Our children were aged 12 and 7 so were placed in the same room as us. This did make for a very tight squeeze and a larger room would have been better however the rest of the what the holiday had to offer compensated.

We ate in the hotel 3 times and each time the food was excellant, not typical canteen style self service but easily 4 plus star waiter service with food served to the highest standard.

The pool was exceptional and very clean but more importantly great for children and adults.

Cheapest pool tables we have ever seen at only 50 cent per game, we were used to paying 2 euros on past holidays.

Only down side was cyprus as a whole was extremly expensive. In most cases you did get a high standard of service and a good quality of food to out weigh the costs. But some basic stuff such as drinks and sandwiches were crazy prices. Watch out....

Just like to say this hotel is great food was good breakfast fab. Lots to choose from evening meal buffet and lots to choose from again,the evening in hotel not too bad but we went out most evenings and came back for drinks later bar close at 1 am pool very large.

Rooms cleaned every day you get clean towels every day and pool towels. We travelled with small childern and they have kids meals every night,outside the hotels there are lots of bars and restrants so if want to go bed and breakfast you can.

The pool bar is great and there a pool restaurant food ok here go to Fieasta by Avanti village its lovely. Great cheese burgers to get to harbour about 20min walk but nice walk. I would go back. We had a great family holiday there were 13 of us,

We have just returned from a large family holiday staying at the Avanti.

The hotel is lovely, it is clean and well maintained.

The pools are fantastic, especially for little ones as there is a seperate childrens pool close to the main pool. I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old who wanted to be in different pools so I could see them both at all times.

We stayed half board so ate all our meals there, the food was excellent, so much choice and something different every night. The childrens menu was a bit plain, sausages, beans, chips and spaghetti with a different sauce each night, but seeing as my kids were happy to eat from the main buffet it wasn't a real problem.

The evening entertainment was not the best I had been too in the past, but bearing in mind it was the height of the world cup, again it wasn't something that bothered us.

The rooms were large and very clean. The balcony we had over looked the outside of the resturant and looked out towards the sea, not that we saw much as we were out all day.

The staff were well presented, friendly and very helpful.

The only downside that I think the hotel needs to look at is breakfast time, there was no monitering of who was and wasn't eating and it appeared guests from all over were coming in for a free breakfast, not just those who had paid to be eating there!!!

On arrival the hotel looks pretty unimpressive, it was the first stop from the airport and only four people from a full coach got off! - Once inside it got better, reception staff were really helpful, especially Helen who seems to work 24 hours a day.

Hotel was clean, spacious, room was ok, but for a 4* could have been better. Pool and grounds are lovely, very spaciously laid out and we never felt crowded.

Breakfast was very disappointing, fine if you want a fry-up, but if your looking for fresh fruit, yoghurts and selection of croissants you will be disappointed, often had to wait for cereal bowls & cutlery, we ended up going out for breakfast.

It is a fair walk to the port where there is a much better selection of bars and restaurants which were surprisingly cheaper and better quality than around the hotel. A taxi costs 4 Cyprus pounds each way.

All the hotel staff were very friendly and approachable, entertainment wasn't for us, karaoke and live singers 'tie the yellow ribbon round the old oak tree' it might be the time of the year. Most of the guests were retired or large family groups. Having said that we didn't see a cloud for a week and had a very relaxing time, although probably wouldn't go back.

My wife and I were at the Avanti Hotel the last two weeks of May.

We were not impressed by the outside when we arived as it looked slightly tacky when compared to other 4 star hotels in the area. It definately needs a coat of paint.

We were pleasantly surprised with other aspects of this hotel though. This hotel had friendy attentive staff, was clean with a nice airy reception and lounge, rooms that had new towels daily, nice pool area (and the pool was NOT cold) and large, pretty gardens.

We stayed B&B and were very happy with the breakfast. Unlike other comments, there was plenty of fresh fruit, plenty of croissants and plenty of yoghurt that was in two huge bowls in the chilled shelf and constantly topped up. (Oh both peach and strawberry yoghurts were to die for)!

