Azia Resort And Spa

We stayed at the Azia at the tail end of October - before the half term holiday. The Hotel was only a third full and we were upgraded on our arrival to a garden suite. I think this is always a good sign of a qualityhotel - that automatically upgrades guests when they are under occupied. Our garden villa was gorgeous - very comfortable and as you step outside to your own private patio and then a couple of minutes walk to the wonderful gardens of the hotel and all of the other amenities. The hotel has 3 swimming pools - 1 indoor and 1 adults only (probably needed when the hotel is full) and 1 very large pool complex with bar and sun beds etc. Everything in this resort caters to the relaxation and comfort of the guest. The restaurants are many and varied and the main buffet restaurant is also very well run, with a vast menu offered for every meal and the food is fresh and of a very high quality with lots of different cuisines and variety on offer. All of the staff were extra helpful and friendly and could not do enough for you. They also all seemed happy as well, and to have a friendly banter with each other, which was nice to observe, as you go the impression that people liked to work there. There were so many places to sit or lie down - that you were literally spoilt for choice and the gym and other activities were many and varied as well. I also used the spa on 2 occasions - and this was a lovely experience as well. I had a fantastic body massage and a lovely manicure and pedicure. The staff here were also lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

All areas of the hotel are kept very clean with extensive grounds. Our sea view room was spacious and comfortable. The a la carte dining options we found somewhat disappointing. All restaurants used the same venue meaning that only one option could ever be used on any one night. We did not expect all the restaurants to be open every evening but did not expect the choice to be quite so limited. When we did manage to secure a booking in these restaurants the food was excellent! The same could not be said of the main buffet!. The restaurant itself, with its tables and chairs in uniform straight lines resembled an up market canteen.. Plastic topped tables with paper serviettes are not my idea of five star hotel dining. The choices here were good - especially the fruits and salads. Sadly, the same could not be said for the hot food. This was not because of the quality of the food but simply because it was not hot. At best it was warm and at worst it was cold. Despite the small number of people in the hotel food was being cooked in large amounts and consequently left standing to go cold. As I rarely drink anything but wine I was very disappointed with the all inclusive wine option - house red, white or rose, or sparkling. The sparkling was lovely if you were lucky enough to be served from a bottle that had not long been opened but the the other house wines were pretty poor. In a hotel where the spirits are of premium quality I had hoped for better quality wine.

Stayed with my husband for 10 days on all inclusive board. Have been looking for a good hotel, somewhere warm to go in September/October, with a flight time of no more that 4/5 hours and think we have found it! Pleasantly surprised that most days the temperature was around 25 degrees. We were able to stay round the pool until just before 6pm every night watching the stunning sunsets. Super location with a beach a 5 minute walk away (where the sea was delightfully warm) or several pools to choose from. Very spacious grounds beautifully maintained. We were there slightly out of season and finding a sunbed in the sun or shade was never a problem. Very pleasant room with Mountain View, clean with a very comfortable firm bed. Main self service restaurant had good variety of hot and cold food every day and we liked the fact that the hotel have their own plantation so lots of things are fresh and locally sourced. Tried a couple of the specialist restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed Oku the Asian one. All staff were very attentive and helpful. Local bus service from outside the hotel runs frequently every day to Paphos (approximately 15 minutes away) or Coral Bay in the opposite direction. Went on an organised trip to Famagusta and Salamis on the Turkish side of the island which was fascinating. Really enjoyed our trip and plan to return.
