Aqua Sol Village 4 * (Cyprus, Paphos): holiday pictures and reviews

This article is devoted to the Aqua Sol Village Hotel 4 * (Cyprus, Paphos). Many tourists, before going on a trip, study the reviews left by travelers who have already visited this or that hotel. But these responses can be too subjective and very dependent on the mood. Tourists contradict each other, and this applies to everything: rooms, catering, services, staff attitudes. Some of them were summed up by their tour operator, and they describe it as a lack of a hotel, although the staff here has absolutely nothing to do with it. We tried to learn the maximum number of reviews only those travelers who rested at the hotel recently (in summer and in the velvet season of two thousand and sixteenth year). Analyzing these responses, we have compiled a digest that will allow you to make up your own opinion about the hotel. To begin with, let's just say that it's networked: it belongs to the network of Aqua Sol Hotells.

Where is the hotel located

First of all, it should be said that there are two representative offices in Cyprus, in the Paphos area. One of them is called Aqua Sol Holiday Village Water Park 4 * (or category A). The second one is simply called "Aqua Sol Village 4 *". And this is a completely different hotel. It is also called the "Aqua Sol Water Park Resort". These hotels are not located in the neighborhood. "Aqua Sol Village" is located in the western suburbs of Paphos. The second is territorially owned by the resort of Coral Bay, fifteen kilometers from the city. The hotel we are describing is located near the airport - it will take about half an hour. It stands at the very shore of the sea, on the front page, but at the foot of the hill. That is, to get to the infrastructure of the city, you will need to go uphill. Category A ("Village Water Park") is separated from the beach by road. It is famous for its water park (which is reflected in the name).

Territory and buildings of the complex

Both "Aqua Sol" representative offices in Pafos are aparthotels. They consist of several dozen two-storey villas painted in terracotta, which creates a festive mood for a holiday in the Mediterranean. The territories of both hotels are not very large, but not close. All the space, not occupied by buildings and swimming pools, is adapted to a beautiful park. In the lobby of Aqua Sol Village 4 * you will be greeted by the receptionist. If you do not speak English, administrator Maria, who speaks excellent Russian, will do. At the reception you can buy an Internet access card. It costs five euros for an hour and a half. The area near the hotel is very nice. The hulls are so as not to cover the view of the sea. There is a beach near the hotel, but it is rocky. As a result, the water is transparent, like a tear, but you can swim only in aqua-shirts ... Or you'll have to go to another beach, sandy. But there it is very convenient to take sea baths.

Rooms and Apartments

Beautiful two-storey villas Aqua Sol Holiday Village 4 * (Cyprus) accommodate one hundred forty-nine rooms for guests. They fall into only two categories. Half of the rooms are apartments with one bedroom, and the second - "Suites". The difference between them is not easy to isolate. At first glance, the apartment is supposed to have a mini-kitchen. But if you take the "All inclusive" service program, then in the room there will be only a sink and a very small set of tableware. Tourists with young children who planned to cook themselves, demanded a stove, and their requests were taken into account. In the "Suites" guests will find a living room, bedroom and bathroom. The rooms, which are on the second floor, have balconies. The premises in the basement are furnished with furnished terraces. If you are calm about creeping bugs, you can safely book rooms on the first floor - they are more spacious.
