Anthea Hotel Apts

This summer i stayed at anthea with 2 other girls and with 2 friends staying nearby in anesis. When we arrived we got given our key and they showed us our room etc. 1 of my friends was freaking out because the appartments were so basic and not up to her 5* family holiday standards but my other friend and i expected what we got. anthea is so busy because the complex is so big and you meet so many people that are staying there and can pre drink with them etc. it's good at night when you come back as there are always other people about to walk to macdonalds with or having steaming banter with! we skinny dipped on our first night with a group of boys but that didn't go down too well with the staff but oh well. during the day the main pool is where to be as that is where the bar is. prices are decent and food is good too. we got most our drinks bought as there were generous boys around our pool! everyone's just up for a laugh during the day dancing in the pool and playing games, and my other 2 friends who weren't staying at anthea came to the pool and never had a problem getting in. there are steps right behind the apartments that take you straight onto the square which is fab as it takes 2 minutes to get to. nissi beach isn't far away either. there's a taxi rank across from anthea, quad bikes are next to it and supermarkets are right there too. we didn't really have to bother with the hotel staff because we were either sunbathing, drinking or sleeping while at the aps. the only bad things are that the air con is hideous it's so expensive and in some apps is pathetic but it's not something that really affected my holiday. anthea is perfect if your 18-30s and want a wild active holiday.

Just come back from a week at the anthea with the lads, and can honestly say I couldnt of asked for more. The atmosphere was great, the room was great and was regularly visited by the maid, the hotel itself was also very clean and organised. The hotel bar does good food and good drinks with regular kareoke. I wouldnt recommend this as a family hotel but if your going away with friends then this is the place to stay!

A group of 16 girls and I booked one weeks holiday in Aiya Napa and stayed at the Anthea Apartments. After reading reviews we were a bit dubious about where we were staying.
We neednt have worried. The apartments are in the best location. A very quick walk to the main strip, right opposite a supermarket and macdonalds and on the same road as the main shops and bakeries, eurobakery is a must!
The rooms were very clean when we arrived, the bathrooms were alright. The air conditioning cost 57 euros for one week but you got 8 euro back as a deposit. Our group had 5 rooms in total, in one the air conditioning did break but they did come and fix it and gave them a refund. You do need the air con as it does get very hot in the rooms.
The maids came in nearly everyday, if you are still in your room they do ask you if you still want them to clean. I would recommend to hire out a safety deposit box that are located by reception. 20 euros for one week and you get an 8 euro deposit back.
Aiya Napa itself is amazing, there is something for everyone. Always something to do. there is a bus to Nissi beach that costs 1 euro, this beach is a must!
We had an absolutly amazing time and didnt want to leave.

I have just returned from Ayia Napa with my boyfriend(I am 28 and he is 23)we had stayed in Ayia Napa last year so we knew what to expect eg busy nightlife,we stayed at different apartments last year that were lovely might I add.
We had already read reviews about Anthea before we went and decided to reserve judgement until we saw it for ourselves, however we were right to be worried and the drama began as soon as we arrived at the apartments.
We were taken to our ground floor apartment up a big hill away from the main reception area (which worried me slightly)we were welcomed by a big group of lads sat by the pool drunk chanting loudly, people were swimming in the pool as well (at 11.30pm) there were items of clothing, bottles, food, rubbish thrown all round the pool.
Our room was basic and the toilet was coming away from the wall! but clean and the balcony directly looked onto the pool area however the swimming pool only had 4 sun loungers (2 of which were broken)
We tried getting to sleep however it was difficult due to the constant loud music blaring out from the apartments, at 6.30am we were awoken by very loud smashing of bottles and screaming and shouting from some girls, a staff member must have heard the noise and was shouting at whoever it was outside threatening to call the Police. We woke up the next day to find 5 cleaners sweeping up broken glass from around the pool and sick on our balcony.
we spoke to the rep and demanded to be moved to other apartments however apparently they were all fully booked and if we was to move then Anthea would charge us a CANCELLATION FEE PLUS we would have to pay a minimum of 200 EUROS for alternative accomodation! I was fuming (to put it politely) and we refused to pay this instead we were moved to another room still at the Anthea on the 3rd day!. Our second night still in the same room was even worse and I woke up in tears as i was frightened, a massive fight had erupted outside between some lads, you could hear them punching each other, it was that loud It sounded like they were on our balcony and we feared the balcony window was going to come through!
we were evdentually moved and we were on a top floor apartment that had its own roof terrace, it was a decent sized room and was cleaned everyday- we tried as best we could to enjoy the rest of our holiday.
We was unable to use the facilities such as the pools due to the sun loungers being broken and the amount of people by the pool and in it- it was packed with people everyday!
It is close to amenities such as bars, restaurants etc and the Anthea bar staff are nice. If you like a holiday where you dont get any sleep what so ever due to the constant noise from groups of young people 24/7 crawling around drunk and fighting then this is the place for you.
As we were handing our keys in to leave (thank god) a lady was infront of me complaining to recpetion that her room had been broken into! Im just glad we wasnt there for 2 weeks!

