Hotels in Paphos

Excellent stay. Quality hotel. Double pool, beautiful sea view from the room. Evening entertainment until 11:00 PM. We ate almost all dinners at the hotel, enjoying the themed evenings, ranging from Greek to Mexican to Asian cuisine...unfortunately, we missed the Italian evening. Special mention goes to the always efficient and courteous staff. I'd like to thank Mrs. Maegee and Mr. Antonio in the restaurant...

Amazing location. It has both an outdoor and indoor pool. The gym is sort of small for the size of the hotel but enough equipment for a decent workout. The bar prices are quite good actually, cheaper than most beach bars outside the hotel. There's easy and direct access (walking distance) to a small cove where you can swim and snorkel The views from the rooms with sea view are just amazing

This hotel has friendly, helpful and efficient staff. The food is excellent - fresh, tasty & varied. It is clean & comfy with good access to its own sea cove.

Really enjoyed our stay at your hotel, the cleanliness was outstanding, the views from balcony were stunning and breakfast was impressive. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family and we’ll be definitely returning in the near future.

Couldn't fault the attention to cleaning the hotel. Rooms are a good standard with huge bed. B&B stay so can't comment on the all inclusive food. You can upgrade to AI at the hotel but I recommend you go out. Breakfast was the usual choices. Hotel sits in a nice cove with access to the sea. Big swimming pool and lots of loungers. Drinks costs are good value. Wine not the best but to be fair wine tastes...

Great location top hospitality panoramic view

We stayed in this hotel as a family with two older teenage girls. 2 bedroom apartment had plenty of space for us and well equipped kitchen area. The location is superb. 2 minutes to the harbour restaurant's bars etc.  Is perfect for self-catering as there is a really big supermarket 30 seconds walk away.  The staff are really friendly and the pool is great. It's very relaxed and you can eat at...

Great hotel with amazing location, right in the heart of harbour district. The hotel room has everything needed, and while perhaps not luxurious it delivered all it promised + incredible beds. The staff did everything to make sure our stay is exceptional, gave us great advice regarding places to visit and eat and is available 24/7 to make sure you don't need anything. Will return for sure, as for this...

We stayed here while we were running the Cyprus marathon. The hotel is well placed with a short walk to the harbour where the finish line and expo is plus the bus station to the start line. The hotel is lovely. We were in a harbour suite apartment with a sea view balcony. There are numerous restaurants nearby serving good value meals and a well stocked supermarket is opposite the hotel. Basilica holiday...

What a find 3 star with 4 star value nice Staff gre At service.

Great location, and friendly staff. The hotel was very clean. I was not all inclusive so i cannot comment on that the outdoor pool looked inviting but was too cold at that time off the year. A big thankyou to Christella for all her help on my first trip to Cyprus.

We're 2 oldies who stayed in an appartment in the Harbour Suite because of the lift. The complex comprises several low rise buildings around a good size pool area. The location was wonderful, an easy walk to the seafront, opposite a very good supermarket and next to the Basilica archaeological site. There were buses nearby as well as plenty of places to eat. The appartment was clean and the kitchenette...

I think this hotel keeps going because it appeals to the kosher family with large suites and facilities for the religious traveler but it needs an urgent major facelift. This was our 3rd visit to this hotel - the last was 5 years ago and honestly it has had absolutely nothing done to it since then. It's time for a serious facelift and not just the painting. The beds are rock solid (we asked for...

After a weeklong family holiday at the Blue Lagoon Kosher Hotel in Paphos, Cyprus, we can confidently say it exceeded expectations despite some minor frustrations. If you are seeking a Kosher, family friendly destination with plenty to offer both adults and children, it is an excellent choice. What Stands Out Exceptional Food Quality Meals at Blue Lagoon were consistently fresh, varied, and satisfying...

Great Kosher option Kosher restaurant within the Hotel provides an easy way to feed a Halakhic stomach, also Beit Knesset allows to pray and appointed Rav is always of service to the community, looking forward to produce Minian by Shacharit. Pools are clean, suites are spacious and fully furnished. Beach front. Several Elevators.

Love Cyprus Everything is good.friendly staff, the food was delicious, the view was amazing when you are having breakfast.

