Hylatio Tourist Village

Superior room overlooking swimming pool was very spacious with comfortable beds. We spoke to a lot of guests who have been going to the hylatio for many years although I’m not sure what the attraction is. Whilst we were there we had many Romanian students doing drama or something, they were loud and quite ill mannered and disturbed the majority of the age 60+ guests. I stayed at the hylatio many times in the early 2000s but much has changed since then, expanding the premises but I prefer the old intimate self catering hylatio to what it is now. We saw the same owner but he was less friendlier this time as I remembered back then. However, the staff from Nepal are very friendly and hard working. We were AI but found the drinks very inferior to other local spirits we have at other hotels in Cyprus (we are ex pats living in Paphos) but the local wine was good Breakfast offered continental cheese, ham, cereals, porridge and hot English breakfast items. The quality of the sausages were poor and the baked beans tasteless but the bacon and egg were good. I agree with another reviewer that a second coffee machine is needed as you could stand in a queue for quite a while. For lunch/dinner although the food was plentiful there was little choice ie on two nights we had spicy chilli chicken and hot chicken curry. There was an alternative but if you cant eat spicy foods you are very limited on choice ie chicken nuggets/fish fingers of low quality. There is offered only one type of salad to choose from. For dessert only one choice of cake but you are able to help yourself to ice cream. It was adequate for our short 3 day stay but would not consider staying for longer due to the poor quality drinks and food on offer and very little to do other than lie on a sun bed that most were damaged or stained or swim in the large pool

NO TENNIS COURT!! It is derelict!! Pool and gardens nice, room itself was VERY basic, not even a TV!! Outside light not working, other minor ‘niggling’ issues! Staff very friendly and helpful. Food okay, but no change or variety during a fourteen night stay. Tinned fruit only at breakfast and very ‘cheap’ and tasteless bread!!

I went to Hylatio with a few friends in March, right before exam season kicked off, and honestly, it was exactly what we needed. The vibe was super calm and peaceful — no crowds, no stress, just proper chill time. We stayed for a few days and used the time to completely unwind, reset, and spend proper quality time together. The surroundings were beautiful, with a really laid-back atmosphere. Even just sitting around the pool or walking around the gardens felt therapeutic. We weren’t looking for anything wild or over the top — just a place to breathe before getting buried in uni work — and Hylatio delivered. The staff were friendly, everything was clean and easy-going, and we all left feeling like we’d actually had a break. Definitely one of those hidden gems you don’t realise you need until you’re there. Would 100% go back again, especially in March when it’s quiet and you get the place almost to yourself!
