Louis Althea Beach Hotel in Protaras

We had 9 nights here in October 25, read the reviews and was confident we had chosen the right hotel for us. Firstly the staff, all brilliant and helpful and cheerful and the patience of saints and deserve a medal. This review does not reflect the staff in any way. The hotel was full of foreign families with young children. (which I don't have an issue with) The children were feral !! and the parents no better, rude, obnoxious and unpleasant and zero manners to the staff. Children running riot through the restaurant at all times. The poor staff looked weary of it all. Hotel itself is in need of a major makeover. Main building and pool area ok but rooms dated. Clean though and housekeeping on the ball all the time. Sounds like I am complaining but I just think the tour operators should make it clear this is not for couples without children under 13. Food was average and some nights below average, my husband lived on the soup for most of the holiday, the lunch food was much better than dinner service. The entertainment was very much geared towards the young children. There was a couple of nights with good entertainment but mostly we took ourselves off site. Stayed at the Louis hotel in Paphos the previous year and it was WAY nicer than here, food better, entertainment, decor, guests etc.
