Capo Bay Hotel Reviews
" wedding at capo bay "
Submitted By: spud0474This hotel is second to none - the staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you.
We held our wedding at the hotel no 5th May and quite honestly we have never been treated so well. Complimentary champagne, flowers & fruit basket on arrival, complimentary champagne and fruit basket on the day of the wedding, gift of two bath towels from the hotel also.
The hotel is right next to the beach, with an excellent location for bars and restaurants.
Anatolia Restaurant is highly recommended. We held our pre-wedding get-together and they catered for 36 people extremely well. They were organised and the food is great.
This is a fantastic hotel to hold a wedding, very organised, fantastic food, excellent staff and we could not have had a better time.
There is the added bonus of an adult only pool so no kids messing around whilst you are trying to relax.
We spent 10 days at this hotel and it is highly recommended by both my new husband and I.
Good for: Beach
" Location Location Location "
Submitted By: jen85The fridge was very cold though and it even had a freezer for ice creams! Our sea view was not great and simply overlooked a car park - the sea being behind that but the hotel refused to move us. The balcony was also tiny i mean you could hardly swing a cat. The normal rooms have much bigger balconies but are in the old part of the building and are a bit sweaty.
The breakfast was lovely and the pools are great but my boyfriend was not a fan of having to stay in the one place all week - he likes to move about a bit! beach was lovely but i would rate the beach near grecian park much better (konnos bay) and would recommend a taxi ride there for the day as it is not as crowded and much nicer.
The restuarant opposite grecian park is lovely as is a small restaurant opposite capo bay which forms part of apartments - i think its called le parc.
Capo bay is conveniently located on fig tree bay and there are many shops, bars and restuarants about. It is also facing a doctor which may come in handy.
I would probably go back but think grecian park is a much safer bet and the rooms there are much nicer.
Advice: Great beach
Activities: Luccia

" Nice clean Hotel "
Submitted By: Cheryl BlackburnFirst impression as you enter the hotel is impressive, very modern reception area, nice sized pool area and great view overlooking Fig Tree Bay.
As we were getting married in the hotel we were automatically given an upgrade from a standard inland view to a Superior Room with sea view. I have to question their idea of a Superior room - I've stayed in larger rooms at Travel Inns. We had to ask the reception to make the twin beds into a double (you would've thought seeing as though we were getting married that this should be a given). Dissappointing that the sea view was obscured by the side of the hotel meaning that you couldn't see anything of Fig Tree Bay. The balcony was practically non-existent, which was a shame as there was at least 3 foot to the side of the balcony which was unused space. Hopefully in 2009 the decor will be updated in the rooms and the hallways as it is really dated.
The wedding venue at Capo Bay is marvellous (even if it does tend to feel like a bit of a cattle market wedding i.e. one in one out). I understand that in 2009 there will only be 1 wedding per day at Capo Bay (I guess the room prices will have to go up to make allowances for the missing wedding income).
A tip for anybody having a wedding at Capo Bay - take a CD with you if you want specific music (they're not quite up to speed with MP3s and IPods) for the ceremony and reception.
The maid service is excellent, the food is divine (and plenty of it), the table service in the restaurant is very good. The wedding meal (BBQ Buffet) was of the highest quality. The sunbed scheme is very good (only point I'd like to make here is that the grass isn't well maintained). For those people with children I would recommend asking for sunbeds near the children's play area.
The cost of meals and drinks is high - but Cyprus is not a cheap place to eat out anyway (we spent 80EUR on a burger lunch for 4 adults). I would recommend finding PJs Bakery across from Cheers bar and have your lunch there, the croissants are as big as a dinner plate.
Anybody looking to have their holiday in Cyprus should consider using Aphrodite Wedding Planners - we went with First Choice, and although they were good, the Aphrodite team were much more hands on, you could easily tell the difference between an Aphrodite wedding and a First Choice wedding. Another wedding tip - take cash with you to pay the Town Hall fees, they don't take cards!!

