Tasia Maris Gardens Apartments

We arrived at the apartments and the coach stopped over the road at the Hotel. As this was our first visit we didn't know we had to get off the coach there so we were last to book into reception.
The manager was very helpful and directed me to the check in where all the other guests were fighting to get the best rooms as they had been before. As I was given my keys by the very nice receptionist a very rude person kept butting in trying to steal my information pack, chill out people we are on holiday I thought.
Anyway we were shown to our room and I was very pleased with the cleanliness and space the beds in the living area are quite big and our bedroom had loads of wardrobe space.
The maids came every day to clean and give you fresh towels and even washed up sometimes, also very friendly.
The pool area is very good but the sun beds were a little dirty. The food at the cafe was great but the drinks a little expensive. All said these apartments are the best we have stayed at and the staff are very nice.
The resort itself was a bit of a let down, the road outside apartments is hazardous as there are loads of young people on mopeds and quad bikes that don't stop for anything. There is a zebra crossing outside apartments but be careful especially if you have children with you as there is a cycle path next to the road and the mopeds use it to get past traffic.
The beach is quite nice and you can walk along the coastal path to get to Nissi Beach takes about 10 mins. Nissi Beach was dirty with carrier bags and litter everywhere, what a shame as this is a very beautiful beach.
There are a few pubs and restaurants near by with some entertainments such as tribute bands and kareoke. We walked into Ayia Napa as there is more choice and better value. Try a boat trip only£2 buy tickets at the harbour. Also the water park is a great day out.
We enjoyed our stay at these apartments but we won't be going back to this area of Ayia Napa.

I have just come back from 2 weeks in the apartment complex. I have to say that it is one of the best self-catering apartment complexes I have been to!
It is one of the cleanest apartments I have stayed in; cleaned every day, towels changed every day, and bedding every other day! The cleaning staff are very friendly, as are all the other staff!
The complex is in a suitable location, with Ayia Napa town centre not too far to the right of the resort (facing the main road out of reception), and a large selection of bars and restaurants close by.
There is also Nissi Beach itself, a short walk from the complex. I would have to say Nissi Beach is the nicest beach in the area; it is not quiet by any stretch of the imagination, although there is practically two sides to the beach, a noisy side and a quiet side.
From my experience, food in and around the Tasia Maris Gardens are of fairly similar prices, although in my 2 weeks there, I found probably the best restaurant on the main road (Nissi Avenue). Turning left out of the apartment complex, about 300/400 yards down on the opposite side of the road, there is a jeweller with a restaurant called Sacramento’s on the side of it. Although it looks expensive, its prices are very reasonable, and was one of the cheapest places to eat. The food was immaculate, and beer only a quid a pint! Its staff are also very friendly, they give you a proper welcome, and I went there several times during my stay!
Overall I enjoyed my holiday. It was very relaxing and there was plenty to do. If you manage to get a hire car, I suggest visiting Nicosia (the capital), as well as Famagusta. Although you can't cross the border at Famagusta, there is a viewing point with a mini museum. It is very touching and really gives you the history behind the crisis!
I would recommend it to anyone, go there, you won't be disappointed!

This is a great holiday for all. We’ve just booked for 2008 for the 4th time. We still miss Panicos who was the poolside bar tender in 2004 when we first went. But Christos at next door's Carina bar keeps us going back.
Accommodation is top class. Also had ants on one visit but it was sorted out as soon as we reported it. The pool is great and for a short walk into the town centre, you keep the choice of whether you want a quiet night or a lively one.
The people are all amazing and the lamb Kleftico at the orange grove is a must. With the water park close and the ever great carina bar, I won't go on any other sun holiday again.
Cyprus is everything you'll ever need and you won't ever want to come home.

We have just come home from a week’s stay at Tasia Maris Gardens; I have to say I cannot fault them at all!
The apartments are spotlessly clean and modern, the gardens very well kept and the pool area is lovely. Unfortunately for us we had almost a whole week of rain but we still managed to have an excellent holiday.
Our favourite place to go at night was the Orange Grove restaurant followed by their bar afterwards. Don kept us entertained as did Michael the barman! The Chinese just up the road was very nice too.
The beach next to the apartments was very nice and the bar served nice snacks too. There is a lovely little old man who looks after the sunbeds!
All in all a brilliant holiday, would not hesitate to return again some time!

