The 95-room Amphora Hotel & Suites is an upscale property that emphasizes minimalist style. Situated on a private beach, the resort is surrounded by expansive green lawns and gorgeous sea views. The guest rooms and common areas are spare but not plain, although some travelers might find them too coolly clinical. Facilities include an outdoor pool, a gym and sauna, and tennis court, but the beach is the primary draw here. The main restaurant serves local specialties, while a beachfront bar and cafe is open seasonally. There are a kids' pool and some playground equipment, but no organized activities for children. Travelers seeking a more active vacation -- especially those with kids in tow -- might want to consider the nearby Louis Phaethon Beach, which has a beach, water park, and a much larger pool area.

Aloe Hotel is a three-pearl resort hotel located just across from the beach and a short drive south of Paphos's main archaeological attractions. The 273 rooms here all have balconies and while they are on the plain side, refurbishments slated for 2019 should spruce them up. While the interiors aren't much to look at, this hotel does feature a lovely outdoor pool area with lap and lagoon pools, a bar, and a playground. There are also a couple of restaurants serving buffets for all three meals, but the food isn't very good. Note that all-inclusive packages are available (but not required). Travelers who don't mind being a bit further from the action of Paphos may want to compare rates and amenities at Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, which is a bit snazzier and sits right on the beach.