The location is excellent. Close to the attractions. Breakfast is excellent. With vast variety of food selection every morning. There are multiple pools. Outdoor pool for adult and kids. And and indoor pool. It also have a gym. The room we stay in is salacious. We are family of 4. We requested a room with a seaside view and that is what we got. Enjoying the view of the sea every morning and seeing...

We came in December, during the off-season. The hotel was very inexpensive (315 Euro for 3 nights) and not crowded. Our room was huge - a full kitchen with appliances and a washing machine, dining table, couch (not a comfortable one), amazing balcony, a nice bedroom and two full bathrooms. The kosher food was delicious and plentiful. We got fresh omelets in the morning from Chef Yaakov and made sandwiches...

Before i wrote this review i had a look at others and was amazed with the one that slated the hotel. I review things honestly and this hotel was amazing, Ps this is going to be long. We stayed in apartments 5 and yes they could do with a bit of an upgrade, which we were told is happening late December but even so they were clean and spacious the cleaner was brilliant she couldn't do enough if you...

I had a great time for my stay at this hotel. The location was great but wasn’t within walking distance of the beach but I knew this better booking. The atmosphere was great which was helped by the very pleasant staging team making it feel welcome and appreciated. The events team were very entertaining with their activities and evening events such as bingo karaoke and Greek dancing and fire breathing...

Went for a Cheeky 6 day break, and once again it did not disappoint. From the cleaners, to the bar staff, to the hierarchy that set a work ethic, and friendliness- That generates a unique vibe of relaxation and welcomeness. The new addition of the all day snack bar, is a complete changer, and sets this hotel aside from the rest. I would like to give special mention Jan in the office, always there to...

We recently stayed at the Mayfair Hotel in Paphos as a family of four two adults, one teenager, and an 8-year-old and had a truly wonderful experience. It was our first time travelling at this time of year, and we were pleasantly surprised by how relaxed and enjoyable everything was. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The hotel itself is faultlessly clean, and the staff...

Over for a Halloween getaway while kids are off school. Hotel and staff have been brilliant. The food is first class, normally on all inclusive packages you tend to find something you like and stick with it. Everynight has been different and always enjoyable. Hotel is a short 20-30 min drive from airport which is great after a 5hr+ flight. We didn't arrive until after 10pm, when we arrive we were...

Wonderful hotel friendly stay with great entertainment especially the water polo and volleyball with Ollie and food was really good for an all inclusive hotel would definitely recommend

Clean rooms, friendly service, delicious breakfasts. Beautiful location, rooms with sea views. Highly recommended!

Very pleasant and quiet hotel Small, somewhat stingy issues 1) Bath towels were given sparingly 2) It's advertised as a kosher hotel. NOTE: Only breakfast is kosher 3) It's not very close to the city center (port)

peaceful and clean hotel Lovely hotel, thats super clean, quiet, and relaxing. staff are very nice and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a beautiful villa! The beds weren't as comfortable as they could be but as mentioned, very clean so that's important for me! food was decent, nothing special but you are also close to lots of things to do/eat and 15 min walk to the main area of the beach front...

Service was excellent. Pool and lawn area were lovely. Balcony overlooking pool, lawn, sea was beautiful. Food was plentiful.

Excellent hotel. Very good service The kosher food is excellent The rooms are comfortable and large. And the view is mind-blowing

We arrived as 4 friends for 4 nights at the hotel. The staff was so kind and pleasant and welcomed us warmly. The dairy breakfasts and the meaty dinners (with fish too) were full of plenty. George the charming and kind-hearted chef and his service team in combination with the tastefully decorated kosher dining room - gave a fun and pleasant experience. We took a suite for 4 and enjoyed it very much...

We have enjoyed an amazing stay at The Palmiers, without a doubt the best place we’ve stayed in Paphos and we will definitely be returning. The apartments are in a fantastic location, the staff are so friendly and helpful and everywhere is sparkling and clean. Great bed and shower, plenty of space and they have thought of everything you could possibly need including a very well equipped kitchen. Unfortunately...

I cannot give a better review! The place is spotless, modern, and so amazing— everything feels fresh, bright, and comfortable. The location is perfect: a few minutes from the beach, shops, and kosher restaurants, but still quiet enough to relax. The staff were so warm and helpful, always available and so accommodating even helping us plan our trips. Check‑in was smooth, the apartment was exactly as...

