Yes..... we've been several times and love it Hoochie Which part are you going to? There are loads of places to see all over the island

 baz ......Our hotel is in/near Limassol .  

My son(one of the fussiest folk on this planet) has been to Cyprus a few times and he loved it,that he choose to return there  is a top rate recommendation 

Nope, never been ... but a woman who I used to work with went once and loved it so much that they bought a villa and retired there

Have a great time 

ooooo we stayed at one there..... a  Thompson Gold... adults only hotel.... it was great

 ooooh that's good!  I've been known to be a little fussy myself 

   Thanks for that Rexi!  My hopes are increasing with the responses to this thread 

Hoochie, trip adviser is normally your friend

It depends when you are going winter or summer ?I went in Summer and I loved it.

This one is a Thomson Couples .....no kids!  Atlantica Bay

Where would you recommend for a day out?

Tripadvisor sent us to that Indian restaurant! 

......mind you there is David's - so it's a 50/50

I want to go on holiday now

Mind you - I did pay for my flight tonight - I'm off to Lanzorote in July with two girlfriends

YAYYYYYY.... that's where we went..... it was lovely Hoochie We had one of our best holidays there..... we went there in January

 i'm going in 2 weeks .....it's quite exciting with no proper time to plan! 

 Any spare tickets?

Are you hiring a car? if so then you can get almost anywhere on the island..... but Paphos is nice for the ruins etc and lovely harbour/beach...... or you can go into the mountains......or Nicosia.......   

The restaurant was fine...it was the owner sitting on our laps I wasn't keen on   David's makes up for it 

I think Mr Hoochie will like some of the places to visit 

I am soooo jealous - just to get out of this cold and rain and fog would be great ... anything else is a bonus

I always found those type of hols were the best.

yes we plan to hire a car - methinks Paphos will be on hubby's list then - he does love a good ruin ...... and yes I do know I'm setting myself up here! 

I was watching King of Queens Saturday night and had a real strong urge to be there,was so close to just going on-line and booking a ticket to JFK,not a sun holiday at this time of year but I love New York..

If it's ancient and ruined  he'll be there........ I may, or may not

I've never been Lee, but it's on my to-do list

*sits on hands*  Driving is really easy there  Hoochie.... cos it's the same side of the road..... plus the coast road.... east to west is very good.......

TBH rexi that was the thinking behind booking this holiday .... we just wanted a break that wasn't going to cost too much.  I have to admit that I'm getting quite excited about Cyprus now with all of the positive responses on here

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time 

*see how I skipped the first ruin comment* 

 ....are you ill or do you want something?

it's my 50th this year - and it's on my list 

 It was hard to hold back, I'm saving it all up for Wednesday.... 

We did  Cyprus last year for my 40th.  Hotel and everything was lovely (NO KIDS ALLOWED).  We did a couple of trips, one being 'simply Cyprus', under no circumstances do that trip, it's hours and hours and hours on a bus.  

But if you get offered the adults only (and it'snot sexy) Katamaran trip from Paphos it's well worth the money.  We had a great day.

 Thanks for the tip Cinds - the boat trip sounds like the sort of thing I'd really enjoy! 

Went on  the link given and Kolossi Castle looks like a contender

Sorry Hoochie, I've only ever been to Crete.

Have a good one you lucky sod

Hoochie and Rexi you MUST go to NYC,it's a once there you have to return place.I love the atmosphere,love the sights but ADORE the shopping.Go prepared though,take nothing but the bare essentials leave plenty of case  space and the opportunity to buy clothes to wear there.*Has a yearning for a Cinnabon*

We went some years ago on a late deal (allocation on arrival) wouldnt do that again - the hotel wasn't up to much but the resort itself was lovely (Paphos) I'd go again without a doubt but would look for a better hotel. Lovely people, lovely restaurants and great beaches.

Have a lovely holiday!

Hooch we stayed at the Atlantica Bay hotel in Paphos, also thomsons, it was fab.

I love Cyprus. My late husband and I went 3 times and we used to stay at the Penera Beach hotel,Protaras. We traveled all over the Island by car,but usually made sure we were back at base by the evening as the roads weren't up to scratch. Hopefully they are better now.

We went on a mini cruise to Israel and Egypt, that was fantastic, but, I don't know if that is feasible now what with all the bother in that part of the world. 

You will love it Hoochie, Cyprus has something for everyone. Have a really good time, can't wait for you to come back and tell us about your adventures.

The divided city of Nicosia is interesting and well worth a visit, in my opinion.  While we were there they had just opened up the border and we we able to cross from the Greek side to the Turkish side, passing through the UN patrolled 'no-man's land' (which is quite strange in itself as it has remained untouched since the war in the 1970s (?) and you can still see the boarded up hotels etc with the sandbags and bullet holes.  We went two or three years back so things may have changed since then.
