The Nissi Beach Hotel is truly amazing and is the ideal location for a wedding or honeymoon.
We enjoyed a 2 week stay with family and friends and stayed in one of the beach bungalows, which were great overlooking the gardens with the comfort of our daughter being able to play safely!
We had our wedding reception in the hotel and the hotel staff are well and truly experts in this field. They are excellent with attention to detail and the service and attention given is the best ever.
The facilities at the hotel and the pool/beach are brilliant, also are the hotel gardens, all clean and very safe!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to have a beautiful time, in a beautiful hotel.

Not one to moan, but on this occasion I will take this time out to say that after paying £2400 for the two of us for a week, was a touch expensive and therefore did not expect to pay for loungers on the beach. Why can’t the hotel give passes out to guests?
Small water bottles in the mini bar £1.40 CYP pounds, whats that all about and being charged to use tennis equipment.
Beware of the cash hungry waiters who love being tipped as well that like to promise fresh fish the next day for lunch. Fresh Fish after shelling out £2400 I don’t expect anything less than fresh fish.
I do hope that the hotel does read this and take these points on board. I don’t mind paying money but I just felt I was a little miffed by these points.

Fantastic Hotel
This is such a nice hotel I’m so pleased that we picked this one over the other hotels in the area.
Location - we wanted we wanted to be near enough to Ayia Napa to go in the evenings but far enough from all the hustle and bustle etc. The brochure said its about a 15 min walk to Ayia Napa? yes it is a 15 min walk to the start of the town but if its the bars and restaurants you want its about a 35 min walk at least. Its not a bad walk though lots to see. Even though was quite a walk we still did it every night and there bars, shops on way so you can always stop off.
The taxis into town were £4 CYP each way, which is about £5 English pound, quite expensive for a 5 min ride. Outside the hotel (not directly outside) there are a few shops, a supermarket a few restaurants and a bar (karaoke). If you walk towards Ayia Napa along the main road you are spoilt for choice for eating out there are so many restaurants - Italian, Steak house, Cypriot, Greek.
Hotel - I loved it, there is nothing I could fault about it. When we arrived the porter took our bags to our room. The rooms are not massive I’ve stayed in bigger but easily enough space for 2. As we arrived late we couldn't see the view, there are a lot of trees so I thought the view would be restricted (even though we paid the supp) the following morning when we woke up and opened the curtains, I couldn't of expected anything better then the view in front of us. It is amazing you can see the whole beach from the room. If don't pay the extra for the sea view room I think your allocated along the driveway into the hotel (didn't seem to be part of the main hotel e.g. there were no lifts its like separate block) I don't think you actually see the road as lots of trees but if you have the choice you should def upgrade. The main part of the hotel has a big garden area, it is so pretty and well looked after, and there are so many bird cages dotted around with hundreds of birds in them, and there are even 2 pelicans which walk around.
Food - we decided to do B&B only as we wanted to eat out each night, breakfast was good, wide choice, same as any other European hotel, cereals, breads, hot- breakfast, staff were very friendly. We did stay at the hotel one night for the dinner, they have a different theme each night, e.g. Italian, Chinese, Mexican. We went to the Italian, it was def worth the £11pp as its buffet so its as eat as much as you want. We never really stayed at the hotel passed 9pm so not really sure what the entertainment was like, there was always music being played or someone singing/dancing while we were leaving.
Pool - I was a bit worried about the pool, as there didn't seem to be any pics of it unlike all the other hotels. But there was nothing to worry about its also nice. It’s not huge unlike some of these hotels nearby but its big enough. It’s a really nice layout all the sun lounges are all around the pool (free to use) and with all the gardens surrounding the pool area it makes it so nice. They have a snack bar at the pool side but it’s very expensive, the food is very good though.
Beach - This is def the best beach I have seen in Europe I cant imagine that you can get any better. Its is lovely.
The hotel is in the best location to. As the hotel is set on the beach all you have to do is walk through the grounds of the hotel to get to it. There is a section especially reserved for the hotel and it costs £3 cyp for 2 beds and a umbrella each day, we didn't ever go to this as its quite rocky and there always seemed to be seaweed there, so we walked up a bit, you have to get to the beach early to be able to get a bed, if ever later then 12pm you don't have a chance. The water is as clear as anything and the water is warm, you can swim so far out to as doesn't get deep for ages. The further you walk up the beach the busier it gets, we walked up to the end of the beach a few times as that's where the water sports are (they do everything). Its very busy down that end you can just about move. If you just want to relax I wouldn't suggest you go down that end, but make sure you do at least once the water is so clear and you have to walk out to the little island to (through the water)
If your thinking about going here then definitely do, you couldn't ask for much more if I could go back tomorrow I would, I loved it.

What a superb place!
The hotel is very well presented inside and out. The gardens leading to the beach are awesome and house two resident pelicans who can be seen wondering down the beech most days.
The beech is kept very clean and the water is very clear. There are plenty of beds available for sun-bathing and two cafes where you can buy cold drinks and snacks.
The staff are very friendly/helpful at the hotel from the reception through to the room service and restaurant staff. The hotel delivered a free bottle of champagne to our room to celebrate a special birthday.
The hotel offers a different buffet every night from places around the world, the selection was great especially being vegetarian. If there are no foods suiting your tastes then they are more than happy to cook you an alternative.
Nissi Beach has something for everyone, themed nights, local tavernas, and a 5 minute taxi drive to Ayia Napa for the night clubs (30 min walk so there is no loud music local to the hotel) and a resident bar for those who don’t like to venture too far out.
Can’t wait to get back there next year (2008).

The Nissi Beach Hotel is found just outside the main resort of Ayia Napa. About 20 mins walk, 5 in a taxi. The hotel is excellent, nice restaurants and facilities, and right on the beach for the sun worshippers.
The staff are friendly and speak excellent English. The resort is clean and the gardens are colourful and exotic. Great place for your wedding or Honeymoon. A bit expensive compared to other hotels.
I highly recommend Clarabels Restaurant in Ayia Napa, it is the best food I’ve tasted in Cyprus.