We had a fantastic stay at Palmiers in Paphos. The apartment was spotless, beautifully presented and very comfortable. The welcome touches were lovely - the fridge was stocked with drinks and there were thoughtful goodies on arrival. The dressing gowns and slippers added an extra level of comfort. The location was also ideal, close to attractions and amenities, making everything very convenient...

The room was really nice, perfect for a family of four, great, and very close to the beach.

Superb five star apartment with generous spaces and well designed interior. The receptionist gave us a speedy check in bringing our luggage upstairs to the apartment and showed how everything works. There wasn't anything more we could have wished for. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay. Super furnished apartments. Impeccable cleanliness. Responsive staff. Best location. TV channels in all languages.

My second stay at Axiothea Hotel. I went back because I love the friendly atmosphere, it’s a family-run hotel. Everywhere is sparkling clean and the views across the sea are fantastic. Everyone there is happy to help you.

Hotel is near the central square area not the seafront but still convenient if you have a car. For a few euros extra its worth booking a room with balcony with seaview. Lovely traditional stone floor lobby with lounge overlooking the bay.

highly recommend this hotel. Their customer service is second to none. The product quality is consistently outstanding, exceeding my expectations every time. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. There is a private but limited parking free of charge and a rich breakfast with a superb view

Clean, friendly hotel I enjoyed staying at this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. I had my laundry done and they did an excellent job and it was finished very quickly. They do provide filtered water, as the sink water is not for drinking. This hotel is close to the old city, but not to beaches and the archaeological park.

Overall a nice little hotel We had a good stay. The room was spoilt by a step up to the bathroom which we kept stubbing our toes on. The bed was acceptable but we would not want to spend more than a night on it. The breakfast was very good indeed. We paid extra for a sea and city view which was well worth it.

The room was clean and well equipped, including a fridge. Our room had a beautiful ocean view. The AC in our room worked beautifully. Common areas do not have AC, but there was no need, bc the windows were wide open and the breeze was wonderful. Staff was very nice and we were given bottles of water when we checked in. There are a few steps down to get to the hotel, (which has been renovated.). Will...

I really like this traditional hotel with a beautiful taverna and garden. I will recommend this place. The breakfast was perfect, and I will try to get back in the future, with my family and/friends for holidays. The room was nice too. Thank you very much :)

Charming is the quintessential word for this place! The experience of staying was personable, charmed and quaint. If you think of staying in a city hotel in southern Europe, this is exactly what to picture. A family owned place through 4 generations, it is very clear from the moment you enter that this is a place that has hosted many travellers. Though the rooms were a little creaky, and wonky, and...

Middle of paphos which was actually really nice. Around the corner from the train station. Had a glass of wine with George. He makes great pastries with the breakfast. Everything traditional. Glad I got to stay here.

I had my wedding reception here 20 years ago. Wonderful memories and fantastic photos in beautiful authentic setting. I've since come back twice to visit. Each time had a very warm welcome from owner George. Looking forward to visit in the future.

We didn't stay at hotel, just went to the interior garden restaurant. It was one of the best food in the whole Cyprus. We recommend their "specialities": really good!!!

The hotel has a small courtyard that doubles as a restaurant. It is decorated with characteristics, but the rooms are poor. There is no air conditioning. There is only a fan. If there are no leftover food from the restaurant the day before, breakfast will only be bread, jam, and milk.

Good sized, clean rooms in a great location. The staff were friendly and helpful. Kettles etc were offered on arrival, if needed.

clean, nice staff - breakfast could use some more imagination

very close to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the harbour. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything I needed for a short stay. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. It's a good value for the price, and I’d happily stay here again!

Location is great (archeological sites, beaches and restaurants are all in 5-10 min walks) Staff is very friendly and helpful Hotel is clean and simple, rooms are air conditioned Breakfast is modest but sufficient for a small morning snack Considering the price, it’s a great value for money

I booked for one and bathroom was small with shower curtain and bed was double I think but very comfortable.

We’ve just enjoyed another wonderful stay here! The location is perfect, right in the heart of everything, and the rooms are super comfortable. The staff are incredibly friendly and always go out of their way to help. Can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you Anniko and Anna!

