We just returned from a one-week stay at the Olympic Lagoon Resort in Paphos. While the reception staff was very welcoming, our initial experience with the room was disappointing. We had booked a room with partial sea view, but it had visible mold on the ceiling and wall, accompanied by a musty, damp smell. After reporting this, housekeeping responded by spraying heavy amounts of the hotel’s signature fragrance into the air conditioning system and all over the room—even the curtains. Covering up the issue with perfume does not make the air healthy, and for someone who values clean, fresh air to sleep in, this was far from acceptable.
After two sleepless and stressful nights, we were upgraded to a proper sea view room, which was much better. However, losing two nights of rest on a one-week holiday is simply not acceptable, especially given the price and the resort's 5-star rating.
The food in the main restaurant is generally good for an all-inclusive resort, but the desserts are extremely poor—mostly frozen mousse or industrial cakes that look like they've been picked over. Six years ago, we stayed here and were much more impressed by the food and drink quality. Now, for example, cocktails are made with soda from a syrup dispenser instead of proper bottled drinks. It’s clear there has been a noticeable decline.
On a positive note, the staff across the resort are genuinely kind and hard-working—kudos to the entire team.
But to be honest, we wouldn’t book this hotel again.

We recently spent Easter at the Olympic Lagoon Resort in Paphos, and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff went above and beyond to make the holiday special. They had thoughtfully arranged transport for guests who wished to attend the local church service, which was such a lovely touch. After the service, there was delicious traditional Easter food available, and everything was perfectly organized.
A special mention must go to Lucia, the restaurant manager, who was absolutely amazing—warm, professional, and always attentive. She made every meal feel personal and welcoming.
The pools were sparkling clean and well-maintained throughout our stay, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. And the food—what can I say? It was absolutely incredible. From the variety at the buffet to the quality of ingredients, every meal exceeded our expectations.
We left feeling refreshed, well-fed, and truly cared for. I would highly recommend Olympic Lagoon Paphos, especially for a special occasion like Easter.

We had the most fabulous stay at this 5-star hotel in Paphos! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—special thanks to Dimitri Dimitrio, who went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Every detail was taken care of with such care and professionalism. The food was absolutely delicious with so much variety, the pool area was pristine and relaxing, and the facilities throughout the hotel were top-notch. You can really feel the attention to detail in everything they do. Can’t wait to come back—highly recommended! Thank you also for the surprise birthday cake and balloon delivered to my room. What a lovely surprise!

We've stayed at this fantastic hotel three times and 😳😲. Just had an amazing holiday 🎉🎉😁 the staff are lovely so attentive felt like royalty. Food is very good 😊👍 and lovely cocktails and drinks. We will definitely book again. Only criticism is wet steps near the indoor pool, I fell on the steps. I was ok bruised sprained ankle now mending. I was lucky not to have done anything serious. I do think those steps should have a non slip coating. They were wet because someone had walked on them straight from the pool. I didn't notice and fell bit of a worry with there being elderly guests staying we thought.

only stayed 4 days but experienced most of what the hotel had to offer (although we didn't bother with the a la carte restaurants as it wasn't the best option for the children). The rooms and facilities were great, Simona made up our room beautifully and was really friendly. Almost everyone went out of their way to be friendly and welcoming. There was a mix up with sunbeds which have to be booked on your first day and then remain "yours" for the duration, we were double booked and subsequently relocated, which isn't ideal. The hotel information (website etc) has quite a specific dress code and states very clearly in multiple sections that inflatables are not allowed in any of the pool areas. We found that the dress code was not enforced and that balls and inflatables were in use in every pool area. This was frustrating as we would have planned and packed differently if we had known none of these "rules" would be enforced. We also found it a little tricky to find out what around at first (although reception were always helpful when we asked where things like the restaurant/kids club were) and would value a "map" feature adding to the hotel app. The food was lovely, good quality and lots of variety, there would be plenty of options for anyone to choose from and the staff were always helpful in advising or providing what was requested (such as a glass of milk for the toddler). The main negative was the behaviour of other guests, specifically their children. Children of all ages were running around corridors and the lobby area and nearly ran into us multiple times, which is not good when you are carrying a toddler. They were also using the bedroom corridors to chase each other and play "hide and seek" in addition to "riding the lifts" late into the evening, which was a problem for us when trying to get the baby to sleep, and trying to sleep ourselves. So I would say, if you don't like badly behaved, unsupervised children disturbing your sleep, book outside of school holidays.
