Mediterranean Beach Hotel in Limassol

Most of the aspects of this hotel are 4 star and very good. The best being the rooms and turn down services in the evening being a nice touch. Rooms are clean, well equipped and modern too. Our stay we were half-board and the food options were quite repetitive, breakfast was the same bar a few items for the duration of our 11 day stay and actually quite limited. The same for dinner options. This may be a seasonal issue (November) but there also was a lack of fruit available. The bar during the day at the pool was good offering food and drinks with reasonable prices. The location isn’t great quite far from the centre of old Limassol but taxis are about €15-20 euros each way. Local buses also are available, and plenty of car hire places are nearby, the hotel uses Sixt as a provider. The pool area is nice with plenty seating and access to a private beach.

However I would advise people who are cat lovers or cat owners not to stay at this hotel. While there are stray cats around the pool area the staff do not care for them at all despite signs saying they are fed and looked after, this is a lie. Our holiday was somewhat marred by the likely death of a very ill cat that lived in the hotel grounds. Obviously this happens to wild strays but it was the hotel staffs handling of it that shocked our family. We were told it was taken to a vet nearby but when pressed each day they could not provide an update on where this cat had actually been taken. Although it was taken inside a services area of the hotel where guests aren’t allowed access. Staff were rude or dismissive when asked about the cats. It’s to our knowledge that Cyprus have tokens and vouchers that hotels use to neuter and look after the cats. With the prices paid by guests you’d think a small amount of this could simply be used to feed or neuter the cats which is cheap in Cyprus with charity help. With this I would suggest cat lovers look elsewhere to stay in Limassol.

To sum up the hotel isn’t in a great location but the rooms in the Mediterranean hotel are excellent. Food wasn’t as good as expected but may have been seasonal, quite repetitive too with limited options. Beach and pool area very good. However if you are a cat tourist or like cats I would stay elsewhere due to their treatment of the animals.
