St George Beach Hotel & Spa Resort

Spent a week at St St. George Beach Hotel & Spa Resort end of April. Have already booked again for next year. In our 60th years and in our opinion the best hotel we have holidayed in. Many positives: April seemed to have been a good month to visit. Temperatures were more than adequate at mid 20s and hotel not yet at 100% capacity so didn’t feel busy. Our experience was that all staff were friendly and work tirelessly. Too many to mention by name. Good selection of bars and restaurants which will get better from 1st May when Italian and Greek al la cartes open. We ate at Route 66 and Asian restaurants and were impressed with quality and quantity of food. Buffet restaurant was as would expect from a buffet. Lots of varied choices which changed each day. Separate cocktail and wine bars. Excellent selection of cocktails at all bars all included in AI. Recommendations. Catch the sunsets at the beach bar. Chat to Ioanna at the wine bar and get her to take you through her selection of wines. She was very helpful. Sun bed allocation system is a great idea. No worries about rising at silly o clock. We got a bed near pool side after 24 hours on waiting list. Entertainment is what you make of it.

We had a late arrival due to delayed flight. On arrival we were met with a glass of bubbly and the porter who took our cases to the room. The check-in was speedy and informative particularly where to get something to eat before the buffet closed. The room was bright and sufficient for our need, we were on the 2nd floor with a landward view with a partial sea view. The hotel has four floors and also minus three floors for pools other rooms and restaurants. The buffet restaurants were adequately presented with a wide range of hot and cold food, I would have preferred more cold meat at lunchtime to have a salad. However all was satisfactory. There are four a-la-carte restaurants which is serviced rather than buffet, the menus are comprehensive with something for all tastes. The portions are large and it is a three course menu in each restaurant. The Italian and Greek restaurants are alfresco. The negative point I have as a diabetic is that there a distinct lack of sugar free soft drinks, only Pepsi max was widely available, the was one machine had 7up zero however this machine was closed at 5pm. Bottled water was supplied and there were many areas to refill the bottles. A fridge in the room and a digital safe are included. The Sun-beds being allocated is a godsend this saves the stupidity of the morning donkey derby. Other hotels should take notice of this excellent practice. If you don’t like or want to change your allocation the staff are very obliging, pool towels are supplied and can be changed every two days. The main pool is warm and has a swim up bar which can get busy. The daytime activities are plentiful and there is evening entertainment outside and also in the cocktail bar. The wine bar is a plus with a nice selection of wines. The hotel staff are very pleasant and willing to assist with issues, and answers to guest questions. We booked our room for late checkout (6pm) this booking was made at time of booking the holiday, we were not expected to change room, although a change of room might occur if request is made during time at the hotel. The hotel is a short walk from the bus stop (bus 615) into Paphos and Coral Bay. We found the day bus ticket an advantage (€6.50pp). Overall an enjoyable holiday at this hotel and the best recommendation we can give is we would be returning guests.

Wonderful Hotel. Drinks are great, lovely cocktails but wasn’t so keen on the beer. Food was excellent both in the a-la-cartes and buffet restaurants. The staff work extremely hard and were all very polite and professional. The guys at the beach bar were fantastic with a great sense of humour. The wine bar and staff who worked there were brilliant. The lady (sorry can’t remember her name) who worked at the wine bar was lovely and would always remember what we liked to drink. Sunbed allocation was a revelation and one of the reasons I booked the hotel in the first place. Will definitely come back in the future.
