Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark — Attraction in Yeroskipou

Would not recommend. Expensive, overcrowded and poor quality food. THE DEFINITION OF A TOURIST TRAP

Attended during a weekday and paid over €100 for entry for two adults and two children aged 5 and 3. There was a 20 minute wait in a queue to get in, even for pre-booked tickets. For the children's ages it was literally just the kids pool that was suitable for them. I don't understand why my wife and I had to pay €30 each to sit around the kids pool supervising our small children. It is not like we can leave them and go on some rides. They need to introduce pricing for kids pool section only or take into account parents with small children.

It was also ridiculously busy and overcrowded. Not a single sunbed free and the sunbeds are crammed together and within touching distance from one another. Therefore, no personal space.

The worst thing is they say no food and drink allowed. The prices are extortionate and the food is the lowest of the low in quality. Bought the two kids, two drinks each, an ice lolly each, chicken nugget, chips and a gyros wrap, plus a coke and two waters. I ended up getting charged €63 I threw away the food because of how bad it was. Chicken nuggets are frozen. The gyros is far from Greek with BBQ sauce and gherkins. I felt sick after eating part of the food. Also UPDATE, I ended up with food poisoning. As I write this , I have spent the last two days rushing to the toilet.

My advice is simple, bring a cool bag with your own food and drink. Also, there is no point coming here if your children are younger than 6. If you do then be aware that you are paying the full entry cost of having to be there and give your small children your undivided attention to ensure they don't drown. As such you will be unable to enjoy the park.

Lastly so you are aware, they have a photographer that goes round taking pictures of your kids without permission. The setup is that they print them off and place them on exit to try and get you to buy them. A printed photo costs €10. What a RIP OFF!!!!!

Here are example prices so you know what to expect: 500ml bottle of water - €1.80 Can of ice tea - €3.60 Carton of small kids juice - €3 Small bag of frozen poorly cooked chicken nuggets - €7 Small bag of rancid oiley chips - €3.20 Small cup of budget white wine - €4.90 Disgusting Chicken Doner in pitta - €7.50 Small can of coke -...

This waterpark is great. Lots of slides, chutes, a lazy river, a bouncy balloon in the water and a wave pool and lots more. We booked online which gives you a discount. We arrived about 12pm and didn't have to queue to get in. We were each given a wristband which is scanned every time you buy something and you settle the bill when you leave - a really good idea so you're not messing around with cash or cards. We got a locker key, put our stuff in and off we went. We had great fun trying out all the slides etc. Some had longer queues than others but we didn't have to wait too long for any of them. There are plenty of sunbeds around in all sorts of areas to use if you want to sit down for a break from the fun. There are lifeguards and safety staff all over the place managing the slides, landing areas and pools so it's very safe. There are a few places to get food and drink and all in all they're pretty reasonable. When it came time for us to leave, we used the showers and changing room to put dry clothes on - if it's really busy there may be a bit of a wait time for these I suspect as there spent a lot of them. There were lots of cashier desks open so there was no wait time to pay. They cut off the band, print out your itemised bill, show it to you, you pay and off you go. We got the 611 bus from Tomb of the Kings station. It drops you off/picks you up right outside the entrance. Bear in mind the last 611 bus to go back to Pafos from the waterpark is 6.15pm. The park closes at 6pm so maybe leave a little earlier to make sure you don't miss it.1 One thing that is an absolute MUST is to wear something on your feet when you're in the park. The day we went the temperature was 31 degrees and the paths in the park were RED HOT. We wore socks as suggested in other reviews but when the temp is that hot they're no good. They get wet, then you walk on the path and the moisture in your socks quickly heats up and can scald your feet - I speak from experience. I ended up buying a pair of the plastic pool shoes they sell in the shop - it was the best 16 euros I ever spent I can tell you. Take flop flops, sliders, pumps anything like that. All in all we had a wonderful day at the park and would highly...

Visited the water park which is rated the 3rd best in Europe, therefore was expecting much better. It has a few good slides, most of the queues were approx 20-30 mins. Nice splash park for young children with a couple of slides, however it isn’t manned by staff and some children were pushing in and I witnessed several accidents because the children were not waiting for the previous child to get off before going on, and end up kicking the person in front! This could easily been avoided if there was staff there to watch the queues and alert the children when to go on. I liked the idea of a cashless waterpark, you purchase food/ drink etc via your wristband. The Thai/Chinese food was not good, and the prices were extortionate. It’s very unfair that guests are having to pay so much for entry without being ripped off. 1 piece of chicken satay cost €3, it was extremely dry and chewy! The chicken and Singapore noodles cost €17, in total I spent €95 for very poor food. Kids were hungry as they couldn’t finish their food as it was so tasteless! To top this off after I had paid on exit, I check the receipt and they had over charge me an extra portion of rice. I don’t think it is fair that guests are not allowed to bring their own food and drinks on site, some guests can’t afford to buy food and drinks after spending money for the entry. I have never known anywhere like this in the UK or any other countries I have visited. There was no parking available as it was full, therefore we had to drive around and find parking elsewhere. If you can not accommodate that many cars then maybe put a limit on the amount of ticket sale. The positives of this place is it is clean, there are lots of beds, the wave pool was an added bonus so kids can relax after their slides. However I would suggest you try the food and decide if this is the poor quality you want to serve your guests. I have recommended this place to my friends also visiting in Cyprus, but have warned them to not eat there. Better off eating a...
