Reviews of Pambos Magic Studios, Ayia Napa

Ok so me and 3 mates went to napa in july 3rd 08 at pambos magic and it was a brilliant holiday with club 18-30 we have already booked up again for next year at pambos magic.

The rooms are only for sleeping and drinking!!!

aircon costs money per night

towels cost 5 euros. must be returned!

music played 24/7 at these apartments it is a very loud place to stay. its a total boys holiday.

club 18-30 costs 300euros to go with them as soon as you get there! but that get you into the clubs and booze cruised for free with about 20 hours free bar included.

these apartments are for young single who constantly party!

amazing holiday for the lads!

Hi all,



I stayed in the Pambos magic between 23rd July - 7th August now being a 21 year old girl I didn't mind too much about the reviews, bugs can be squashed and fans can be bought!!



myself however experience something totally different!!



Good POINT:



the hotel is based bang in the middle of ayia napa a great location for the square and all the clubs!! great nightlife you cant beat it!!





Bad Points:



The accomadation was basic not extremelly clean but livable, the air con only works in some rooms as i found out on my first day when my air con decided to blow warm air around the room NICE!!



there is a nightclub underneath the hotel which is open till 7 in the morning and as the hotel has no security strangers were left free to roam our hotel. So when me and my friends woke up one morning to find a guy laying outside our room with his pants down his ankles unconcience we were shocked, then we were even more shocked to see he'd defecated right outside our door GROSS!!! we went down to tell the reception who had no idea it was there!! great hey!



we went out for the day and when we got back our rep had told us how they thought it was one of us who has done it!! real nice.



and also the sheets are hardly ever changed!! my friend caught empitigo from them!!



I would seriously stay away from this place its rotten!! Stay next door at the tsokkos its a little bit more but worth it!

after reading the reviews me and the girls was dreading our holiday!!!



me and 11 girls all aged 18 went for 2 weeks on july 23rd and i must say we had the time of our lives and didnt want to come home!!!



yes the hotel is basic ... yes it is loud at night ...yes its not the cleanest hotel you will ever see but what do you expect!!! its ayia napa and an 18-30's holiday! do you realy spend that much time in your hotel room!!!



its ideal as you walk out the back doors and your at the main square with all the night life, i reccomend linekers bar and castle club for an awesome night!



food in the area is good, again out the back doors and turn left there are some nice little restaraunts or out the front door theres mcdonalds, k.f.c and others. oh and for dinner and breakfast (if your out of bed) zorbas is like ayia napas version or subway! awesome.



alot of people are put of by the 18-30's rep and they have a reputation for being pushy but we found them to be brilliant, and i recomend the packages they do as they are worth the money!



the only down fall was that we could not all get rooms next to each other but this was never a problem as everyone we met down our coridoors was soo nice.



i reccomend pambos magic to anyone looking to have an eventfull holiday ! loud, lively and blooming awesome!



enjoyed it that much me and my friend will be there working 2009!

Have to admit that I was kinda dreadin Pambos Magic after reading all the reviews but went with 7 of my friends and totally loved it!! Party central with 24 hour pool, bar and off license, everything u need!!! Rooms r basic but fine, and no problem getting to sleep once the balcony doors closed, would def go back to these apartments, exactly what you want if you want to party for 2 weeks!!!! Pambolicious!!!!

I have just come back after going for a week with a group of 6 girls all aged 20, if your 18-25 definately a good place to stay.

the rooms are very basic but if all your doing is sleeping and getting ready there then it is perfect.

would definately go back next year but for 2 weeks

the hotel accomodates for 18-30's so is not really suitable for families with young children.

the bar is open from 10am til 7am the next morning!!



about 5 minutes walk to pubs/clubs

about 10 minutes walk to the beach

plenty of good food restaurants and cafes within 10 minutes walk of it

Seriously, u need to be 18-23 to stay at this "hotell"!

Party all night and some Israelis singing "Wonderwall" for nachspiel in the hallways

are _NOT_ particulary fun!



When we arriwed at 11 pm, a drunk kid was sleeping at the stairs, had to carry luggage over him.



And ANTS.... they were freakin everywhere. All of our "kitchen" were crawling with ants. Lifted a cup, and voila; ants inside and all over... disgusting.



In the one week we stayed there there was NO CLEANING whatsoever! No new towels, nothing!



If you booked this place; CANCEL!!!



better try to get a reservation at "Green Village" 50 meters down the road, looked much nicer there...

Well where shall i begin for a start i read pleny of rview before i went to the pambos and i must admit that i wasnt lookin forward 2 goin.. im now glad i stayed at the pambos as it was party central the pubs n dancin was 2mins walk and wen u were bk 2 the aptms u found yourself gtin in 2 the bikin n down 2 the pool for the after party even with ur own carryout wat other place would let u do that :) the pool is CLEAN but they could b doin with better sunloungers as most of them are broken, these aptms do cater for club 18-30 would not reccomend familys or young couples who aint in 2 a good drink n a party otherwise all u mad party animals plese trust me and go 2 the pambos....



Yes i will agree with 1 report wer the maid does come early but she will shout in service before enterin on the room so if u say no she wont come in... also yes it does cost u 5 euro for a towel so eitha use ur own or do wat we dun asked the maid for some she hasnt a clue tak them bk at end of hol n u gt the muni bk the air on does cost u a 22euro deposit and cost us 7.50euro for 1 nyt but they dont turn it off so we had the air con for free for 2wks where as my FRIEND payed 112 euro for the 2wks it does get rather chilly threw the nyt with it on so mak sure u turn it off or wrap up...



club aqua lies undernreath the aptms which is a dancin opens at half 3 in mornin and stays open 2 sunrise, we tryed it as we got free passes but was full of sleezy foreign MEN so ladies stay clear unless thats what tikles ur fancy...



