Christabelle Hotel Apartments

We came in our room and did not find control for aircondition!!!!!! Then we went to reception to ask for it! They told us that we don't need it!!!!!!!!!!! Automatic aircondition!!!!!!!!!!! Never heart such strange thing!
Aircondition was a HEATER!!!!!!!!!!
At the end we spend two hours to be in the room were aircondition work!!!! We had to ware our shoos in the room because flore was very dirty!!!!!!!!!! We could not open a window becouse opposite to our window was windows of other building!!!!!!
We did not even try to go to pool because it was crouded with drunk people!!!!!!

I stayed in the Christabelle with my boyfriend & family, we loved the hotel all staff were very friendly and it was only a 5 minute walk away from shops and bars.
Murphys bars just across the road from the hotel is run by a young couple (Pete & Dawn) who were lovely and made us feel very welcome, I would recommend going for a drink or something to eat at Murphys if you want to stay local.
Overall we loved our holiday in Ayia Napa and will be returning in August 2009 as our friends are getting married at Nissi bay, so unfortunately we wont be staying at the Christabelle as we are all staying in Hotels on Nissi Beach but will taking a trip to Murphys bar one night.
There was one down fall to the hotel, the maids!
200 cigarettes and a few other gifts were stolen from our room the day before we flew home which I was extremely angry about, it could only have been the maids as there was no sign of forced entry. So I would advise that you dont leave anything lying around in your rooms, but apart from that the pool was lovely, the food was nice and the drinks were a reasonable price so overall I give this hotel 9/10 loved it!!!

When we arrrived I thought it was ok. very spacious 2 bedroom apartment. only one room had air conditioning that worked and the room I was in had an ants nest behind it so even if it did work im not sure if it would have been a good idea to turn it on. If your value your sleep I wouldnt recommend this hotel because from early hours the pool bar music is turned on at full blast. the receptionist were very friendly and helpful although we asked to be sent an electrician and who seemed to know nothing about electrics. location was good. The house keeping was inconsiderate letting themselves in and making a lot of noise talking loudly to one another but were nice enough to give my camera to reception after we had checked out. all in all i would stay there again if i was ever to return back to ayia napa

We have just returned from what was meant to be a weeks stay at the Christabelle Hotel in Ayia Napa but we had to check out after the first night. We did book last minute but the accommodation was named so after reading reviews of the hotel on several sites we assumed it was basic but nothing could of prepared us for just how bad the apartments actually where. After being shown to our apartment which was down a road with no streetlights and plenty of local residents the human and animal kind which was approx 5 mins walk away from the reception, the hotel and the pool, we were really disappointed. The pictures I have posted tell there own stories of how badly run down the apartments are but whilst phoning the holiday rep to see about getting moved 3 people had formed a que at the reception desk reporting items being stolen (ipods, jewellery etc) from there room and the only people who had access to the room during that day was hotel staff. The apartments are definately nothing more than a hostel and should be avoided where possible.

I went for two weeks with 17 friends!
our welcome was amazing and was shown straight to our rooms!
The staff were friendly and helpful and were always about for you to find.
The rooms are very basic but you need no more when your there to have fun.
rooms were cleaned every other day and new towels left.
Food and drink at the hotel was very cheap and affordable, even for us 18 year olds.
A couple of shops are just across the road from the rooms and was a 5 minute walk to the nightlife! and when i say nightlife i mean 40+ bars and clubs! it was amazing!
Also very close to the best beach on the island and only short drive to the best water park around! both worth the journey!
We did so much in the two weeks including the above and dolphine safari, booze cruise, beach party, went to the sunday market, rode camels....the list is never ending.
The hotel was exctly how it was explained in the book and the staffs help and friendlyness made our holiday one to remeber!
A deffinate for anyone wanting a fun, fullpacked holiday!!! x

Myself and 5 others stayed here last june, one word! AMAZING!!!!!!! We had a great time (apart from me passing out with the 45 degree weather on the first day and ending up in hospital). Thank you to Sam the bar man saving my life! Best bar man ever! Happy, friendly staff! Great little place for eating just around the corner, family run, lovely people! So good we are returning this year to see them! Good night life also, one thing i would say though is PLEASE watch your drink girls as sleazy cypriate guys are not so good! Happy bar just along the street is prob one of the best laughs you will have all holiday with there rediculous party games!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!

Absolutely love love love the Christabelle. Having stayed here 4 times already would highly recommend to anyone. Being now in our late 20's it is the place to be. You can get food at any time day or night, the pool bar staff are more than happy to oblige (no pun intended). Sam, Timmie we love you guys so much. Sam is fab will keep you entertained and fully drunk! Timmie keeps the food coming especially when you get back at 6am and need a munchie.
All the staff are very helpful and the cleaning girls. Whenever we had a problem (there weren't many). Only 5 mins from the square for all the clubs and bars. Do watch out for the pr's and mopeds. Rooms are clean although we stayed in the annex as the rooms had just been refurbished. Although noise can be an issue everyone is on holiday. Best bit every part. Worst bit cant re book for 2008 as Libra don't do it any more hugely disappointed!

There were five of us on holiday last year. Our ages ranged between 23 and 65 and we all had a fantastic time. The pool area is very clean and is nice to sit by.
There are lots of groups and couples but not a lot of families. The bar area is open 24 hours which is fantastic and there is a great happy hour in the afternoon. The rooms are quite basic but have everything that you need and they are clean.
The only bad thing I could say about the Christabelle is the walk to the beach as it’s a fair walk and there is a hill but it is very close to the square for a night time!!
This was our second time there and definitely not our last.

The annexes are basic but everything you will need is there they are not far from the main street of action and are in easy walking distance for you to stagger home after a night of partying.
You have full use of the pool, which is clean and the pool bar although quite when we arrived as the season was just ending.
The cleaning service was good they came round everyday to replenish toiletries and the beds were changed every other day.
Overall a good place to stay in Ayia Napa as you spend most of your time partying...
