Great Family Holiday
The resort was adequate for a family break across the facilities, with mulitiple pools where you can find a relaxing quieter area or in the kids zones! The food offered was exceptional and the staff were too.

Not long back after a one week stay at this hotel, and we miss it already! The staff, facilities and food are all wonderful. The staff and housekeeping really go above and beyond to help make your stay home away from home. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
With location, the hotel is situated in an ideal location- 5min walk to the harbour, where you can have a dip in the sea or to check out the other side where you have the castle and other archaeological finds. It's about a 15min from the Kings Mall if you need to go shopping and a short walk to the bus stations. There's also 2x wonderful restaurants nearby (The Windmill and Argo). The hotel also has some parking available if you end up renting a car, also worth asking about this as they some have good contacts with rental companies. Highly recommend staying here.

First time visiting- very modern and spotlessly clean. Staff are all friendly and helpful. Beautiful pools- cleaned every morning. Buffet breakfast a good quality and range of English and continental foods. Lots of activities and entertainment. Fantastic location to walk to old castle and harbour and many restaurants and tavernas.
Very family friendly and safe.

Stayed for a few days. The room was a bit dated and our kitchen has zero plates, utensils, etc. The pool area was nice and the breakfast buffet was up to par with other places we've stayed. The gym hours are limited to daytime, so we weren't able to use it before breakfast as we normally would

Great food with a good variety. Good bar service and variety of drinks. Good entertainment all day and night. Not over crowded and plenty of sunbeds. The hotel was only a few minutes walk from the marina to so a good location.
Negatives - it would benefit from a water filling station, the gym opened too late each day, snack bar could do with improvement and the a la carte restaurant was fairly inaccessible and not a good deal as had to pay a fair amount to use it.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

overall a good hotel
hotel with good and bad things. Good - location, cleanliness, order. Not good - staff in dining room, explanation of hotel facilities at check-in, basic shower room ,not even body lotion . The hotel staff is charming and attentive, except for the dining room workers! We took half board and do not serve drinks at dinner to those on half board. Not even water!!! This needs to be fixed quickly! Other than that, overall a good hotel.

We (family of 3) just returned from 9 nights stay in Sofianna Resort & Spa. The whole experience was fantastic, check-in was seamless, the room as expected, staff could not have been more helpful be it at the desk, restaurant, bars, pool, the housekeeping team or spa. Everyone had amazing customer service skills, and always a smile on their face, requests were pre-empted. The entertainment team was putting on a great show everyday. The pool was fantastic, no issue securing loungers, plenty of parasols to allow shade.
The all-inclusive choice was plentiful with different themes each night: Asian, Mexican, Carvery, Italian, International, Greek & Cypriot
The location of the hotel itself is within walking distance of main tourist attractions: the harbour, unesco archeological centre, ottoman baths, st Solomon’s catacombs and several orthodox churches, as well as the shopping mall.
I treated myself to the ice facial on the last day, which was absolutely amazing. After days in the sun the treatment made my skin feel relaxed, moisturised and look much smoother; honestly the best facial I ever had.
If I was to draw one negative it would only be to note that unlike other hotels I have stayed in in other countries, there was no information about tours displayed in the hotel lobby to guide guests. Perhaps a few leaflets could be useful though these can be found through the tour companies located 10min walk away in the harbour.
Thanks to all at Sofianna for your hospitality and service!

very basic hotel. we were disappointed as we expected something extra from a 9.0 rated "resort and spa" hotel. we stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, two adults and a baby.
the good things we were happy about: very family friendly hotel with a nice kids club and baby pool. great crib for the baby provided upon request! our room (deluxe) was big, the bedroom was separated from sitting area so we could put the baby to sleep and stay in the living room. fridge in the room was big compared to other hotels.
we stayed on an "all inclusive" - the food was nice and the variety was good. we especially liked the marking on each dish mentioning allergies!
the not so good things we were disappointed from: first the location of the hotel is very misleading it seems like the center but actually it is surrounded by old living buildings and creapy alleys - not the nice part of pafos. also there are constructions that really damage the way to the beach. the bed and sofa were horrible! we had backaches all day. the sofa had an itchy fabric and it was gross to sit on. the view we got was to the trash bins and laundry so we didn't use the porch at all (i would mention the staff offered us another room with better view after two nights but it we decided not to move because of the baby). room design is old. there were no small shampoo due to "eco friendly" and they change the towels (which was not so nice) once in 2 days.
we paid 310 usd per night-this is not a cheap hotel, not value for money.

I always read reviews and do my homework before choosing a hotel. Here's my clear and honest opinion, hoping it helps others make the right choice.
We arrived at the hotel around 10 PM due to late flights. The receptionist (unfriendly,likely from Taiwan or the Philippines) greeted us.A guy helped with the luggage and brought us sandwiches (not great, but appreciated). even a crib and baby bathtub for our toddler.The floor appeared clean but was sticky.Our crawling toddler's hands and knees were always dirty. Sheets weren't changed even after the scheduled three days,despite visible marks. Towels should be changed every two days or if left on the floor;ours weren't.Poolside seating was insufficient, forcing us to sit on the grass.The children's pool area lacked adequate shade,making it uncomfortable.Cocktails had minimal alcohol,tasting more like juice.The all-inclusive package included three types of draft beer.Bartenders were nice and friendly. The dining room had different food themes each night (Italian,BBQ,Mexican,etc.)The food was decent but not exceptional. Meat was often dry.Dining room staff were helpful and friendly.The receptionist was unhelpful with a late check-out request. We only needed an extra hour due to our taxi to the airport, but she insisted on charging half a night's cost.Our friends,who arrived with three kids, were made wait 40 minutes in the lobby use the facilities despite having an all-inclusive package.
Overall,rate the trip a 7 out of 10
