We stayed in the Atlantica Golden Beach Hotel for 1 week in November. We travelled with another couple and had a great week - even though the weather wasn't fantastic. We were All Inclusive - booked before we went - and it was well worth it. At this time of year all meals were served in the restaurant, but it was a good size, nicely decorated and always clean. There was always plenty of choice of food - probably too much as we all came home slightly heavier. The drinks on the All Inclusive were also very good - even though it was all local spirits/beers/wines, you really couldn't tell any difference and we sampled them all!

Even though the hotel is outside of Paphos, there are 2 supermarkets within a short walking distance and also a couple of restaurants. However, because the food was so good in the hotel, we never needed to venture out. There is also a good bus service which runs in both directions and taxis were reasonable as well.

When we arrived the summer entertainers were finishing and mid week the new winter entertainers took over. Didn't really think much of the summer entertainers - found them a bit patronising, but Liam, Adam and Sarah that took over were fantastic. We never laughed so much, as they were fun, friendly and down to earth.

The reps in the hotel were also very friendly and helpful. our boat trip was cancelled due to bad weather but they helped arrange a hire car immediately for us so we went of on our travels across the island. Well worth doing this as it's pretty easy to find your way around and there are plenty of places to visit. Just beware of the local drivers ( a bit mental)and the speed cameras.

me and my wife linda stayed in the atlantica beach hotel for the fourth time in oct 07 and found it just as clean each time and the staff always polite and helpful also met a lot of people on each visit and had some good times there the restaurant manager george ( mr cara sperus man ) is very helpful and attentive i am only not going for the fifth time because we are trying the atlantica bay in limassol as achange and just pray it meets the standards set at the beach i would not hesitate to go back again anytime ( my wife would live there)

We went out to the Atlantica Golden Beach to attend our sons wedding in Paphos. We had a bad start we had room 120, as we had paid supplement for a partial sea view room, but our room was overlooking waste ground and if you looked to the left there was a busy main road to coral bay and if you looked to the right the view of the sea was blocked by trees and a satellite dish.

as well as this the room had a big burn in the carpet and the beds where broken and the room smelt strongly of cigarettes, this was not what we had expected for a Thompson gold hotel and where very disappointed.

we reported this to reception and the beds were mended straight away we asked to move rooms but as the hotel was fully booked we had to stay in it for four days after which we moved to another room. The other room was a big improvement on 120 the hotel staff and the holiday reps Ellie and Shaunie are very helpful and friendly we would go as far to say that the staff at the Atlantica Golden Beach are the heart of the hotel.

food is wonderful and once a week they had gala meals with every food you can think of I love fresh fish and the salmon and tuna where my favourites. I do not like to sound negative because I believe each holiday is different and a holiday is what you make it.

On the subject of sun beds if you go when we went in September the hotel was busy and there was not enough sun beds for the amount of guests many people commented on this and found themselves having to get up 7am to reserve a sun bed which we British are not used to doing. It seems unfair to do that but if you did not you had no chance by 9am all beds had gone the pool did get a little crowded at times due to the volume of people staying there.

All in all though apart from room 120 and having to reserve a sun bed it was a comfortable and pleasant hotel. The food was outstanding as are the staff they did every thing in their power to make your stay a pleasant one. One more thing on our your last night the maids come round and present you with a couple of coconut sweets and a single red rose bud with a little message of thanks from the hotel which was a nice touch to the end of your holiday, and on departure some of the management team come to wave and see each and every coach off.

What can I say..... Fantastic! My boyfriend and I spent 11 nights at the Atlantica and loved every minute of it.

The hotel was immaculate and they could not do enough for you. The food was great, there was something different every day and we were never bored.

The staff were brilliant. George, the restaurant manager was great. My boyfriend was taken ill whist we were they (nothing to do with hotel, might I add!) and he even sent up little packed lunch boxes to him in the room. T

he entertainment was brilliant. Suzanne and Camille are the two entertainment reps and without them it would have not been the same. They certainly work hard for their money. The other guests in the hotel were very friendly and you could not ask for a nicer hotel or nicer people.

