Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel

Adults only, beachfront, and built around suites rather than standard hotel rooms, Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel is aimed squarely at couples who want their evenings orderly and their mornings unhurried. You have outdoor pools, gardens, terraces and loungers on site, while the sea is not a shuttle ride away but part of the address itself.

An English-speaking hotel team makes day-to-day communication straightforward. Hotel information is also available in German, Russian, French, Italian and Polish, which is useful when you are arranging the less glamorous parts of a holiday. The atmosphere is polished rather than rowdy, with live music, evening entertainment and themed dinner nights available when you want a little life after sunset.

You are in Paphos City, Cyprus, on Theas Afroditis Avenue in Kato Paphos. The hotel sits directly on a sandy beach, with sun loungers and parasols ready for the part of the day when you would rather look at the water than do anything energetic in it.

Paphos fishing harbour is about 1.9 miles away and the town centre about 2.5 miles. Shops, bars and restaurants are around 0.3 miles from the hotel, close enough to provide an alternative to the evening menu without turning dinner into an expedition. Yeroskipou Beach is about 0.6 miles away, while SODAP Beach is around 1 mile away.

The archaeological side of Paphos is also within reach. St Paul's Pillar is about 1.8 miles away, Paphos Archaeological Park around 2.2 miles, and the House of Dionysus roughly 2.2 miles. Paphos International Airport is around 9.3 miles away by road, with the journey taking about 20 minutes.

The accommodation is suite-based, which gives you more room to separate the sitting-down part of the evening from the sleeping part. Most air-conditioned suites have a separate seating area, and every suite has a balcony, satellite television and a minibar. That means cold water is available when you come back warm, salty and in no mood for a room-service debate.

Sea-view suites are the natural choice if the outlook matters to you; limited sea-view and land-view options keep the decision more practical. Executive suites add a private pool, with either a sea or garden outlook. The Deluxe Superior front sea-view suite is the larger option in the collection, while the Junior Suite keeps things more compact for a couple who would rather spend their time outside.

Air conditioning matters in Cyprus, particularly when a full day has left you overheated. Daily housekeeping, free Wi-Fi, room service and breakfast in the room make the return to base less complicated. The hotel is adults only, and check-in requires you to be at least 18.

Four restaurants cover the main meals, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served daily. Breakfast is buffet-style, with continental, Italian, full English and Irish, vegetarian, gluten-free and American choices. You can therefore go light, go traditional, or construct the sort of plate that suggests a long day ahead even when the plan is only to occupy a lounger.

A bar and a snack bar handle the less formal moments, while the minibar gives you something closer at hand. Breakfast can also come to your room, and special-diet menus are available on request. Fruits are available as well, which is a useful detail when you want something simple rather than another full operation with cutlery.

The restaurants also run themed dinner nights, with live music and evening entertainment available on site. For evening dining, smart Bermuda shorts are requested in the restaurants. The dress code is not a hardship, but it is worth knowing before you arrive in the same shorts that have spent the afternoon beside the pool.

Three pools give you a choice of water and weather: two outdoor pools for the Cyprus sun and an indoor heated pool when you prefer a quieter swim. The beach is directly accessible, with loungers and parasols, so the simplest plan remains a perfectly respectable one. Garden terraces and outdoor furniture provide places to sit without having to join a scheduled activity.

Elixir Spa offers massages, facials, body treatments, mud baths, wraps, a hammam, sauna and jacuzzi. Couples massages are available, alongside a spa lounge and relaxation area. After a demanding run of dives, that is the sort of programme that requires no special qualification and very little motivation.

If staying still starts to feel suspicious, there is a tennis court, fitness centre, fitness classes, billiards and darts. Golf is available within about 1.9 miles, and bicycle rental, local-culture tours, cycling, hiking, canoeing, horse riding and snorkelling are available through the hotel or nearby arrangements. Live music and themed evenings cover the gentler end of the entertainment scale.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to midnight, while check-out is from 09:00 to 12:00. A 24-hour front desk, private check-in and check-out, luggage storage, currency exchange and a tour desk keep the useful admin in one place. Car hire is available, and free private parking is provided on site without a reservation.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Room service, daily housekeeping, a minimarket and a barber and beauty shop are also available, with a lift serving the property. The hotel accepts cash, and cancellation or prepayment conditions vary by accommodation type, so check the terms attached to the suite you choose.

This is an adults-only property: children are not accommodated, and cots and extra beds are not available. Smoking is not permitted indoors, pets are not allowed, and mobility scooters are not permitted on the premises. Electric and manual wheelchairs are permitted.