Submitted By: Mrs T HannonIf only the tour operator that we booked the holiday through could provide the same level of service that the staff at the hotel did I’m sure they would be a lot happier people. We have a 4 year old son whose suitcase didn't arrive in Larnica we immediately reported this to the airline who got straight onto the case. We was met outside the airport by one of the first choice reps who was more interested in telling me that the coach would leave without us if we didn’t get on it straight away than listening to our situation. When we was on the transfer to the hotel I spoke to Justin one of the reps that made enquires and advised me that the suitcase had been found it was in Manchester and we would receive it at the latest the following morning! If only what our Rep told us was true! We struggled on that evening knowing that we would have the case in the morning all our little boys clothes, swimming items, sun creams were in the case however we wasn't going to allow this to ruin what was going to be a very special event. In the morning we went to reception to collect the case however it wasn't there! Once the Rep arrived in the Hotel for the welcome meeting we asked where it was to be given a number for the main first choice office in the resort at this point I spoke to Rachel who advised that they was doing all they could and I would have the case within the next 24 hrs! Throughout the course of events we had Debbie a First Choice Rep out the phone down on us as, I was advised again by Debbie " I wouldn't allow the fact that my son had no clothes ruin my holiday I would go out and buy a pair of shorts for 5 Euros" if I was only a pair of shorts we needed! I was told on more than 1 occasion that the case was found in Manchester and we would have it within 24 hrs, not once did the Reps make contact with me to tell me of any progress and the final straw was when we made a phone on the third day to Rachel at the office to be told that I was stopping her from doing her day job because I was phoning every couple of hours to ask for any news! By the way the case never turned up so the 3 days I wasted listening to the Reps that it was in Manchester and was been flown over was rubbish. I am disgusted by the way we was treated and how these people can be in a customer facing role when common manors, honesty and treating customers fairly doesn't come as standard to them. I am pursuing this with First Choice however they feel that telling me they are sorry for my experience and that the staff under go training is sufficient for the fact that we spent 3 days of our holiday chasing a case that was never in Manchester.
Needless to say we will not be using First Choice Holidays again as our tour operator and we had 53 guest who the majority of people booked with them who after our experience will be looking at a alternative tour operator when booking next years holiday.
" Stayed at Capo Bay for 2 weeks,... "
Submitted By: Ms T PeakDue to being happy with room, I would definately book this hotel again and try secure a family room on the same first floor. Reception area was definately 4* and looked very modern and classy. Stayed on bed and breakfast basis and food was to a good standard. Pool area lovely and ideal for even the smallest of children. Beach towels provided and systems of being allocated a sun bed for duration of stay a good idea - however due to having a car for 3 days, our beds were taken but pool attendant rectified error by providing us another set of beds in a better location. Would definately reccomend this hotel
" We booked a family room with a sea... "
Submitted By: Mr S GrahamThe rooms are a little dated but are clean and quite large. The airconditioning in the bedroom was very good. The rooms are cleaned daily, with fresh towels also provided.
The hotel reception area has been recently renovated and is absolutely awesome. On first walking in, you really understand that you have entered a top class hotel. The decor is modern and the hotel is superbly airconditioned, which is essential.
Breakfast was first class, with a fantastic array of different foods on offer, to cater for all tastes.
The hotel is right on Fig Tree Bay, which is a great bonus. The sun beds are reserved for you and the pool attendants dealt with my requests in a friendly and accommodating manner. The hotel supplies fresh beach towels every day and this is a fantastic service.
Customer service in the hotel is first class.
The hotel is due to have its bedrooms renovated from November, to be completed in time for the 2009 season. This will make this hotel a 10 out of 10 hotel! We will definitely be back.
" This was our 11th time at the Capo... "
Submitted By: Mrs K ClarkeThe hotel just gets better and better,they have revampted the reception,bar and restaurant to a very high standard,and in the next couple of years are doing the same to all the rooms and eventually having a spa so they can open all year round.
Due to the revamp the amount of rooms is going from whatever it is no 250,I think to about 170 as they are making the rooms bigger.
The amount of people who return year after year just plays testimont to how fantstic this hotel is.
Ok, it was more expensive this year but thats due to it being the first year in the euro,but if you want quality you have to pay for it.
One of the best things is the allocated sunbed system,you don't have to get up early
to get a bed and its yours for the duration of your stay.