Absolutely fantastic stay villa was brilliant and hosts could not of been any more helpful we will definitely be returning in the future

Beautiful villa well presented with a pool set in lovely garden area. We had a couple of nights in the villa and enjoyed a lovely meal and netflix movies relaxing in the modern lounge area. Everything we needed was supplied by our kind hosts who went over and beyond to ensure our stay was as perfect as it could be. Welcome pack was provided ,also a yummy orange cake from Anastasia. We used taxis and...

We had an amazing time. Anastasia & Constantine, the owners, are the Best. The villa is so great. Nice kitchen with everything you need. Living room and tables outside. 3 master bedrooms. All clean and beautiful. The pool is great. BBQ outside. And the most important, the owners Anastasia & Constantine are kind, friendly, and very attentive. When we arrived, a basket of pastries, snacks, and fruits...

So it was an amazing vacation. Our hosts were Mr Constantinos and Anastasia. The villa was very spacious and well equipped. We had a lovely pool and nice patio area. The hosts were very attentive, we were given a full operational tour of the villa. During the stay they and their lovely staff couldn’t do enough to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Little gifts and treats for the kids made this...

Constantinos and Anastasia are the perfect hosts and dedicated to ensuring guests have a fabulous time in their villas. Excellent welcome pack, personal service and friendly experience. Villas clean and well equipped and private pool cleaned regularly. Have stayed with them multiple times when coming to Cyprus and never disappointed.

Amazing hospitality and service! We were made to feel very welcome and we were so grateful to the little treats throughout our stay. Fantastic communication and lots of helpful hints given to our throughout our stay. Nothing was too much bother and they did their best to ensure we had a an enjoyable experience.

We only stayed one night but it was more than enough. Perfect for people who want to stay a few days. Kitchen, with gas burner stove, utensils, dishes and washing machine. Check in was easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Words cannot express what a beautiful place this is, immaculate apartment beautiful surroundings, close to grocery, quiet safe beautiful area. Management and staff are lovely nothing is too much, worth penny will be returning next year. Highly highly recommend.

Nice and clean place to stay at really nice price. This is a comfortable apartment with a good equipped kitchen, washing machine. The facility was rather new and not worn out. It has also a convenient private parking lot just a few meters from the entrance to the apartment.

My husband and I stayed at Zoe's Court for 6 nights: very relaxing place, quiet, safe and clean. Staff was polite and they also offered us coffee and fresh fruit. They also allowed us to use their pc and helped with some problems that we had with the car rental company. The owner, Mr George, was nice and friendly, suggested us many places to visit and restaurants. I absolutely suggest you to stay at...

Fully furnished Studio and 1 brd. apartments. The apartments are all updated, clean, with new appliances and furnishings. My studio even had a brand new blow dryer and iron. Washer, large flat screen and wifi throughout the property with a nicely stocked kitchen. Really everything you need.. George and Maria, the owners are lovely people and were helpful with getting around Paphos and even giving...

I am 7 years old and just stayed here, the music at the pool made me feel happy and giddy. The hotel is extremely nice, I love the balcony and watching the pool, the food is delicious, I like the fish fingers most. The workers are very helpful and the hotel is very beautiful. You should definitely stay here.

Beautiful 2 storey resort arranged around a central pool area. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, always someone on reception to answer questions. Plenty of sun beds around the pool and the grassy areas. There is a small beach (quite stony) but it is a short bus ride to larger beaches. The food was of a good standard and the dining area is spacious but a little sterile. Rooms are basic but...

I have a nice 5 stay with my friends. rooms was clean food was delicious and variety. staff are nice but the special mention for Erika who always work so hard around the pool involve everyone for each activity. She is the diamond of the hotel she made our stay fun and memorable. And then Denisa she is the boss of the animation and she made a good chat with us evening time as well. Good dj ahhahaha...

Exellent hotel had a lot of improvements and it really is 4 star now travelled on my own and felt very safe

Amazing hotel! Staff are superb especially Patricia on reception, Soula in the snack bar and Wanda at the pool bar - all beautiful ladies who are so friendly and welcoming! The rooms are fantastic (real hotel quality and modern design) and cleaned daily which was a bonus! The food is outstanding- all so tasty and thoughtfully planned - literally not a bad dish! And no horrible queues , all very civilised...

