Here you have a modern hotel, but with a family clientele - an establishment where you can choose accommodations according to the size you require - (there are so many different types); the rooms of this seaside hotel do not all have a balcony. The Almyra hotel is unclassified; you should try it to get an idea of what that really means.

On the sea front, in the Kato Paphos neighbourhood (the low city of Paphos). The city centre is located 1,640 feet away. Paphos airport is 12.5 miles away.
There are 190 accommodations all together, divided into 9 classes. The simplest one is the room offering a garden view (301 feet˛ with a balcony, a few rooms overlooking the other buildings beyond the garden). The most luxurious is the Kyma suite: 505 feet˛ with sundeck overlooking the sea. But this sundeck - fitted out on the roof of the suite - does not offer any privacy. One of them offers a view of all the sundecks of these suites. Between the two, you can choose, among others, family suites or rooms with a sea view (there is not always a balcony). As for the decor, you will find the lobby style everywhere, but with less elements. A living-room area - a low wooden table and two leather armchairs - a dark wood headboard, white walls and marble floor; white is dominant. The amenities include satellite TV, telephone, air-conditioning, mini-bar, bathtub, hair-dryer, welcome products (Bulgari brand in the suites). A safe is located at the reception for guests in the rooms offering a garden view and there are safes in the remaining rooms.
Renovated in 2004, the Almyra is distinguishable from its neighbours by its modern style, both inside and outside. An uncluttered lobby has rectangular shapes layered with antinomic colors, white and black. A slate fountain-pool is overlooked by a bay-window that faces the sea and the gardens. Outside, beach beds are aligned under wooden pergolas whose lines are softened by net curtains and climbing floral plants. The pool - black, since it is paved by slate, makes you think of some of the luxury Asian hotels: strange and exotic. Fortunately, there is also a kids pool and a playground which suits mainly families, one of the types of clients in the Almyra hotel.
Open morning and evening, the Mosaic restaurant bears this name because of the antique style mosaics that decorate the room. It has a view of the pool and the gardens, enbellished by a beautiful sundeck for those who want to eat outside. A breakfast buffet with hot and cold dishes (coffee served at the table); dinner is served at the table. The dishes are both Mediterranean and Asian inspired. Certain menus, called ''omakase'', offers 5, 7 or 9 dishes for tasting. You will not know before you get it what types of flavours you will taste, but you can see the chef the day before and order what you want. At noon, a restaurant close to the pool on the sea offers surroundings with wooden armchairs shaded by a pergola. Mediterranean dishes (meat, pasta, fish and salad).
The beach is in a small, beige, sandy cove, about 655 x 82 feet in size. No space is available for beach chairs on the sand - they are arranged overlooking the long sundeck that borders the pool. In the water, away from the edge, a row of big rocks forms a secure bathing area for children. Attention, however, there are few pebbles in the sea. From April to October, a club offers water sports (for additional fees). A diving centre is also available.
The Almyra is the only hotel in Cyprus that offers a special service for parents with babies. This service, called ''Baby go Lightly'' should be requested from the reservation. For additional variable charges and depending on the items requested, the hotel provides food, bottle warmers, diapers, welcome products, colouring books, strollers and diaper changing tables. Some services are free of charge, like the picture books or the glass of warm milk in the evening.

Hotel muy limpio, trato amable, instalaciones y vistas excelentes
The Dionysos is a small hotel similar to a family pension located in the heart of Paphos port. This place will satisfy those seeking a simple and smaller hotel complex offering more privacy and a good level of comfort.
The Cypria has a very creative decoration. Here you will find a nice, relaxing atmosphere and all the services offered are of high quality. The discreet entertainment, the options for children and the stillness here will delight couples with or without kids.
Relaxing vacations under the sign of the luxury. The Paphos Amathus Beach has numerous advantages for a fully enjoyable outdoor vacation. With its various spaces, this five-star hotel is both recommended for families and couples.
It is not the best hotel of this class in Paphos, but its location on the sea and near downtown allows you to walk around in high season enjoying the legendary Cypriot sun, without any concern for transportation once you are in the area.
Well decorated, well located and offering affordable prices, the Imperial Beach has lots of advantages for a successful stay. It is a recommended destination for those wishing to discover the archeological sites of Paphos. Thanks to the location of the hotel, you can get there on foot.
The Veronica offers everything you would expect of a 3 star hotel (local standards), and on paper sounds like a really nice place (moderate size, peaceful), but unfortunately in practice it hardly incites enthusiasm. Its location, which is neither right in the city centre nor on the seafront, gives it an unfortunate feeling of being neither here nor there. Its guest rooms are old fashioned, equipped with the bare minimum, and of questionable cleanliness, not to mention their facilities... It's really quite a pity, because if the entire hotel were to be done up, it would be a really pleasant place to stay.
Families will be in their element at the Paphos Gardens. The accommodation (apartment blocks with all of the modern amenities, including a kitchenette), facilities, and leisure activities were all carefully designed to care for guests of all ages, but especially children. Couples seeking to relax in Cyprus should give this hotel a miss: there is no avoiding the multitude of children making themselves at home here. Moreover, the beach is far and not ideally situated.
The Alexander the Great Beach Hotel stands on the coast in Paphos and belongs to the Kanika hotel group, owner to several other hotels in Cyprus: Limassol and Ayia Napa in particular. It is 'reasonably' luxurious, blending together traditional Greek art and a more contemporary style, which caters for all age groups, especially since it was entirely renovated in 2010. Children are also welcome here, the hotel even having a leisure club available just for them.

This vacation hotel offers a full set of facilities. A nice and refined decoration, good comfort, or a good choice of restaurant or leisure activities. No animation: it's even better! The clients come here mainly for the peaceful atmosphere. This is possible also because there are not too many kids.
Located in a sandy coast - which doesn't happen very often in Paphos - the Coral Beach has comfortable accommodations, elegant dining and various activities to prevent boredom.
A warm welcome, impeccable service, entertainment and amusement, good cuisine, varied activities, and a prime location by the sea: such are the offerings of the St George Hotel, arguably one of the best 4 star establishments in the region. It's the perfect place for golfers, with the superb courses of Minthis Hills and Secret valley 11 mi and 17 mi away respectively. If you're not so keen on golfing, you can always enjoy a nice drink on the terrace or indulge in a divine massage at the Sen Spa.

The Queen Bay’ hotel is located ’ away from the touristy bustle of Paphos. The simple ’atmosphere and unpretentiousness contrast strongly with the large hotel infrastructures that are numerous on the ’island. It will suit perfectly vacationers seeking peace and a minimum of activities.
A peaceful and quiet hotel, the Atlantica Golden Beach is recommended for those seeking rest. A good choice for a seaside vacation. Recommended mainly for couples, the hotel does not offer specific facilities for young children.
