Reviews of Tofinis Aparthotel, Ayia Napa

For those of you who are not sure about going Ayia Napa please read on........Me and my partner went here as a last min deal at the end of May 2008. We had been searching for wks for a cheap last min deal for somewhere that was going to be hot and cheap enough. As a last resort, I found the Tofinis Apts in Cyprus Ayia Napa. My partners first thought was- No way im not going there as it will be full of RnB and all that! How wrong was he. I totally converted him. He loved it, we both loved it. It was red hot!! The apartments were clean and the staff were really friendly. There is a maid who cleans your room every day you are there and you have new sheets 2-3 times a week. Our room was massive and had a good sized kitchen/living area. We had a perfect sea view and a good sized balcony too. The pool is good sized and it was pretty empty as we didnt go in high season so I can imagine it getting a little crowded in the summer months. We were only a five min walk from the beach which bought us on to the top end of the beach which went in a cove shape. It was beautiful and the sea was lovley and warm! The only downfall I would say was the long walk into town. It was very peaceful where we were which was good as we were out of the hustle and bustle but to walk into town it was a good 20mins or so. Not so bad walking down the hill, but walking back up the hill every day certainly took its toll. However there is a good supermarket halfway down where you can get your food really cheap if your self catering so try not buy from the supermarket thats attached to the hotel as you'll pay a fortune. The town is excellent, but keep your wallet and purses close as my fellas wallet got pinched from a zipped up pocket on his combats!!!! It only put a dampner on the holiday for a day or so but apart from that we didnt want to come home. We are already looking to book ready for next year. You wont be dissapointed!

FANTASTIC, CLEAN, CONVENIENT, GREAT ATMOSPHERE, 2 ADULTS 2 TEENAGERS AGED 14 & 16, HELPFUL STAFF, STAYED IN 2 BEDROOMED VERY SPACIOUS BUT SHOULD HAVE CRAMMED INTO 1 BEDROOMED BECAUSE VIEWS ARE BRILLIANT, ABOUT TEN MINUTE WALK TO SQUARE BUT LOADS OF BARS N SHOPS EN ROUTE. 2 MINS FROM BEACH, IDEAL IN EVERY WAY.

i stayed at tofinis apts in ayia napa for the first time. the apts are basic but very clean and spacious the cleaners are in most days and bed linen and towels changed every two days. the staff are very friendly you couldnt get nicer. they go out of the way to help you. the food is fantastic but seems dear cos of the euro, bring back the cypriot pound. the only thing was a crowd from newcastle spoilt it. it was noisy and we couldnt get sleeping for naked prats in the pool. other than that a good stay all round.

Apartments need updating desperately. However the general facilities (pool etc) were fantastic. Food was the best in Ayia Napa! Situated on the edge of the resort it is quiet and quite a wee walk down into the square. No TV/entertainment in the apartment itself but large screens in the reception area. Wouldn't recommend for a romantic get-away due to the standard of the accommodation/single beds etc. However the views were fantastic. Staff more than helpful and professional.



Be aware that air conditioning is payable locally at a cost of £3.50 CPY PER DAY!!

Myself and 2 friends stayed in the tofinis apartments for 2 weeks from the 4th july 2007. I would consider tofinis to be the best accommodation i have stayed in. I cannot complain about anything it was clean, peaceful and friendly.



The room consisted of a bedroom with twin beds air con (which gets very very cold... which is what you need), 2 dressing tables with mirrors, therefore there was no waiting on a mirror when trying to get ready (particulary ideal for the ladies). Along with this the bedroom was very spacious with enough wardrobe room to put all your clothes and other things in. The bathroom had both a shower and a bath which was rather big, again very clean and spacious. The main room included a kitchen area with fridge, toaster, kettle, etc. Also within the main room was a dining table and chairs, some sitting chairs and the third bed. Again a very spacious room. The bedroom and main room both had a door that led out onto the balcony, which was nice to chill out on before going out, particulary if you had an inland view of the pool, bar, beach, etc.



The apartment itself had an indoor steak restaurant and an outdoor restaurant, located next to the bar. The reception was 24 hours in which you could leave your key with them if you didnt fancy taking it out with you on a night. The reception area also provided safe boxes, internet and telephones.



The pool area was very clean, and the pool itself was very big. We loved the fact that no matter what time you went to chill out by the pool there was always sunbeds and umbrellas available. We usually spent most days round the pool as it was nice and breezy, due to being located on an hill. The beach was literally a 5 min walk outside the apartment- if that.



