"Though close to Paphos’s bustle, Almyra felt hard to leave thanks to its family comforts: five freshwater pools (including a kids’ pool shaded by an olive tree and an adults-only option), tennis and swimming lessons, and a multi-spaced kids’ club split into age groups from four months to teens with impressive art projects and local-exploration activities. Practical services such as the Baby Go Lightly program (pre-ordering car seats to swim diapers) let parents slip off to the adults-only spa for meditation and massage, while shared family experiences—olive-oil pressing or trekking to mythic spots—are available; the culinary highlight for me was the varied dining from Japanese-Mediterranean fusion at Notios to fresh fish at beachside Ouzeri.

"Spread across eight acres of gardens on the coast of Paphos, Almyra Hotel is a contemporary boutique resort. Tailor-made for couples, it also welcomes families with open arms. However, parents may want to book a babysitter to fully bliss out with marine-based rituals at the spa." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Set in tropical gardens overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Almyra Hotel is just a 5-minute walk away from Paphos Harbour. It offers rooms with free Wi-Fi, 4 freshwater pools and a spa. Almyra’s air-conditioned rooms are spacious and come with balconies, patios or floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden or the Mediterranean Sea. The rooms have satellite TV, a minibar and safe. The hotel's spa offers holistic treatments and massage, together with a sauna and gym. The Almyra serves a full Continental buffet breakfast each morning. The hotel has 4 restaurants offering international cuisine and local Cypriot dishes. Almyra is located 16 km from Paphos International Airport.." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"I challenge anyone not to have a great holiday at Almyra. OK, so it's bigger than most i-escape hotels, and the resort town of Paphos can be a bit tacky. But hey, you've got 4 pools to choose from (including adult-only options, a godsend during the popular school holidays), lawned grounds for sunbathing, a small patch of beach to swim or sail from, a superb spa to pummel you into glorious submission, and kids' clubs to look after the little ones. There's Asian-Med cuisine served alfresco at low cushioned benches, or Cypriot mezes at lamp-lit taverna tables on the seafront. Art exhibitions grace the open-plan lobby. Kick-back of an evening by the firepit alongside the lap pool. 5* service comes from 150 staff who seemed to be smiling permanently (and sincerely) during our stay. Bedrooms are sleek but understated, with a choice of couples' rooms and family suites in the main buildings, or more spacious Kyma Suites in a secluded wing. Stroll to the old harbour for cruises and amazing Roman mosaics, jog or cycle along a pedestrianised promenade to the Tomb of the Kings, or hire a car to explore turtle beaches, vineyards and cedar forests. Oh, and did we mention the sun shines here over 300 days per year? Highs There's a lovely vibe: staff really care, the chef chats to diners, waitresses remember preferences from one day to the next, and the gardener burns rosemary to keep insects away from your terrace We loved the Joëlle Pléot-designed bedrooms: clean white spaces with wooden accents, comfy beds and excellent showers We stayed in the Kyma Suites on our last visit, delightfully secluded, with semi-enclosed sea-view patios – you'd never guess you're in such a big hotel Our dinner at Notios was outstanding: tender sushi, fresh sea bream, crisp and exotic salads, delicate mango mousse... and Ouzeri's meze lunches were fun, too Paphos is home to Cyprus' biggest archaeological park and close to its best beaches; it has its own airport with excellent connections Lows The main building is big and blocky, with tall hotels on either side; rear-facing rooms can get noise from passing motorbikes at night (ask for a sea-facing if you're noise-sensitive) as you'd expect from being in an urban area The beach is very small and overlooked by passers-by (but the waters are calm – great for long swims) Paphos is a well developed resort town – karaoke bars and English pubs dot the old harbour – but you're 5 minutes' walk away on a relatively quiet patch of seafront The buffet meals in Mosaics Restaurant can be a bit hectic at busy times Twin beds are available on request but they may be two single mattresses on a double bedframe" - Michael Cullen
"Long gone is the old Paphos Beach hotel, and in its place the Almyra brings a healthy dose of high-design glamour and an unusual young family-friendly angle. Paphos, once the Mediterranean getaway of choice for the budget-conscious and style-impaired, has reinvented itself as a destination for the young and upwardly mobile, with the Almyra perhaps its most fashionable property." - Tablet Hotels
