Tasia Maris Gardens Apartments

8 readers found this review helpful

Came back 29th June 10, I cannot find fault with anything, seriously, the only comment I could make was that there was no airline to blow up the inevitable lilos etc. (now that's just being picky)
Honestly, staff great, food great, drinks not watered down, cleaning great, location great - not to close to centre. Entertainment, Georgie works endlessly to get us involved, not his fault the brits are sooo lazy, just about the right amount and type of games, well done Georgie.
Suggest taxis, too hot to wait for bus or walk, bus 1.5 euros, taxis 2.00 euros anywhere on the long long road!
Yes, we would go again, not too big 30ish appartments, there were just enough loungers for all. 2 adults and 2 kids aged 14 & 12. Ideal for younger kids and older members alike. We really enjoyed this holiday.

The Tasia Maris gardens are definatley the best appartments we as a family have stopped in during our 17 years visiting various locations around the world.The appts were cleaned and towels changed on a daily basis,the pool and the terrace were immaculate and the hotel staff were excellent.Shame we have heard that the appts are going to be changed to all inclusive in 2010,we will be going back sometime in the next few years and that is something we have never done

I went on holiday with 2 friends and i am 24 so was looking for somewhere lovely to stay with some nice restaurants with a bit of atmosphere and some nightlife nearby. This is eactly what we got.
The apartment was very reasonably priced and everything was perfect. The apartments are set around the swimming pool which is so beautiful. They all have balconys and everything you need. The cleaners were fantastic and always working. Our room was cleaned everyday and washing up done for us.
There are lots of local shops selling food but not much variety and not sure what you would cook if you wanted to eat in as its mainly cheese, bread, dips etc. But the restaurants are lovely and found a couple that we went back to again because the service and food was amazing.
Ayia Napa is 8 euros in a taxi which there are plenty of and it is a fab night out with everything you could want, Felt very safe there and no problems at all.
The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke very good english. I would highly recommend this hotel for familys with young children, couples, friends, elderly! It was perfect in everyway and i will go back there very soon hopefully for some more lovely weather, food and good times.

This is one of the nicest places I've ever had the good fortune to stay. The staff are all english or english speaking, the hotel manager greets & waves off every coach load of guests. The rooms were very well looked after, the pool area was very clean. It was just a great resort for the young, middle & older people.
The only reason I've not given them a rating of 10 is because I personally don't like the plastic matress covers that they use - but they didn't bother my partner

I stayed here for two weeks with my family. The weather was fabulous and the apartments are excellent. They are cleaned every day and are very spacious and well equipped. The pool area is very good - spacious, clean, quiet and has a jacuzzi and children's pool.
The local area is nice but there is a main road which is busy at all times of the day. There are lots of good restaurants to choose from especially if you are willing to walk a short distance. The entertainment is the bars could be better - unless you're a fan of Elvis, Robbie and Abba tributes!
The good thing about our holiday was that the apartment complex was small and friendly meaning that our children made lots of friends, as did we. The only downside to our holiday was the cost. It was more expensive to eat out than at home. Even a trip to the supermarket for basic essentials was costing me between £10-15. If you're going, take planty of euros with you! Also, I strongly disagree with having to pay for air-conditioning in the lounge area. This was an unexpected cost - 84 euros.

We stayed in Tasia Maris Garden Village (Thomson Platinum) for our Honeymoon in June.
We had fresh flowers and a bottle of champagne on arrival as it was our honeymoon. I think all the guests get fresh flowers.
The accommodation was top class, rooms being thoroughly cleaned every day including fresh towels.
It was very relaxing around the pool, although the last few days of our holiday we had to look hard for a sun bed ! The pool was gorgeous with waterfalls. All the guests there were british so the atmosphere was good.
All the staff at the hotel were friendly and seemed to go out of their way to help you.
The Orange Grove accross the road is fab, Danny Feelgood really made you feel good with his comparing, always greeting new faces and usually embarrasing them! There were great tribute acts there, we went there most nights.
Ayia Napa square is a comfortable 20 min walk but we used to stop off at a few pubs on the way there. It's crazy there with loads of pub/clubs, as we're in our mid 30's we enjoyed the 'Carwash' club which is full 70,s 80,s and 90's music, great night !
Be careful when you get in a taxi though, it's 7euros wherever you go, never ask them how much, just give them 7 euro's !
All in all, we had a fantastic honeymoon and we couldnt' fault anything (apart from it being quite expensive eat eat/drink) but money's no object on hols is it?????

