Reviews of Astreas Beach Hotel, Protaras

I am writing this review because I have just booked for my husband and I to return to the Astreas next June. We had a wonderful 2 week holiday there in June this year and couldn't fault it. After spending the last 4 years visiting Turkey we were a little apprehensive about trying somewhere new - we needn't have worried. We are in our sixties, both still work and like to combine sightseeing with a relaxing holiday. We had a fantastic apartment with a balcony overlooking the beach. It was quiet, relaxing and very clean. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful but 'not in your face' at all. One of the highlights of our visit (apart from the cruise to Egypt we had booked in advance) was, from our balcony, watching the boats sail out to the sunrise for the summer solstice, what a spectacular sight and such wonderful colours. Fig Tree Bay is a wonderful beach and we were able to get sunbeds by the waters edge leave our things there and stroll back to our apartment for lunch on the balcony making it a truly relaxing time. The sea is fantastic for a poor swimmer like me as you can walk out a long way before being out of your depth and can only be likened to a 'warm bath'. We are not 'pool' people but the Astreas pool is lovely with a good pool bar and friendly staff. Food in the local restaurants is excellent although we were a little shocked by the high prices at first (compared to Turkey). The only disappointment is that this time we have had to book with Manos (Thomas Cook) not Olympic and it is quite a lot more expensive - but worth it!

my husband and i stayed the first week in june ,we had a lovely time appartments were very nice had fab view from balcony over looking figtree bay ,maids came in every day clean towels, bed made, lovely pool area ,very nice staff ,good food ,lovely helpful waitress not sure what her name was 2 mins from main strip where all the bars and resturants + shops where but very quiet at night so you didnt get desturbed sleep ,excelent base for portarus and aya napa, will def be going back in the very near future. would recomend this place for any age group.

The apartments themselves are very basic but as you will be spending 90% of your waking time by the excellent pool or on the fantastic beach at Fig Tree bay, this is not a problem. Our towels were changed very day and our beds made with the kids toys being placed on their pillows as an extra touch.



The reception staff are very friendly and helpful if you make an effort to get to know them.



The beach bar is staffed by a chap from Mongolia who was one of the nicest people I have ever met and he speaks 8 languages and is doing an MBA at Nicosia University, so a bright man.



The snack bar near the pool is excellent value and the food is superb. The little Bulgarian waitress who works there is an absolute star and deserves as many tips as possible.



The water quality at the beach is amazing and I would recommend getting a snorkel set and head out to the rock to see a hige variety of fish and other creatures. the beach is also shallow so very safe for kids.



For Eats I would recommend the Olympus on the the walk from the apartment to the main strip, fantastic food and they love kids. We ate their 6 nights out of seven because they were so good.



All in all a fantastic holiday and highly recommended for the week we stayed in late May. The temp was 35 degrees but was nice with the breeze you get in the afternoon.

I would like to say that I enjoyed my recent holiday in this hotel. Staff very friendly and atmosphere was fantastic.



I would recommend this hotel to anyone. I and partner had an overall excellent stay and would definitely return to this hotel. It was all we had hoped for.

We have just returned from a fortnights stay at the Astreas Beach Hotel Apartments in Protaras, Cyprus. We were worrying before we went as these apartments are classed as a 2.5 star but we need not have worried. These apartments are brilliant.



The rooms are spacious, well equipped and cleaned daily, the pool is large enough with 2 children’s pools and a lovely pool man called Yanush from Poland who only put 2 inches of water in one of the children’s pools on a daily basis so our baby could crawl in it. There is a cafe which serves lovely fresh food and drinks and a poolside bar with seating in the pool.



It is less than a 2 minutes walk to the end of Fig Tree Bay beach with a lovely cove to fish or paddle which is safe enough for kids and enough watersports to keep everybody happy.



The hotel itself is about a 2 minutes walk of "The Strip" which makes it close enough to go to all the bars and restaurants but quiet enough for the kids to sleep with the windows open. (This is the opposite end of "The Strip" to McDonalds, passed the fountain, if anyone has been to Protaras before).



I would definitely go back to these apartments again and would recommend them to anyone of any age. (We went in a party of 10, the eldest being 60 and the youngest 10 months)
