Avanti Village

Avanti holiday village is a 2-3 star at best and not the 4 star that is advertised. It's a highly populated apartment village with very little privacy - well maintained gardens - average levels of cleanliness and an adequately stocked kitchen to make simple breakfasts and very simple evening meals. The apartment is extremely basic - no frills and it's in need of a refresh, think back to a holiday you took in 1995 and you will imagine the bathroom it's extremely basic. The plus sides the aircon was 10/10 in the humidity of August in Cyprus it was fridge like to the point you looked forward to it and the quality of the beds and bedding was also good considering the simplicity of everything else. It's a cost effective base to explore paphos and the surrounding areas nothing more - if you are looking for more than that I would shop around.

We have been coming to Avanti Holiday Village for several years now, and we always enjoy our stay. The pool is great, with lifeguards on duty, and of course the Cyprus weather never disappoints.

One of the highlights for us is definitely the food at the outside restaurant. They have a good à la carte selection, with both traditional Cypriot dishes and Western options. Over the years we have tried pretty much everything on the menu and can definitely vouch for the quality and taste. The prices are also very reasonable, and we actually find it cheaper than going out to eat outside.

It is also really nice to come back every year and be greeted by familiar faces, such as Dimitra, the restaurant manager, and kind and helpful waiters like Elsa, who is always ready to assist us.

This year we also had the pleasure of meeting Fanos, the Manager, who was very kind, approachable and helpful.

All in all, Avanti Holiday Village continues to be a place we really enjoy coming back to year after year.

We’ve just come back from our 5th stay at Avanti Village, and once again we’ve had a fantastic holiday. When you return somewhere for the fifth time, I think that says everything!

We had a lovely large room overlooking the pool. It was basic but spotlessly clean, as was the whole complex, and the maid service was excellent throughout our stay.

We never had a problem with unseasonable noise, but at night we could sometimes hear the faint sound of suitcase wheels, indicating the arrival of lucky new arrivals.

The pool is a real highlight — it’s huge, so there’s plenty of space even when the resort is busy, and the swim-up bar is a great addition. Drinks and snacks are very reasonably priced too. We never had any trouble getting a sunbed, and there were always extra ones piled up for anyone arriving later, so thankfully none of the usual early-morning sunbed scramble!

Pool towels are available and can be changed daily between 10am and 11am next to the indoor pool, which is very convenient.

Breakfast is a great-value buffet, with plenty of choice, and the taverna is also very reasonably priced for lunch, snacks and drinks. We enjoyed using it during our stay and thought the prices were very fair.

But what really makes Avanti Village special is the staff. They are consistently friendly, welcoming and helpful, and they genuinely make you feel looked after. A special mention has to go to Demetra, who is exceptional. She is always so friendly, attentive and helpful, and nothing ever seems too much trouble. Another staff member who deserves a mention is Elsa, who always greets you with a warm welcome and smile.

The Village is situated a short walk or bus ride to the popular harbour area, however for visitors who want to stay in the close proximity to the apartments there are also plenty of restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

After five visits, we obviously wouldn’t keep coming back if we didn’t love the place — and we’re already looking forward to stay number six!

If you’re looking for somewhere clean, friendly, relaxing and offering excellent value for money, we would definitely recommend Avanti Village. ❤️
