Hylatio Tourist Village

Advertised as a quite, relaxing location with home cooked food by the tour operator and owners. We paid for all inclusive and the home cooked food consisted mainly of things such as fish fingers, chicken nuggets, meatballs and tinned veg. The hotel was overrun with approx 150+ teenagers who were on a hospitality course. Being teenagers they were noisy, rowdy and overtook the hotel. There was a lack of supervision from their teachers which resulted in them having parties until the early hours of the morning, the restaurant was a canteen and the foyer area was turned into a classroom. It took two days to see a rep and the only response was that the tour operator only books the rooms and accountable for what was going on. If we wanted to move (which a number of couples did) to another hotel we would have to pay a £50 admin fee, the cost of the transfer and any upgrade of hotel. A number of couples had been numerous times but commented they wouldn't go back. If you like to explore the local area you will need to hire a car as the busses are limited and the last busses back are at 14.30.

We stayed in this hotel a few years ago and enjoyed it , a quiet friendly hotel with lovely staff so we had no hesitation to book again. Oh dear our experience this time had no comparison to our last visit. The food was very poor , good salads but the rest was processed , tinned or frozen foods . Breakfast was good but when you add approximately 120 Italian students into the mix the whole eating experience becomes like eating in a very noisy school dining hall. The hotel sectioned off a large area of the lounge to create a classroom and so there was very limited indoor seating left and as the bar was outside, too cold to sit outside in the evenings, many guests just went back to there rooms in the evening. The hotel staff were lovely , friendly and helpful. I understand the business wanting to fill the hotel with guests but the clash between mature people wanting a quiet holiday and students wanting to enjoy themselves just does not mix. I think Jet2 should have been aware of this and told guests prior to them booking this hotel. So disappointed that our well earned holiday was not as expected and I’m sorry to say we will not return to this hotel again.

Absolute shambles, food disgusting if you managed to get any, no heating very cold at night, no tv, it seemed like a Italian student campus, wild, bad mannered, drunk, ate everything in sight up all night partying and the management and owner did nothing

I agree with everything Vincent Coates says. This is not a tourist village. It’s a borstal correction centre. When one lot move out another lot move in. These are not polite kids. These are not quiet kids. Bring earplugs if you want sleep. Top tip. Do not come here.

Had a lovely stay on this resort. We were lucky to have a peaceful, chilled, relaxing time as we visited in November. We loved it, and would return out of season. In season, it would be too busy for us. Out of season, there were always sunbeds. As it was winter, only a handful of loungers were in the sun by about 230pm then the sun went totally by about 330pm. You can then go to the beach for the last rays. It was mild when we went, so not for the sun worshippers late season. The bar and terrace area outside were great. Music most of the day which was perfect volume and vibe. Lovely to sit outside for breakfast, bit too cool for dinner outside in Nov. We had b and b but you can add all inclusive for 25 Euros a day which is a great deal (minimum 3 days) We were out and about for a couple of days so it wasn’t worth it for us. The food looked and smelt good. The breakfast was a good variety of hot with bacon, eggs, beans, sausages etc, plus porridge, fruit, cereals, cold meats and cheese plus juice and coffees. People moaning about it being the same, maybe should just vary day to day and not load up the same every morning. Nice lounge area with sofas and book case to chill in. We ate once for dinner in the hotel restaurant, delicious Moussaka. Cocktails lovely but lethal lol. Local beer tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were very friendly. Lots of cats on the resort, we actually went from non cat-lovers, to cat lovers. They were really cool and if you shooed them they went away. The grounds were beautiful. Top marks to the staff for looking after it so well. It wouldn’t have had the same feel without the gorgeous foliage. The location is great. Not too far from the bay shops and restaurants but far enough away to be quiet. The room was great. Yes it’s tired but it was clean, and every day except one, housekeeping came in and changed bins and made beds. They were great. We had asked to be away from the pool as we like a quiet area but they put us right behind it. Fortunately it was very quiet as only a third full. Lovely terrace to sit on with airer. We didn’t cook, but cooking utensils were limited. You have to ask for a hot plate to cook on. Nice pagoda to sit under but the sofas need to be replaced. Maybe they do this once the season finishes. We found the beds comfortable. We walked to the village which was pretty and a square where we ate at O Krakas taverna which was lovely. In the bay, we ate at Coast (overpriced drinks), Kastro (lovely vibe, great food, reasonable), Baytree bar (great food, I wouldn’t go if the football was on as too many screens lol), Vineleaf (traditional tasty food, reasonably priced), Captains Bay (beach location, lovely setting). Local shop expensive. We hired a car from Perry down the road, which was reasonable. Don’t expect bells and whistles, but you’re getting a good price so who cares. We visited Paphos, not our cup of tea. But the prom is nice with restaurants etc and probably better for nightlife

Always Great Always a great friendly fun value for money stay. Good atmosphere even at this end of the season. See you in the spring.
