Venus Beach Hotel

Doug Gordon

This hotel is a cheap 5 star hotel. And the cost represents fair value. However, there is a lot of work needed and it looks like the management is working to a tight budget thus making the interior in places look more like a 3 star. On arrival, I was given a piece of paper saying the rooms would not be cleaned until 10am… at 9am when I was still in bed asleep the cleaner walked in. The cleaners were also very noisy from 8am every day. I will say the rooms themselves are nice, with a decent bed, although the bathroom not made for two people. There is also not much in the area other than the hotel and a couple of restaurants. I stayed on the south side of Paphos in a 4 star hotel last week and it was much better. I will say the beach 150m away is lovely and there is smooth sand getting into the sea. The buffet food is also not great compared to the 4 star I went to last week. I didn’t go half board as I thought I would eat out. There is a gym with a cross trainer, a rowing machine and a few free weights and that’s it. The restaurant and bar staff were very nice and the reception seemed nice as well.

Exceptional Stay! I recently stayed at Venus Beach Hotel, and it was a wonderful experience. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. Our room was quiet, clean, and offered a lovely view! The hotel has a great pool area with very polite and attentive staff. Everyone I interacted with — from reception to the restaurant team — was friendly, helpful, and truly committed to making guests feel valued. One highlight of my stay was the breakfast — fresh, delicious, and with plenty of variety to suit all tastes. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for quality, comfort, and excellent service.

Disappointing stay – maximum 3 stars Food & Dining: Very monotonous, tasteless, and lacking variety. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were almost identical, limited selection, soup without flavor. Drinks only included at breakfast. At the entrance, guests’ bags were even checked to ensure no food or drinks were brought in – absolutely inappropriate for a 5-star hotel. Rooms & Facilities: Rooms were renovated but not really clean. Bed linen and towels could be changed daily, but often had a musty smell. Bathrooms were renovated, but corridors, dining area, and gym are old and in need of refurbishment. Also, rooms are very noisy – you can hear every movement and conversation in the hallways at night, which severely disturbs sleep. The lobby looks modern but gives a misleading first impression. Service: Only the porter was truly friendly. The rest of the staff (restaurant, cleaning) were rather unfriendly. Beach & Pool: The hotel has no private beach! Directly across the street there is a nice beach, but sunbeds and umbrellas cost €7.50 per day (2 sunbeds + 1 umbrella). Beach towels can only be rented with a €10 deposit each. The pool is very small, with too few sunbeds when the hotel is full. Location: Positive: Lidl supermarket directly next to the hotel, city easily accessible. Conclusion: Definitely not a 5-star hotel, at most 3 stars. Food, service, cleanliness, and facilities were disappointing. Only the location and proximity to the beach were positive points. Not recommended. ******* Response to your comment on my review Food The food is tasteless and not seasoned – it feels more like hospital food. In addition, there are no non-pork cold cuts to choose from, and alongside Edam cheese you could also offer mozzarella and a wider variety of cheeses. Overall, the selection is very modest and does not reflect the standards of a 5-star hotel. Beach & Pool This should have been clearly stated on the hotel’s website – that the beach is not under your management and that sunbeds and umbrellas are subject to an extra charge from an external provider. Guests should be properly informed in advance. Cleanliness The towels and bed linen have a strange, stale smell, which gives the impression that they are not freshly washed. This does not meet the hygiene standards expected in a hotel of your category. Service The staff was unexpectedly unfriendly, and I believe this is something you seriously need to improve, as kindness and professionalism are essential for the reputation of a 5-star hotel. At best, the overall experience reflects the reputation of a 3-star hotel

I read the reviews before to go and I was afraid about what would find when arrive to the hotel. It doesn't feel as 5 stars because we are use to see 5 stars hotels like Four Seasons, but for the price, it is good enough for a weekend, escaping from routine. The location is great and Venus beach is one of the best in Paphos. It has a nice walking path along the sea. View from room is also nice if you have sea view. Service is friendly and we were good attended during all our stay. Room was clean, and bed was big and comfortable but toilets were not from a 5 stars hotel. I mean, toilet has plastic covers, so, doesn't feel premium. Food (dinner and breakfast) was good enough. Food is tasty. I don't think people would have any bother about that because you have plenty of options to eat - but it is true that I missed some ice for my coffee (Freddo Espresso), so I took hot coffee, which I don't like on summer. Overall, my stay was nice and helped me to recover from my the working week. I agree that might not be a 5 stars hotel if you compare with other high class hotels, but it is good enough for spend some days out of routine.

Amazing, more of a 4 star hotel, super close to the city centre. Interior is nice, rooms are spacious and clean, breakfast is huge and staff is professional and polite. If I would find two things to comment on, is the overpriced bar and the pool area that needs serious renovation. I highly recommend this hotel.
