We haven't visited this hotel for 7 yrs, yet Kostas in the restaurant recognised us straight away! I literally cannot understand some people with their reviews! The hotel is situated on an ideallic beach, where you can take bread and feed the puffer fish by the rocks! Yes the pool is cold, but so is every other pool in the Mediterranean lol. The hotel has had a massive upgrade with their rooms and what a change! The food is absolutely amazing! Different menu every day and hot snacks throughout the day. All inclusive drinks are what you would expect really, but everyone knows what you get so if you are not happy then don't go all inclusive. Marianna the entertainment girl works long hours but always has a a smile on her face. Only downside for us was the evening entertainment, I think it could do with a bit more thought, maybe more interactive with the guests/kids We visited Nissi beach and it was such a disappointment, compared with Sandy Bay where Pavlo is situated. Olympian Dive centre is also situated the hotel. Please Please visit this hotel!! I guarantee you will not regret it!!!!

“Always a friendly welcome at the Pavlo Napa”

After holidaying to the Pavlo Napa many times over the years with my wife prior to her passing away I returned in May for the first time as a solo guest.

After holidaying to the Pavlo Napa many times over the years with my wife prior to her passing away I returned in May for the first time as a solo guest. I was warmly welcomed back so I decided to return again at the beginning of October and I’m glad I did as I was again made to feel at home. I arrived late evening and checked in with Lucas on reception who welcomed me back and advised there was a sandwich and wine and fruit in my room as I had arrived after evening dinner. After unpacking I made my way down to the pool bar. As I was walking there Ivo, the manager of the lounge bar, saw me and came outside to greet me and welcomed me back with a big hug. I continued down to the pool bar and Timmi the bar manager said welcome back would you like your usual ? It was like I’d never been away. The next day I was greeted in the same manner by Costas the restaurant manager who although very busy in his role always found time to have a chat with me and when Costas wasn’t there Stratos took over looking after me. When I saw Stella at reception she invited me into her office to talk and ask how I was. It is because of the way the staff treat their guests why so many people regularly return. I would like to mention a lady who worked in the restaurant whose name Im sorry I can’t remember who noticed after a couple of nights that I was dining alone and started preparing a table for 1 in an area of the restaurant I often sat in. She was very nice and it was very thoughtful of her. There is nothing not to like at this hotel excellent clean accommodation, good variety of food and drink,beach on the doorstep to enjoy the glorious weather if you’re not a pool person and the friendly and hard working staff. Hopefully I will be returning next May.

This hotel was lovely, rooms were modern and spacious, food was plentiful, always a lot of choice, fresh and tasty. Good selection of drinks. Comfortable sun loungers and friendly staff. The pool area was nice, although I imagine peak season would be harder for space and beds. Rooms were cleaned daily. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Just returned from a week at the Pavlo Napa. So many positives but also a couple of negatives. Positives Rooms are modern, clean and spacious. Lots of storage space, aircon is great and the beds are comfy. Food is great, full of flavour and such a wide choice. We never struggled for options. Some dishes could be a little cold. Staff were quick to seat you, take drinks orders and clear away. The restaurant never felt rowdy or noisy even though it was busy. No issues getting sunbeds round the pool at any time of day but we found that we needed to move frequently as many areas became shaded due to the low, late summer sun and nearby buildings/trees. The pool was cool but bearable for the first couple of days but like an ice bath towards the end of our stay! The nearby beach has lovely soft sand and is well sheltered. The entrance to the sea nearest the hotel is rocky, you need to move further round the bay for a sandy way in. The first few days we found the sea quite weedy but it was much clearer towards the end of our week. Not our favourite beach in Ayia Napa but not the hotel’s fault. You can easily walk to Nissi beach along the coastal path. It’s a beautiful route and takes 10-15 minutes. Nissi beach is stunning but very busy, even towards the end of the season. The hotel is a 20 minute walk to the edge of town and there are plenty of bars and restaurants on the way. The Hansel and Gretal dessert bar was amazing and reasonably priced. Getting around is easy with regular buses although we often used Bolt as a cheaper option to a taxi. Reception staff are lovely and really helpful. We requested a late check out and they were very accommodating. WiFi is decent and reaches the beach! Our teenage son was delighted. Lovely walk onto the rocks to watch the sunset each evening and to meet some of the many local cats. Negatives The hotel is the least environmentally conscious hotel we have stayed at for some years. Tiny single use plastic cups for drinks round the pool, plastic straws and staff refused to refill previously used cups. In the evening they supplied washable plastic cups so I am not sure why these are not an option during the day too. All towels are changed daily too, even when they are not left on the floor to be changed. Some of the pool bar staff are very abrupt when policing the all inclusive, others are just indifferent. Cocktails are made fresh to order and taste great but all drinks are very weak, even the paid for ones. The entertainment is very hit and miss with daytime activities changing or not happening. The evening was also often late and poor although we only stayed in the hotel for 2 of the evenings. Overall we had a great time and loved most things about the hotel but wouldn’t return due to the beach and the environmental concerns.
