Hotels in Paphos

I've never been to Cyprus and am undecided as to which town or part of the Island to stay at. We are thinking of Paphos but I guess I'm not sure how commercial it is there. I love enough life in the town to be atmospheric but not noisy and full of yobs.

Would you mind advising if you feel Paphos would offer me and my partner the following:

We love walking, seeing the culture but enjoy creature comforts of nice hotels, particulaly for use of indoor pool and airconditioning and smart/quality interior. We are thinking of staying B&B at the Athena Royal Beach hotel in Paphos and wondered if you would comment on Paphos in general. Ideally we'd like to stay near a harbour area as this offers most types of good value restaurants. My next priority is to be close to beautiful walking areas as my partner are both keen walkers. I also love biking. We are hoping to come to Paphos mid May and wondered if you had any other recommendations on towns/hotels.

Would really appreciate your comments.
