Venus Beach Hotel

⭐ 1/5 – Very Disappointing Stay My experience at Venus Beach Hotel was extremely unpleasant. A staff member named Sofia spoke to me rudely at breakfast when I politely asked where the cutlery was. She told me I “cannot sit over that side” and then publicly commented that I needed to “dress properly,” even though I had a blouse over my bikini and was never told about any dress code. I would have happily abided by any dress code. It was humiliating and made me uncomfortable returning to breakfast for the rest of my stay. Reception staff were also rude and dismissive. We had to ask three times for our room to be cleaned after ordering room service, only to then be told we were supposed to call room service ourselves to collect dishes - information no one mentioned beforehand. Some restaurant staff were kind, but overall the poor attitude from others made us feel unwelcome. As the only people of colour in the hotel, the difference in how we were treated was noticeable and uncomfortable. Would not recommend based on this experience however they have great amenities. Great area to stay but avoid Venus!

Reception staff were excellent. Hotel rooms are great in close proximity to the beach and the coastal path walk into Paphos harbour.

Rene og store rom, god beliggenhet nærme stranden. God frokost!

Poor facilities for a so called 5 star. Gym & sauna closed all season. Check out supposed to 11am but ckeaning staff were in room at 10am whilst we were at breakfast & threw all our toiletries away. Not a freat stay & woukdnt recommend

Location by the beach is best! Great view!

1-Star Experience at a Falsely Advertised 5-Star Resort ​This hotel is a severely outdated, run-down relic, falling short of three-star standards. It is the opposite of luxury. ​Hygiene & Maintenance is Dire: The room had unacceptable hygiene issues; I woke up with numerous bites all over my body, and the bathroom grout was covered in mold. The shower was broken, and staff refused to fix it, claiming the hotel was full. Common areas were stained, and the cheap plastic sun loungers had never-cleaned crash mats. ​All-Inclusive is a Scam: Avoid the all-inclusive package. It covers only an estimated 10% of the menu, forcing excessive fees, and drinks are significantly overpriced. Crucially, my partner suffered violent food poisoning on day two, requiring us to eat off-site for the rest of the trip. ​Hostile & Restrictive Management: Service was universally rude, driven by visibly low-morale staff. When trying to bring outside food (due to illness), the manager and security guard were aggressively confrontational, citing a ridiculous small-print rule forbidding outside food in the room. This hostile enforcement made the stay feel like a restrictive institution, not a hospitality experience. ​Final Verdict: This property lacks basic cleanliness, service, and value. With widespread fly issues, non-existent entertainment, and price gouging (€10 towels, €30 sunscreen), guests seeking a relaxing stay should absolutely look elsewhere. A truly awful experience.

Nicht einmal ansatzweise ein 5 Sterne Haus! An „jeder“ Ecke ein Sheriff, der dir vor allem erklärt, was nicht erlaubt ist! Der Strand war sehr schön und auch die Lage des Hotels. Aber der Rest…?? Beim Frühstück waren die Eierbrater wirklich gut. Ansonsten ziemlich lieblos und mindere Qualität. Wir waren direkt danach in Protaras in einem 4 Sterne Hotel, mit dem dieses Hotel nicht einmal ansatzweise mithalten konnte. Schade!

Beautiful resort and pool area. Enjoyed our stay.

Largely would have been a lovely holiday for youngsters or couples But solo I found evening entertainment not a pleasant place to sit Main let down despite room being clean and tidy it was right above the entertainment and with a broken patio door ( held on by screw) was very noisy till 3-4 am some nights So lovely view , pool , staff friendly just 448 was a terribly noisy room if not a night time person

Great location, but not a 5-star experience Definitely not a 5-star property — it feels a little tired and could use some TLC. The pool experience was rather unusual: the attendant kept a stack of neatly rolled “display only” towels, while guests were directed to take unfolded ones from a laundry basket nearby. I’ve never seen that before, not even at my gym. He was also quite rude to guests, often speaking to them in a condescending way that made people feel uncomfortable. I even witnessed him explaining to one guest that the folded towels were “display only, like at a watch shop,” before adding, “next time bring your wife — she understands more English.” I was stunned. The front desk experience was also disappointing. The receptionist with brown hair came across as quite rude and unhelpful — even when I politely asked if she could dispose of a small dress tag, she told me to use the bin outside the hotel entrance, despite there being a bin directly next to her. It felt unnecessarily dismissive. On the positive side, the location is excellent — right by the beach and next to one of Paphos’s main attractions, the Tombs of the Kings. Milena, the hotel manager, was the most helpful staff member I encountered; she ensured I got my beach towel deposit back and was genuinely pleasant to deal with.

We had a sea facing room on the 5th floor with stunning views. It is our second visit & would definitely stay again.

The staff was very friendly, especially Tony, the bellman/concierge. We had a balcony room with wonderful views and beautiful sunsets. The breakfast was exceptional with plenty to choose from.

Was nice

Nice location and a decent hotel. A few things could be improved. The food is really not good and it is repetitive. My biggest complaint is the pool chairs. Not enough in the shade and they are all reserved but not occupied. If you don’t get up early and claim a chair, you are out of luck. Hotel really needs to change their policy to prevent this. Also the clunky process to get a pool towel and pay a 10 euro deposit is insulting and unnecessary

Nana was incredibly helpful and attentive to all my needs, super friendly!

Awesome location, not in the busy,loud part of town. Convenient grocery store across the road! Staff are friendly and helpful!!!

Die tägliche Zimmerreinigung war leider nicht gut, besonders der Boden war immer dreckig. Ansonsten war alles sehr gut!

Should facilitate customer access to the beach..

Really liked our room and location. However, we were on half board and after 2 evening meals we ate out. Too much like a cafeteria definitely not a 4 or 5 star experience. Lack of choice and options for dining badly explained by reception staff.
