Beautifully clean, amazing staff, lovely cocktails and lovely pool. The kids club is well run too. This property fell down for inedible evening buffets, and pools that were limited to only certain rooms even though I paid for a ‘royal’ room. The restaurants in walking distance were also not great. Overall not great value.

Just perfect

We got married here 10 years ago we have been back a few times and it never disappoints. It’s a beautiful hotel, excellent food, facilities and lovely staff.

It is a lovely hotel. The breakfast is wonderful, the wifi is very good. The swimming pools are too warm to be refreshing in the heat, so it was too bad that the first days of my stay the waves were too rough for swimming in the sea.

We liked how it was in keeping with the Italian style. The staff were so friendly and nothing seemed to be any trouble.

Another fantastic stay at the excellent Elysium. We do consider other hotels in Paphos but we are constantly drawn back to The Elysium!

Lovely stay. Some areas of the property would benefit from updating, indoor pool etc.

The hotel and staff were fantastic, by far the best experience we have had in Cyprus to date.

One of the best hotel stays I have ever had. Exceptional room, clean quiet and comfortable . The staff were amazing and willing to help with any problem—there was a pillow concierge! Even with a higher occupancy the resort didn’t feel crowded. Buffet breakfast was great as were the themed evening meals. Ate at the Italian restaraunt on site—what a great room! Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend to anyone. The only problem is we have to stay somewhere else for the rest of our holiday! A tough act to follow

The architecture of the hotel is beautiful and along with the location, that is the biggest plus for this hotel. The hotel is very clean and kudos to the entire staff. Every afternoon they bring small cookies to the room complimentary. Breakfast is excellent, varied. Excellent internet throughout the resort! These are the things that the hotel justifies 5*. As for the bad experience, there are also a lot of things I have to mention. Dinner in terms of quality and quantity does not deserve a hotel like this. Very simple. Almost every day everything is the same except for three or four main dishes that change. I have been in many 5* hotels and the dinner here is at a very low level. We booked the Royal Villa with a private pool because we wanted our own pool and privacy. It's a waste of money. The villa has no privacy, the pool is not heated, it is very cold (like all other outdoor pools) and we could not swim. We stayed end of april, beginning of May.You have no privacy, because all the rooms around you, as well as other guests and staff who pass by the villa, look directly at you. The air conditioning in the villa was noisy , some noise was there non-stop, even the air condition is off, there was still the annoying noise, and I couldn't sleep.We were guests of this hotel for seven nights. I informed the staff about it four times, after the fourth time they took action, but in the end of the day they couldn't do enything.

A traditional design property, but clean and very spacious. Excellent staff, so friendly and efficient. Good food with a wide variety. We only ate at the buffet restaurant as we found that the themes changed daily so didn't feel the need to try the additional restaurant options. Staff were very attentive and couldn't do enough for us.

I cannot fault this Hotel in any way. It was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The hotel overall was immaculate, and the rooms kept spotlessly clean. The meals where plentiful and of a very high standard and catered well for gluten-free. The hotel is ideally located close to the old town and harbour. A free shuttle bus does take you in but not on a return. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Paphos or even Cyprus.

Undeveloped area surrounding the hotel and very dated accommodation. Poor value for money and definitely not 5 star!

We absolutely loved our stay with our two young daughters. The staff were wonderful, food was great and the pools and outdoor space was amazing. Sunset dips in the sea and cocktails on the terrace made for wonderful memories. Thanks so much Elysium - you are fantastic and we cannot recommend you more highly.
