Louis Sofianna Resort

We spent 10 nights here in September and we was fortunate enough to go again 3 weeks later! The hotel is great. AI has a lot of different foods on offer so I would find it hard for anyone not to like something. Having been to lots of AI holidays this has to be the best. Have to wear masks while in the restaurant now but it’s not difficult. Lots of hand sanitiser about too. The rooms are nice and tidy and kept clean everyday if needed. Enough wardrobe space and hangers. You have a mini fridge also. The swimming pools are great with bars at both of them. And Nancy the lifeguard is very friendly with everyone. She is just so nice and works very hard keeping the pool areas tidy. We enjoyed the main pool even though we had a swim up room first time around. Daytime activities take place in the main pool where Joe, Chloe, Daniel and Aishling will get you jumping about in the water to Zumba aerobics. Very good, so just get out of your comfort zone and try it! And then there are music and general knowledge quizzes most afternoons. All for fun. Evening entertainment is the usual mini disco for the kids, and I think Chloe and Aishling enjoy it more than the kids! Then it’s ‘bingo, bongo, bango’ as joe calls it. Money prizes for that. After that the team either put on a show which they are very good, or they split the guests in to a team and b team and then it’s all out who is going to win. Had a laugh with this one. The entertainment team are super friendly And a great asset to the hotel. The bar staff, Daniela, dimitrius, Eva, George and I’m sorry I can’t remember all their names but they all work so hard. Right, now to the operations manager Andreas. My husband got taken to hospital on our second visit and had to stay in for 2 nights. Andreas actually came to the hospital to see how he was and to take me back to the hotel when he was admitted. Now, I don’t think I’ve been treated like that anywhere I’ve been. He also took me back the next morning and was genuinely concerned about my hubby. As was Greta, the guest relations manager. These 2 people do a fantastic job of making sure the hotel runs smoothly. All of the staff are really friendly and will help in anything you may need. Back to Nancy the lifeguard. She also knew that my hubby was in hospital, and said ‘I’ll take you to the hospital and then come back and pick you up’. I did say not to worry as I can get a taxi but she was adamant that she was to take me. When she returned to pick me up I then got a tour of old Paphos, where she showed me some of the sights that I probably wouldn’t see as a non-local. What an amazing thing to do? We are friends for life certainly. These lovely people of Paphos and the sofianna have made me want to keep returning which we shall do again in the near future. Thank you so much to all the staff that made our holiday a pleasant one. We shall definitely be back. ❤️Xxxx

Just finished 2 weeks at the sofianna Hotel and Spa. My husband and I had a great 2 weeks here. We were checked in very quickly and were taken to our room. We have booked a swim up room and it was well worth the money. The room was spacious and immaculate. We had champagne there as well as a welcome treat which was good. Rooms cleaned daily by pleasant staff and all the doors are very well sound proofed so couldnt hear any noise from activities/ pool. Bar staff did well during busy time and had a good selection of drinks. Obviously, covid has caused some things to change at the hotel, e.g, the snack bar was closed, the spa only had a few options available and the entertainment was limited but it was to be expected in the current circumstances. Both my husband and I got treatments in the spa and my word, they were fantastic. I highly recommend a visit if you stay here. My only criticism is the food. Each night, they had different themes which was enjoyable and had a decent selection. Lunch had different choices but the second week we noticed it was the repeat of the week before. It just wasn't to my or my husband taste but the others in our group enjoyed it so I wouldnt think much of it. I think i should mention just how fantastic hotel staff were especially during these unprecedented times. There was never anything that was too much trouble and they were so friendly. Honestly they all deserve some appreciation as I couldn't fault them. I would happily stay here again.