We would definitely recommend this hotel and are even thinking of going back again in October.

This is the best hotel we have stayed in for several years.There is nothing to fault it.

Food excellent variety and plentiful. Staff polite and very obliging.

Rooms well furnished and very clean.Entertainment good,patricularly the daily 4.oopm quiz which was a laugh.

The manager and staff even wave you off when you leave.Top class.

We upgraded to AI on arrival this cos us

We visited this hotel when we got married in paphos in October 2005. We stayed for 2 weeks and have never stayed in a Thomson Gold hotel before.

It was fab, staff, cleanliness, food, entertainment, was excellent!! Well worth the visit!!

The only thing that was bad (just a little) was the location, its set a little bit out from paphos harbour where all the shops and markets are, but it was easy just to hop on the bus to get there.

Everything you need is in the hotel. I would def consider going to this hotel again, it was fab!!!!

Me and my partner stayed here for our wedding Sep 2005, it was a fantastic hotel would recommend to anyone. It was clean and the staff were very friendly and made you feel very welcome. Its quite a "posh" hotel and we are not posh at all but they made you feel welcome none the less!

We upgraded to AI once arrived - def. cheaper than doing it before you get there. On our wedding night they sprinkled petals all over our room, gave us a bottle of champagne and generally treated us incredibly well.

The only downside is location, its in the middle of nowhere which is fine if you are looking for a lovely relaxed holiday there is a bus stop right outside the hotel.

We stayed at the Atlantica Golden Beach hotel on our honeymoon at the end of August beginning of September 2005. It was superb, that is the only word for it.

The hotel arranged a taxi transfer from the airport and it took about 30 minutes with a very friendly and chatty taxi driver who was waiting for us in arrivals and helped my wife with her baggage.

On arrival at the hotel we where met on the front steps by both a porter and a receptionist. The porter took out luggage straight from the boot of the taxi and the receptionist welcomed us and showed us up to a welcome reception room where they had laid on coffee, juice, cakes and pastries as well as much appreciated comfy chairs. There they explained everything we needed to know about the hotel, how the all inclusive worked and answered any questions we might have on a one to one basis; they also gave us a large envelope of hotel and local information including bus timetables. They then showed us, again on a one to one basis to our room.

We had a superior room with a full sea view which was well worth the money, uninterrupted views of the sea crashing over rocks from our balcony. As previously mentioned other rooms may look our away from the sea and onto a busy road. The room it self was of a decent size, massive Queen size double bed, cushioned wicker furniture, cushioned balcony furniture also, mini bar which was actually not unreasonable priced (or fridge for supplement), controllable air con (all though always on full in August) safe (chargeable), large double and lit wardrobe, beach and bathroom towels, robes, slippers, wine, fruit, flowers (all though did not last very long), as we where on honeymoon there had even sprinkled rose petals all over the room which was a nice touch. The room is also sound proofed for a settled night. You also have access to room service and a laundry service. Our room was also cleaned at least once a day, if we had a siesta it was made up again while we where at dinner. The bathroom was a reasonable size with a bath tub and very powerful always hot shower, many superior aromatherapy toiletries in the bathroom as well. The room was also equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, a TV with cable including BBC World and CNN and another foreign but English speaking channel, there was also Pay Movies, there was a good quality CD/Radio HiFi in our room as well.

The facilities in the hotel where also outstanding. The main lobby area is very impressive with its towering columns interesting art and very comfortable sofas. There is a reasonable gift shop in this lobby which sells the usual gifts, tea towels so on and also toilettes including sun cream, chocolate, sweets and crisps, inflatable sun beds, newspapers and magazines. There is also a broadband internet connected computer (50c for 15 minutes). There are two lifts as well. Just off the main lobby is a balcony area which looks over the pool and grass areas and into the open ocean. Connected to the lobby area is a bar which is very comfortable with deep sofas and the decoration of the room is very warm and sophisticated, great place to relax with a beer and a selection of snacks they offer here. It is, like the rest of the hotel, air conditioned so it

We booked basis half board but took up the drinks option on arrival, cost about
