We stayed at the Avanti Village for two long weeks having to rise at 6.30am every day to stand any chance of obtaining sunbeds for that day. All in all there are insufficient sun beds at this resort for the number of residents.
The pool was filthy with graffiti scratched into the tide marks around its perimeter.
Maid service was poor. Often the used bath towels were removed and not replaced resulting in a further visit to reception.
The rooms are very basic and not remotely close to "class A" or the "4*" quoted in the high street holiday brochures.
As for the many holiday brochures that boast of the facilities at the "piazza" within the complex you will note as you explore that there are none!!! The building works are currently incomplete and there is no bank, bar/s, restaurants etc within this area.
This is our 6th visit to Paphos and the only time we have felt the urge to write. In the past we have stayed at the Cypria Maris, Athena Beach and the Amathus, each time being delighted by the accomodation and service. Perhaps there is a diference between the way they grade appartments and hotels? We will not make the same mistake next year.

very cold. no snooker room eventhough it says thyer was not as good pool as avantri village food very posh. There is a dress code to eat there men had to wear long trouses and women had to wear clothes that covered there knees.
In the air conditioned bar there was a small dance floor and a wide screen tv. All entertainment took place outside and unless you got there at 6.00 you wouldn't be able to see with a big group of people you felt uncomfortable when sitting down because as soon as we got up they sorted out the chairs again.
The service was lousy and you had to ask to be served. we wasn't even staying here.

I was really pleased that we chose to stay at the Avanti Holiday Village. Although it was a slight walk (15 mins) to Bar Street and the livlier bars etc, it's not really much time at all when you are on holiday and we enjoyed the strolls into town. There are many bars and shops on the way to stop at.
The accommodation was really spacious and clean and the pool area was lovely and clean too. Plenty of sunbeds for everybody so we never had to search around to get 4 together. Staff were friendly and the maid service was excellent. The Piazza is not yet finished but the building work going on is quite far away from all the accommodation so no noise whatsoever.

We think the Avanti village is a beautiful spacious and well run resort and we will be returning next year.
We booked with First Choice and chose to have breakfast and Dinner in the Avanti Hotel next door which is also very nice.
The staff is very helpful and friendly and the hotel is kept spotless.
It has a very large swimming pool with waterfalls and a lazy river which both we and our children enjoyed.
It's location is great too.

We arrived bleary eyed at 2.00 am,we were absolutely delighted with our first impression of The Avanti Village.
Spotlessly clean with a huge pool area which looked superb and inviting in the moonlight,after a few hours sleep it looked even better in the daytime. Plenty of loungers , stacks of space around the pool and a pool bar with cold beer!!
The apartments were spotless and spacious even for us with two grown-up teenagers and the complex was laid out in a pleasing village style setting with gardens and flower borders throughout.Daytime entertainment was sporting based with a David Beckham lookalike which met with approval from my wife and daughter!
Night time was a different matter, the complex was extremely Quiet with most folk choosing to go into town or over to the sister hotel about 400 mtrs away. Overall I`d thoroughly recommend these apartments to any one who didn`t mind the slightly out of the way location.It suited us perfectly.
A short walk to at least a dozen restaurants or a five minute bus trip to the town centre.I generally don`t like to go back to the same place twice, but i think in the case of the Avanti Village I would consider it.

We were really dissapointed with the location of the villiage...so far from the biz.
The maids came often enough but on more than one occassion took the dirty towels away without replacing them.
For apartments that were supposed to be just a year old they were really showing signs of age(ie;rust seeping from the bath rail)our bathroom light konked out and it took three attempts to fix it.
There was just no entertainment at night and it was a waste of time attempting to go to the attached hotel as they had fenced off the path connecting them. The prices at the bar was double the prices nearer the harbour.
All in all we would not recommend this place as it was no way 4 star.

Stopped here July 2005.
Rooms are of good size but not enough wardrobe space for 4 people.
Massive pool area but the pool itself is too warm and you don't get to cool of very well.
The bar closes at 12 which was too early.
The hotel shop didnt stock anything much really and the ones at the bottom of the road were not much better.
A few bars about half a mile away.
The night entertainment at the sister hotel was very poor so don't waste your time going, head for bar street for a good night.
If the hotel made some small changes like the shop, later bar and some decent night entertainment it would be nearly perfect.

We booked thes appartments as our friends had also booked here and in the broucher it looked like a good place to stay with our boys who were 9 and 7.
We were deffinatly not dissapointed- the pool was very large and not that deep(my 7 year old didnt use his arm bands after the second day) and the lazy river is great for adults too.
The appartments were very clean and the maids came most days although they say they only come twice.
Luckily for us both us and our friends were in block A which was right next to the pool.
The gym and the sauna look clean but i never saw anyone using them and the kids room was rather sparce but the boys liked it(as well as the x box which is in reception 50c a go)
There was a cut through to the avanti hotel but on our last day it was frenced off which ment you have to walk all the way around.
There are varying places to eat the rib shack and the zambeezi(near the aloe hotel)were great and if you want cheap english breakfast go to the moulia fish and chip shop next to the avanti hotel(

We had originally booked to stay at the Avanti hotel, but were not happy with our room, so we asked if we could be moved. The manager said we had a choice, we could all be moved to the village and all go for half board.
We got married in Cyprus and had our reception in the hotel on the veranda it was perfect we could not fault the food one bit, the reception was perfect.
The village was lovely, pool was clean, they had a pool bar which was really good lazy river for our 6 month old baby.
In the evening the pool bar stayed open till 12,00 serving hot and cold drinks, and had music which was a nice finish to our evening.
We thought the manager was lovely and very helpful the staff was very friendly, we are going back to the village next year.

Visited the Avanti Holiday Village and used its facilities during our stay at the sister Avanti Hotel.
Brand new hotel and it is a superb. Never seen anything similar.
The pool area is enormous with lots of different layers , waterfalls, bridges and a lazy river. It has an indoor pool, gym, helth club and facilities you would never expect in a self catering village. Most importantly, just like the Avanti Hotel it is centrally located.
Staff were very friendly and politely showed us an apartment. The decor is very nice and the apartments are very spacious and luxurious. Very Impressed.
Will try and take our children there this summer.