The facilities are very clean and the massage was amazing. The prices are really good and everybody is very helpful and friendly.

very nice resort, we were surprised by an additional fee of 60 euros for cleaning or bills, although maybe I did not read when ordering, review very helpful, very clean everywhere, quiet, quiet place, beautiful areas around

Have been visitng this site since 2004 when it was built, but sorry this site is now closed as the owners have gone into liquidation. Will miss going in the future. All timeshare owners have been told that the owners have been in trouble since 2012, although the timeshare holders have only just been told. Such a shame for all who have been part of this.

Just returned from a lovely week here. We had a ground floor apartment without much of a view but it had a large terrace and the apartment itself was very spacious and clean (cleaners visit every day). The apartment has everything you’d need for cooking, the fridge and oven were both better than what I have at home. The decor is quite dated though, they could quite easily modernise it with some more...

I love this place! Perfect views from the balcony. There is 2 outdoor pools with a kids pool. Indoor pool with Jacuzzi and hot tub. Also sauna, steam room and gym. There is also a spa with impressive list of treatments available Large rooms and all amenities available. Oven, hob, microwave, dish washer, fridge freezer, kettle, safe, iron & ironing board and much more. Complimentary cleaning products...

So many tombs & columns quite amazing. You can walk around freely. Must visit

Great accommodation and lots of facilities: gym, sauna, steam room, pools etc.. Quaint little bar and nice restaurant ?

Room 358 and 244. We have had a fantastic week. Apparts clean and very roomy, maids very friendly and good at there job. Reception Staff most helpful and friendly . Food varied and fresh. Pool excellent. We will come back. Excellent value for money.

Needs renovations urgently!!! The location is perfect but the building needs major renovation.

Breakfast - nothing really nice, typical british poor breakfast , coffe -most poor taste of chemical coffee from powder , room - no hot water - lookwarm only . But for this price Everythink else was good .

I'm here at panareti paohos resort, its our last day of a weeks stay after reading lots of reviews we were very worried..! Was even thinking of booking into another hotel once we got here if it was so terrible..! But gladly this was not the case as id taken into account what we paid, the hotel is very clean and has a traditional feel to it, the staff are lovely people and you couldn't want for a better...

Booked two rooms,with a request for adjoining, ground floor and they full filled it. Both were clean and tidy. Every thing was there and working for a self catering holiday with no issues. The rooms are spacious but dated. Bathrooms are practical but small. Staff friendly and help full. Despite some of the horror stories i have read on various sites, we had no issues and enjoyed our stay.

All good and was given a free room upgrade on checking in !. Rooms cleaned every day. Plenty of space etc Good location,friendly staff. Easy coast walk to Paphos or by road. Excellent bus service right outside hotel. Last bus 1.15 am! Would go back here for the same money anytime.

Had to change last minute and had to stay here. But it was worth it, well looked after by all staff and great facilities on site. Receptionists were really helpful in guiding us to the best places to go in town. Nice breakfast and dinner as well.

This beautiful little hotel is situated in the centre of Munich close to train station rental cars, beautiful little bakeries. It is super super clean very beautifully appointed and the service was amazing if in Munich, I would only stay here.

I stayed there 4 nights .Location was great ,bus station just a few minutes walk , plenty of bars and restaurants near by. The staff were very friendly ,the room was cleaned every day with fresh towels. The breakfast was OK could have done with more cold meats and less pastries., the pool was clean. The hotel could be updated but overall we had a fabulous time.

We just needed somewhere for two nights before heading up into the hills for a wedding, it was just perfect. Large rooms, slightly small but functional shower room, nice pool area and excellent breakfast buffet. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

i don’t even know where to begin my review! before we arrived, i had seen lots of reviews saying similar things - the staff were amazing and the rooms needed some renovation. there could be renovations but i honestly don’t think it’s necessary! for the price you pay, what you receive is amazing. the rooms and bathrooms are fully functioning and cleaned daily to a really high standard, the cleaner even...