The staff were excellent, very welcoming and friendly throughout the holiday, always at your service. Also on a night its very peaceful as the staff don't tolerate any noise, and had a security guy (brijesh aka ghandi) on guard overnight.



Overall staying in tofinis apartments made our holiday one of the best holidays ever, i would definately return to ayia napa and stay in these apartments.

This hotel was very good. I enjoyed staying there and didn’t want to leave. The staff were excellent. Yuri always put smile on people's faces. The pool was nice to jump in after a hot day.



From our room you could look out on to the Beach, where you could watch the water sports. The hotel was not far away from the bars and clubs which was ideal for us party people. I would highly recommend going back to Tofinis.



Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Apartments could do with a little updating, but if you are just looking for somewhere to get your head down tofinis is the place. Very well maintained grounds and pool is five star, cleaners and staff very friendly good food and prices, no need to leave the complex every thing you need is at hand.



We had a fantastic time and are ready to spend our next holiday at tofinis. Thanks to all the staff for making us feel so welcome. Job well done. Steve, sue and ashley.

I recently went to the tofinis hotel with my boyfriend on a last minute deal and had a brilliant holiday we will be booking earlier next year so we can go back next year for sure.



The pool was excellent at 25m and the staff were fantastic from the maintenance man to the manager jimmy, especially the bar staff mark yuri andre at night and metre during the day, they all really made the holiday from the warm hellos everyday and never forgetting how you take your drink.



The views were fantastic and the breeze was great for the constant heat. The hotel bar is very cheap and the owners have a lovely restaurant across the road that serves excellent food at a very good price. Although the hotel is on a slight hill there is a supermarket attached to the hotel and it is an enjoyable walk to the centre and taxis are cheap.



We loved this hotel and would encourage anyone to give it a try.

Had a great holiday, good location but accommodation very poor. Urgently needs updating and refurbished, dirty in some areas of living accommodation especially bathroom and kitchen. No lift.......no offer to help with suitcases.....the third bed was a plastic sofa bed, had to pay additional cost for air conditioning, travel agents charged high cost with no details of the problems we encountered ie no lift and air conditioning.



We noted the tariffs the apartments cost which were very low yet Thomas cooks invoice was 4 times the room tariff price??? The rep for Libra was rude and unhelpful projected a poor image for the company.



However the hotel staff were lovely and the pool was nice, we did get moved to a ground floor apartment on request. The restaurant was lovely with fantastic food especially for vegetarians. Apartments situated in quiet area good location as short walk to night life if you wanted that and short distance to beach, if you booked direct with the apartments you would get a very cheap deal with out exorbitant add on costs of travel agents but specify a ground floor apartment, not all rooms have good views either.

I have been to Cyprus for the past 7 years running and have always stayed at Tofinis. The atmosphere is fantastic and the hospitality is excellent. Vangelis the owner of Tofinis is a wonderful person who will always go out of his way to make you feel welcome (and he will never forget you). Jimmy and Chris his brothers are also really nice people.



The town center is only a short walk away where you will find many bars and gorgeous restaurants.



The beach is just over the road and is a wonderful, relaxing place to be with golden sand and crystal clear water.



Oh, and not forgetting the Luna funfair with the famous slingshot which is a must and the water park situated just inside of Ayia Napa is also a great day out. Ayia Napa has something for everyone and is good for families as well. I can’t wait to go back this year for the eighth time (2006) its become like a second home.

I have stayed at Tofinis 3 times now. The staff are very friendly the manager/owner (Jimmy ) is a fantastic person. The apartments were spotless and the food was good. The walk into Ayia Napa centre was ok, about 25/30mins but the walk back up the HILL was not for anyone with walking difficulties.



We ended up getting taxi's back at a small cost. All in all a really lovely place to stay. Take in the view of Ayia Napa bay in the evening from the restaurant. It's terrific.

My family have stayed at this hotel several times, the latest being in 2004 when my daughter went to Cyprus to get married. And every time has been great. The staff are helpful and the manager/owner is just fantastic.



The rooms are sparse but kept nice and clean. Evening entertainment is provided and the pool bar is great in the evenings. Great plaice to stay for families and couples. Also the views from the outside dining areas are terrific. Would recommend this hotel very highly.
