Hylatio Tourist Village

Superior room overlooking swimming pool was very spacious with comfortable beds. We spoke to a lot of guests who have been going to the hylatio for many years although I’m not sure what the attraction is. Whilst we were there we had many Romanian students doing drama or something, they were loud and quite ill mannered and disturbed the majority of the age 60+ guests. I stayed at the hylatio many times in the early 2000s but much has changed since then, expanding the premises but I prefer the old intimate self catering hylatio to what it is now. We saw the same owner but he was less friendlier this time as I remembered back then. However, the staff from Nepal are very friendly and hard working. We were AI but found the drinks very inferior to other local spirits we have at other hotels in Cyprus (we are ex pats living in Paphos) but the local wine was good Breakfast offered continental cheese, ham, cereals, porridge and hot English breakfast items. The quality of the sausages were poor and the baked beans tasteless but the bacon and egg were good. I agree with another reviewer that a second coffee machine is needed as you could stand in a queue for quite a while. For lunch/dinner although the food was plentiful there was little choice ie on two nights we had spicy chilli chicken and hot chicken curry. There was an alternative but if you cant eat spicy foods you are very limited on choice ie chicken nuggets/fish fingers of low quality. There is offered only one type of salad to choose from. For dessert only one choice of cake but you are able to help yourself to ice cream. It was adequate for our short 3 day stay but would not consider staying for longer due to the poor quality drinks and food on offer and very little to do other than lie on a sun bed that most were damaged or stained or swim in the large pool

We had a great week away. The staff are amazing! So helpful and friendly. Shout out to the girls in bar/restaurant area that made our time special and a massive thanks to the receptionist, who on seeing how upset we were that another guest had taken our hire car from the company (the guy didn’t check for our name and room number when dropping off), called the local taxi company so we could still go to Paphos for the day. Taxi company are fantastic. Always ask reception to book your taxi. The room though basic, was cleaned everyday by cheerful cleaners. The food was so lovely that we ate there every night. Buffet that comes part of all inclusive but can be paid for at lunch and dinner was different each day and great for our 9 yr old to sample small bit of everything. Breakfast is both English (fry up) and continental which was lovely. As others have said, the sun beds are all gone very early but some become free late afternoon. The singers on Saturday and Monday are really good. We would definitely love to go back!

Dated rooms not animal friendly accomodation. Not enough sunbeds. The bar crew is very friendly. The food isnt that good.
