Best All-Inclusive Hotels in Cyprus

The King Jason Paphos is a quiet boutique hotel with a dedicated fanbase. The 127 rooms are contemporary and chic, with neutral toned marble, and all have kitchenettes with hobs and fridges, making self-catering a possibility. However, most guests opt for the all-inclusive package (and rightly so), which includes high quality and varied buffet spreads for all three meals, plus an afternoon snack and tea service. Amenities include a small fitness center, a massage treatment room, and four pools, including a hydrotherapy pool and a kids' pool, but there's not much else for families.

Opened in summer 2015, Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos is a large all-inclusive resort that attracts a primarily (but not exclusively) British clientele. The 276 rooms feature marble bathrooms and furnished balconies, and an adult-only room wing has its own dedicated pool. There are tons of amenities for families and couples alike, including a couple of kids' clubs for different age groups, five gorgeous lagoon pools (one with a Mayan temple feature and a waterslide), and dining options that run the gamut from Italian to Asian to Cypriote. The hotel is located right on the beach in Paphos, not far from the city's well-known archaeological attractions.

Just south of the heart of Paphos, Louis Imperial Beach is an upper-middle-range beach hotel popular with package tourists from the UK, including families and couples. The 239 rooms were all remodeled in 2012 and feature furnished balconies, many with views out over the massive pool and to the seashore beyond. There's plenty going on here, including buffet and a la carte restaurants, daytime and evening entertainment, a spa, a fitness center, and indoor and outdoor pools, including one that's strictly for adults. There's also a splash park, a kids' wading pool, and a kids' club. Note that during the busy summer months, all guests are required to book the all-inclusive option.

Louis Ledra Beach is a simple mid-range family resort with large palm-dotted lawns leading out to the main Paphos promenade. The 269 rooms here are simple and kept in good repair, and all have furnished balconies. Hotel amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, a fitness center, tennis, and beach volleyball. Family Rooms have two sofa beds for children and there's lots for kids to do including a kids' club, a playground, and a splash pool for little ones. Meals are served buffet style at the main restaurant or poolside, and the main restaurant has a kids' buffet, a vegetarian corner, and themed nights. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby but costs extra in rooms.

The 110-room Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel is a relaxed adult-only property, with plenty of activities, but no super-energized staff staging pool games and karaoke nights. Rather, this is a resort for grown-ups, evidenced by the dress code required for dinner and the pool bar tables sporting linen tablecloths. The ambience is relaxed yet upscale -- with welcome drinks offered upon arrival, fresh fruit-infused water available in the lobby, and cold towels distributed on the sundeck in the afternoons. Sophisticated amenities include two large outdoor pools, a full-service spa, and three restaurants. Bright suites feature comfy beds, private balconies, and marble bathrooms, but the wood furnishings are dated. Although there is some evening entertainment, this is not a party hotel -- it has a genuine romantic vibe with enough good food and on-site services and activities to please guests who want to relax and stay put.

The 100-room Alion Beach Hotel is one of the more peaceful properties in the Ayia Napa area, with a focus on relaxation over partying. Features include an outdoor pool with lovely shaded seating areas and a snack bar, two restaurants (including a Mediterranean spot with flambe specialties), tennis courts, and access to a white, sandy beach. The inviting and bright rooms have wood floors, minibars, coffee/tea-making facilities, and private balconies. Some rooms have gorgeous sea views. The hotel is within a five-minute drive from the nightlife and restaurants of Ayia Napa.

The four-pearl SENTIDO Thalassa Coral Bay is a quiet beachfront hotel just north of Paphos. All of the 100 rooms have views out over the sea and feature soft decor and furnished balconies. While the hotel does offer a meeting room, amenities are largely geared toward leisure travelers and include a lovely spa with free steam and sauna facilities, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, and direct access to a sandy beach with lounge chairs and a beach bar. There are also two on-site restaurants, one with show cooking and themed nights, the other with a la carte fine dining.

SENTIDO Cypria Bay is an upper-middle-range resort that attracts families, primarily from the U.K. and Germany, on package vacations. There are 293 rooms in total, many with sea views, and all are designed with families in mind, with extra beds or at least enough room for rollaways. Facilities include a huge outdoor lagoon pool with a swim-up bar and an adjacent kids' pool, a game room with pool, air hockey, arcade games, tennis courts, a fitness center with free classes, an indoor pool with a huge hot tub, and a buffet restaurant with evening entertainment six nights a week.

The 429-room upper-middle-range Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel is a family-friendly resort on a private sandy beach. The hotel buzzes during the day with activities for all ages, including indoor and outdoor bowling and ballroom dancing, but it quiets down by nightfall. There are three large lagoon-style pools, a waterslide, tennis courts, miniature golf, and a kids' club. The property has five restaurants and a variety of bars, plus all-inclusive packages available. Rooms are dated but well-equipped and have private balconies, but views can vary from parking lot to ocean panorama.

This all-inclusive beach resort shines for its grounds and long list of on-site options for activities and relaxation. The hotel is very family-friendly thanks to entertainment, facilities (including a water park and kids' club), and menus designed for children. Guests without kids may be put off by their energy level, but there are quieter areas to relax, like the spa and a second pool. All-inclusive dining at the buffet restaurant is solid, plus there’s an Asian restaurant open in peak season. The 422 rooms are small and simple with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and kettles, plus an option for two sofa beds to accommodate kids.

The 95-room luxury Columbia Beach Resort Pissouri is an all-suite hotel overlooking a private bay beach. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, the property is between Limasol and Pafos, and a 10-minute drive from the village of Pissouri. The grounds feature landscaped gardens and stone pathways, as well as gorgeous outlooks of the clear blue water. Among the family-friendly amenities are a huge lagoon-style pool, tennis courts, water sports, and several outdoor drinking and dining options -- with all-inclusive packages available. The day spa offers luxe massage and body treatments, and a seasonal kids' club keeps children occupied. Contemporary guest rooms are large and outfitted with espresso machines, private balconies, and a peaceful Mediterranean vibe.
