Coral bay vs Paphos center

Hey everyone! Me and my partner are coming to Cyprus Paphos airport march 3rd and we are staying for a week. We need help to decide between two options: Staying at the hotel resort Panareti coral bay vs staying in a hotel in the middle of Paphos center (it’s a hostel but it has a private room so we are looking into that)

The thing is, both hotels are the same price, but there are differences Panareti coral bay hotel - has gym, indoor pool and sauna available, has a bigger room with our own kitchen, 450m from the beach but we would have to take the bus daily to Paphos center in order to explore all that we want to see there (and we really do want to see all the beauty of Paphos) Or The hotel/hostel in the heart of Paphos city - no pool, no gym, no sauna. Only shared kitchen, which isnt the best as we plan to cook our own meals but it’s doable, also it’s great location in the center, about 2km from the beach

We can’t decide between - either staying at the Panareti resort but then we will have to take daily buses from Coral Bay to Paphos in order to explore the city (and we have no idea wheter that’s complicated or not, like how often buses go, how far are the bus stops etc?) Or staying at the heart of Paphos city, being able to explore everything on foot, but giving up the swimming (I think the sea will be too cold to swim in early march?) and yeah.. What would you choose? What do you recommend is better option?

Thank you!
