Reviews of Gold Lagoon Kosher Hotel - by Amphora Hotel & Suites 4 stars

The Gold Lagoon is situated in the Amphora Hotel and Resort, with a separate kosher dining room that provides breakfast. The room and the grounds were beautiful, with a gorgeous view of the sea and quick and easy access to it. The infinity pool was a pleasure and was immaculate. Beach beds with umbrellas were set up At perfect locations to enjoy either the pool or the sea. The room was beautiful and quiet with a sweet porch that overlooked the grounds and a view to the sea. Breakfast was simple but filling with enough of an assortment to satisfy both parents and children. They even made fresh Omelettes and fried up halloumi cheese on the spot. All in all a perfect vacation spot - I can’t wait to come back!

the reviews we read were very mixed and we understand why. there are definitely things which make the hotel very well placed and comfortable. the garden is beautiful and the location is excellent. the rooms are fair quality - though as stated by others a little dark. the staff were very nice.

the lack of any shade over the pool or adjacent to the sides is inexplicable. it is impossible during the summer heat to spend any reasonable time next to or in the pool. this was a major drawback for us. regarding those jewishly observant travellers looking for a comparable, dietary restrictions notwithstanding, kosher breakfast (compared to the one in the regular dining hall) it is very disappointing. maybe the food is not available in Cyprus, but there was nothing special or exciting about it. (though the omelette was appreciated).

Near the sea

Small refrigerator in rooms

Blue Lagoon hotel was excellent. Food was plentiful and kosher. Room was very nice and people were extremely friendly. On the other hand, the Gold Lagoon was unacceptable, as per my comments below.

The Gold Lagoon hotel advertised as being kosher. That is why we chose it. For whatever reason, the hotel decided not to have kosher food for the time period we visited, but DID NOT TELL US that the advertised and necessary kosher food would not be served. That is not reasonable, interferes with religious observance and is simply outrageous. In the end, the facility arranged with a different kosher hotel in Paphos to transfer us there. Once the transfer was effected, the stay was very pleasant.

The location is perfect, and the room is big and hot. The breakfast has several selections.

This hotel doesn't exist. This hotel is amphora hotel and i didn't understand why they used a different name. I booked one room with 2 double beds. Instead of this, my room was 1 double bed and 2 folding beds. The mattress in double bed wasn't comfortable. I saw bath robes in the pictures, but I didn't find them. Once we drank the tea from the room, they didn't replace it. The main door room needs maintenance, there is a gap between door, wall, floor. The room needs more light in the night.

The nice view and the location

During afternoon (14-16.00) I wanted to sleep but the cleaning stuff made so much noise so I couldn't relax and sleep.

Breakfast excellent.

Sockets round earth pins. Not EU not UK, Indian. Hotel is not as named so do not rely on Google Maps. A nightmare to find. Took us over an hour.

Excellent Breakfast. Very Good Location

Suite room was great Good breakfast Great reception (we made a mistake as we were supposed to be at other hotel of their chain but they let us stay when we came)

Hot tube water should be replaced more often

It is over priced for the facilities provided. Doesn’t look like a 4 star hotel. Breakfast is also not great.

Position.

The receptionist was very rude, "short in words". Rooms are not connected to the reception an to the restaurant. In spite of a very havy rain the receptionist did not offer us an umbrella!!!!???

The kosher food was terrible We had stomach ache for the whole stay cos of the food The food was the same as a day before, The meat wasn't cooked well Small amount of food

VERY GENEROUS BREAKFAST AND A CENTRAL LOCATION WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS

Due to the fact that we were the only couple there the first four out of 7 days we were not provided as a five star hotel. The service was good but the food not on standard of five stars.

More of a selection of food and drinks at the meals. We felt that the staff was very friendly and helpful but it could have been more tasteful and diversified .

The hotel is no longer kosher according to the people running the hotel and should not be listed as such

That we were told by the hotel that it is no longer kosher a day before our arrival
