Lefki Tree Tourist Apartments – Paphos – Cyprus

Having read some of the neqative reviews about Lefki Tree aprtments before setting off we wondered what we might be letting ourselves in for. We need not have worried. Our apartment (N0.6) was clean & a delightful cleaner came most days. The beds were comfortable & all facilities were in good working order. Fresh sheets & towels were provided without question & we had a great time.

Mind you, we only used the apartment for sleeping in & breakfasting. All other times we were up, showered & out all day, returning around 6pm to shower again, have a drink or two on the balcony & then go out down town. And although we were on a main road there was no objectionable noise apart from regular traffic & certainly none of the anticipated quad bike racing till early in the morning.

Now then, granted the Lefki Tree is classed as “Tourist” accomodation we are puzzled about the negative comments. If people go looking for great hotel service they will not find it at the Lefki Tree. If people go looking for the latest range of cooking utensils, they cannot be found at the Lefki Tree. The Lefki Tree is precisely what is states…ie “Tourist Apartments”. More than adequate for sleeping, relaxing, showering & changing. Granted, anyone wishing to cook their own meals might find it a bit awkward but, hey, why cook on holiday? On our first night we spent a horrifying 75 euros on a three course meal with wine & other drinks. After that, with a bit of browsing around, we found some great places to eat & never paid more than 30 – 35 euros for the rest of our fortnight.

We give the Lefki Tree 9/10. Why only 9? The shower head was in need of some descaling & being unable to drink & eat around the pool was a tad restrictive.

Would we return? You betcha. For a 55 year old (me) & my 44 year old wife, the accomodation & location was more than perfect.