The staff at the recepion arent helful and want muni muni muni but u always hav ur REPS who will do there best for yeah if the can help our reps wer SOOZ & JACK :) loved wee sooz 2 bits mind getin hur blazin 1nyt love how the scottish party soozz :)

will defo b returnin nxt year miss the place so so much



LOVE THE PAMBOS

I read plenty of reviews before heading to ayia napa, before leaving i had no confidence in Pambo Magic whatsoever, infact i was dreading going and tried to change accomadation at the last minute but tickets were already printed and sent out.



When arriving at pambos late on the night of arrival i was greeted by a strong stench of what i can only describe as 'sick' in the main entrance of the appartments.



went to the room, it was very small, definately not for living quarters, all i could do in pambos magic was sleep if that, i was out at 9 every morning and didnt return till late that night.



after the first nights sleep, i went requesting towels and toilet paper from reception as my room hadnt appeared to have any. 5 Euro for a towel and 25 cents for toilet paper, i had never heard of this service ever before and believe me i am well travelled.



The rooms were like saunas, air con cost me 72 euro for the week and it was as much use as a chocolate fireguard, the only use it had was that it drown out the noises from residents at 6 in the morning.



The pool was the worst looking one i had seen in a long time, It was big no problem but it was dirty and murky. i never went near it.



irregular maid service, dirty sheets on the bed at arrival says it all. the communal toilets and showering facilities below the reception were an absolute disgrace, i went to use the toilet once on the last day, toilet paper was anywhere but on the roll, didnt know whether they were male or female, all the light bulbs were out (Smashed), there was one light above one of the cubicles, that was enough for me, couldnt wait to get home after that.



When heading home i met 2 other couples who had stayed there also, they hadnt anything decent to say about Pambos either, they spent most of there time at friends appartments somewhere close by cause they couldnt bare to be near the place.



One good thing about Pambos Magic was the location, Very close to the busy nightlife.



Would definately not recommend Pambos magic to stay at, Definately not for couples, Its for Nieve young teenagers who know no better, but then again im sure there would even be better places for the party atmosphere.



This is an honest report, trust me i am well travelled, Ayia Napa was excellent but if i was to go back i wouldnt be anywhere near the square or pambos magic.



Please pay attention to this report.

i read so many awful reviews about pambos magic but iv just come back from staying there for 2 weeks and its nowhere near as bad as people say.the rooms are basic and not as clean as they could be but i had such as wicked time it was the last thing in my mind.the only 2 things i didnt like was that i didnt find the hotel staff wernt very helpful-but that wernt to bad as i could always speak to a rep.and second the lady who clean the room would come in at 10am whilst you're in bed and she made so much noise-not good after partying all nite lol.there was always noise and music on but as you're staying 5 mins from the square its gona be like that.i found all other guest were friendly and there was no end to the fun and entertainment.

all i can say is me and my mate had a wicked time and people who moan about pambos oviously arent choosing the right holiday destination for them.

Basically depending on what type of holiday your after you'll either love or hate this hotel. We went as a group of 10 lads and had the best holiday ever. Everyone in this hotel is up for a laugh. We spent many nights gettin in at 4-6am then diving straight in the pool for another hour whilst having a drink from the pool bar with other like-minded guests. Its not strange to see people drunk messing around by the pool during the day either. Theres a little snack bar by the side of the pool and the food they sell is pretty good. Yes the rooms are shit but if all you need is a shower and somewhere to sleep your hangover off till the next night of drinking then its fine. If your young and a bit boring and like a quiet day by the pool followed by a few drinks and bed before 12 then youll hate it. theres a nightclub under the hotel that has a pool inside too called club aqua. I went once but didn't like it as it was full of boys and a bit gay maybe it just wasn't our night tho??. our reps where sooz and helen and they were spot on. they were always up for a laugh and never got the face on or anything. top birds. The hotel is 5 mins walk from everything and a taxi to nissi beach is 8 euros. drinks are expensive in nightclubs and bars 5-10 euros for a bottle of beer so take plenty of cash.

the sun beds were broken the music went on all the way through the night, very dirty and untidy place. the pools had mess in and broken glass. I wouldnt stay there again if you paid me.

Just back from a 2 week stay in the pambos magic with a party of four girls. After reading the horrendous reviews before we left we were all aprehensive so i would just like to set the record straight. These apartments are absolutely fine, basic but clean, exactly what you need for a clubbing holiday. The pools were great too and the location was excellent! In a nutshell, don't listen to all the bad reviews that are clearly from people that will complain about anything. Who needs five star accomodation when all you do in your apartment is sleep off a hangover?? Enjoy! I would go back tomorrow if i could!!! :)

The hotel was dirty and stank of stale urine. The swimming pool area was full of rubbish and people where aloud in the pool on the night. The air conditioning in our room broke and we had to wait a day to get it fixed, the toilet blocked and the shower leaked a couple of times leaking water into the room.



The reception area didn't have air conditioning and there was no lift to get to our room once arriving at the hotel, leaving us to drag our cases up two flights of stairs.



I would not recommend staying here....

Stayed at Pambos in sept 2007, had an awesome time in Napa. Was a bit apprehensive at first because of the late date, but the life by the pool and in napa was still quality. Pambos pool and bar great crack during the day very much for the younger gen ie 18 30 as its meant to be. Rooms left a little to be desired, bathroom tiny and a bit smelly part from that didnt spend much time there. loads to do in day, Nissi beach is a must. All round Pambos was great loved Napa going again 2008.

Excellent location but our room was very small, the maid service was infrequent to say the least (not great when your toilet paper has got to go in the bin) even worse though was the pathetic excuse for an air conditioning unit!



Loved Ayia Napa and the area but Pambos Magic was a big let down!
