Louis Paphos Breeze

Just back from a week’s stay at the Louis Breeze in Pathos, having previously stayed at two of the franchise’s hotels in the past. This is a family hotel, unlike the adult-only type we have visited. Unfortunately, we arrived close to midnight and, although there were sandwiches in our room, they appeared to be stale so were left untouched. We had a ground floor suite that was incredibly spacious, comfortable and had a walk-in shower. There was plenty of storage space and the bed was comfortable. Although the suite can sleep up to four, the “beds” on the sofas did not look very comfortable!! Tea and coffee facilities along with a fridge and a microwave. Water was provided each day and the tea, coffee etc. was similarly replenished. The room was cleaned every day to a high standard so no complaints there. There are two pools, including an adult-only one, along with a separate toddler’s pool. There are plenty of sun beds and these are taken early in the morning! There are two pool bars, although the one for the main pool is quite small and tucked away in a corner. We opted to stay at the adult only pool and staff there were excellent throughout the week. There is also a garden area overlooking the sea and there are plenty of sunbeds in this area. The food selection throughout the week was of a good quality, themed nights, and an excellent range of options. Again staff here were very professional, helpful, polite and interactive. Similarly, staff at the main bar were very eager to please. The evening entertainment had music, comedy, local dancing etc. and was brought in from outside. Unfortunately, they had to perform at the main poolside and their offerings warranted better than that. The hotel’s entertainment team seemed new and appeared to lack confidence and experience when interacting with guests. In fact they seemed to spend their time with guests they already knew!! Hotel management seemed to walk around inspecting everything and during our time there, failed to interact with guests. The hotel is “out on a limb” and, although there is a courtesy bus into town, this does not run in the evenings. Overall, we had a lovely stay with comfortable accommodation, excellent food and drink, a quiet pool and some decent entertainment. However, our experiences at other Louis hotels has been much better than this one.

First visit to this hotel. First the positives. Very attentive, friendly, professional staff. Good quality food all day. Outside areas, spotless. Plenty of sunbeds, padded sunbeds as well. Spa, good value. Animation team worked extremely hard. Entertainment, mixed, but nevertheless entertaining….a bit disorganised at times, especially bingo…but fun. Few negatives Rooms bland, in need of update especially bathrooms. Very little premium drinks. Hotel says no towels on sunbeds before 9.30 and would be removed…didn’t happen. Also no inflatables in pool….didnt happen. Hotel a little isolated…no bars nearby to stroll out to. If late check out, no courtesy room….have to use showers in spa…not ideal. But, All in all a chilled out holiday and staff made it good for their service. Would we return? Undecided as yet.
