" Fantasticat "

My husband and I have just returned after two weeks, staying at the Domniki. My title says it all, Fantastic at this place. From the time we arrived it was friendly, and almost immediately, Shaun the chef, told us to follow him, where he showed us the pool area, and where we could eat within the hotel,then the puddle at the bottom of the garden, that was the Med. Absolutely lovely. First impression (Great). The family who run the hotel could not do enough to make our stay comfortable and delightful. Shaun the chef, served up meals, that were equally fit for a King to eat, and plenty on the plate. I would Recommend anyone to try the pork chop. (Enormous) He maintained quality as well as quantity, and all reasonably priced. Not to mention the bar staff, who try to for fill your every need, always with a smile, nothing is too much trouble at the Domniki. We had a studio apartment, which was ample, as I was a little worried before arriving. It contained everything that was needed. was very clean, included a balcony, table, two chairs, and although inland view, could still see the sea, that was literally across the road. Maid service again, always greeted with a smile, must be the air over in Cyprus. Making this a Fantastic holiday. Well worth a visit, and we will certainly be going back. Up the road is the Narfora Grill, excellent for a T.Bone Steak, and the Italian restaurant, El Cavalier, recommend, Lasagna al Forno. Yummy.
If you want a fantastic holiday book in at the Dominiki, you will not be disappointed. The only bad thing was we had to go home. However, Sonia, got on the coach at 3.30am in the morning to wish us all a safe journey, (Good on ya Son) To all the Staff at the Domniki, well done, and keep doing what you do with the smile. It definitely works. Highly recommend this for a Fantastic Holiday.

Advice: Lovely area, walkway along the beach up to Fig Tree Bay, Plenty of bars, shops in town

Activities: Narfora Grill, El Cavalier for food. Excursion The Red Bus.

" Brilliant/enjoyable/lovely owners "

My self and my boyfriend, stayed at the Domniki apartments for 2 weeks, and from the begining we arrived i felt welcome. As we walked through the car park, i spotted the gorgeous well kept swimmiung pool and a gorgeous view of the sea and beach.
We was greeted by the night porter who gave our key to the room, which was lovely and clean and ideal for what we needed.
Throughout the 2 weeks we didnt have any problems with the apartment at all. perfect in my eyes. our room was cleaned regularly, the owners and there two girls who manned the recption were easily approachable, very polite and made our experience very enjoyable.
Domniki a definate must for couples of all ages, and families.A********

" Perfect Location "

Just returned from Dominiki 07/06/2009, Two week stay and you could not ask for a better location!!
Sun Bed by the Pool/Grassed area then 1 minute walk to a lovely little beach for swim/snorkelling etc. No need to pay for sunbeds on the beach.
Apartment basic but fine and very clean only small issue Air Conditioning unit only in Bedroom so if Children sleeping in main room I imagine it could get a bit warm in the hight of the season.
Staff you could not ask for nicer very friendly and excellent with the children, food very good, public areas including pool area very clean.
Selection of places to eat within a five minute walk or for a livelier night life take the new seafront boardwalk to Protaras, it only takes 20-30 minutes not an hour as our Rep tried to tell us.

Advice: Good Family Resort lovely beaches

Activities: Jeep Safari & Boat Trips

" Domniki "

Recently returned from the Domniki apartments in Pernera (near protaras) in Cyprus, and I have to say it was a great place to stay. I have stayed in Cyprus many times but this is one place I would definately come back to. The staff were very friendly and very helpful, the rooms were clean, a good size with adequate facilities. TO make this easy to read I will bullet point the things I always look for:
Bathroom: Shower with bath - water was always warm whether it was in the morning or evening and bath mats were supplied for when you get out so you don't have to worry about slipping on the tiles.
Bedroom: 2 single beds that could be pushed together to make a double if required! Good wardrobe space but take a couple of trouser hangers with you! Not an awful lot of draw space but good enough for 2 people and there was a dressing table with a mirror that was really good. The room comfortably fitted all the furniture including a cot with space to walk around.
Main room: Very spacious but incorporated the kitchen and dining table. THe fridge had a freezer inside. The other facilities were 2 ring hob and a toaster.. some rooms had an electric kettle but ours had a stove one.
Balcony: Quite small but with an excellent view - the only problem was ours was directly over reception and everytime we put clothes out they seemed to land on the roof... it was no problem for the staff though as the lads would climb up and get them down when we asked them!
Food: The food was great - we didn't eat there that often as I prefer to eat out and about but when we did it was as good as if not better than some of the restaurants.. and the breakfast was great!
Pool area: Great surroundings although because it was so early in the season the water was very cold although it did warm up near the end
Location: Fantastic.. you have the pool, the beach and a grass area inbetween if you don't like sitting on the sand. To get out and about you are in Pernera which is a great place for kids and its really family friendly but there is also a promonade walk into Protaras if you want to go to the main bit which takes about 15-20minutes and its a lovely walk along the coast.
A great place for sightseeing or a beach holiday, we were there for 2 weeks and hired a car for 5 days, in the days we didn't we either stayed by the beach (I don't like sand but it was good) or walked in to Protaras!

