch to the last.
The first contact from the reservations department, thank you Gabriella, we felt the hospitality and the professionalism! Upon our arrival at the hotel, we felt very welcomed, special and respected. The reception ladies were very kind. Adrian helped us with our luggage, he took our car keys, attended to our luggage and then parked our car in the underground parking.
The classy, luxurious room was spotless and well equipped. Not to mention, a beautiful birthday cake placed in our room! We booked half board and had our first dinner at the buffet restaurant. An endless variety of cold and hot dishes, everything of top quality and very well cooked. Miles apart from the standard or traditional buffets.
Exceptional care from the housekeeper that took care of our room, while we had our dinner, and made sure that the room was tidy, prepared our bed, the lighting, and all needed for a good nights sleep.
Breakfast... what can I say! The best ever!! Fresh, rich and large varieties to suit all tastes! From the cheese, charcuterie, fruit, salads, omelettes, fried, boiled or poached eggs, to the freshly made Pancakes, waffles etc. (really loved the waffles).
It is worth mentioning that the hygiene measures due to Covid-19 pandemic are excellent. I feel extremely safe staying at this hotel and have already booked our next stays! Even the pool sun-beds are disinfected often and daily!
I fully recommend the Elysium Hotel!
