Reviews

On day two of my stay, I carefully arranged my belongings (including my camera and computer) on the bed, put up a “Do Not Disturb” sign, and verbally told the cleaners not to enter my room. When I returned later, the cleaner had entered my room anyway, moved everything on my bed — including my expensive equipment — and touched my personal items. It felt extremely intrusive, as if someone had been searching for valuables. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to enter, especially since towels and cleaning were only supposed to happen every five days.
I called the travel agency, and they said they’d speak with reception and make sure it didn’t happen again.
Less than six days later, I was sitting on my balcony (half dressed, with the “Do Not Disturb” sign clearly displayed) when a woman walked into my apartment unannounced and loudly announced she was there to clean. I have never encountered such disrespectful staff and management.
I called the travel agency again — they could not explain why it happened a second time. I was forced to pack up and move to a completely different room, as the cleaners clearly did not respect simple instructions.
The reception staff were rude, often blaming me as the guest for the issues they caused.
After moving to a new room, I received a message from the travel agency apologizing and offering a €50 voucher as compensation. I declined — this does nothing to restore my sense of safety or undo the stress this situation caused.
Do not come here! Don’t waste your hard‑earned money or vacation days on this place. I will not be returning, and I do not recommend anyone ever set foot here.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always with a smile and ready to assist with anything we needed.
The food was delicious – varied, fresh, and well-prepared, with plenty of options for both adults and children.
The location of the hotel is perfect, just a short walk to the beautiful beach and close to Ayia Napa town, but still quiet and relaxing.
We also really appreciated all the facilities available – pools, kids’ activities, the gym, and evening entertainment – everything was well organized and family-friendly.
I highly recommend this hotel and would love to return!
