Rising Star Apartments

Huge rooms, excellent pool area with large grassy belt between pool and beach.
Spotless, regular maid service, friendly staff, reasonable prices for drinks and snacks.
Excellent pub right next door for first drink on the way out and nightcaps on the way back with big screens for all the football etc. Entertainment and karaoke.
Protaras is a bigger place than I imagined with lots of restaurants to choose from, many offering quality 3 course set menus for under a tenner - try Anatolia’s on the top road but get there early (or late) or wait for a table between 8 and 9 o’clock. More water sports than I have seen anywhere and no yob culture.
I will return...

This was our third time to the Rising Star, and our fith time to Protaras. The Rising Star is the best hotel we have stayed in. It is a lovely hotel and lovely and clean, all the staff are really friendly and cant do enough for you.
Location is brilliant right on the beach, and 5 mins from bars, shops and reasturants. We was at the Rising Star in May this year and had such a good time that once we got home booked straight away for August!
Must say that what made our holiday was the entertainment staff, Chris and Aairron! They are great my daughter, Channelle loved them both and cried all the way home bless her. Do want to go to the Rising Star next year but not sure if it will be the same without them two. They are brilliant with the kids and they made our holiday. We are still missing them now. If you are going the Rising Star you will have a great holiday.

I'm a 13 year old girl and I have been to Cyprus 4 times and to the Rising Star 3 times! I think Cyprus is a great place and I can’t stop going there!
The Rising star is probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in! The staff are great and they are very friendly. The hotel is very clean and the rooms are great! I went to the rising star 2 years ago and this year I came back! I am delighted to say that it is still great and I really love this hotel!
The entertainment in the hotel is great! Without Chris and Aairon, there wouldn't be any fun! They are both really funny and both amazing entertainers! I think they are like twins! The daytime and evening entertainment was really good!
My favourite daytime activity was the adult’s water polo! It was so funny to watch adults get dunked! My dad played once and I was in stitches laughing! Plus Chris and Aairon played so it was even funnier to watch!
My favourite evening show was the entertainer’s cabaret! It was good to see the entertainers sing together! The mini disco was funny too! I bought the CD and I cant stop singing and dancing to the songs!
My holiday was great and I would love to come back to the rising star again next year!!

Well again we were not disappointed with this lovely hotel. This was our second visit to Rising Star and I can say it was brilliant.
The staff are really friendly and always happy to help, the rooms are clean and beds are changed every other day, clean towels every day as well. My son who is 15 met up with other teenagers there and I’ve got to say it was a pleasure to have them all there.
Erin and Chris great entertainers and always included them in most things. A restaurant that has to be visited is Oscars.
The food is fabulous there and reasonably priced, I couldn’t believe when we walked in there this year that the Manager recognised us and remembered he had his picture taken with us last year as well, he made us feel so welcome (with complimentary floater liqueur coffee) at the end of our meal.
We have already booked up for next year along with two other couples who we met up with; it was a really enjoyable holiday with many tears on the last day when we all left one another.
To end this I can assure you if you book up at this hotel you really won't be disappointed. It’s the best place in Protarus to stay and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

The resort of Protaras in Cyprus is fabulous. The Rising Star apartments was overall the best I have stayed in. Me and my wife and 2 children aged 13 and 15 couldn’t have asked for more with the apartments themselves or the resort.
The apartments are right on the beach, with facilities within 2mins away. The entertainment at the apartments was great, both day and night.
Good quality food at the apartments, with a wide range of pubs and restaurants along the main part, it is only about 2mins walk into the centre. I recommend chichis Mexican restaurant, absolutely fabulous and the steakhouse opposite MacDonald’s was also excellent.
Have booked to go already for next year, can’t wait. Excellent holiday, would recommend very strongly.

Well what can I say! I’m 11 and it’s my 5th time in Cyprus but my first time in the Rising Star. It’s amazing! You get treated like gold it’s like you’re in a palace. It’s very clean and the rooms are big.
As I’m 11 I was in the pool all the time. I went for 2 weeks with my mum, dad and wee brother.
If you’re in your early 20's the Rising Star is a family hotel it’s not for partying 20 year olds. The only reason I’m telling you this is because when I was there we hardly got to play in the pool because of rough ones booting the ball round the pool. But other than that I loved it.
The Fig Tree Bay Beach is right on your doorstep. And the main shopping street is only at least 200 yards away it’s amazing. The entertainers Chris and Aairon are very good. They make you laugh, dance, sing and all that kind of stuff. Some nights they have Kids talent shows, Mini discos, Splash dance every day, Bingo, Key to a fortune and a Quiz.
They don't have a kids club but why would you need a kids club when your kids like me will be busy doing something other than annoy you.
There's pool tables, computers and there’s a tennis pitch. Well I loved it and I’m sure everyone else there has as well!!

