Extremely enjoyable holiday Very friendly hotel where everyone is welcome from 18 to 91plus. With a great bar area to catch up with friends in the evening. Also close to town centre of Polis and very close to good supermarkets. I will be returning. Ed. more

Just returned from a couple of weeks at the Mariela. Bambos the owner was there to greet us at 5 o'clock in the morning with a drink and cheesecake, which was very welcome. We booked directly with the hotel on the internet and received replies to our queries within a couple of hours. Our studio was basic and very large... more

Just back from our third visit to the Mariela Hotel and as always found it to to be clean, quiet and comfortable. Sure it isn't the swishest hotel on the planet, but it is a family run business and everyone is really friendly and welcoming - it's sometimes quite difficult to pay for drinks at the bar!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week at the beginning of July 2008. The description of the apartments was "all apartments with a pool view". Well they don't.

The second asset was the genuine friendliness and hospitality of the owner. As has been... more

We were in Polis for a wedding so we only booked one night. We were actually staying in Paphos. We were pleasantly suprised with the room - it was nicer than the one in Paphos. It had everything we needed and was nice and clean. The manager was lovely, very helpful. A very pleasant stay. more

We booked into the Mariela for quite literally 24hrs having stayed at Aphrodite Hills for 10 days or so. Having refused to pay over £100 to retain our room for half a day we were just looking for something cheap and cheerful to while away a few hours. We definately got more than we had hoped for; from the exceptionally... more
