Annabelle

Beautiful hotel and a wonderful stay. We had the terrace sea-view room, the room was modern and had lovely views of the sea and a quiet pool area. The terrace area was a great size and it was nice to have your own private area. I only wish you could get pool bar service to the terrace! The Service was excellent, the staff are helpful and friendly throughout the hotel. Breakfast buffet is vast and lovely. All general areas and rooms are spotless. The large pool areas and bar are relaxing and in beautiful surroundings. Love this hotel, we are back again in September!

Well this hotel is stunning, from the moment me and my daughter arrived we were made to feel so welcome. The whole hotel looks great and has everything you need. |Room was great had everything you need daily towel change, super Wi-Fi tv, hairdryer, huge bed, air con is amazing. |The pool area was great you get towels each day and there was always space even at 2 in the afternoon. The main pool is very warm but the other ones are cooler. |Great location and close to bars, shops and restaurants. |Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and we will definitely be visiting again.

We have just returned from a wonderful 11 night stay at this hotel. ||The hotel was just great and the hotel is so clean and lovely. The staff are so friendly and really go above and beyond.||The breakfast was delicious and always a perfect way to start our day.||The pool areas are very clean and the sunbeds are very comfortable. Only downside was kids can’t jump in the pool which our 8 year was a little disappointed with. However the n front of the hotel is the sea and a safe enclosed lagoon he could splash around in. ||The hotel is in a great location and a few minutes walk to the harbour. We preferred to eat in the old town which was a short taxi away and less touristy but a few hidden gems off the main harbour too. ||The rooms are a good size and beds are SO COMFORTABLE!||We enjoyed this holiday so much we have already booked to come back next year!

We returned today from a fabulous weeks stay at the Annabelle. The staff were all hardworking and so cheerful. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts had such a good choice with all the omelettes, poached and scrambled eggs cooked freshly to order. Our room, a garden suite with whirlpool was wonderful. It was spotlessly clean with clean fluffy towels every day. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve had in a hotel room. |Thank you to all the staff that looked after us, you really are special people.

Amazing hotel with superb views, very clean and beautiful rooms; really nice staff. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a hotel; super nice restaurants with great food, great vibe, live music. Nice gym and great exterior and interior swimming pools. Totally recommend it!

I had an excellent and delightful stay at Annabel Hotel. The staff was professional and incredibly friendly. They even surprised me on my birthday with a cake and a greeting in my room, despite me not mentioning it to them. The hotel's pools are beautiful and enjoyable, and the room is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is rich and delicious. Moreover, the hotel's location is central and close to all the important attractions. I highly recommend Annabel Hotel for a wonderful and memorable stay.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We stayed here the last week in June. We went full board as my son has coeliac disease and we thought it would simplify eating if we let the hotel know.||The staff were excellent. The really spent time talking to us about our son how they could accomodate him. Really top marks for all staff in this regard.||We had a sea view suite which had an amazing view of the sea and town. The hotel itself is really close to the promenade which is so handy. Near cafes, bars and shops. We never found it too loud (bar one night but that was just some people around 3am being drunk).||The pools and the food were very good. Check out the greek taverna next door in their sister hotel for amazing local food.

The Annabelle was the first five-star resort that opened in Cyprus back in the 80’s and is considered the ‘grand dame’ of Paphos – a venerable Cyprus institution. The hotel had been on our shortlist for a while. After having stayed in the Blue Palace Elounda Crete and the Lindos Blu Rhodes just recently we decided to give the Annabelle a try. Here’s our review:||Location/Beach: Directly at the seafront and next to the bustling harbour, with many shops, cafes, and restaurants close by. Surely a convenient location but there can be noise from the town, especially on weekends. There is no ‘beach’ in front of the hotel but easy access to the water. Alternatively, Antasia Beach Club is just a short walk away and next to a nice, sandy beach (note there is a charge for sunbeds, a sun umbrella, and towels; reservations should be made in advance).||Service Team: The heart and soul of Annabelle, the staff in all areas of the hotel were friendly, helpful, and efficient. Whether it was the reception desk, restaurant and pool staff or the room service team, nothing was too much trouble.||Restaurants/Dine Around: The hotel offers a great choice of restaurants – Ouranos, the new rooftop restaurant, was our favorite, with brilliant food, wonderful views, and relaxed live music. Amorosa – fine dining right at the pool - came in as a close second, while the Italian Meditteraneo down at the promenade was more casual. We also enjoyed our dinner and sunset at Antasia Beach Club. The half board (dine around) offer gives you the chance to experience all restaurants on a rotating basis, plus the ones at the sister-hotel Almyra next door (Mosaics offered nice buffets; and Notios, with Japanese-Med fusion, was another interesting option). We loved the concept.||The breakfast buffet was extensive but nothing special; we would have liked to see some ‘daily specials’ served at the table. On most of the days things were very busy, with the usual rush for tables on the outside terrace – but staff handled it well. We never had to wait more than five minutes to be seated.||Pools/Sunbeds: Three nice pools in landscaped gardens (plus another stunning indoor pool on the fourth floor next to the spa), all with plenty of sunbeds and space. The hotel was fully booked but it didn’t feel crowded around the pools. There are also sunbeds right at the promenade; these were shared with non-residents from outside who had to pay a charge.||Rooms: By today’s standards, the rooms are a bit small for a five-star hotel (an average of 28-30qm), but they are well-furnished and nicely decorated. The views of the sea and towards the harbour are wonderful, especially from the top floor rooms. Internet and air condition worked very well. Bathrobes and towels were of high quality, and the Acqua di Parma toiletries are a lovely touch. Towels were usually changed twice per day - many hotels nowadays opt to change them on request, as this saves both water and energy. We were surprised that Annabelle had not implemented a similar policy.||Finally: The cats were lovely - well taken care of by hotel staff, properly injected etc and treated with respect. At times they seemed to ‘own’ the hotel. We loved them.||So… the Annabelle combines old world charm with Mediterranean elegance; it is a superbly managed, luxury hotel with elaborate dining options and attentive service. Especially the front desk staff was brilliant (special thanks to Marina and Christina). We truly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a great stay!