GO ! The greatest service ever ! We called last minute in the middle of the night to have a room. They immediately gave us a room and they were very welcoming. The breakfast is included and the manager is the most lovely and kind manager I ever saw ! She spoke so many languages and French which was very sweet. She propose us customize breakfast. When I ask her at what time the checkout was, she ask...

The staff are super friendly and are always smiling and helpful. There's no complaints.

I like the feeling of this hotel. The food is good. Rooms clean and reasonably spacious. It's a shame that they are knocking it down at the end of the year for a brand new one. The area is great.

Warm welcome on arrival. Staff very friendly, food very good, rooms comfortable. Entertainment most evenings. All in all a most enjoyable holiday.

This is a good hotel great helpful staff its location is good 10 ish min walk to Paphos was facing the sea, still is but a large hotel has been built right in front of the Aloe across the road. Bus into Paphos costs €1. Hotel is clean and the staff work no stop keeping it clean, however it is very tired and in need of refreshing with at the very least a coat of paint. The pool area is very good and...

We are supposed to be at the Annabelle but currently in Aloe . Nice hotel just a shame about the view from our balcony.

It was a very nice hotel with friendly staff. The range of meals was not great and the wine they served up was not good and quite dear. Overall despite the lack of entertainment in the evening at the hotel or nearby venues it was a pleasant stay.

Amazing place, very close to the shops and the sea with stunning views. And Mr. Leonidas a very friendly person. Definitely recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay! The location is great, not far from the beach and the host was fabulous. Apartment was clean and everything in order.

What a great host! Fab basic apt well serviced with all you need. Amazing comfortable bed and lovely view

It is certainly not a luxury apartment and a little bit far from the centre, but great value for money and the host is such a lovely and kind person. And also the apartment is spacious, has everything you need, the bed is comfortable altough some of the fascilities are heavily worn (rusty table, dirty shower curtain). The neighborhood is a little bit noisy but with closed windows it is bearable. To...

Great place to stay. Tottaly clean and tidy, equipped with everything you need to have to satisfy your needs during your vacation. At this point, need to mention the amazing hospitality by Mr Kyriacos as he is very kind and will help you with everything you need. No need to look further if you looking to combine great prices, hospitality, clean apartments, nice location 6 min away from city center...

We stayed there for two nights. The apartment is big and comfortable. Offers a decent view of the sea. We loved the balcony. The owner is really nice and friendly. 10 mins to the city center. There are many restaurants and lidil, gas station very close to the apartment. Tomb of kings, Beachs are 5 mins drive from apartment.

Returned 15 Sept 2022. The room was fantastic as was the view. Food is a mater of choice in any hotel, you either like it or you don't. Remember you are on holiday, not at home and cooking "at home food". All Departments What were the best parts of our visit to the Royal Blue Hotel? All the staff were kind - Showed attention to you - Made you feel special - They have a sense of humour - you could...

Very quiet and peaceful which is just how I like my holiday- room was big and clean, walked straight out into a great pool area. Very friendly staff and great views. We live in cyprus so have our own car so ideal for us, but would imagine it could be a difficult week with no vehicle. Didn't eat at the restaurant so can't comment but had a few drinks- nice setting although drinks maybe slightly on the...

cozy hotel with spacious apartments. the room I got was huge, with the terrace and exit by the pools which was a great convenience. the location in the mountains gives climatic views from the whole hotel. minuses? if you don’t have car the road there and trips to the city / beaches can be difficult for you.

The main selling point for this place is its setting high up in the hills, offering panoramic views of Paphos. There is also a nice outdoor pool area with two pools. It's therefore a great place if you are wanting to relax, enjoy the views and spend time in/by the pool. Other than that, there isn't anything else here, so it's only really somewhere to book for a few days to unwind. The spa/gym is not...

Nice hotel with beautiful views. Don't expect new towels everyday in your rooms. And they don't do a full clean everyday But for what we paid happy with our stay. Staff very friendly. Food choice healthy but a bit to much the same each day. A car is needed as up a hill and I personally did not see any public transport.

Hotel is in a perfect location for views throughout the year, no matter the weather. Shops are only a 20 min walk if absolutely necessary, which I do not believe is, as the hotel’s panoramic restaurant has everything needed. The pools are fantastic, including the heated indoor pool and the hot tub. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful in telling you about the area, with service being...
