Rising Star Apartments

This was our third time back to the rising star apartments. Was lovely, rooms are extreamly clean, maid service everyday. All the people that work there are extreamly polite and can't seem to do enough for you.
In a fantastic position on fig tree bay and within 200m of bars, shops and places to eat out.
Weather was fantastic... 40 degree heat everyday and some days 45/ 46 degrees. (And this was in the first two weeks of July).
Would recomend the boat trips to everyone... good value for money (15 euros each) for a two hour trip up to famigusta... not only is it fun but you get to learn a little about the islands history...
Wouldn't say the entertainment was very good this year (Sarah and Andy). Chris and Aeron who worked there last year were much better.
Have allready booked to go back to Cyprus again for next year... absoloutly love it!!

HI
i stayed at the Rising Star apartments from 30th july- 13th aug, and i had a fantastic time!! met some great people, if you remember me i was one of the only people from london,lol was with my son Brandon and partner Kingsley.. find me on face book lol
sorry......
well we had a studio for 2 adults and a 5 year old. which suited us fine, plenty of room, and was very clean, great cleaners, linen change and towels nearly every day! we had fantastic sea view room, not alot of storage space but suited us fine. the evening entertainment went on till about 12, it wasnt a problem with the apartment door shut to balcony you couldnt really hear it!
entertainment was great, for both kids and adults!
i no my partner got envolved with water bingo, water polo, mr rising star, he loved it. so did my little one with the evening entertainment, all the dances cartoon heros, etc.
if you didnt want to join in they didnt force you, andy and sarah were great!!!
the pool area was great, cleaned every morning and the cleaners cleaned all showers emptied bins and picked up all rubbish, there is alot of sunbeds to go round, the ones around front of pool do go early, as i must admint i got up early to get one, only so i could see my little one from my lounger and not have to restrict him going in the pool because i couldnt see him..
in summer months i think you may find people from other hotels and locals using the pool which can be pain..
only bad thing about the pool to beware of is ear infections, must be something they use in pool, but my son got one after 4 days of being there, but managed to get ear drops from local chemist, then used ear plugs. i would advised anyone who is going to be in pool alot adults and children to use ear plugs at all times,, id say 80% of kids had ear infections or were using ear plugs..
the beach was great... but can work out expensive if ur going to go there alot and use the sunbeds, worked out for 2 loungers 6 euros..
hotel in great location, 5 minutes walk to main strip with lots of bars and resturants and shops.
astoria resturant is great, also red indian, and a must try is mr cod!
worst meal was Raj indian, expensive and tastes like a boil in the bag indian.. wouldnt recommend there!
the mini golf is great its just past the flintstones resturant, and its cheap to play aswell..
the weather was fantastic, 40 degrees every day!
all in all holiday was great, would def go back to the rising star again, met some great people, had a great experience..
its not as cheap as it used to be in cyprus, its not much different in price from living in london, so didnt notice it, i didnt think it was to bad..
10/10

Our 3rd year in Protaras 2nd year at the Rising Star. We have been spoilt by coming to this resort and especially this hotel because its very difficult to decide where to go next year.Everything you need is on your doorstep. beach, supermarket, restaurants and bars, even walking to the next resort Penera doesnt take long, and its a lovely walk with brilliant views. We were lucky enough to get same room as last year with a bottle of wine in room which was a lovely touch. Great view over the bay which is fantastic. Entertainment for kids is great with Andy and Sarah plus bingo and quiz for adults. The only gripe i have (and only one) is the sunbeds, i think management should but a time limit on when people can put towels down. i got up around 7 am one morn and looked out and beds were taken already (saddos). All in all we had another great holiday and im sure we will be back. Keep up the good work Alex and staff.

just got back from this hotel, stayed in the arpartments not to bad but the view we had was dissapointing just a mess off grass, not the seaview we expected. weather was really hot but always is even in oct its really warm. the sister hotel golden star is much better for the view so next time will stay there food good but the euros have killed it take plenty of money u will need it more if u got children. been to cyprus 5 times now and fig tree bay is the best to stay in.