Most amazing holiday ive been on! Got back last night after a week in ayia napa with 3 of my girlfriends and already wish i was back there! How anyone can fault this hotel is beyond me.. it was a cheap hotel but was alot better then we expected after reading some of the reviews on here! Arrived at around midnight and were checked in quickly and shown to our room which was a decent size! Maids came in 6 out of the 7 days we were there to change the beds, give us fresh towels, empty bins and give us more toilet roll! Id read reviews about things being stolen from hotel rooms and although we did pay for and use a safe we also left purses, jewellery, cameras and blackberrys in the apartment on a number of occasions and never had anything taken from the room. Kitchen is very basic but we stayed in and cooked 2 nights and could quite easily put together a simple meal. Staff were friendly and helpful. We asked for more towels and toilet roll which were brought to the room within the hour. Main pool area is good with chart music played through out the day and snack bar selling nice food! Also only a 2/3 minute walk to ayia napa square and has a mcdonalds and big supermarket opposite! Perfect hotel for young people going to napa for the nightlife! Id 100% go back there!

We arrived at the Anthea Hotel Apartments in the early hrs and were allocated our room very quickly. On entering our room we were overpowered by the smell of cigerette smoke. I myself a smoker felt phyicaly sick with the smell. On further invesigation I could even smell smoke on the quilt covers. Puke they were also stained. After complaining the room was cleaned again and the next day 2 fresh bed covers arrived. The room was self catering and there was very little equipment (for cooking) in the room not even a plactic measuring jug. I'd recommed if u plan to cook in the apartment that u you bring everything from a lighter to lite the gas cooker to a tin opener, strainer and measuring jug. The rooms were cleaned daily and sheets were changed every other day. The staff were friendly approachable and quick to sort out any problems. Unfortunitly for myself and my 10 year old child we were unable to get any sleep while there. The noise level was Horrendous!Anthea Hotel Apartments are fine for young and livly but not for families.

I went to napa with 11 other lads and had probably the best holiday ever for nightlife, beaches ect. The location of the hotel is really good, with 2 big supermarkets straight opposite. Pool was clean and so was most the room. They don't really mind what you do as long as you get out the pool when the guard says too!! However .. The receptionist are useless and really RUDE, the air con is just as useless and the hobbs in our rooms didnt work. Maids were horrible and all they did was shout at 9 o clock in the morning, never had clean towels either. The escapades rep there is good but waffles on.

I was the main person booking a group friends holiday and became quite alarmed and regretful after reading the reviews about the hotel. However i was glad that i was more than pleasantly surprised. The highlight was the 3min commute to the strip from out hotel and convenience of the cheap supermarket and the transport shop.
When we arrived late in the night the reception staff was pleasant and welcoming. The only worry i began to have was when the man led us right to the back of the hotel in what looked to be a dingy alleyway. However we was more than greatful to receieve a car parking area and quite spot from the noisey road.
Going inside the hotel was more than a delight to find the living room, bathroom ad bedroom spaceous clean and tidy. To be fair the only thing that i was not happy with, was the the third fourth beds were part of a soft bed which was hard and with a thin mattress. So i went to request another mattress and was given one immediately. I also notified the staff the sofa bed slab had two broken planks and at 7am the next morning they came to fix it.
Our room was regularly clean and when we requested more tissues or towels, although there was a language barrier between us and the maid, when she understood she tried to help and accomodate to our needs.
When we went out there we were treated good, not like all inclusive or half board but it defiantely surpassed my original preconceptions, so i will be back next year to the same hotel because it was by far worth my money and my standards. I also have travelled a lot and have had self catering only twice but i was more tha satisfied with the ANTHEA services. ...
And if your going out there i hope you do too

I went to the anthea apartments 2 weeks ago and wouldnt go there again even if it was free. We went through Olympic holidays who i wont be travelling with again. When we arrived we were pointed in the direction of our apartment which wasnt even in the same building and up the street. When we eventually found it , it was disgusting. The smell in the whole apartment was horrible the fridge had cobwebs and was black with dirt, the bath and toilet hadnt been cleaned the floors where covered in stains along with the sheets and beds. When we went to reception to ask if we could have another room we were told to come back when we did we were told there were no other rooms take it or leave it. Later we went to buy air conditioning and a safe which isnt even in the same room (very unrealiable and unsafe) we were again told to call back later. AFter half an hour of waiting at the desk we were finally addressed. Then on the 2nd week I was in the apartment and my friends were out I heard someone in , I went into the main living area to find the maid with her hand in my handbag searching it and when i shouted out she dropped the handbag but had money in her hand which she claimed was hers ( although policy of the hotel maids are not allowed money on them whilst in the aparment) I went straight away to reception and reported this to the manager which he was very unhelpful and told me this has never happened befor (which i know is untrue as on he same 2 weeks a few other people staying at the hotel had stuff go missing) he then told me the maid would be searched so i rang my olympic holiday rep Lauren who had words with the manager. They both came back and said that it was not possible to keep the maids out and that I could contact the police but they would not. They also said they would try and organise a time for the maids to come in whilst we were in the apartments. This did not happen the time arranged was 10am we would wait until 12 and then go out and coincidently the maids came in whilst we were out and did not clean but emptied the bathroom bin. As the olympic rep did not get back to us about the situation with the maid I again went and asked the manager of the hotel who told me the maid was searched and had money on her however he would not be doing anything about it as the maid said she found the money in the street. All in all this place is a dump!!!!
