We visited Kefalos Beach during half term.

Ok, the rooms weren't 5* but they had everything needed, were clean, in good repair and condition. The a/c heating units were more than efficient. Nothing shabby about the rooms.

As breakfast was buffet style there was a lot of choice and good value, the evening meal themed every night.

The location couldn't be faulted.

All the staff were friendly and helpful (I thought one waitress would be joining us for meals when she discovered my husband was a 'native'.

We stayed at the Keflos Beach by accident. The apartments we were staying in were being renovated so we got moved to the Keflos (their sister). All I can say is what a fantastic move.

The rooms along with all the communal areas were very clean. aids came in every day.

Although we were self catering we did have breakfast there which was great. Full english or continental, it was a buffet so you could have as much as you wanted and there was loads to choose from, meats, fruit allsorts! It cost

Stayed at the Kefalos beach village, it was a last minute deal and we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the hotel.

It was great, we had a ground floor studio apartment even though we were on half board, it meant we could have the best of both - meals in the fantastic restaurant and also the use of fridge for making coffee etc.

The staff were excellent, very friendly and the choice of meals good. everything was really clean, the maids did a great job. for october the weather was really nice and we just lazed about on the sunbeds provided - plenty of these with umberellas, we chose to be on the grassy area on the beach.

We will definitely go back to this hotel again, probably for longer next time as we are now retired and have more time.

Best wishes to all at Kefalos beach and keep up the high standard.

We have just arrived back this Monday 10th sept 05 all Ican say is WOW what a fantastic holiday we had!

The complex was absolutely fantastic we didn't want to come home!

There were four of us that went(my mum, her partner, my partner and myself..of course!) We stayed in a one bedroomed apartment, to be honest we were quite worried that the apartment would be over crowded with the four of us, but when we arrived we were shocked as to how spacious the room actually was!

The bedroom was light an airy with twin beds, a dressing table and wardrobes. The bathroom was LARGE and most importantly CLEAN!! the kitchen/sittingroom or bedroom(as we were on the sofa bed(which was extremly comfortable) was well equipt and large!

The hotel itself was a definate plus to the holiday overall! It was located right on the beach with water sport facilites(although I had a bad experience with the guys who ran that... but that was a personal thing nothing to do with the hotel, just take care if you are young female and on your own... however they were friendly).

The pool area was amzingly clean and there we so so many sun beds!!! so you dont have to worry about getting to the pool early in the moring to get a decent spot by the pool! The pool bar served food all day and the drinks are served until 1am!

There was plenty of entertainment going on around the pool all day by the animation team ..which was anything from water areobics to the cocktail game(it's not how it sounds hehe), the team tried to involve everyone but if you weren't interested they didn't try to force or hassle you!

The complex had its own restaurant as well.. but I can't comment on that as we didn't eat in it,there were far too many restaurants to choose from the area! Although we spoke to a few people who had eaten there and they had up graded to halfboard as the food was that good!

My favourite part of the complex was the bar next to the reception area. Pambos the main barman was utterly fantastic! we sat at the bar a few nights..and had a few(sometimes too many) drinks, and chatted away to him! Ithink he is already mentioned on this site actually..and took the pleasure of telling him that, but he already knew! He told us stories and kept us entertained all night long! He is such a lovely genuine person!(I hope he reads this!) if anyone ever meets him...don't forget to ask him how his B&Q lawn is doing? and also how his wife and little boy are!!!

This complex if definitely worth a long long stay! I didn't want to return to England!

Kefalos Beach was everything the brochure said it would be.

The studios were extremely clean and spacious and the one bedroom apartment was very big! The maid service can only be described as excellent. The restaurant was very good value and the staff there were very friendly.

My partner and I got married in Cyprus and were let down by our wedding restaurant at the last minute. My father in law spoke to the Kefalos Manager who organised a table in the restaruant (for 30 people!)at very short notice. The manager also opened the bar early for the wedding party and could not have been more helpful.

The pool area was beautiful and the pool bar served delicious snacks and lunches.

All in all, an excellent choice of accommodation.

Found this hotel from these reviews and we find it difficult to fault this hotel.

There were only two small issues which we had. The first concerned the policy of the hotel's maids to leave apt patio doors open (although the wooden doors behind them were usually secured). The general manager said that in Paphos and Cyprus generally there was little crime and not to worry! He found it difficult to see that knowing we had carefully locked the patio door before leaving the apt on the first full day that on return and finding it open we feared that we had been burgled!

