Sanders Seaview Paphos

It was a large resort, but the apartments were set in small blocks so it felt like separate houses. This gave it a quiet feel which I liked. One of the pools was supposed to be adult only, but nobody was around to monitor it and I only went once as there were always large family groups there, who thought they owned it. The apartment was very spacious, a two bedroom sea view, with a lovely large balcony, which we loved. It was sparsely furnished, with no paintings, photos, art decorations etc, but it had everything we needed except a bidet which is vital when you can’t flush toilet paper, it has to go in the bin. The staff were great, especially George the pool man. My husband went swimming every morning and really liked George, who was so dedicated to his job. You do need a hire car, which we had. Overall it is nice and I do recommend it. It’s just 10 minutes drive to the UNESCO Nea Paphos archaeological site, which is well worth a visit. Go early if it’s hot though.

We had a very enjoyable stay, the room was great and spacious and had a bath as well as a shower. We did have a few days with no wifi but the reception said it was an issue in the area, so not their fault. The hotel does have great amenities, a gym, 2 pools, sauna and jacuzzi however as we went in December, the pools and jacuzzi wasn’t heated so we weren’t able to use these but the sauna was perfect, as was the big gym! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We agree with other views that you probably need a car to get around, the lidl is a 15 minute walk but that’s the closest shop and in December we were more than happy to walk everywhere but in Summer I can imagine it isn’t nice in the heat so you would probably need a car.

Very clean, spacious and fully equiped apartments; big and very comfortable beds; two bathrooms in 2-bedroom apartments; large terraces with beautiful sunset views; very friendly staff. No cleaning service in the apartments which gives more privacy. Stayed with my children and four grandchildren aging 1 to 13 yrs in 2 apartments and we all had a wonderful time. The place looks like a small cosy village and feels safe and relaxing. Renting a car is handy and Paphos and it's backroads are easy to get around, even if it's your first time driving on the left side of the road.
