My wife and I stayed at this hotel on a self catering basis. We both felt that we stayed in a clean well managed complex, and had no hassle from the begining to the end of our holiday.

The issue I read on the reviews about the hill are exagerated, we saw plenty of pensioners climbing it in less than ten minutes.

Particularly enjoyable was the experience of laying on a sunbed under an umbrella (if you chose) and looked directly onto the sea.

Stopped here out of season so wasnt expecting too much--but was pleasantly surprised.

The rooms were cold on a night and the air conditioning wasnt that hot--so a few more blankets or vodka and cokes remedied that!!!

The hotel itself is situated at the bottom of a very steep hill and would be a problem for people with walking difficulties--this road is badly lit and also has a few pot holes.Was only about 5 mins walk from the resort of Coral bay. The hotel is situated on a rocky/shingle coast line and is ok for older kids to play on.

The pool was clean and the area around the the pool and leading to the sea was very spacious--plenty of room for the kids to run wild including a slide and a volleyball net. The hotel staff were brilliant, very friendly and couldnt do enough for you.

The entertainment was provided by the reps in the form of karaoke, quizzes etc and there was also a greek night with traditional dancers.

Bar prices were average for the resort but made most of the BOGOF on cocktails between 7 and 8 and 11.30 and 12.30(bar closed at 1am). We stayed self catering but did use the hotels restauarant on one occiasion--CYP5.5 for a buffet style evening meal which was well above average although the breakfast(CYP 5 for a family of 4) could have been a bit hotter.

The rooms were cleaned every other day to a high standard. All in all a very good accomadation and would definitely return.

We booked this hotel as a last minute deal. My friend had stayed in Paphos before and we were looking to escape the grim British winter and enjoy a bit of sunshine. This wasn

First of all I have to say that we got a great deal for this hotel via the internet.

Our room was of a good size, fairly well appointed and decorated to a reasonable standard. The beds and the general furnishings were very comfortable. Having said that, talking to other guests we may have been very lucky.

The rooms were cleaned every other day to a very high standard. In fact on day the maids washed a few dishes that were left in the sink. We also had a very nice sea view via a large balcony.

The grounds were fairly well kept and generally clean with a couple of exceptions.

The small pool at the bottom of the 'waterfall' was very dirty with quite a bit of rubbish in it. Also the were a couple of areas that needed clearing of rubbish on the grassed/rocky area (not a beach!)leading down to the sea.

Now for the location. So called 'cardiac hill' wasn't as bad as we expected from reading other reports. Although it did indeed have several large potholes and was very badly lit. Having said that the hotel was very well positioned in relation to the Coral Beach resort.

The staff very efficient in our dealings with them, and also very pleasant.

As for the entertainment, well it was typical of the type in this kind of complex. It was very much geared to families, and as we traveled as a couple we didn't take advantage of it at all. I was quite happy to put up with the disco music for the 'Aquasize', but failed to see why we had to put up with loud music all day from the poolside bar, especially as much of it was continually repeated.

We would not visit the hotel again, mainly due the location of the resort.

We were extremely happy with the Aqua Sol Village. The cleanliness of the Hotel, the service and the facilities.

Our room was cleaned well every other day. (I don't think Howard Potts realises that most of Greece and Cyprus have been using the 'no toilet paper down the toilet rule' for quite some years now, and it wasn't a rule made by the Hotel).

The Apartments are pleasant well sized and practicle. Most of them have decent views over the pool and or sea. The bathroom was well sized and well ventilated. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and the Kitchen was more than adequate.

The receptionists were all lovely especially the lady with blonde hair (sorry I'm bad with names). Both outdoor pools were lovely - with plenty of comfy Sun beds.

The entertainment was great - there was a wake up song @ 10.30am (good morning, good morning) then Aquasize (water aerobics) went onto until 11.00am, and some music always carried on after that for around an hour.
There was an afternoon quiz which was sometimes very tricky. Water Polo every day for Children and Adults.
The evening entertainment was good, Bingo almost everynight and a wide selection of entertainment catering for adults such as Casino/Quiz/Cabaret, the Children had mini disco to knacker them out in the early evening. Andy, Becky and Laura were great. Laura has an amzing singing voice, Pop Idol watch out!

