Columbia Beach Resort

A mixed experience. The positives: - Some really exceptional staff especially at the Apollo Tavern and main breakfast buffet. A special shout out to the waiter with the South African accent (apologies for forgetting your name) he generally provided service that was 5 star and fitting for any high restaurant in the world. Truly great! Also great service from the head waiter at the breakfast buffet. - Beach access - Helpful housekeeping staff The negatives: - VERY poor service from the reception staff, when we arrived there were 3 women at reception who didn’t even look up to acknowledge us. We spent 5/10 minutes there and didn’t even give us a welcoming smile. Was a very poor and negative first impression of the hotel. Luckily our porter was great and made up for it! However pretty much every other time we visited the reception (except once) we were met with unhelpful staff who seemed pretty uninterested in helping/serving us. - Cleanliness although the room cleaners were great , the general grounds need a lot of maintenance to make the rustic feel not feel dirty - A zoo like smell near some of the rooms which again made it feel dirty. - room service food was VERY underwhelming Overall it was an average experience, and due to it being our second stay here we left feeling like we wouldn’t return. Especially for the money! We stayed in Abu Dhabi Hyatt earlier this year which was roughly the same price and the standards and level of service was out of this world. I think European hotels will very soon start struggling to justify their extortionate prices compared to the level of service. This hotel has potential, but unfortunately fails with the execution.

We stayed but for a drink, and it was great! Smoothie was rather a fancy juicer creation ... and the latte was foamy. Also the salty nuts selection was akin to 5 star service levels ... Tiny Luxury Break with gorgeous seaside views! Compliments to the kind staff,

Brilliant hotel and lovely staff who offer brilliant service. Pools are nice, bars are great, Apollo and Aspro both excellent (Bacchus over priced imo for the quality of food). One thing I want to add is that we used the beach bar 20th July for chicken burger and my son was ill for a few days and stuck in his room. It was the only food item he ate that was different to the rest of the party. The hotel responded very well and had a doctor call and prescribe medication as soon as we informed them on 22nd. I note someone else also reported illness on 19th at the beach bar on the reviews.

We came to this luxury 5 star hotel twice and both times the experience was fantastic. Breakfast area and food is wonderful, the hotel is traditional and beautiful. Staff is very kind. Pissouri bay between Paphos and Limassol is remote but peaceful location. I was only disappointed at the massage the second Time around as it wasn’t 55min like booked and it will likely not make me book at the spa again. Other than, great high end hotel

We live on the island and we come to that hotel every summer at least for 5-10 times. Sometimes we book a room, sometimes we just take the day passes and leave in the afternoon. Recently, the worst experience had occurred. After being on the beach side (waitresses almost nonexistent there btw, you should go and challenge yourself dins them yourself), we’ve managed to order our food. The result: I was food poisoned by the artichoke salad so badly that I couldn’t almost move for 2 days, had a fever, and vomited tens of times. That happened on 19.07.26. And yeah, I do know it’s hot and everything but that’s definitely not an excuse for a “5 star” hotel.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with fantastic amenities. The views overlooking the sea and the pool are absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is also very well maintained, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere throughout the property. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of choices with good quality food and attentive service. The biggest disappointment, however, was the pool service. For a five-star hotel, I would expect staff to regularly check on guests, ask if they need anything, or at least provide simple touches such as an ashtray when needed. Unfortunately, that level of attention was missing. Another letdown was the pool bar. The cocktails were below average in terms of quality, and the food served by the pool was significantly overpriced for what it offered. It’s unfortunate because the hotel itself is beautiful. If management invested a little more in improving the pool service especially considering that’s where most guests spend their time during the summer it would greatly enhance the overall experience.
