Adults Only! It was a blissful and beautiful experience in Paphos.
We chose King Jason as our honeymoon destination. On arrival fresh cool lemon or cucumber water, plush leather sofas, glass of bubbly, accompanied by chocolates as we checked in.
Concierge service brought our bags to our Superior Room overlooking the main pool side; with 4 pools to choose from!
Our room was a studio with separate bathroom; very clean, neutral decorated & comfortable with air con. In each room you get your own hessian pool bag to use with pool towels. Everyday your room would be cleaned with fresh shower towels, and large bottles of water in the fridge.
The staff are always helpful and friendly, you can order your drinks from your pool bed or from the pool itself. The pools are cleaned every evening with a fountain display. It’s gorgeous decorated, and the layout is perfect.
This hotel does not issue all-inclusive bands for your wrists, which is new to us as we’ve always had to wear one at other resorts, but the idea here is that everyone can relax, order and eat what they want. It doesn’t separate you from others, nor does it make you have crazy wrist tan lines!
Meal times are set within a timeframe, allowing plenty of time and space for all guests to enjoy. All covered indoors by plenty of air con!
Breakfast offers full cooked breakfasts, to creamy Greek yoghurt and toppings, cereals, pastries, like waffles and pancakes. The only criticism is the bacon and sausages, they aren’t what we have back in the UK but pleasant enough to eat. Lunch and dinner offer an incredible choice for all types of eaters, from hot dishes, to salads, soup, carvery and dessert. Dinner is themed, from Italian, Mexican to Asian dishes. Great pasta and gnocchi to hand rolled sushi and noodles. Each dish is flavourful, with seasonings and herbs, but don’t expect anything spicy because they do need to cater for everyone!
All drinks at the bars are included in the all-inclusive, from impressive cocktails, wines, Prosecco and shorts like Amaretto.
There’s an al-a-carte restaurant at the second pool side area (the infinity pool) which can be accessed via the library. This restaurant is called Pisco Peruvian Fusion, an outdoor tasting menu cooked by two incredible chefs in a very clean outdoor professional kitchen. Service was excellent, very attentive and topped up your wine throughout the night, the waiter explains each dish and its ingredients. Exclusive for approximately 10-15 people. All guests can book a table for one night for free. Be aware it’s outdoors so it will be humid and hot, plus as the tables are near water, mosquitoes will be close by! However - It was the BEST food we’ve tasted in a long time! From a papaya salad, raw seabass sashimi to the most tender pork cheek and the desserts were ice cold and full of flavour. The only downside was to the prawns; unfortunately whoever prepared them didn’t remove the intestinal tract which can cause a gritty taste. Besides this slight error, we highly recommend this restaurant!
Music plays in the background throughout the buffet restaurant and reception, quietly near the beach bar and a live singer in the evenings on the wooden veranda outside. No other entertainment is provided so if you’re looking for a lively experience, you can head down into bar street. It’s yet an elegant atmosphere and gives off a sultry adult vibe.
If you like cats, there are two main residents; a fat long haired white cat with ginger and grey patches who sleeps all day near the doors to the air con restaurant, and a skinny grey cat who loves slipping into the restaurant to see if he can persuade anyone to give him food. The staff usher him out as quick as possible! They don’t bother you, and are well cared for cats.
A shuttle bus is provided at certain day times, but the mall and harbour only 15mins walking distance if you can make it in the heat!
Thank you for an...
Read moreBeware, thief in Louis king jaison Paphos Last December me and my friend stayed with our families in Louis king jaison for 4 days (24th to 28th dec ) , on the evening of 26th as usual me and family went to my friend’s apartment for having dinner together ( 7.30 – 9.30 pm ) . As we were tiered we slept off after reaching our room . Next morning we found that all the currency (worth 2500 euro) from my purse and my wife’s bag were missing (only currency were missing rest everything intact). I am sure that someone from the hotel who had access to the duplicate key was watching us and did it . when informed to the manager he called the police , police came noted something on paper , but nothing happened. As I was with my friend I could manage to reach back home . Though the hotel is the trip adviser award winner for 2013, they have not bothered to resolve the issue yet. So think twice before booking your room in this hotel, any time you can get looted.
This is in response to the comment from hotel management On the day of the incident Mr Andreas had told me that two years back there was a similar incident and after that they had fixed some additional locks on the windows in ground floor rooms , He only noticed that our bedroom ( from where the money was lost ) window which was facing a small passage between two blocks of buildings , the lock was unlatched , and even the window on the front room was unlatched from inside , it was mentioned to the police that day ( for me it appears like someone from inside the hotel also is involved ) . On the day of the incident Mr Andreas response was appealing and he promised that he will look into the matter seriously , thrusting him I kept a low phase and did not make any issue there in front of other guests . I had already informed the hotel that I received a sum of USD 386 from my insurance (my loss around Euro 2500, this amount is the max the insurance company will pay for loss of personal money according to their policy), there used to be communications through e mail , until I asked them that who will take responsibility for my lose of money from their locked room & how will I get compensated for my loses . for the past 3-4 weeks no response from their side , so after I went public now they want to prove that I am fabricating a story . is this the award winning hotel from...
Read moreIt was an absolute pleasure for my wife and I staying here at the King Jason in Paphos. Firstly we had the best welcome from the lovely Maria who sat us down in their nice foyer with a drink immediately served to us while we waited for our luggage to be taken to our room. The room was wonderful. Very big, clean, a great comfy bed, shower and lovely balcony area. Had honestly the best sleeps while staying here. Rooms were cleaned daily by the friendly and efficient staff. The serving staff were exceptional throughout our whole stay. Everything about their service was 100% genuine. They were determined to make us feel happy always and always ensured we didn’t have empty glasses or plates on our table for long at all. The most friendly team I have encountered. You could see the joy and passion they have everyday for what they were doing. We stayed 14 days and this never changed! Food was a very high standard and completed surpassed expectations for what I would normally see at an all inclusive hotel. Delicious fresh food with lots of choice and high quality. All pool areas were some of the best I’ve seen at an all inclusive holiday. Great availability of loungers too. The drinks were easy to be served and brought efficiently. These were real cocktails and proper drinks using official branded liquors too. No knock off nigel booze which was great unlike some of the other all inc places I’ve stayed at. If anything else we needed such as information about local site we got in abundance. Once again Maria blew us away with her knowledge and meticulous detail on explained what was around and how to get to places. Her like all the other staff delivered this with a smile. You felt everything was in hand at all times and nothing was ever too much for this fantastic team. As I’m writing this review I’m feeling a little glum as we’re currently waiting for our shuttle to take us back to the airport. This was the best holiday I’ve been on. Would 100% come back here and would highly recommend this to all people who are looking for a lovely hotel to stay at. Plenty to do around Paphos and this hotel is a great place to base yourself at for this. They have a very good car rental service that is arranged via the hotel. Could not be more convenient and reasonably priced too. We want to thank all the staff here for our...
