St George Hotel, Paphos

My girlfriend and I have just booked a late deal to Cyprus staying at the St George Hotel on half board.

Just wondered if anyones been to this hotel and also if there is much nightlife in the local streets or if not how much a taxi/bus is to main bars etc in Paphos.

If anyone has got any other tips on things to do, places to eat and drink etc for two 21 year olds I%26#39;ll be grateful as its our first time visiting Cyprus

cheers

There are a few bars near the St George but not a lot of night-life. The bus iEntertainment is laid on in the hotel and is a fair standard but not top-notch. A very nice hotel, pushing opulent. 4%26quot; thick mattresses on the sun loungers down on the beach. Good bar service and that%26#39;s all I can say about the place. I didn%26#39;t stay there but visited one evening from the Akteon, just up the road. Enjoy.

I don%26#39;t know what happened to the text, but a bus is 80 cents and a taxi about £5.

Thanks for that- I%26#39;ll look forward to it! cheers

Hi TractorBoy.

You haven%26#39;t had many replies, and I wasn%26#39;t going to stick my oar in, as it%26#39;s about 8 years since we stayed at the St George, and I thought you%26#39;d get some more up to date reports. We stayed there when we got married, and couldn%26#39;t fault it.

Having said that - I don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s changed much in the last few years, and if it hasn%26#39;t, it%26#39;s a lovely hotel, and you%26#39;ll have a lovely time. It%26#39;s a bit of a way out of Paphos, but, as someone else has said, there are enough bars in the vicinity, and the bus service was very good from what I remember.

Have a great time - I%26#39;m sure you enjoy Cyprus and want to go back.

Hi tractor boy i have just booked a late deal arriving 26th june as well, never been to cyprus before but the deal was to good to be true. I have since met a friend whose daughter got married at the st george last year and they said the hotel and food was excellent and the only problem they had was the lack of nightlife around the hotel.given i have paid £600 less than them i may be able to afford a taxi to paphos each night , i cannot understand why the discounts are so high for a hotel of this standard?? ANY IDEAS

Don%26#39;t be suspicious of good discounts to this hotel - it most certainly doesn%26#39;t mean it%26#39;s a cheap hotel!

I%26#39;ve been going to Paphos for 20 years, and whilst I loved the St George (we%26#39;ve stayed there about 5 times), the location is not as handy for the shops/harbour as the hotel where I now go. That%26#39;s probably the reason for the good deal. Having said that, the location is lovely - and it%26#39;s just as easy to get up to Coral Bay on the bus (which is where you%26#39;ll get the lovely beach, and more shops and restaurants - it%26#39;s a little resort, all on it%26#39;s own!).

You won%26#39;t be disappointed.

Never actually stayed in the St George but did visit it about 4/5 years ago when by brother -in-law got married, I thought it was excellent in every department from rooms to pool/beach area to the wedding meal provided.

However, on a visit to Paphos in January I met with an ex work colleague who had booked to stay at the St George, I told him of my experience of the hotel, limited as it was, however when we met again at the airport he said that he had been a little disappointed and described the hotel as being %26quot;a little tierd%26quot; and in need of an upgrade. He also said that the food had left a little to be desired and that the entertainment was very limited although conceded that it may have been because it was the %26quot;off season%26quot;

The distance to town also disappointed him as at that time of year the buses stop running around 5/6 pm, they do however run to around 11pm during high season.

In terms of things to do a trip on the Wavedancer from Paphos harbour has been highly recommened to me twice over the past couple of weeks.

I went on the WaveDancer last year - it is indeed a nice boat trip. There are sunbeds and tables all over the top part of the boat, so you can sunbathe as you sail! The only thing was - they got snatched up very quickly, so you need to get on the boat as soon as you can.
