My wife and I rested in PAFIAN PARK from 16.07 to 30.07. 08. If you like to swim in the sea, then you have nothing to do in this hotel. The entire coast is solid rocks, sharp and slippery. A section of the sea where you can flounder, standing knee-deep in water, measuring 5 by 3 meters. It is impossible to swim in the sea because of the solid rocks and waves. I broke through this barrier three times - I beat and cut all my arms and legs. The nearest beach where you can swim is a large pool, protected from the sea by an almost continuous dam of heaps of rocks. Walk to it for about 30 minutes along the road, half of which is a country dirt road, and half passes through the territory of a neighboring hotel, there is no shade along the road. The sandy beach of the PAFIAN PARK hotel is an artificial platform 15 meters long and 3 meters wide, on which there are a dozen sun loungers and several umbrellas. Since there is nothing to do in the sea, sunbeds are almost always free. All vacationers at the pool. Therefore, poolside seats are occupied from 6-7 in the morning. The pool is no more than a meter deep, there is a separate children's pool with a depth of 0.5 meters. The pool was full of vacationers, there were a lot of children with different swimming equipment. So you can’t swim more than 2-3 meters in the pool.
The hotel area is small, the hotel itself is located far from the city of Paphos and away from the road, to which the hotel is 150-200 meters uphill. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the city center, the fare is 1.5 euros. By bus you can get to the widely advertised sandy city beach (Coral Bay). Drive 15-20 minutes. You can really swim in the sea on this beach. There are a lot of people, the beach itself turned out to be very dirty, littered, there are no changing rooms, the umbrellas are rusty and barely hold on. There is nowhere to wash your feet from the sand - you have to go to a paid shower (1 euro).
The hotel has animation and various entertainments for adults and children almost all day long, all in English and German and accompanied by very loud music. In my opinion this hotel is more suitable for parents with children who do not need the sea.

The linen at the hotel for 15 days was changed only 1 time, the room was cleaned 2 times, the garbage (water bottles, ashtray, etc. ) was taken out every 3-4 days.
On the positive side, I can only note the food - very varied (even for breakfast, unlike many other hotels in different countries), tasty, well organized - no crowds and excitement, everything is always there.