The only slight disappointments were the supposed pool view from the fourth floor which was a "top of the trees view" and the mini fridge that sounded like a steam train at idle all night. Both minor problems though.

We stayed B&B. The breakfast was very good. Unlike other comments, there was plenty of fresh fruit, plenty of yoghurt (in two big bowls) and plenty of croissants. We came down for breakfast early and late and all items were in abundance every morning.

Yes we would visit again. Not the best hotel but it passed the test very easily!

Unlike other comments though, there was plenty of fresh fruit (either whole or pealed and sliced), plenty of croissants (near the far corner in a cabinet) and plenty of yoghurt (that was in two huge bowls in the chilled shelf) and all were constantly topped up by staff the entire morning. (Oh both peach and strawberry yoghurts were to die for).

The only slight disappointments were the supposed pool view from the fourth floor which was more of a "top of the trees view" and the mini fridge that sounded like a steam train at idle all night. Both minor problems though.

We were pleased with our room on the 4th Floor, it was above the reception overlooking the poolside of the hotel, although you couldnt see the pool. The room was a very good size and very clean.

Breakfast was the same every day, except one day it was mushrooms the next tomatoes. There were various yoghurts, cheese, ham, fruit, greek yoghurt & honey, cereals, toast with various types of bread, minature croissants, scrambled eff, fried egg, bacon mini sausages and baked beans. Tea coffee and fruit juices.

We went to the theme nights in the restaurant a few times and found that there was always plenty of starters, the main meal consisted of meat but not alot with it, and there seemed to be the same basic puddings. The childrens menu was very limited.

The pool area gets very busy, but there are plenty of sunbeds. There are pool towels that you can use and at the end of the day take them back for washing. The area inbetweeen the main pool and the toddlers pool gets very slippery. There were alot of children going down with ear infections, so beware. There is also an inside pool which is like an icy plunge pool, and is not for the faint hearted!!!!

The Animation team consists of Monica and Helena, who do a brilliant job daily with french boules, archery, volley ball,table tennis, water polo and a aerobic session. They also do the kids mini disco at 9pm for 30 mins and sometimes bingo too.

The evening entertainment is dire, if I ever hear Shakin Stevens 'Oh Julie' again I will scream!!!! There are various 'acts' all as bad as each other.

The outside areas of this hotel have lots of steps, but we did see lots of wheelchairs and pushchairs who all seemed to manage to get around ok.

There are lots of howling cats too here, some have seen better days, but if you feed them, they come back in a gang.

The hotel does offer a laundry service which is very expensive, but just outside the hotel is a much cheaper one.

There is a pathway out to the main road by the pool, but at night it is not a lit up area and the pathway is not smooth. Also, there are various areas around the pool which have jagged steps.

Small children should always be watched in the evening as it is not too well lit up any where within the grounds.

All in all, this hotel should not be rated as a 4* just a 3*.

Just got back for the new year.
The food was ok except for the xmas eve gala dinner,which was awful if you cant eat fish or do not like a la carte.
we had to buy food outside for the children each day as we were not informed that they could have had a chidrens menu till we were leaving.

When we complained the manager did not seem very concerned and the airtours rep was the same{not the young girl on site} but her boss.

In all some of the staff were superb it is the managers who should learn tact.
I will only stay at the Avanti if there is a major change of policy.

We went out to Paphos for the first time for our wedding. Our party consisted of 10 adults and 2 infants.
Roms very tidy and well decored furniture etc, and maid service once a day.

We stayed half board and the meals were varied for the week with at least 8 different meals available each night in a buffet style. The breakfast was also very good.

The staff were very friendly towards us and they even kept our little one entertained at meal times. Around the bar,pool very clean rarely see rubbish left for more than 5 mins.

The hotel were brilliant in organising our reception for the wedding they sorted everything we required.

Daytime entertainment was varied inc. waterpolo,archery,and painting,football and games for the kids. evening entertainment was ok which included local actsand every other night a kids disco that kept the kids going for half a hour.

Overall a very good experience, we would recommend this hotel.
