Machairas Monastery

Breakfast was amazing and plentiful! every staff member was nice and helpful and friendly/chatty! the hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable and it was just an all round nice hotel. the free shuttles to town were a great touch too. the lunch by the pool was tasty and on the same price range as other kosher establishments in paphos town, but the dinner option (was a buffet) was not great! but i wont hold it against them as i was just being lazy to travel into town for dinner! views were great too and we really enjoyed the silence.

Great staff

The Ivi Mare is a lovely hotel. Wonderful views, gorgeous hotel, nice staff. However, if you are looking for a peaceful holiday, which we were, this is not the hotel for you. It is situated very close to numerous other hotels who are child friendly and announce their curriculum over tannoys morning and evening. Not the hotels fault but not how we wanted to spend time on our balcony. We loved the food choices at the Ivi Mare. All of the restaurants were fab and easy to book on the app. There was also plenty of choice within walking distance of the hotel. We weren’t expecting nightly entertainment which was provided free of charge. This should have been the highlight because the standard was really good. However, every night the music was so loud in the bar that we could hear it in our room three floors up, with the doors and windows closed and the air con on. The music is WAY TOO LOUD and is an easy fix. Turn it down. Not everyone wants to listen to it. We felt we had to go out to avoid this or put ear plugs in so that it helped block it out. I feel ungrateful to say that we probably wouldn’t return to this hotel beautiful though it is, the noise situation was an issue I have only ever encountered in the UK in hotels over the Christmas party season.
