Our opinion

The Annabelle, deservedly, has its own loyal following for its understated elegance, good service and beautiful surroundings.

Hotel description

Lush water gardens overlook the Paphos coastline and hibiscus and palm tree-laden grounds provide seclusion in the most beautiful of surroundings. The hotel’s architecture is modern and unfussy, complementing the bright colours of the landscape superbly. The interiors are light and airy, furnished with understated elegance, and classical decorations throughout the hotel pay homage to the island’s ancient past.The guestrooms are decorated in soft colours, elegantly furnished with marbled floors and furniture that maintains a local feel. Each room has a private balcony or terrace, with views over either the garden or the Mediterranean and the old fishing harbour of Paphos. Family rooms are available, accommodating up to four people, and connecting rooms are available on request. The Annabelle’s freeform swimming pool meanders through the water gardens, providing ideal space for relaxing.
A comprehensive range of water sports is offered, including scuba diving tuition and waterskiing. Children can enjoy an excellent range of activities at the Smiling Dolphin Children’s Club from April to October and during the Christmas holidays. The quality and variety of the food at the hotel is widely celebrated, due in part to the excellent chefs and fresh produce, much of which is often grown at the hotel itself. There are four restaurants, three of which welcome children. These include the Fontana, which has a wonderful and lively family atmosphere and offers both buffet and à la carte dining.
Adults will enjoy the range of treatments that are offered at the Andromeda Health and Beauty Centre, such as the Thalasso Oligo, an energising seawater treatment. Although very much a relaxing and peaceful hotel, The Annabelle’s excellent facilities and activities ensure that there is much to occupy guests of all ages.
