Damon Hotel Apartments

Just returned from our 4th visit to the Damon. Ideally situated on Tomb of the Kings Road. Plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby and a great walk down to the harbour which takes around 20 mins. The hotel for us is usually just a base as we love to go around the beautiful island but when we are there the staff seem very friendly. Special shout out to Antreas who helped teach us some extra Cypriot words. Entertainment staff were very bubbly and enthusiastic. Evening entertainment is ok and goes down well with the returning guests but we love to go out and about so only usually stayed for a few drinks after our meal.nevertheless the staff always smiled and made an effort to talk with us. Food on the whole isn't too bad. I did struggle one some days with the menu as I am a very fussy eater but in all fairness you only have to let them know and they will make you something else. Looking forward to our 5th visit next year.

I've been coming to the Damon for the past 8 years. I also visited in 1994. We've only done all inclusive for the past few years and tended to go self catering. It's definitely worth paying a little extra to be all inclusive. I'm coeliac and can find eating out very difficult. It's been no problem at the Damon. The restaurant manager is fantastic and always checks that I know what I can eat and will arrange for something different for me if there is nothing I fancy. Everything is well labelled for common allergens. The choice of food is very good for a lower budget all inclusive hotel. Breakfast includes toast, fruits, yoghurts, pastries and hot food. There's plenty of hot drinks and juices too. Lunch has a good selection too. I especially like the salads with some chips. The evening meals are themed e.g oriental, Sunday dinner, traditional Greek. There's plenty to choose from including soups, salads, main meals and desserts. There's a small mini-market attached with friendly staff selling everything you could need: milk, bread, meats, cheese, drinks, water, souvenirs, cigarettes, newspapers, magazines, beach wear, towels, inflatables, crisps etc... The staff really make this place what it is. The reception staff are very welcoming and make sure everything is as it should be. The bar staff are great and are always busy. The all inclusive package covers most drinks so there's no need to spend more. The restaurant staff take drink orders and clear tables quickly. The entertainment guys, Pino and Lewis work very hard. Most days there's bingo and a quiz. We've also seen a fire show, glass walker, dancers, singers and magician. There's karaoke, disco, water volleyball, darts and other games, if that's your thing. You can join in as much or as little as you wish. If you're not bothered about the entertainment it can be a bit noisy, but everything finishes by 11:30pm so it's not too bad. The rooms are basic, but very clean, which is all I'm bothered about, personally. The cleaners come around each day and empty bins. Beds are changed every few days and sometimes they do a thorough clean. We visited outside the school holidays but in the past we've visited when lots of children are here. They put on activities for the children and slightly adapt the menus too, during school holidays. There are two pools and a small paddling pool. There's a bar near the pool which sells snacks, which is great if you're not all inclusive. The hotel is well placed in Paphos. There's a lovely coastal walk down to the harbour and back. We enjoy walking up into the old town too to visit the market. If you don't want to walk far there are regular buses everywhere for €1.50 per journey. The Tombs of the Kings are just up the road and certainly worth a look. At the harbour there are wonderful mosaics to see and many boat tours. We mainly eat at the Damon but like to go to Fat Mama's for a huge steak too. Go before 7pm, before it gets busy and get two for one cocktails. We also like to hire a car and go up the Troodos, visit Coral Bay and Latchi. So to sum up, the Damon is a friendly hotel that's a great base in Paphos for seeing all the sights.