Me and my partner got back from cyprus 3 weeks ago. 3rd time to cyprus second time to protaras. Reading the other reviews i think we stayed in a different hotel. This is the noisiest hotel i have ever stayed in. You could here everything from scraping of chairs to people walking or running of footsteps above you and also banging and clattering of water pipes and boiler room. This went on from early hours of the morning to very late at night for 2 whole weeks! This spoilt our holiday.
Didnt think the people were very friendly. The reps never spoke to us once.
Protaras has risen in cost since we were there 2 years ago. Still a nice resort.
We wont be going back to Cyprus and definetly NOT to the Rising Star.

It Was Absolutly Amazin, There Were Loads To Do All Day, Quiz, Bingo, Games, WaterPolo, Cartoon Hero's Which I Loved ! + The Mini Disco's Were Fun.
Andy + Sarah Were Really Funnny. Shops Are Really Close + Theres Loads Of Lively Pubs. It Was My Best Holiday So Farr + I Really Hope I Can Go Again! I Made About 30 Friends + I Loved Every Single One Of Them Loads. The Pool Was Perfect[Lil Bridge,Jacussi + Lil Fountain Thing] It Was The Best Holiday Ever. Nice View Of The Sea Even Though We Were On A Different Side. The Stuff On The beach Was Ace. We Went ON The FlyFish, Sofa Thing + We Went Paraglyding + All Of Thn Were Ace !
Aswell As Missing My Friends I actualy Miss The Place Aswell.
You've Got To Go If Youu Wanna Get A Nice Tan ;)

our second visit to the rising star, excellent location, excellent service.
very clean rooms and the maid service was done to a high standard. Would recommend these apartments. We can recommend the captain panicos boat trip to famagusta and cavo greco. Only issue we had was the amount of people getting ear infections from the pool but overall a totally relaxing holiday. :-)

visited again :):) was absolutly amazing.. met another good bunch of people and i cant w8 to come back to cyprus again in august :)
Rising sun pub has better entertainment this year, with ian and jimmy and the staff r dead sweet :) .. i got hypnotised n made a complete fool outa myself in front of a bar fool of people.. u's would really enjoy it!
Best restaurants is antolias.. yianna marie restaurant.. and Astoria.
Panikos boat trip= far better and private than coca cola boat.. also Q club and ghetto bar are brill too..
:)

just back from cyprus and had a brilliant time. It was my second time there and i would go again. Everyone there is very friendly and the apartments are kept clean and so is the pool. I would recommend it to everyone and it has some lovely resturants one being antolios. It is a short travel of about 15 minutes to get to one of the best party places aiya napa which is definitely worth the travel, there is also a water park in aiya napa which is a worth while experience if you enjoy a thrill. the daytime entertainment is good and kept all the children happy with there games and many people including me enjoyed the cartoon heroes dance. the main bars i would recommand are the ghetto, rising sun pub, and later it is worth while togo to q-club. we also went scabo diving which was a good experience we got to feed the fish under the water and got a photo to remember it and a certifacate. it is certainly a holiday to remember. hopefully i will be there again.

Just returned from one week's stay at the Rising Star. Had a brilliant holiday. Protaras is lovely and the Rising Star Hotel is brilliant. We stayed in a self catering apartment which was so well equipped - had everything we needed. Maid service great - room cleaned, beds changed and towels replaced every other day. Location of hotel was prime - just a few steps from the beach. Down a small quite road just a couple of minutes away from the main strip which is just full of bars, restaurants, gift shops. Protaras is very family orientated - only one nightclub. The beach is beautiful - watersports great, plenty of food/drink establishments on it. Entertainment in the hotel was good fun - Thomas Cook reps were very good and really involved the kids around the pool in activities each day. All in all we would definitely recommend the Rising Star and cant wait to return.
Would recommend Oscars restaurant - just across road from McDonalds at top of main strip. The food is gorgeous and the staff were so friendly - as were all the Cypriots.
