Here are my comments on this hotell,

Bed & breakfast for a whole month leaves alot to be desired most morning coffee cold food cold, no choice same every day.

Nearly all sunbeds were broken, no sit up position.

Pool was checked every day, but i never saw them clean it, steps to pool were also unsafe, only one rung on both sides, moved as you climbed into pool.

The childrens pool had a broken grill were little toes could get stuck & seriously indjured.

Quite a few familys were feeding this lovely cat & her two kittens, so when one family left another one took over, the little black kitten had an eye problem, so mr Fisher & his family took her to vets, but the only thing we could do, was put eye ointment on to make its days comfortable, she was going to be blind.

The gardener was seen hitting the cat with a stick blowing smoke in the kittens faces, also throwing water at them, which made us very angry.

the mum cat didnt beg or sit looking at you when you were eating, she just stayed in a corner looking after her kittens.

This bangladesh person kept saying he was going to get rid off them.

Sure enough one morning to our sheer disgust,my daughter came down to pick me up, she lives in the village. i could hear a kitten crying,the evil person had put the ginger kitten, in a bag & tied it, they had been there all night. the black kitten didnt make it, there were children crying lots of angry people, Mr fisher took a photoe of the poor defenceless kitten which had been suffocated. we all got together & got mum spayed, she is now living at my daughters place with ginger puss. this whole experience was very upsetting, i went to bed each night all i could see was this poor little kitten laying there starved of oxygen. A VERY UNHAPPY GUEST. sheila sutcliffe

It's all been said elsewhere - the hotel is modern, very clean, and the staff are great. The pool is large, well maintained, and except on a couple of occasions when there were children's parties (when it was hell!!) quiet. Definitely need a car, and if not eating at the hotel, you will need to travel to get to a restaurantduring the week - local places are only open Thursday (maybe), Friday and Saturday. We had no trouble taking food and drink into the hotel, and eating on the balcony.



The location is bizarre - it really is in a residential area, and although the beach is walkable, I wouldn't want to do it with children.



As a base for a holiday where you are prepared to sort out your own transport it's ideal - probably because of the location, it was excellent value.



Don't, however expect to treat it as a one stop resort holiday - apart from the pool, there's nothing to do.



We will defiinitely return.

Staff-- More than helpful,...

Staff-- More than helpful, polite & courteous--ready to offer advice on places to go and see , especially the quieter beaches.



Location- As other reviews a Car is a must-the location is ideally siuated to travel on the M/way or minor roads. There is eveidence of futher building/developments so expect the area to become more built up in time at the moment it is relaively quiet. Bus stop a short walk away and regular service to Limmasol with a fixed price any distance. Short walk to local shop and Tavernas.



Food - Our half board package was good value, the staff will do you a "pack up" if asked, dont expect " Gordon Ramsey" but we found a good selection on offer although a vegetarian would have a ltd choice.Also the sweet selection is limited, the resteraunt does indeed now have its music on, we found the cost of soft drinks high ie 2.5 euros for a coke, so we broke the rules and bought our own in. Personally we had no problems with the local water and mineral content and it saved us a fortune on bottled water. Local beer is reasonably priced.



Facilities - The Outside pool is indeed clean and checked each day and we never had to fight for a sun bed, be warned local school teens are allowed to use the pool at weekends and during holidays if they pay, we had 3 groups of 8-10 youngsters come 3 times during our 11 day stay, they are polite but obviously can get lively and tend to stay most of the day, although the staff sort out any misbehaviour, you may not be reading your paperback in as much peace as you anticipated. We found the indoor pool and sauna closed during our stay, the gym was available but no one seemed to use it, and we did not receieve receive a welcome pack so in this sense the Hotel undersells itself. The grounds are spacious and well maintained.



Accomodation - As described spacious clean, TV about 16 channels but the majority are obviously in Greek--no Sky TV- this also applies to the downstairs large screen. Some pleasant Mountain views depending on what apartment you stay in.



Summary - Yes would use again, the price on our package was excellent--However the Euro was adopted in Jan 2008 and all round prices are starting to rise considerably. Suits those who prefer a quieter location, we saw no sign of in house entertainment, but this would suit those seeking peace and quiet. Do your research before you go, be aware of the "Communual Aspects" of the use of the outside pool and you should have a good holiday, as the area changes the Hotel may loose some of its charm but that is true of any location--ENJOY !.

We Booked our holiday last minute via Teletext and after reading the reviews we were looking forward to staying in this hotel with all the facilities etc.

We must say that the hotel is very clean and the rooms were cleaned every day.

On the down side however the facilities such as the gym, inside swimming pool and the sauna were not available as it was the winter season and the hotel said it was not viable to have these facilities open? The bar closed at 10.45pm and notices in the lift informing guest that NO food or drink could be taken into rooms from outside. So if you needed a drink after 10.45pm your screwed unless you want to break the hotel law! No tea or coffe facilities in the room and you cannot drink the tap water beacuse of the high mineral content, so be warned if your staying in the winter period.

The outside pool is not heated so get ready for an ice bath it is however clean.

The food is OK with about 4 choices plus a starter and dessert, breakfast is what you would expect but arrive early as it does look a bit tired after a couple of hours! The weird part of this restaurant is that you sit in silence with no background music, you could of heard a pin drop. Imagine eating in a libary and you'll know what I mean.

The overall stay was OK but a little attention to detail would'nt go a miss, Have Fun!

I booked a late holiday for my son and his girlfriend through Freedom Direct. Although there was a bit of a mix up with obtaining contact details for this relatively new hotel I am pleased to be able to report they had a fantastic holiday,in fact they say the best ever.



The hotel is not central and if they had not hired a car, for collection at the airport then they would have had restrictive sightseeing, but they are still talking about the great time they had. The fantastic hotel, food,swimming pool etc. It is a walk to the nearest beach, but easily reached with a gentle stroll. Viewing their holiday snaps tonight.

New hotel, only about 18 months open. It shows a little with organisation (light bulbs a bit lacking in our room and outside lights around pool not switched on) but the welcome was wonderful.



Our room was really nice and the food was wonderful. The staff really friendly and helpful and it was one of the most relaxing holidays yet.



Not too far from the tourist area, we walked in, in 40 mins (you could probably do it faster than that, I'm not that fit!) but we hired a car and set off touring the island again!! (5th time back).



Location of hotel means easy to travel about as close enough to motorway without trying to get out of city first, but far enough away not to hear the traffic.



Overall, wonderful hotel, potential for a fantastic hotel. Will most definitely go back again and again...

The hotel is only 1 year old....

The hotel is only 1 year old. First class accommodation. Spotlessly clean inside and out.



All the staff were very helpful. Very quiet location but only 5 minutes drive from the seafront. Lovely village with many traditional tavernas.



Ideally located for access to the motorways and the rest of the island.



Will be staying again and again.