These apartments were very good. They were large and roomy with airconditioning in both the bedroom and lounge. The maid service was excellent, cleaned every day with plenty of fresh towels. The pool area was superb for children, really clean and safe.
The reasons I havent scored it higher are:
The cost of the drinks, snacks and ice creams around the pool bar were very expensive-£3.50 for a magnum ice cream!
The cost of the air conditioning in the lounge was 84 euros for 2 weeks which I think is expensive.
The apartments are situated on the main road into Ayia Nappa which is incredibly busy with quad bikes and motor bikes flying up and down it and although you dont hear the noice from the pool area its dangerous to cross the road, and sitting in the tavernas in the evening is like sitting on the edge of the M1!.
The beach behind the apartments would be lovely if someone cleaned it- the edge of the sea was very grubby with all kinds of cans and plastic cups etc floating in it- this is a real shame as it could be a lovely beach.
Again I really cant fault the apartments and pool area for cleanliness and safety they were excellent- if you are going here you will not be disapointed with them- 1 piece of advice, when you arrive check that all your windows are locked as we didnt and we were robbed on day 7!

The accomodation was really nice and clean. The bar was good and the pool was fab. It's in a good area just a ten minute walk from Nissi Beach. And quite close to all the restraunts. We also thought that alll the staff were very friendly and the apartments were lovely. The cleaning ladies worked very hard as well. We really enjoyed staying with them and we will definetly have to go back!!!

We absolutely loved this resort and really regretted going for one week only!
We arrived at night and were hit by how warm it was and were directed to the lovely coach. Once arriving at the apartments we had to get up the stairs as we were above the reception, as we were starving we just went out and got some nibbles from the bakers across the road (the shop had closed by then).
We loved the friendliness of the staff from the first night.
In the morning, I opened the balcony doors and was so happy at how beautiful it was. We were above the reception so had a lovely view of the swimming pool, and the sea in the distance.
The apartments were extremely clean and we had no problems with bugs or anything through the stay. We didn't bother with air conditioning as it was as it was free in the bedroom, but it wasn't too hot and could sleep under the covers easily. Even in the living area, we just opened the balcony doors to let the air in but we were hardly inside anyway.
The maids cleaned the apartment everyday whilst we were there, and sometimes we weren't even ready to leave and they came around, but were happy to wait for us to get ourselves together. They even came on a Sunday for a quick clean! Which surprised me, I must admit.
We had everything we needed in our modern apartments and was so pleased with it!
The swimming pool was nice to go in for a dip, very much for children but relaxing for adults to cool down in or play with their children. The music got a bit repetitive though - the same songs for the whole week, but the snack bar served lovely food and really enjoyed their burgers and chips - quick service and good value too.
The beach was a 2 minute walk down the road, but I found it too packed but very popular with the locals. The water was really dirty and the seaweed wasn't very nice. I would much rather walk to Nissi Beach which has clear seas and lovely sand, which is a 5 minute walk extra along a costal path which is very pretty in itself!
The walk into Ayia Napa was quite long for us, especially when it was really hot and there was only a few shops to stop and look in (we walked in but taxied back in the end!) but Ayia Napa wasn't what we were expecting. Lots of places to eat and shops to look in, but we only went at day time but next year we will go into Ayia Napa for something to eat at night, although I think we were put off by lots of teenagers getting drunk etc, but we will give it a try, although we didn't see many teenagers about during the day.
Overall we loved every minute, but 1 week wasn't enough and we have just booked to go back for 2 weeks in September with Portland holidays instead, although the same flights as Thomson, its £100 cheaper to book through them.
Recommend anybody to go who wants top quality (looked into other places and they all have extremely bad reviews) for young couples (not clubbers), families and older couples.
Oh and the pub across the road serves lovely food and they are all really welcoming in there!

Fabulous, my first proper abroad holiday, loved every minute of it.
Karystos Bar across the road was always a fantastic night with lots of entertainment, all the staff were brilliant and made you fell welcome. Graham, the Karaoke Compere was wonderful, and all the guests were so friendly.
The local shopkeepers made you feel welcome and always gave us a good deal outside the marked price for things.
Food was top notch, with prices very reasonable. Don’t think we spent more than about £20 on a 2 course meal with wine.
Apartments were amazing and the pool is something to see. Extremely relaxing and makes you feel like you’re in paradise. Preferred Sandy Bay to Nissi Beach as there was less sea-weed but both waters were relaxing. (Nissi beach was a little rougher in the water than Sandy though).
Didn’t do any water sports but saw lots of them and they looked real fun so will try them next year.
Overall, a top holiday and have already started to arrange my holiday there for next year.