Overall had a fantastic time,would I go again??? just try and stop me if I can still afford it.
I have already checked the First Choice brochure for next year but can't find it, so not too sure if I will have to book direct,although looking at the costs I doubt we could afford it.
" My daughter got married at the capo... "
Submitted By: Mr R Smith" We just came back from our holiday at... "
Submitted By: Mrs J LongThis hotel is a three star hotel but charges like a four star. Our superior room was tiny with a balcony that could barely fit two people, the sheets were changed only one time and we stayed for 5 days, the kettle in the room was broken and I had to ask the reception three times and wait one and a half days to get another one and I needed the kettle because I have a baby.
They use hand soap as shampoo and they dont have miniture soaps or shampoos, only large bottles of them which are never changed.
The fire exit at our floor was used as a storage room.
Food is nice though! The beach is lovely but then again wherever you go to Protaras you will find a fantastic beach!
Im shocked to see that all the nice reviews come from people who had their wedding there.
Capo Bay hotel is a disgrace for Cyprus.

Submitted By: Ms S KellyStandard hotel rooms a little on the small side and balconies just big enough for 2 chairs. We stayed in a sea view room, well worth the extra money, as the view was amazing overlooking the pool area and beach. Hotel has everything you would expect from a 4* hotel and the food was nice with a good selection to choose from.
The pool area is beautiful and very clean. Also no need to get up at the crack of dawn to get a sunbed as each hotel guest has their own designated bed which is yours for the duration of your stay.
The location is perfect, the front of the hotel is a 1 minute walk to the main street where there is plenty to do. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from with entertainment.
" Just came back from a lovely family... "
Submitted By: Mrs G AntonioThe advantages of this hotel is that it is in a prime location the sea view was spectacular as we had a top floor room which was lovely however, the cleanliness is not up to scratch.
The cleaners are overworked and they do what they can, however, I found dirt on the bathroom door, dust along the bedside table even though the cleaners did come in everyday just to add towels, hoover and make the bed.
The food and drinks at this hotel is very expensive and not much of a choice for lunch, however the breakfast consisted of a variety of pancakes, waffles, fried eggs, English sausages, cereals, etc. The bbq on Saturday nights was very nice as had a wide choice of salads, meats and deserts.
The entertainment was very, very disappointing with not many activities for a young family to get involved with. Allot of repetition of shows with the only good show of the firebirds and the Cyprus night therefore, more effort could be put into their entertainment programmes.
I also found allot of locals visiting the hotel around the swimming pool areas with no supervision from the hotel staff and anyone can walk in and use the hotel facilities.
Overall, the hotel can be improved and can do extremely well however at this time it should be classed as a 3 star plus and not a four star, as I have stayed in A class apartments that deserve to be a 4 star hotel like the Coralia beach in Paphos.
" We stayed at this hotel for our... "
Submitted By: Mrs K DaleRoom was a little on the small size which we were disappointed with as it was our honeymoon and I know they do have larger accommodated rooms. We decided to go b&b basis as we had been to Protaras before and knew we were in easy reach of some lovely restaurants.
Hotel was very spacious and had lovely overall settings. Very close to the beach, and fig tree beach is lovely. Overall a very pleasant stay for our honeymoon and would recommend.
" My wife and I have just returned from... "
Submitted By: Mr P ThomasThe hotel is very clean and all of the staff were very friendly and professional, the food in the restaurant was excellent, instead of multi choices of dishes they were more selective in providing a choice of 5/6 main courses with starters and deserts.
The idea of having a sun bed allocated on arrival at first frightened me somewhat, as I am a sun worshipper and the position is all important, this proved to be negotiable and provided the beds were not occupied by others then this was your space for the holiday duration, towels were also supplied and could be changed at any time during the day.
Anyone taking a holiday here will have wonderful and relaxing time. Having read previous reviews the ones that knock the hotel are in my opinion unfounded.
I would definitely return to this hotel.









In Protaras it's self it was very family orientated town we ate out every night there was a great selection of pubs an clubs to choose from and things for the kids to do.
Advice: Family oriented town
Activities: Romeo tavern was a great night out with plate smashing and greek entertainment food was also great