We’ve just got home from Cyprus, and I feel we have to let you know our comments. The Tasia Maris gardens are simply lovely. Perfect for a family to use as a base or just to enjoy. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the maids came in every single day!
Everywhere on site was spotless, and the kids loved the pool, which has a great shallow end where you can relax as well as watch the kids. The pool snacks at the bar are great with big portions, so don’t order too much, we shared with the kids every time we ate. The supermarket opposite is very good, as well as the bakery which I can highly recommend, great for made up rolls and cakes.
You are nice and close to the beach which is ideal for kids. Everywhere in a cab is £4 which is cool. Or buses everywhere is 80 cents each way, but we found it much easier with the kids to cab it! Troodos mountain safari is amazing, as well as the fantastic water park! But there is nothing at the water park for under fives I would say, unless the kids are very adventurous!
The harbour is nice, I highly recommend the yellow submarine trip. Five pounds each, they didn’t charge for our 3 year old, a great view underwater with a diving fish feed show. Then you can snorkel in some smugglers caves, which is fantastic. I have to admit it isn’t cheap in Cyprus but we had an amazing first family holiday abroad! 10 out of 10 go for it!

As overseas holiday accommodation goes, you will struggle to find better than this, I the price range. The facilities were excellent and I would highly recommend the resort.
It is very family orientated, with facilities for both children and adults alike. The apartment rooms are excellent and are serviced every day by friendly maids. The bar food is excellent and despite the costly nature of the island as a whole, are very reasonably priced.
Our Thomson rep was a very nice girl and made us feel very welcome.
We came in the middle of September when the temperatures were still in the low to mid thirties and I never saw a cloud in the sky once.
My only qualm would be that due to the resort location and layout and being overshadowed by the Tasia Maris Hotel, you have to make the most of the sunshine tanning opportunities as the sun tends to set behind the hotel at about 5.30pmish. However this is perhaps more due to Ayia Napa's location on the South East side of the island, meaning you are unlikely to see a sunset as it sets on the other side of the island.
Otherwise no complaints whatsoever - excellent resort with excellent facilities.
Would highly recommend it.

Just come back from Tasia Masis Gardens on a last minute deal.
For.
Great pool, clean rooms, good gym under reception and great area (away from noise of the resort centre). Close to a beach and Nissi beach is 15 min walk. Ayia Napa children’s fairground is very good. Loads of great places to eat along Nissi Avenue going towards resort centre. Best was the Figi and Clarabels just across from the Town square and fountain.
Tasia Maris Hotel next door looked very nice, but does not allow kids under 16years (Thomson gold).
Against.
Distance from Ayia Napa OK for Adults to walk, a bit far for small children (Taxi cost 4C£). Small problem with ants in room. Air con in bedroom free, changed for air con in front room. No entertainment for children (used Thalassaki instead).
Would definitely go again or stay at the Thalassaki Beach Village which is a bit closer to the town, but the pool is not as good and there is no beach (5min walk).

These are probably the best apartments/complex I have ever been to. They are clean tidy well maintained with a good standard of finish to the apartments and complex. The pool area is very good with lovely surroundings of flowers shrubs etc.
The pool is a circuit around small islands with trees and shrubs and is very pretty. There are sun beds which are in different areas. Its not too big or small-just right. I’m very impressed with the complex and will be booking again. The staff are friendly and willing to help. Rooms are cleaned every day and all the towels replaced. 15-20 min walk to Ayia Nap – so not too quiet.
Lovely restaurants nearby including Valentinos - great food and good price try the special. Casa Napa - Italian restaurant in Ayia Napa is also very good and great value for money. The bakery across the road is fantastic, if you like greek food try the baklava they are gorgeous.

I would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Tasia Maris Gardens they made our holiday. We went out for my daughters wedding at Nissi beach which was lovely but the rooms there weren't as nice as the ones we had at the gardens.
They were spotless and the maid came every day to clean them, change the towels and bedding. The pool area is ideal for the small kids as it's not too deep.
The only thing that it lacked was entertainment for them.

Top marks as the accommodation and location were pretty much as described. These are as good as any apartments we have stayed in before and better than most. They are modern, very clean (daily maid service) and all facilities are of the highest order including the gym. There is good attention to detail and the gerbera in a vase was a nice way of welcoming you. The staff were very helpful, friendly and genuine.
There isn't much in the way of entertainment provided but there again that was as expected. It does guarantee a peaceful night's sleep amongst other things. And if you fancy, there's always the karaoke bar across the road.
There are lot's of restaurants and bars - food generally was good value and of decent quality. Agree with previous reviews - Sacramento's was good value and great service. Although the best meal for us was at the Mexican restaurant, which is 5 mins walk en-route to Ayia Napa. We also tried the fish and chip cafe on the main road into AN but it didn't quite live up to the claim 'as good as back home'. I'd recommend anyone who fancies a curry to wait till they get home rather than try the Indian (top of the hill) in AN. The best thing there is the desserts but that's not what you went there for...
The beach nearest the apartments is nice, however a 5 mins walk (left up the coast) to Nissi beach is well worth the exercise. The beach is superb and the sea is wonderful for swimmers and paddlers alike. Sunbeds and parasols are charged by the day and very reasonably priced.
I have to admit we were spoiled with a week of unbroken sunshine, which always helps make a holiday. But I am happy to say the accommodation was every bit as good as the weather and we'd certainly go back again.
