Mare Paphos

I have wrote previously about the warmth and empathy there is here… broadly speaking that’s the field I work in..So, just as - “The eyes are the windows to the soul” as is.. “Active listening the enemy of assumption” ..staying here in the final quiet week in November when the frequency of life was toned down allowed for me to more empathically feel this special place through the experience of the people who work here, and it was so lovely to ‘see’ them all. There are very few things that manage to floor me as a therapist, but here hospitality does indeed emanate from their hearts. Their words, gestures, and their kindness, they are entirely genuine with no false outer façade, It is not forced or taught. Staff are driven by a passion and values that empowers their vision of what hospitality means, and it’s that same purpose that has brought together the most remarkable and eclectic group of creative professionals with the experience, love and flair for hospitality - everything fits perfectly together, providing an unparalleled experience of warmth, relaxation , peace and ultimate well-being (my passion). Nata, after a long day, there was a myriad of reasons why I was so relieved to walk through the doors of the hotel, a spontaneous, genuine hug from you greeted me, your gentle demeanour, kind and sincere words instantly put me at ease. In the early evening I returned to my room. I still had makeup on at this point, it had withstood a long day; a 7.am flight etc..Karina (I may have mentioned her once or twice before) had left a sentimental handwritten note in my room - your ability to reach anyone with your your words and gestures is profound…. you talk, write and work from your heart and this serves as a testament to the congruence I speak of - as for the makeup, it gave up the valiant fight to stay on any longer, non waterproof..(panda like, you get it). There are so many “Thank you’s”… Siisike, Karina and Ausma…Thank you all for room 1209, it provided a stunning aspect of this beautiful place, the ocean and mesmerising sunset’s; the space and time for reflection and a library’s worth of inspiration and, yes - peace. Peace is a rare commodity, for me it’s priceless, much like the memories of the precious moments I take back with me each time that I visit here, and I use the experience of it as a metaphor for life - “Go with whatever makes you feel peaceful”. The vicissitudes of life can leave us all depleted and “Stressed out” and I manage that ordinarily, you get my point (Therapist and peace 🙄) but being here is effortless, the whole environment is conducive to relaxation. Subjectively, it feels like I step into a world were so much care and pride is taken in their work across all areas. It’s a trust that has been earned through observation and experience, and so to negates any concerns. This visually striking hotel gleams with a clinical standard of cleanliness. We live in a world where optics matter, here each restaurant is im

We stayed at Atlantica Mare Village Paphos in October and I must say it was one of the best hotels we’ve stayed! The food, the drinks, the rooms and the lovely views added up to our perfect little trip. I’d like to address a special thanks to Karina from Guest Services… Dear Karina, Thank you so much for checking up on my little one following his little rash and also for the lovely note in our room and chocolate cake… which he LOVED!. His rash was all cleared up and he loved his time at Atlantica Mare, we all did. I’m so touched by your kindness and thankful for your time and recommendations every time we spoke. You’re amazing at your job and a true asset to this hotel. Thank you so much!

We are delighted with this place. The entire staff deserves special praise; everyone is helpful and always ready with a smile. The grounds are beautiful, offering something for everyone to enjoy. The food is delicious, the waitstaff are wonderful, and the restaurants are high-quality with excellent drinks. There’s a bus stop near the hotel, making it easy to explore the area. Rooms are cleaned regularly. We highly recommend this place :)
