Olympic Lagoon Resort

Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos boasts a prime coastline location on a Blue Flag beach. Swim in one of the five themed lagoon swimming pools or relax amongst the vast, landscaped tropical gardens. Meanwhile your children can join one of the clubs with activities tailored for their age group, whether they are at nursery or will be taking their GCSEs next year.

To keep fit, challenge your partner to a game of tennis or have a five-a-side football match against another family. The indoor fitness centre offers a complete range of equipment, including state of the art cardio machinery and weights. If you don’t want to exercise alone, join one of the group classes.

Those seeking ultimate relaxation must check out the alluring selection of treatments and massages available at the Spa. Or just make use of the sauna, steam bath and heated indoor swimming pool available to guests.

The Royal Olympic offers a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner serving international cuisine with different theme nights. There’s also a special selection for the kids to enjoy. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Diner provides an American style experience, while there are also Italian and pan-Asian options. Those preferring local Cypriot dishes should book a table under the evening sun at the Captain’s Deck. The Snackeria offers bites and light meals from 10:30 to 18:00 daily.

When you wish to cool off with a drink you will have a choice of five bars, including indoor and outdoor swim-up options. You & Me welcomes accompanied children until 10pm, after which it’s adults only.

Even the smallest rooms are a generous 29m2 and are either big enough for three guests or equipped with a large King Bed for two people. They each have WiFi, air conditioning/heating, a balcony, a digital TV and a safe. Tea & coffee making facilities and bottled mineral water are replenished daily. The family junior suites can sleep up to three children in single or bunk beds, as well as two adults in a separate partitioned area, both areas having their own TV.

There are numerous historical sites to visit in Paphos, so ensure you book a stay long enough to allow you to tick off the many sites, as well as leaving time to relax. You could spend hours exploring the Kato Pafos Archaeological Park, an important ancient Greek and Roman city which still isn’t fully excavated. Here you will see mosaics, as well as the remains of temples and theatres. Christians shouldn’t miss St. Paul’s Pillar, dating from 45AD, located where he attempted to convert Paphos from Paganism to Christianity. For children who aren’t interested in history, there’s a zoo and a waterpark. If you fancy playing a few rounds of golf during your break, you can head to Marios Golf Park, a 9-hole golf course that is 8km north of the hotel.
