I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.
I have holidayed all over the world. The hotel has a four star rating which is overated { more like a two star }. Me and my family booked a family room- on arrival we were given a room which they concider a famiy room which is smaller than a standard uk garage. The room had sick on the floor which some-one had tried to clean and the smell was discusting.
We approched reception only to be told they had cleaned it and they were unable to exchange rooms as the hotel was full.
We payed for three adults and one child, the room contained two single beds and two camp beds lined down the room, it was impossible to fit 2 people in the bathroom at any one time.
The balcony's are dangerous for children and our views were onto the kitchen dustbins.
The rooms have mucky old carpets and all the fixtures are falling apart.
To eat drink at this hotel is very expensive and the hotel will try to relieve you of your euro's at any opportunity they can.
You are unable to eat produce at the pool or in your room purchased from outside,this is inplimented buy the security who on occasions patrols.
After three days and the ear infections from the pools had subsided we had our room exchanged to the ground floor.
The room had a double bed and was a foot ether side bigger,- unfortunetly it was occupied with ants. We had a two foot drop from patio with no railings to stop our child from falling and a unlit back road which made easy access for anyone to enter our patio.
The mini bars fail to lock which proved very expensive when your child helped himself to the miniture spirits or a £2 kit kat.
Be prepared to take a extra £400 for taxi's for two week period and a further £2000 for the families food and drink.
The entertainment is poor and this is a hotel i would avoid if you are a family.
I hope my review prevents some-one making the same mistake we made by visiting the Olympic Logoon Hotel.
P.s Cyprus is a fantastic place away from this location.

A very presentable hotel with a fantastic pool area. The pool itself was lovely, just take care of your ears.....two out of our party of 5 contracted an ear infection within 24 hours of arriving back in the UK. The pool service guys, Martin & Jacob were lovely and very helpful and spoke excellent English (puts us to shame). As the pool area was so lovely and it was so hot, we spent most of our time around the pool as there were plenty of sunbeds and parasols. We stayed in one of the superior bungalows with a pool view and it was perfect for us with great air conditioning....an absolute must. We were half board and the breakfast was absolutely fine...pretty standard for most holiday hotels. The evening buffet was not terribly child friendly and we felt it would have been a good idea to ensure that chips were on the menu every night for kids. It was also hit and miss as to whether there were "proper" sausages on or if they were frankfurter type. Having said that, overall it was fine, although they could really do with some ceiling fans in the pool side bar (when the evening buffet and entertainment is held) and the air conditioning could do with turning up a notch or two in the cafeteria/restaurant where breakfast is served.
The entertainment was fabulous. We really enjoyed the evening cabaret performances and couldn't believe how much we enjoyed cash prize bingo ("How much?"). Carlos, Gemma, Carla, Nicola, Selina, Georgie and Hayli worked really hard during the day and evening and we really appreciated their efforts.
Overall, we really enjoyed our holiday and found it to be very relaxing in the Olympic Lagoon Resort.

We have just come back from a fortnight at this hotel, including getting married there and we just wanted to say it is the best holiday we have ever had. The staff were fantastic and very friendly and the hotel itself was lovely. They couldnt do enough for us on our wedding day and we would recommend having your wedding there. The pool was fantastic, so much so we didn't bother with the beach. We hope to return one day in the future.

We have just come back from a week in Cyprus, weather was excellent, people were great - RESORT WAS well what can I say.... don’t expect luxury - and its definitely not a 4* rating. Rooms are tacky, dirty and extremely dated and in desperate need of refurbishment. We would NOT recommend food at this resort - even though it sounds financially tempting to opt for all-inclusive - I would not recommend it as the food quality is extremely POOR, eat at your own risk. The swimming pool is pleasant enough – very refreshing when you need to be cooled off - but not very clean, our son picked up a ear infection during our brief time out there - received EXCELLENT SERVICE from the doctor out there - they are brilliant - only had to wait 5mins to see him - unlike in the UK.
Beach is not too far – but it’s a bit weird having to walk through another resort in order to get to the beach. Nissi beach is a MUST – fantastic, warm waters, great music and beautiful surroundings and only 5mins by taxi/bus.
The resort is within a 5min bus/taxi ride to the lively town - great food choice there for every taste buds from fast food to a very plush Chinese meal - the choice is endless.

