Submitted By: Miss R O''brienUpon my arrival, i was pleasantly suprised, it was 2o'clock in the morning and alll the staff were still bright and welcoming.
I was able to go straight to my room.
No the hotel isn't cleaned and decorated to a high standard but it is acceptable, considering it's a three star hotel.
It seems that a lot of people expect 4 or 5 star quality when they are only paying 3 star prices.
Overall i thoroughly enjoyed my holiday, wonderful customer service delivered by all staff.
The hotels location was also a good point as everything was on the doorstep.
The only real downsides, were the noise levels from the road outside, didnt bother me though!
When it woke me up, i just went and watched from my balcony! Also the food was not to my tastes but there were so many lovely resteraunts just a short walk away, i recommend the Ni Hao chinese resteraunt to the left of the hotel.

Submitted By: Mr GM MillerOverall we had a good holiday, although this was mainly due to the glorious weather.
The hotel is without doubt starting to get shabby in places, including the bedroom and bathroom which amongst other defects had a cracked sink and peeling mouldy paintwork. Our room was overlooking the roof of the bar and smaller outside pool which was rarely used and was close to the road.The balcony was tiny and insecure and open to the adjoining other balconies and was not used as we did not want to sit back to back with smokers who were unfortunately on both sides..
The patio doors were rarely locked over the two weeks after the cleaners had finished. The noise was very bad from the road at times not due to the traffic which in itself was heavy but by the noisy exhausts, stereos and driving habits of the boy racers up to around 4am. If you are able to specify a hotel room location go for the newer part at the back as the hotel was extended and these rooms area a lot better and quieter.
We had a bad start in any event as the key card to our room would not operate and we had two visits to the reception to sort it out at midnight on late arrival. That said the reception staff and all bar staff were all very friendly and everyone speaks english. I also picked up an ear infection which the GP I saw said was almost certainly caused by swimming in a pool. I had to see him twice for treatment. This was also efficiently dealt with at 40 euros a visit.
The evening entertainment at the hotel was at best reasonable although ruined by euro 2008 as this was left on the large tvs when other events were planned. Karaoke is big in Limossol including the hotel where it is on twice a week. This however is reflected in most venues so not a lot different elsewhere.
We hired a car for six days over the two weeks locally at half price of the major recommended company as we wanted Limossol as a base to explore for which it was ideal. We found the hotel food to be very good overall although there was never ice cream offered. There is little if anything for children at the hotel and if you are in your 20's you would get bored with whats on offer, although there is a night club underneath which was free entrance to guests. The drinks however were very expensive at 8 euro for a small bottle of beer !
The Hotel tries hard although we feel the 3 star rating to be slipping very close to 2 really. At the end of the day you get what you pay for and we got a good deal for 14 nights by booking online several months ago. We would pay a bit more to get something better if we went back. If it is entertainemt you are looking for and really good beaches as most did not seem that good to us in Cyprus go to spain.

Submitted By: Miss C FollonHotel was really nice and clean, a lot better than expected. Pool woz lovely and there were always plenty of sunbeds. Breakfast and dinner was quite varied, with different themes every night.
Bar staff were really friendly and a good laugh, especially George, Lil Yiannis n Big Yiannis!
The only downside to this hotel is the location. Great for if you are a older as it is far away from the main town and nightlife with just a few quieter bars around. But as we are a group of 20 year old girls it was not so good for us. Thomas Cook told us that we would be in the middle of everything (which really wasn't true). If we wanted to go into the main tourist town we had to get a bus which took about 20 mins, but ran regularly and only cost 1.35 euros so wasn't too bad. And then had to get a taxi back which cost around 10-12 euros.
If you want a good night out Step Inn Irish Bar is the place to go (expensive drinks though). It has a club underneath it which opens later on in the night, not sure what it was called, something Triangle i think.
Drinks at the hotel bar were a very resonable price though and entertainment was quite good, such as karaoke and bingo, and the staff always made it a good night for us.
If you are looking for trips to do you deffinately have to go to Fasouri Waterpark (about 30 mins bus journey from Arsinoe). Admission is 28 euros and 3 euros bus fair, which you can book at the hotel. Had such a good day there, plenty of slides and a big wave pool.
Wasn't very impressed with the beaches in Limassol, water was clear but the sand was very grey which made the water look a lot darker.
Weather was always really really nice and hot, didn't have a bad day.
Overall had such a good holiday, just wish the hotel was a bit closer to the main nightlife. But still glad we stayed there.

Flight was delayed, and as such we arrived at the hotel after the evening meal service. The hotel had kept the restaurant open especially for us, and not only that, processed our paperwork whilst we ate.
The rooms aren't massive - They're functional. Containing twin beds, fitted wadrobe and a desk/chair. Usual mixture of mainly foreign, with some English TV chanels so no surprises there. The decor could do with an update and the ensuite isn't massive. But it works. With half board accommodation do you honestly do anything else in there other than sleep?
Although we weren't affected, I believe road noise is an issue with the Arsinoe. We were in a room toward the back of the hotel, view over the pool, so no road noise. We did speak to a couple who's 'sea view' room was at the very front of the hotel. They looked drawn after what they claimed was two days without sleep, but did concede that they had been moved immediately after they complained. What else could the hotel have done?
It's hard to criticise the food, least of all call it bland. Breakfast was everything you wanted - continental and full english. I can understand the criticism of the toast machine, but to be fair it's nothing more than trivial whining. As what the contributor failed to disclose, was that there were allways several rounds freshly toasted by the staff in the warmer.
Dinner was a fabulous mix each night. Staff, are a fantastic bunch.
Limassol's an odd sort of place. Really spread out, so it's hard to comment on location but I'll try. Rebecca's is great for a relaxed beer/meal etc, whilst Hamlets seems to be the choice of the young locals. I recommend both, but as said, not much else really desipte the hotel being in the tourist area.
Too cold to use the pool when we went, but warm enough to sunbathe. Main pool was kept very clean, but there were a couple of smaller pool area's close to the bridge that needed attention. Maybe because it was out of season?
There's a disco under the hotel. We never heard it in the room, though I suppose it could be an issue in the summer months.
