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.
The new look leans heavily on dazzling whites and a soft sky blue—just a shade lighter than the Aegean blue that has become a trademark in Greek hotels—and the interiors are all clean lines and chic minimal furniture, at times more reminiscent of high-end retail design than the traditional island resort. This is certainly a good thing; dark wood headboards and platform beds quickly prove just as suited to the Mediterranean surroundings as floral bed covers and stucco walls ever were.
Beyond mere eye candy, though, the accommodations are more than functional, with such modern must-haves as wi-fi access and satellite television. Each room has, at the very least, a floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the garden, and the better ones come with terraces or balconies overlooking the sea.
The old Paphos Beach hotel pool has been reinvented, in chic black slate, and it’s here and on the hotel’s rooftop terraces that guests mingle and absorb the summer sun. At night, the poolside bar turns into a rather more serious restaurant, its chef a Nobu alumnus who brings a Japanese influence as well as a certain air of celebrity to the proceedings. It’s all rather more than one could have expected from Cyprus just a few short years ago, and it’s probably best experienced now, before the rest of the world catches on.

What I liked:
The staff were really friendly and went out their way to make us feel relaxed and comfortable even when we arrived late they were willing to serve us dinner. The hotel is well situated and has a relaxed atmosphere.
What the hotel could do better:
The soundproofing of the rooms leaves much to be desired. We had children running up and down the corridors at 6:45 in the morning. Maybe they should have a child age limit as these parents don't have any idea how irritating it can be when their children run amok.
People walking past the room could also be heard and woke us up on countless occasions.
The rooms should have a carpet or carpets, the bare marble floors make it a little sparse and uncomfortable for what you paying.

What I liked:
Nice place, the location is very good on the waterfront, but sadly there isn't really much else worth doing in Paphos itself.... but if you're here just to relax in the spa and take it easy, then that's fine...
The spa facilities and spa staff were fantastic and by far the best value offering at the hotel. Couples massages from c.200 euro for a full hour is hard to beat at a luxury spa resort anywhere.
The staff really were excellent. Extremely helpful, friendly and efficient.
What the hotel could do better:
Almyra is a good hotel with good facilities... but it's not a great hotel with great facilities. Somehow it just falls short of the luxury level that it aspires to and somehow left me feeling that the c.300 euro per night is not really justified... for that sort of money, the rooms should be great and not just good/adequate.
Pay-tv system is ancient, as is the tv itself... which is quite sensibly hidden in a cabinet.
