Louis Princess Beach Hotel

The hotel dosent have any entertainment at all, it is located on a road approx 6 miles away from the town centre of Larnaca, the managers are very unfriendly, and they dont have anywhere to leave your luggage if you have a late flight, we are on a family holiday here in May 2010, a waste of money staying here a terrible hotel with poor facilities.

Just returned from this excellent hotel after staying for two weeks. The food was consistently of an excellent standard, the whole place was kept spotlessly clean, the staff were professional and polite at all times and very friendly.
The entertainment was however very low key, so be prepared to play cards, chat with new found friends etc. most evenings. The kids club was enjoyed by our 8 year old.
The area of Larnaca is not the most beautiful on the island, so a trip to other areas occasionally (Protaras, Aiya Napa) is nice. We went on the jeep safari to Famagusta, which was very informative regarding the history of the island. Get a cab from the airport rather than book transfers, should only be about 20 euros each way. Other than the entertainment, this hotel is 100% brilliant.

Had a wonderful time at this hotel on all inclusive. The food was excellent and available all day. The evening entertainment needs to be upgraded and perhaps relocated nearer the main hotel. Drinks were also very good
The only complaint we had was that the room we had was below the main water storage tanks and we could not sleep due to the noise from the pumps.
When we complained they were not in the least surprised and offered us alternative rooms . We did not accept their first offer and after another two sleepless nights we were moved to a lovely quiet room.
We have since e mailed the head ofice in Cyprus and also the Hotel manager.
We received prompt replies apologising for the problems we had and informing us that the tanks etc were due to be removed in 2008.
Apart from this it is an excellent hotel with very polite and helpful staff and all areas are kept spotless. If you are going out for the day an excellent packed lunch is available if you order it at reception the evening before
We would certainly go back to this hotel if they carry out the improvements promised
There are many hotels in the Louis Group and they should be very good if this one is is anything to go by.
Enjoy your holiday

Just got back from this WONDERFUL place.
It is clean, modern, peaceful and friendly.
We had a garden room 20 meters from pool and approx 70 meters from sea.
Food was fantastic and plenty of it - lunchtime rush a bit crazy but give it 30 mins and the crowds disperse - strange guest behaviour given food is available all day!
Drinks & Bar Service were great chilled 1 ltr bottles of water available saving many repeat trips to the bar during day - even the local beer taste good.
I knocked 1 point off for the entertainment - which isnt great. But a holiday is what you make of it and the fun our son had dancing with his new friends was more than enough to make up for this glitch.
We didnt venture too many times from the hotel - really no need to. A couple of bars and shops across the street which seem decent enough and serve great cocktails!

I would advise people who have children not to go to this hotel as the kids club is awful and the entertainment is embarrassingly nonexistent.
People who want a relaxing holiday should go there.
The staff are good and the food is fantastic. Rooms are clean as is the pool.
Not much to do outside of the hotel either - pretty glum in all honesty.
Lots of German tourists stay at that hotel - they are rude and very dismissive of us English people which is rather annoying!!!!
For the money we paid we could have got a lot elsewhere!

Having been to the Louis Imperial in Paphos the previous year, we were expecting the same high standard holiday.
This was not completely the case, although the hotel is of a good quality always clean with friendly and helpful staff its major fault is the entertainment.
The quality of entertainment was so very,very poor it was embarrassing. If you have children young or older do not come to this hotel there is just not enough things for them to do.
If however you like just chilling at the pool (excellent) or beach (not situated on one of the best beaches in Cyprus as it says in the brochure) then by all means come or if you want a better time go to the Louis Imperial in Paphos.
I sincerely hope that the Louis chain take note of its customer comments as this hotel could be better.

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Louis Princess Beach Hotel.
The hotel is first class, always very clean, and excellent choice of food. We cannot fault the hotel, staff or cleanliness. This is definitely a "laze around the pool" holiday. The beach is very small and could be improved upon.
There are stones to cross before you meet the sea. Once you are in the stones disappear and you can paddle out quite a distance and it is still only up to your hips. Great for kids though.
The evening entertainment is still pretty much nonexistent, and for the very high standard of the hotel, this does let it down a little. We paid extra for the pool/sea view and it’s well worth it.
We only ventured outside the hotel twice, once to walk along the beach (not much to see), and secondly to cross the road to the shop (a very busy road!). We were all inclusive and the hotel had everything we needed. We also got married whilst at the hotel.
We should have married at Larnaca Town Hall, but it has not been rebuilt yet! It is in temporary rooms above the KFC, TGI Fridays & McDonalds! We didn't find this out until we arrived there 4 days before the wedding.
The hotel does not normally hold weddings, but as we had been let down, and the venue was totally out of the question, they allowed us to hold the wedding in the grounds of the hotel. It was fantastic! They kept an area clear for us and provided champagne.
They could not do enough to help. They made the wedding day a day to remember, and we could not thank them enough. We will most definitely return to this hotel in the future and would recommend it to friends and family.

Food here excellent, the chief Elias special mussels fantastic. Hotel and around pool etc is kept pristine at all times. Rooms are clean and staff friendly and cannot do enough for you.
Although the hotel is right on the beach its dark sand and to actually get into the sea you have to go over a lot of large pebbles. If you have small children hotel run kids club with Margarita is good.
My children 10 and 11 this was our 3rd year at this hotel, we feel we have outgrown the hotel, as the evening entertainment really is non existent, apart from karaoke night. Be prepared to get up early for the sun beds.

Had an excellent time at this hotel the food was fantastic, breakfast consisted of everything, cereal, fruit, full English, continental even chips if you wanted. Lunch was served at the pool bar, about 12 different salads and 6 main courses, and sweet. Dinner also consisted of a vast array of salads and 6/7 main course 6/7 different sweets and soup. They did ask that men wear long trousers at dinner, which was a little difficult as my husband had only taken one pair with him!! Snacks were also available in between meals if you became peckish!!!
The hotel also offered pool towels, you paid 5 Cypriot pounds for each towel which you could exchange every 3 days, at the end of the holiday you get your 5 pounds back, an excellent service.
Entertainment was a little poor on an evening but you can always make your own.
Buses ran every 30 mins into Larnaca for 60 cents, and into Ayia Napa every hour at a cost of 3 pounds return.
I would definitely recommend this hotel the staff and everyone were so friendly and we would certainly visit again.