Food was great and the rooms really nice... had a great time! the staff did everything they were asked. androula in housekeeping was amazing

We have just returned from our Wedding/Holiday at this hotel. The hotel is FANTASTIC
although very expensive, example diet coke in a plastic cup from pool bar 2 euros 30.
Oue Wedding was amazing we had Aphrodite Weddings as our organizers who were great, we got married in the free gazebo to the right of veranda, all chairs had white covers all the area decorated beautifully.( the wedding garden is extra 350 euros and looks like its been made with paper mache) We had all our own music played during the ceremony. We had our reception at the hotel, on the veranda all made private just for us, once again all decorated beautifully, our meal was 5* service was 5* nothing was too much trouble, we had our own cds playing into the area, no one was allowed to walk within the area at all. there was 20 of us inc 5 kids.we wasnt made to feel rushed in any way everything was perfect. in the evening Carlos played our first song for us in the the entertainment area, it was also my daughters 12th birthday the whole place sung Happy Birthday to her and she was part of the Magic show producing doves and rabbits from paper. Our photogragher was arranged via Aphrodite Weddings and the photos are FANTASTIC, (no sunbathers in background at all) First class service.
The hotel couldnt of done anymore for us it was perfect.
Pools amazing, staff helpfull and very proffessional inc the general manager who made as feel as if we were the most important people in the place.
Location not great a 20 min walk to Nissi Bay where there are some fab resturants inc Valentinos and Gardens Inn. If you walk out the back of the hotel and turn right theres a supermarket, further on some restaurants not great though. Not sure why everyone raves about the Garden of Eden overpriced and kitchen and tiolets far from clean definatley give the one a wide berth.
Entertainment in the day is great, the premier team are fantastic inc Carlos, Jemma,Geogie, Nicola and Hayley. The evening is much of a much ness.
As far as we were concerned everything was great couldnt really fault the hotel apart from prices, be prepared to spend a least £120 a day if on B&B for family of 4.

just arrived back this week after getting married there.i would advise anyone getting married in this hotel to have the new wedding venue witch is situated at the back of the hotel,it costs 350 euros but is more private and is gorgeous,we got married there and would definately recommend it,the gazebo type thing that is free is right next to the pool and you are in full view of people sunbathing and this will be in your photographs.
i wouldnt recommend having your wedding meal here as there could be up to three brides walking around the hotel bar at the same time,which isnt very nice for the bride herself.we went to sunset beach which was absolutely gorgeous and you are the only bride there and everything is perfect.
we stayed here for two weeks,there was 12 of the wedding party and we were alinclusive,even though we found the food to be nice i didnt feel they catered for children in the food department.the icecreams were not part of the aliclusive deal throughout the day.my children are 6 and 7 and in all the other hotels we`ve stayed in in the past they could have snacks and icecream as part of the alinclusive deal.
we felt that every time we went the bar for a drink you were asking for a million pound as they did not like serving people who were alinclusive.we are not people who sit round the bar all day getting drunk either.the alinclusive end at eleven oclock aswell.
The hotel itself was immaculate and the maids came everday and changed your towels which was good.they worked very hard! the pool was the best thing about the hotel.it was gorgeous as were the hotel grounds itself.
The hotel has bars down the road but i dont know if it was earlier on in the season but they were very quiet.if you want nightlife you have to go into aiyanapa and get a cab,this can cost upto 20 euros there and back ,which all adds up at the end of your stay.if we went back we would only stay bed and breakfast and hire a car because the island itself is amazing.i would say they cater for the disabled cos there was two in our party and they lent a wheel chair free of charge,also access was easier enough.i would stay here again but wouldnt go aliclusive.

we loved this hotel, we had are wedding there on the 27th may in the New wedding Garden.
The kids club is the best for kids on a morning its 11 till 12.30 then 2 till 3.30 then on a night time 8 till 9 (but you have to stop with the kids on a night).
The food was nice but not the best. we had are tea on the first night in the hotel and for the 4 of us it was 73euros.
it takes about 1hour to walk in to ayia napa or 10 minutes in a taxi which is 8-10 euros.
We are going back next year. i would give it a 5*.
