Venus Beach Hotel

Suse Jörres

The hotel was nice. Probably the best beach access directly in Paphos city. Pool looked nice but we didn't use it Super nice walking path connection to the touristy center of the city directly at the sea front was a big plus. Perfect for a run in the morning. The room was clean and basic, not a fancy room but spacious. The bar was nice with a sunset view. We only booked including breakfast and can't complaint. Various offers for vegetarians. Nothing outstanding but vegetables, omlette bar, some local food, fruits etc. All employees- reception, bar, buffet, cleaning service- were super friendly. The gym is nothing much, so don't plan with it but therefore they have two tennis courts. Beside the lights in the evening for a very fair price it was free of charge including racket and balls. Up to the rather local center it is better to take a car or a cab but within a 6 minute drive easy to reach and definitly to be recommended for some nice dinner. To summarize: we got what we paid for :)

A wonderful beachfront hotel with breathtaking sunset views and crystal clear sea. The staff is very warm, polite and always willing to assist. Quite an international crowd during our visit at the end of October, which was great! Clean rooms, restaurants, bathrooms. The buffet breakfast was delicious and quite diverse. We absolutely loved the landscaping in the hotel complex! And it is literally next to the archeological site Tombs of the Kings. Please have in mind that taxi cabs in Paphos are quite expensive. Since the hotel is a bit far from the boardwalk and the city center, we were quite surprised by the cab rates. The only downfall at the hotel were the beds in the room - extremely hard mattresses, utterly uncomfortable, you could feel the springs poking into your body. Perhaps management could consider using comfortable top mattresses. Other than that, it was a perfect little vacation for us!

So first the big problem is I arrived back at home Thursday morning. With food poisoning!!! I am now on day 4 of puking every 40mins I can’t keep fluid down and I’m also pregnant. I emailed the hotel three days ago about this with no response as of yet. Not to complain but to let them know I have salmonella from their salmon sushi they sell at the bar. Which they have no given a response below to say I requested no medical assistance which if you read my review. I had already left the venue 4 hours after eating my last meal! Just trying to cover their own backs. Which is sad to see considering this is serious and should be investigated. I ate it 4 hours before our flight home. Was first sick at the airport and then the plane and now 4 days into being home!!! Don’t eat the food there you don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen. As others have stated there is a smell in the corridors towards the rooms. It’s outdated. Next is the fact the walls are paper thin. I can hear every sneeze and every person talking around us. There was a soul festival on all week of our stay which we didn’t know about prior to booking. So we had to try sleep through the loud bass until 11:30pm then die the banging of drunk people coming back to their rooms. So we didn’t sleep at all. The pool is freezing cold, you have a heart attack Everytime you get in it. I thought it’s just Becuase it’s end of season but from previous reviews I can see it’s always this cold. Felt watched every time I brought water bottles in and security turned us away with cookies as they weren’t from on sight. But hey I’m pregnant with cravings and a very poor selection of meal options within the venue. For 5 stars this is a poor hotel and not enjoyable even being back home after I wish we never went or ate there with the sickness I’ve brought back.

The hotel is okay, but unfortunately my mother had bed bugs in her room. The hotel gave us another room which was nicer and had a sea view, however it didn’t sound like they were planning to do much about it. Maybe they even know already but it’s just too expensive to check all the rooms, who knows. Of course the location is perfect.

We were two families traveling together and reserved four rooms at this property. Regrettably, our experience fell well below the standards expected of a five-star establishment. The guest rooms and furnishings appeared inexpensive and lacked comfort, and the interior of the property is clearly in need of maintenance and repainting. A key reason for selecting this hotel was the advertised spa; however, upon arrival we were informed that the spa was closed “until further notice.” Despite this, promotional photographs and descriptions on Booking.com continue to feature the spa, which is misleading to prospective guests. Throughout our three-night stay, we repeatedly had difficulty obtaining drinking water for the rooms. The swimming pool closes at 18:00, which significantly limits guest use. Breakfast offerings were minimal and inconsistent with the expectations of a five-star property. When I politely requested that my eggs be prepared in a particular manner, the cook dismissed the request and responded in a manner that I found unprofessional. Adding to the inconvenience, guests are not permitted to bring food and waste from outside the property, despite the limited and unsatisfactory dining options on site. Considering the price paid, the overall value was disappointing. As a professional in the hospitality industry with extensive international travel experience, I have rarely encountered service and facilities so misaligned with their advertised rating. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues in a meaningful way for the benefit
