Hi, welcome to our stay at the Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos
as part of a winter break with Jet2Holidays
Why not subscribe to catch more from Cyprus and our other travels near and far
and in this video we're going to take a look around the pool area
step onto the bay, explore our room
the options for travelling further afield
look around the restaurants and dining options
and then one final view once the sun has set
So let's start by taking a few short steps from the hotel reception down towards The Grand Lobby
Passing a couple of lounge areas as you make your way down
And for transparency, we were being hosted by Jet2Holidays for this winter break
and the Olympic Lagoon Resort Pathos is an all-inclusive resort
so sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself
and now it's time to explore the pool area
there are five pools of to tempt you, including adults-only pool
the main lagoon pool with its whirlpools, jet massaging lounges, and waterfalls
you may also catch the Mayan Temple with its water slide
and then alongside that is The Terrace where you can sit back and enjoy that beautiful blue Cypriot sun
but we don't have time for that, so let's go a little wiggle on
and conscious we want to protect people's privacy
we take a proper look around the pool area a little later on
now we're going to head down towards the bay
but not before we just check in on the Seven Orchids pan Asian restaurant
which unfortunately is closed during the offseason
but it's still a beautiful part of the resort to visit
we now make our way to the edge of the resort
and this is the coastal path that will take you all the way into Old Paphos and Paphos Harbour
it's about a 20-minute slow amble to the harbour
but you could just enjoy this bay in the Mediterranean that's right on your very doorstep
and that my friends is the Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos
and now it's time to take a look at our room
which was comfortable and spacious and very, very, peaceful
we had plenty of room to plan our adventures for the day
and the bathroom was equipped as you would expect from a five-star hotel
once refreshed, we're ready to head out for the day
and the car park is included in the price
and we picked up Martine from Sixt via Rentalcars.com
and I'll be adding a road trip video a little later on so don't forget to subscribe
and driving in Cyprus has to be one of the easiest places I've found
but if you want to get a taxi into town then the hotel reception will happily organize that for you
and we've just passed the bus stop that will take you straight into town; life couldn't get any easier
and if you want to walk into town then the coastal path we showed you earlier will be your best option
and if you want to know more about exploring Paphos then I'll put the link to our video at the end so you can catch that too
and once the car is safely parked up, and the key is set aside, then it's time for that Aperol Spritz
and should the sun not shine on you onyour winter break
it's not too difficult to sit back and just unwind
This was shot in February and this was only one day in the seven of our trip
We could have headed to the indoor pool
but we decided to sit back enjoy a good book and just watch the weather float by
you're safe in the knowledge that the sun will return
Oh, and that's the Snackeria and now let's talk about food
here you can pick up snacks to eat in or take out
then you've got the Rock 'n' Roll diner, that 50s inspired Americana
the casual diner, offering an all-American menu
Anything on the menu that I liked and did I enjoy it?
what do you think?
Then you have the Royal Olympic Restaurant
This is the buffet area where you have your breakfast and the options seem almost endless
and Janis loves a nice omelette
and each evening there's a different themed menu plus you can pop in for lunch too
and then there's Garibaldi, a fine Italian restaurant. All in all, there's something for everyone
Now, as I promised, we take a little look around the pool area, now the sun has started to go down
Actually, let's take a little wander down to the bay and catch the sunset
and a few words on the Jet2Holidays experience, and our stay at the Olympic Lagoon Resort
Firstly the Jet2 and Jet2Holidays staff; friendly, helpful you couldn't want for more
From the moment we checked in, to the moment we stepped off the plane, I can't recommend this service enough
and now the Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos
let's just take a look, shall we? What's not to love about this?
but once again what makes it special was the service, the attention to detail, the friendliness, the helpfulness
and to come back at the end of the day to sit down and relax in this environment
enjoy a cold beer, a glass of wine, or maybe a glass of prosecco
actually, I'm on holiday, make it a frozen daiquiri
remember it's all-inclusive
and now let's deal with a couple of apprehensions we may have had about an all-inclusive package holiday
the buffet restaurant, how long could I have been
fabulous food, breakfast, for lunch, and a rotating evening menu with a different cuisine every night
would there be enough for us to do?
Remember to subscribe to see more
and what about the other guests? well it's a high to Mick 'the kick' and Collette and Steve and Jackie
all in all, we had a wonderful time with our seven nights with Jet2Holidays
so I guess it's now time for us to retire to the You & Me bar and would I recommend a package holiday with Jet2Holidays
of course I would!
Thanks so much for watching, take care, stay safe, and happy travels
