Hotels Near Ayios Neofytos Forest in Tala

The best experience ever! Honestly can't rate the Theo sunset hotel highly enough. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional and make you feel like a VIP. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, equipped with a coffee machine, comfy beds, fridge,air conditioning and hot showers. The hotel is high up and the pool and bar area face a large bay meaning you can sit at the bar or relax next to the infinity pool, soaking up the sun and drinking in views over to Coral bay - perfect especially for sunset. The breakfast was incredible - a huge buffet style breakfast with a vast choice of cooked and cold food and drinks. We hired a car and the hotel made a great base for exploring many other regions of the island, including a great visit to the Troodos mountains which was recommended by the manager. Would definitely recommend staying here and really hope we can make a return visit at some point in the future. Huge thanks to all the team at Theo sunset for a wonderful holiday. 🙏☀️

We stayed here for a week in September, and enjoyed it very much. We had a suite overlooking the mountains in the distance (and the bins a little closer by); I am sure that a sea view would be lovely, but we were perfectly happy with our view from the balcony. The suite was spacious and there was lots of storage space, which can be a real problem at many hotels, so we could keep everything looking tidy. We only used the kitchen area for making drinks, but it didn’t look like there was much equipment for cooking. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was fine if not especially high-end. Air conditioning was very effective. The pool area was very lovely indeed…one of the stars of the hotel, and there was a decent range of drinks and bar snacks available by the pool. Breakfast was reasonable but sometimes became depleted, and there was little if any variety from day to day; presentation of the breakfast options could perhaps be more attractive. The hotel is set back from a busy main road. There’s no issue with noise - it’s a very peaceful place to stay, which was one of the pluses. There is a good, reasonably priced bus service that runs every 10-15 minutes between Pathos and Coral Bay that we used a lot. There are several restaurants within 5-15 minutes walking distance, but this usually means walking along the main road, which as mentioned is pretty busy. Of course I am sure that a taxi could be ordered to avoid the walk. The bar snack menu is available at the hotel in the evening, but nothing more elaborate. Staff overall are friendly, helpful and very good indeed, and we were definitely made to feel welcome. There are many hotel options in the area, but I think that we made a very good choice.

I’ve stayed & worked in many hotels in my life. For a 3* hotel it’s lovely; great views, its own beach & lagoon, clean pools & wonderful staff. Yes it could do with a little updating in one or two areas but ALL hotels could! It’s a big hotel & can hold a few thousand people at its busiest times. If you choose to get up late be prepared to queue for the breakfast buffet for about 3 minutes. There are rude people from every part of the world & some amazing people from Eastern Europe! It’s a buffet - be prepared to carry your own drinks but if you asked I’m sure a member of staff would help. As far as I’m aware the hotel doesn’t promote itself as disabled friendly so worth doing your research first according to your disability. There are several toilets by the big pool next to the beach but as there is no toilet attendant (it’s 3* don’t forget!) it doesn’t get cleaned every 5 minutes. ALL staff are lovely but like any normal person, friendlier towards more approachable people. The entertainment is adequate but if you need constant entertainment go somewhere else but it’s more a hotel for relaxing. It’s worth booking B&B, upgrading to half board for half your stay & go out & pay double for a different choice if you’re fussy. Yes it can get busy in the restaurant but the staff are lovely. No demented animals work there. Like most places in Europe there are are tables that smokers can sit at. If there’s anything you can’t cope with the staff will always go out of their way to make things right, steep hills, food…. You see the cleaners all day from 6.30am- 5pm. So always clean & tidy We all have choices. If you don’t like somewhere don’t bother to go back - simple! Find a 5* hotel, apartment or villa. The fact that there are many people who do return & many staff have been there 20-30 years & as happy as the day they started, speaks volumes!

Helios Bay is fantastic value for a 3 star hotel. Conveniently located between Paphos and Coral Bay. We arrived quite late in the evening and were greeted by a really helpful, friendly receptionist. He showed us to room 109 which I would highly recommend. It is on the ground floor, approx 10 steps from the pool and has a small terrace to sit outside with lovely views over tge gardens to the sea. The room itself consists of a small kitchenette, with most things you need for self-catering, a spacious living area with TV, a bedroom with comfortable double bed and access to the small terrace and a bathroom with fair sized shower and bath. Everything was spotless when we arrived. As other reviews indicate, this hotel is a truly relaxing experience. Lovely pool area with more than enough sun loungers for everyone. Nice pool bar with snacks available. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. One very minor complaint. Charging 8.5 Euros for the key to use the safe box is unnecessary. This is a bugbear of mine at any hotel. Safe boxes should be free to use in every hotel. However this will definitely not put me off staying at Helios Bay again. We will be back !

Overall it was a nice hotel with a good pool and the food was tasty. We were bed and breakfast and decided to eat in the main restaurant (katoi) for one of the nights. On the large restaurant booking screens we saw there was an a la carte menu with lots of reasonably priced meals (circa €15) so planned to have this. When we turned up they said there was only the buffet available (€33) which was quite expensive, but we couldn’t go anywhere else in the hotel as it all needed pre booking. The staff had never heard of this menu. When we checked in with our toddler we were hoping there would be a cot in the room already. There wasn’t so we called for one, which we were told would be right there. An hour later nothing had turned up, so we rang again and were told it would be there after we returned from dinner. When we got back there was a bed being set up which was totally unsuitable. We had to ring again by which time it was ages after her bedtime.

The overall impression is positive. Very convenient location, especially for those on the car: there is a parking, it is right on the big road. Inside there is a restaurant. We have a three-bedroom room paid for the ball, but no breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, as the cafe doesn't work, so we asked for a change instead of reimbursement. The room is clean, but furniture and repairs already require upgrades. The room has a stove, a teapot, a refrigerator, air conditioners working for heat. To the sea by car 5 minutes. The pool is clean but no one was swimming in it in the winter. On the other hand, several cafes and shops where you can buy food and cook in the room. Neighbours were a little noisy as they drank a lot and had fun, noise in rooms is bad. However, the rooms themselves are large enough . We had a combined room with a living room and one bedroom. Plus there was a beautiful balcony with a chic view.