This is our 2nd year to Protaras and our 1st time staying at the Rising Star. What can I say, it was brilliant, the location of the hotel is fabulous. Fig Tree Bay beach is on your doorstep and is perfect.
The pool area is great especially if you have children, hardly ever saw my son Tom, he made lots of friends and was obsessed with playing pool which was good enough for me while I sunbathed on the grassed area and his dad fishing on the walkout area where the Coca Cola boat moored.
Lots of entertainment around the pool both day and evening with Aairon & Chris who were great fun, especially splash dance but I didn’t come back looking like Claudia Schiffer as they promised!!!!
Hotel very clean, free air con which was needed and a great view across the bay. Nights out on the strip were fabulous, food fabulous our fave rest was Georgias opp Waves cocktail bar.
As I’m writing this review my husbands booking for next year. Enough said!!!!!

What can I say best hotel still! That was my second time there.
I loved every minute of the hotel.
I want to go back next year. The two entertainers this year were very very good a great laugh for kids, adults, teenagers like me. They are very good they loved doing what they do.
I highly recommend the rising star it’s a 3 star hotel but it should be a 5 star hotel the service is great everything is great about the hotel. The golden star is the same 5 stars it should be the pub is great every thing about the resort I have nothing bad to say about the place.
Staff are friendly, rooms are very very clean, great view from the balcony right out to sea. I don’t think I could find a better hotel than the rising star.
If you’re ever going to Cyprus stay in protaras and stay in the rising star.
I again highly recommend this hotel.

Just got back from my stay at the rising star hotel. what can I say? Amazing! Couldn’t of asked for more.
The rooms where really clean, maids in everyday and the bedroom and living room even had air conditioning which really helped through the night.
The restaurant around the pool was great for breakfast and lunch, but if you are looking for a great meal in the night I highly recommend the Yainna Marie restaurant just over the road.
The pool had a really friendly atmosphere surrounding it, everybody got along including our rep (the lovely sue) always there when you needed her and not afraid to get involved with the daytime activities provided by the entertainers.
Aaron and Chris…what can I say? I have never laughed so much in my life than I have in them two weeks. They had a great daytime routine of splash dance for the kids and competitions for everyone to have ago!
They even kept you entertained up on the veranda bar during the night. Two of the Loveliest people I have ever met who you couldn’t help get along with whether you’re an adult or a child (or in the middle like me) wanted to take them home with me.
The hotel also provided entertainment during the night as well, from Chinese night to a Carvery night and a BBQ night on a Saturday, all with different entertainment including Chris and Aairon.
The hotel is situated right next to the beach, which provided a great view. Even though I don’t really like the beach I would give an exception to this one.
Really cannot find anything negative to say about the resort or the hotel! Highly recommended! Defiantly go back there.

I've been coming to Cyprus from I was 5 years old. I’ve stayed in many different hotels as I come 2/3 times a year.
My 1st ever time in Cyprus I stayed in the Golden Star hotel, sister of the rising star and have stayed again many times after that. I always thought that nothing could beat it until I started visiting the rising star when it 1st opened 3 or 4 years back which was better. I have visited this hotel 6/7 times from it has opened!
The apts are a great size and the beds are comfy. Hard to sleep without the air conditioning but you can get it free at the reception.
The rooms were cleaned daily and always had fresh towels. The pool area is fantastic and the entertainers this year were brill but to be honest I miss Benn Andrea and jellybean. The entertainers from last year and the year before.
The bar staff are extremely friendly. The Yianna Marie restaurant is really nice and again the staff are really friendly. The rising sun pub is fantastic! I enjoyed watching the entertainment in it and the dj Luke.
A trip on captain Panikos boat is great; I find it better than the coca cola one. It takes you to the same places but is more private on the smaller boat and more information is provided about the places.
Also a trip to Ayia Napa waterpark is a must! It fantastic! And if you’re a young party animal a trip to Ayia Napa at night is also well needed.
The best restaurants in Protaras for me is Astoria, Anatolia, and Mr. Cod. The staff are also pleasant and have grown to b family friends.
I will definitely be coming back to the rising star next year! If you haven’t been ...get going it’s a holiday resort and hotel that you won’t forget.
