Venus Beach Hotel

⭐ 1/5 – Very Disappointing Stay My experience at Venus Beach Hotel was extremely unpleasant. A staff member named Sofia spoke to me rudely at breakfast when I politely asked where the cutlery was. She told me I “cannot sit over that side” and then publicly commented that I needed to “dress properly,” even though I had a blouse over my bikini and was never told about any dress code. I would have happily abided by any dress code. It was humiliating and made me uncomfortable returning to breakfast for the rest of my stay. Reception staff were also rude and dismissive. We had to ask three times for our room to be cleaned after ordering room service, only to then be told we were supposed to call room service ourselves to collect dishes - information no one mentioned beforehand. Some restaurant staff were kind, but overall the poor attitude from others made us feel unwelcome. As the only people of colour in the hotel, the difference in how we were treated was noticeable and uncomfortable. Would not recommend based on this experience however they have great amenities. Great area to stay but avoid Venus!

Reception staff were excellent. Hotel rooms are great in close proximity to the beach and the coastal path walk into Paphos harbour.

Poor facilities for a so called 5 star. Gym & sauna closed all season. Check out supposed to 11am but ckeaning staff were in room at 10am whilst we were at breakfast & threw all our toiletries away. Not a freat stay & woukdnt recommend

Location by the beach is best! Great view!

1-Star Experience at a Falsely Advertised 5-Star Resort ​This hotel is a severely outdated, run-down relic, falling short of three-star standards. It is the opposite of luxury. ​Hygiene & Maintenance is Dire: The room had unacceptable hygiene issues; I woke up with numerous bites all over my body, and the bathroom grout was covered in mold. The shower was broken, and staff refused to fix it, claiming the hotel was full. Common areas were stained, and the cheap plastic sun loungers had never-cleaned crash mats. ​All-Inclusive is a Scam: Avoid the all-inclusive package. It covers only an estimated 10% of the menu, forcing excessive fees, and drinks are significantly overpriced. Crucially, my partner suffered violent food poisoning on day two, requiring us to eat off-site for the rest of the trip. ​Hostile & Restrictive Management: Service was universally rude, driven by visibly low-morale staff. When trying to bring outside food (due to illness), the manager and security guard were aggressively confrontational, citing a ridiculous small-print rule forbidding outside food in the room. This hostile enforcement made the stay feel like a restrictive institution, not a hospitality experience. ​Final Verdict: This property lacks basic cleanliness, service, and value. With widespread fly issues, non-existent entertainment, and price gouging (€10 towels, €30 sunscreen), guests seeking a relaxing stay should absolutely look elsewhere. A truly awful experience.
