Hi Amanda and welcome to Trip Advisor. I can%26#39;t help you much I%26#39;m afraid as I%26#39;ve never stayed there, other than to say it%26#39;s the very last, or first, hotel in Paphos and a little bit too far away for me. I don%26#39;t think there are many bars or restaurants near the hotel. Having said that, there are buses that run every 10 mins or so in the summer season. I think people either love it, and go year after year, or hate it and it probably makes for a good holiday if you have kids and are looking to keep them entertained, but not so good for couples looking for a relaxing time.
Hope someone else comes along with first hand info for you and I wish you a happy silver wedding anniversary.

Hi, Amanda, I%26#39;ve stayed at the Pheathon in 2004 and it was brill. We stayed all Inclusive (actually booked HB and upgraded on arrival with reception). Staff really helpful, though mostly russian. You%26#39;re about a mile from bars and restaurants along a flat road. You are the last hotel out of Paphos, but right on the beach. If you want lively you can join in, but my wife and I just lazed on the beach all day. Food was ok and pleanty of it. Cocktails were included so my wife had a great time tasting the cocktail of the day every day. Buses stop just outside the hotel and run into Paphos harbour.
Go to the winery and take a tour around, see the mosaics in the harbour area, or just soak up the sun you%26#39;ll have a great time.

hi, i%26#39;m off to phaethon beach on 21st july for the fifth year running. we love the place whether it%26#39;s just the two of us or if my two teenage sons go aswell (this year just us two much to the boys dismay). yes the place is looking a little bit tired but when the hotel has as many guests as they do its not surprising but they are always refurbing and maintaining, the staff are brilliant very pleasant and helpfull, the food is to die for, yes it may just %26#39;fast food%26#39; in the pool bar but there is also salad and fruit and of course you could go into the restaurant and i%26#39;m sorry but if you can%26#39;t find anything you like in the vast choice of food then you can%26#39;t blame the hotel for that ( the quality of the food is brilliant). the rooms may not be the biggest but all we want to do is sleep and get changed in there. animation team are second to none (there%26#39;s one or two new faces this year but if they are anything like previous staff there%26#39;s no worries) you must bear in mind these people work from first thing in the morning till gone midnight keeping us entertained be it with the games during the day or with their shows in the evening and when they are not in sight they are rehearsing etc, they really are a great bunch of fun loving people. this hotel is one of the super family hotels so yes you can expect children and child style entertainment there, in our experience the kids do tend to be well behaved, we have our sunbeds away from the pool then you don%26#39;t get as much noise it if you just want to chill. at the end of the day its up to what you want out of your holiday that will decide whether you enjoy it or not but do not be put off by others complaining i often read the reviews and cannot believe how some people can come to some of the conclusions made i can only think they are professional moaners. the hotel is exactly like the brochure states the beach may be small and no good for anyone unsteady on their feet but a few hundred yards to the left is a better beach.we know many people who go there year after year ( some more than once) one lady in her fifties goes there on her own if her grandson isn%26#39;t available i think its been fifteen times now and i bet we see her in a couple of weeks. anyway we leave on 4th August if your there then we%26#39;ll see you soon , relax and enjoy yourselves go with an open mind and you will not be dissappointed.

What I can say having experienced a week at this hotel last September beware of the dirty nappies in the swimming pool and enjoy pizza and chips every lunchtime.
In my opinion this hotel is not a very clean hotel but I have to be careful what I put on this site or else my opinion will get blocked.
