Anais Bay Hotel

4 readers found this review helpful

My sister and I have just returned from Cyprus staying at the Anais Bay Hotel. We came for our friends wedding who had stayed here earlier on in the year and on her recommendation,she booked us in.
What a lovely quaint Hotel this is. We had a wonderful stay here with everything you could wish for.We were made very welcome by the brothers and families, the gorgeous baby George and the lovely Marianne at reception. It boasts a lovely pool/bar area, good food and only yards from the hotel to the beach. Everything from shops to restaurants are near at hand
What more could you ask for? We will definitely return to this wonderful hotel

Just returned from the Anais Bay Hotel and our first visit to Cyprus. Can't praise the hotel enough. A family run hotel which is spotlessly clean and the staff are just so helpful, we would definitely return.
We asked the reception staff directions to our car hire company in Protaras and the next thing a quick call was made and they had arranged the car to be delivered to the hotel in 10 minutes!
The hotel is actually set in Pernera in a quiet part of Protaras(which we think is a bonus) but there is a promenade walk which takes 25mins to walk into Protaras centre. There is also a bus at the top of the street which costs 1 euro to anywhere!
Pernera has a little high street with plenty of bustling bars and restaurants and a couple of supermarkets. It has it's own bay with a couple of beach restaurants/bars and watersports and boat trips. Two sunbeds and an umbrella - 6uros.
Our top tip for an excursion - 'The Red Bus Tour'. It's a 3 hour open top bus tour through local villages and the 'green line' where the lookout posts of both the Turkish side and Cypriot side are clearly visible. There is a 3 hour live running commentry by the very witty owner and it is so interesting. - This trip is a must (18 euro).
Not normally ones to comment on places we've been but this place definitely needs sharing!

Me and my mother stayed at the Anais Bay Hotel for 2 weeks.
We cannot say enough about this hotel. The staff are very friendly,
the rooms were cleaned and we had fresh towels every day, the food and
drinks served are good and the breakfast is brilliant.
Although quite small, this hotel offers a relaxed, friendly 'home from home'
atmosphere with a pleasant pool area. Just what we were looking for!.
We will definately be visiting them again and probably taking as many
family members as we can with us!!

Anais Bay is situated on the outskirts of Protaras, a stones throw away from a small but very pleasant beach with plenty of water sports and a short walk from shops and bars. A short bus ride will take into the center of Protaras with more night life and more shops.
The hotel’s ground floor was very much 'open plan' which for me added to its appeal giving a more relaxed, comfortable and homely atmosphere. Breakfasts were wonderful with a choice of fruits, yogurts, cereals and/or full English. The evening meal, although being from a restricted menu was still very good and very varied during our stay.
The staff were very friendly throughout the duration of the holiday and very committed with a high level of professionalism.
Tip 1 - Try the scuba diving,
Tip 2 - Only got to the Windmill Bar if you are an extrovert,
Tip 3 - Try the 'Mese',
Tip 4 - Go for 2 weeks and go sightseeing especially the Troodos Mountains.

My wife & have been going to the Anais Bay twice a year now for the past eight years now & we can't fault the hotel. All of the staff are very friendly & helpful. Clean bedding every day.
Good food & a very friendly atmosphere. We will keep returning to this home from home with out the rain.
You enjoy a barbecue one night a week, plus live entertainment. The pool is a nice size one & it is never too crowded.
Food & drink on tap if you want it.
Just great!

What can I say BUT fantastic holiday in Cyprus!!! Would recommend Anais Bay to anyone.
Hotel staff were very pleasant (Marian on the front desk was great). The two brothers were also very good. The barman, is the slowest in the world but good enough.
We got married there using Olympic. The wedding advisor was great very very good.
On our last night we found a bottle of champagne in our room from the brothers.
The pool area was great (Anyone going take some uptodate music for them to upload to the pc they use for the music around the bar/pool).
We ate a few times in the hotel and it was good. Priced the same as the surrounding bars.
If you get chance try the mexican and the steak house is also good.
All in all a fantastic holiday. Will definitely be going back.

Family run hotel, very friendly. You get that personal touch that you will not receive in the big, faceless hotel chains, even 4 and 5 stars.
The breakfast is cooked to order from continental to whatever you require, up to full english. Very well cooked with fresh produce, also the snacks and meals.
I will return to the Anias Beach time after time.

We stayed at the Anais Bay for 4 nights whilst on an inspection trip with MRI properties and the hotel was lovely. A lovely looking hotel not at all like your usual high rise building. It's very near the beach and only a short walk from bars and restaurants. The bus will take you to the centre of Protaras 1 stop for £1 but we found that the local bars were just as good. The staff and the maids are really friendly and the pool is lovely. We would highly recommend this hotel and Cyprus it's a beautiful country we proved it we bought a house!!!

My girlfriend and I had a lovely time at the Anais Bay. The hotel was great and all the staff were friendly.
The room was kept clean with a daily maid service. The pool bar was handy as we hit a heat wave and we usually had waiter service depending on the barman's mood.
I would recommend doing scuba diving with triton diving who come to the hotel and let you try it out in the pool, we ended up doing it twice in the sea.
The pubs and restaurants close to the hotel were all good especially the Knights Bar. If you are a couple, this is the place to go - quite at night but nightlife a two minute walk away. We will be back in 2008.

We have just returned from the Anais Bay, having decided to renew our vows for our 15th wedding anniversary in Cyprus. We had a wonderful day, and couldn't have managed without the help of the hotel management.
We have stayed in the Pernera area before, and met so many people who repeatedly return to the Anais Bay Hotel, that we decided to see for ourselves.
From start to finish nothing is too much trouble for the brothers, Nick & Yiannis - My husband lost his mobile phone at Larnaca airport, and within 24 hours it was sitting in our pigeon-hole behind reception... How amazing!
Our room was clean and tidy, with a daily maid service, as are the dining and pool areas.
The food is good, especially breakfast, but we chose to stay on a B&B basis as there are many other restaurants in the area - We did eat at the hotel a few times though, and found the food to be of a good standard.
The BBQ/karaoke night is a must - Yiannis' Robbie Williams impression is hilarious!
If you are looking for an enormous, ugly concrete block of a hotel, where you don't see the same member of staff more than once, then the Anais Bay is not for you.
If you are looking for a 'home from home' type of holiday, where the staff know you by your first name, book yourself a week- You won't regret it!
Thoroughly recommended.