The second issue concerned the air-conditioning unit in the room which spewed a fine oily deposit on the white wall underneath! The hotel painted over the mess once (without prompting) but it returned the next day and they did not find a permanent solution. Not sure whether the problem was with all their units or just ours but they should have sorted the problem better. The unit worked well otherwise.

If you book through JMC ensure you delete need for airline meals and save 10UKP/person. You will get offered the meals anyway and pay nothing!

Just arrived back from a fantastic two week holiday. We chose this hotel as my sister who was getting married in Cyprus was staying here.

We did book independently from them and must say got a fantastic deal. The hotel was lovely and clean and the staff really friendly and helpful.

We stayed in a one bed apartment which was more than big enough for 3 people and although we didn't make use of the kitchen area it was well equipped. We found the resturant food to be really good with a great amount of choice to suit most tastes.

In fact my sister and her family who went Self Catering did join us on for a meal on a number of occasions and couldn't believe the standard of food for the price they paid for it. The pool area did get a bit crowded at times but we soon learnt that you have to follow the crowd and get down early to reserve a sunbed.

The beach area was not crowded and finding a sunbed there was not a problem. The beach was OK, but I would not recommend letting a child swim in the sea as the bottom is rocky and there is quite a strong current.

Overall we had a fantastic stay there and if we hadn't already planned our holiday then we would be booking to go again next year, however we shall definitely choose to go back in the near future.

We stayed at the Kefalos for 2 weeks with our son who was 21 months old at the time and got to say we thought it was a great hotel.

Very clean pool. Fantastic even though it could get a little crowded and you do have to careful of the bridge as it can get quite slippy.

We had a ground floor apartment which was perfect for us. Restaurants just a short walk away only negative point was that the hotel was set back off the main road and wasn't well lit but not a problem as long as you were careful.

Didn't really stay in hotel at night so can't comment on evening entertainment food was ok we upgraded to bed and breakfast when we arrived and this worked out ok for us with a small child waitreses very helpful and took a shine to our son.

Walk to harbour a bit far for young children but main road in front of hotel has everything you need resturants and pubs and shops. Food at San Marinos lovely and owner Tony very pleasant indeed. He remembered us from previous holiday and looks after his customers very well.

All in all a fantastic holiday going to Paphos again in 2007 but staying closer to harbour side as not so far for kids to walk.

The best beaches are at Coral Bay. You can get a bus from main road straight there but get off at very last stop in the car park as this is best part of beach.

Just got back on Saturday and we loved it. The rooms were lovely and clean, we couldn't believe it when we realised it was right on the beach - although the beach was a bit rocky and for a few of the days the red flag was up and you couldn't go in the sea.

All along the grass area were swings/see-saws and climbing toys for the kids.

The pool was a good size but have to say it was very deep. Even in the shallow end neither of mine could touch the bottom. There is also an indoor pool which was freezing but the kids loved that!

There were plenty of sunbeds around the pool and the grass area, when we first arrived it was pretty quiet and easy to get beds, but I have to say the last few days a few weddings were on and it was quite manic around the pool in the day.

The hotel food was not too bad, the downside to it was there wasn't always a childrens selection and if there was it was actually one item i.e. fish fingers or chicken nuggets (not both). The food in the restaurant wasn't bad but we did find the drinks and snacks at the hotel quite expensive.

There were 4 weddings while we were there - and what a lovely place for a wedding, with the little chapel and the beach as a backdrop for photos.

The only complaint I had was the night time entertainment and layout - it was in the poolside bar and really there was no entertainment.

However, all in all it was one of the best places we have visted and I am pretty certain we'll go back.

On first arriving we were very impressed with the layout and how pretty the apartments were with the surrounding plants and flowers.

The reception area was was lovely but some of the staff need to smile a bit more. Maybe because we arrived in a very busy week but the staff seemed to be quite stressed.

We chose this hotel because of it's location for the large party we were in. We were part of a 30 strong wedding party, us being the bride and groom. We had our blessing in the lovely chapel in the the resort and it was fantastic. The hotel was ideal for families with children young and old so it was a good choice for the purpose of our visit.

Even though we were self catering, most of our wedding guests were half board so we joined them several times for breakfast and evening meals. The breakfast was good and plenty of choice. The evening meals were great in the first week , then they get a bit repetitive and the quality went down a bit. As the wedding couple we were provided with a candlelight dinner for two which was fabulous and the service was very attentive.

My biggest complaint would be the availability of sun beds. We were fed up with certain guests reserving beds from 6am. We couldn't even get beds on the grassy area at the far end of the resort. Many of our party complained but the staff didn't seen interested and done nothing about it.