Advice: General resort as you would expect - certainly one to go to!

Activities: The restaurants in Pernera were lovely and the Noufaro (at the top of the road) did a great Meze

" Amazing! "

Just returned from our first holiday in Cyprus, after staying at the Domniki apartments. We couldn't have dreamed of a better week. The hotel staff were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us to make our visit to Cyprus a week to remember.
Keith and Sean always went that extra mile for their guests by checking the football scores to hiring us a car.
The food in the hotel was top class and reasonably priced. The rooms were comfortable and very clean.
We hope to return sometime soon and bring the family.

Advice: Loved Protaras, but would recommend hiring a car as there are such beautiful sights to visit around

Activities: Have to visit Fig Tree Bay

" My husband and I stayed at the... "

My husband and I stayed at the Dominiki from 6th - 20th Sept, fantastic holiday, great hotel, views from our room 111 amazing, staff great especially Keith and Penny. Apartments spotless as was the rest of the hotel. We have been to Penera 3 times now, staying at the Anastasia Hotel twice before on half board, but decided to go bed and breakfast and so glad we chose the Domniki. The breakfasts were great you had a choice from the breakfast menu, also we ate there for lunch on the days we didnt go out for the day.
Our freinds stayed at the LIVAS at the back of us and they were very pleased with there apartments also.

There are plenty of places to eat in the evening, we recommend Steels Phoenix Bar & Grill had 3 meals there and a Sunday roast (which is best to book) and the food was lovely, great owners. Also if you go into Protaras as we did catch the bus it is only 1.50 euros where ever you go, Happy Days is a great place to eat in Protaras. Aiya Napa is also a good night out plenty of choice we had a great Chinese meal but cant remember the name but a very modern place looked like it had not been opened long.

The little cove at the Dominiki is beautiful crystal clear water, great for snorkeling also if you get the chance go to Konnos Bay just on the outskirts of Protaras heading towards Aiya Napa. Fantastic place. Cyprus is a beautiful island to explore and the Dominiki I can highly recommend. We will be back.

" We have just returned from a two week... "

We have just returned from a two week holiday at the Domniki and i cannot fault it it any way. Sonia and the entire team were excellent and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Shaun provided lovely food and it was very reasonably priced. Keith and Penny were always cheerful and happy to help even when they were run off their feet. The positioning of the hotel could not be better right on a lovely beach. Our room had excellent views and was very comfortable. We will definatley be going back next year (well providing Sonia has forgiven my husband Ray for kidnapping her precious Chelsea teddy from the bar!!)

" I have just returned from the Domniki... "

I have just returned from the Domniki Hotel with mixed feelings. Cyprus is a wonderful place the weather amazing, the beaches lovely and generally the people very friendly however the hotel was a huge dissapointment. On arriving we were told we had to pay extra for air conditioning and for use of the safety deposit box which I did not mind about until I was told it would cost an extra 40 euros and 30 euro deposit for the week. After that I realized there was no oven in the kitchen and the stove was not working, when I spoke to the management about this I was told to go to the shop to buy matches I could not believe it! I then had to argue with the owner for a a reaction as they did not seem to care but still they did nothing In the end I had to walk around the hotel asking other guests if I could to borrow a lighter while the hotel staff just sat there. The hotel is clean, has a good location overlooking the beach and is close to shops and restaurants but had poor evening entertainment and served tasteless food which was overpriced. I love Cyprus and I will be returning next year but I will not be going to the Domniki.

" We have just returned from a week... "

We have just returned from a week staying at the Domniki, and can thoroughly recommend it. We have over the years stayed at few places and can honestly say this is the best place we have ever stayed at. Whislt the decor may be a little dated, it does not detract from the charm, it is without a doubt the cleanest, friendliest place we have stayed at. The staff are so helpful, nothing but nothing is too much trouble.the pool is a must and as for the bay, don't forget your goggles for the fishes... worth the look!!! Definately going back next year.

" Just returned this morning from a... "

Just returned this morning from a fantastic week at the Domniki. We have been to Cyprus 12 times and this hotel/location has to be our favourite . The location is situated in the Pernera area of Protaras with plenty of shops and retaurants 5 mins away.

The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. The pool and surrounding areas are fantastic and the views are superb. You need to stay there to appreciate what this hotel is offering, I cannot praise it enough.

I just want to thank Sonia and her family who own the hotel for a wonderful week. They are so helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Shaun the Chef,thank you for your wonderful food.

We are returning in September and cannot wait, this will become our second home now!
