A lovely quiet and pretty location, despite being only 10 mins from the airport. It should cost about €30/35 euros to get from the airport to the apartments in a taxi. Spacious and comfortable apartments, basic style but very clean. Washing machine in apartment and excellent air conditioning. Huge private terrace over looking the pool which is lovely. The terraces have a table and chairs and ours also had 2 loungers and an airer for drying washing which everybody seems to use. People don’t drape towels over the balcony’s, so it’s a pretty place to sit! The outside pool area is lovely. The apartments are very attractive. Nice padded sun loungers, there are a few which are not quite so nice but mostly good and there are plenty. Cleaners prepare the area every morning, gardens kept nicely. It’s a quiet resort, no music, very relaxed and very nice guests when we were there. 5 minute walk to 5 restaurants in Mandria, our favourite was The Tavern, excellent Thai food. Also little supermarket which has everything you need. Walk to Mandria beach 20 minutes, beautiful sunsets and rustic very friendly bar. Nice loungers, parasols and new clean facilities. Taxi to Paphos is €30/35 euros. Now the best bit…..Peter and Angela, the resort hosts. You couldn’t meet a lovelier Cypriot couple. They are the most welcoming and genuinely good people. They greeted us by name when we arrived and welcomed us like family. They are the cherry on the top of Aphrodite Sands. Also Christos, who looks after the pool and maintenance, a genuinely lovely man. Having been into Paphos to visit friends at their hotel, I was very pleased to get back to Aphrodite sands, it was not comparable! Peaceful and calm. I would certainly go back.