We didn't eat in the Hotel at all (however some other guests said that it wasn't all that). There are enough restaurants at the top of the hill (yes it was a nasty hill, but kept you fit). The Italien restaurant on the corner - opposite the Bus Stop was lovely.

In the Brochure it may say about sea views. This doesn't mean the hotel is on the Beach tho - it was a very rocky beach which no body ever went on. The Main beach is a 15 walk away and is OK. Nothing like the beaches in Ayia Napa and Protaras.

There is a Gym on site but don't get excited as it's a small (smelly) room, with some Dumbells and excercise Bikes. But who wants to work out in that heat anyway.

Definately a Hotel that suited most ages, especially Children, and Adults that are young at heart and like to have a laugh.

We asked for a quiet hotel at the travel agents and they sent us here, a "Family first unit". We therefore got off to an appalling start which is now subject to legal proceedings.
Having said that, I found our room to be shabby, ill cleaned and very well worn around the edges.
You should be aware of the generator room which was 7 yards from our room and on the go 24 hours a day and is clearly audible.
The travel agent never mentioned the charming arrangements for lavatory paper, it doesn't go down the loo but into a basket next to the loo, thereby stinking out the apartment and attracting God knows what wildlife.
The music starts at 10am and finishes at 12pm when parents and grizzly kids stagger back to thier rooms and begin slammingdoors....wonderful!
The food in the hotel restaurant is mediocre at best although there are numerous eating places at the top of the hill.
Yes, THE HILL. Our travel agent described it as "A bit of an incline" Ha bleedin' Ha! It's like the north face of the Eiger, and being disabled, I was totally unable to get up it.
My family and i moved out of this dump after one night and paid dearly for the privelege.
I can only describe it as a workingmans club with sunshine.....never, ever again.

Just got back from the Aqua sol village, we thought it was fantastic. Apart from the hill it is down which ,means if you would rather not spend money on taxis or hire vehicals then you are faced with a very steep hill which was ok for us as we are young but not very good for elderly or those with children.

Personally we went out at night to the village at the top but on a few nights we stayed and the entertainment was amazing for children even though i now have "cartoon Heros" stuck in my head!!

The best feature of the hotel were the Pools. The main outdoor one was huge and never over crowded the childrens pool was built well so that parents can sun bathe around it but the hidden beauty is the indoor pool which you can look down on from the main floor and it is surrounded in water falls very beutiful.

The rooms are basic but thats perfect when away. so overall it was a pleasurable stay.

The hotel was clean and the staff excellent, the restaurant had a good selection of food each day with a themed menu on an evening. The BBQ night was particularly good value.

The entertainment was aimed at families and was enjoyable the nights we were at the hotel.

The only thing that we complained about was the hill which you had to walk up to get to Coral Bay itself not for the faint hearted!!! But worth the walk there were some good restaurants in coral bay and the bus service into Pathos itself was cheap (1 cypriot pound) and reliable. Taxi was about 5/6 CY

The aqua sol was on the whole a good place to stay . However we were a little disappointed with the rooms, which were sub standard for a 4 star. Examples are broken drawers, burns on furniture etc.

The cleanliness I have rated low mainly due to the inside pool area and spa which was really bad, but the main pool was cleaned daily and the rooms a bit sporadically although should have been daily .

The hotel is at the bottom of what is described as a 'slight incline' understatement of the year!! So the location is not the best if you have a pushchair /wheelchair to lug about. The whole apartments also had steps only ( no ramps) which makes having small children in buggies a problem.

The entertainment is butlins in the sun. The kids absolutely loved it and the entertainers were fantastic. The only trouble is that yes I did the dances after a few drinks which is bad and have brought the CD home to do them at home after a few!!
