| said: The hotel has a three star rating. It lies approximately 30 or 40 minutes walk from Protaras main resort (either by road or a coastal path). We arrived right at the end of evening dinner time and I guess we had the tail end of the buffet style service, which had little choice and seemed slightly overcooked. This was a worry, but in reality bore no resemblance to the quality of the food the rest of the week. Arriving at the buffet every evening saw a good choice of well prepared food (the salad bar is excellent), with enough choice to satisfy all but the pickiest eater.
The hotel has a mixture of nationalities working there, the owners, Eugene and Linda are very friendly and are often out socialising with the guests, ensuring all is well. All the other staff are helpful and courteous.
The room was basic, but spotlessly clean, air conditioned - very welcome as it was 96° in the shade - good shower, a TV (that we didn't use) and French windows that open onto a small tiled ares over looking the sea. But as it was just a place to sleep and wash, more than adequate.
For some the location maybe a little remote, although there is plenty of building work in the area, new villas going up. It's a 30 minute or so stroll in Protaras, either along the road or via the coastal path and a bus or taxi ride away from any other resort or town.
A nice pool area with a poolside bar and two pools (one for youngsters) the barman, Stelios, is a real character and loves to play chess, often winning, even though he plays during serving customers. He endeavours to learn all the guests names and within in day or two expect a cheery greeting from him, using your name. Happy hour, a couple of times in the evening offers half price cocktails.
There is entertainment 3 nights a week, traditional Cypriot dancers one night, which was fun, some casino and bingo another night which we didn't see, as we walked to one of the local taverna's for the evening. On a Saturday night there is a disco, karaoke and pool competition, again we didn't see this.
A reassuring point, was the number of guests who were returnees, some in their 10th year. I would guess that it isn't the best hotel for those with youngsters who want something going on all the time and hi-tec entertainment. There were some children,with attentive parents who spent time engaging with them, which was good to see. For a relaxing holiday, in a peaceful setting, close to a beach, I'd certainly recommend it.

| said: We loved this hotel and have already booked to go back again in 2006. The food was buffet style,and the meals were very well planned,with plenty of choice. The hotel was spotlessly clean.The main attraction for me was the sprawling sunbathing area,with plenty of beds, which led straight down to the small bay and private beach.The location wouldn't appeal to everyone as it is in a very quiet area and a good 25min walk to Protaras centre, but the bus stops nearby and is very cheap.The staff were polite, helpfull and friendly as is usually found in a small family run hotel.It is even possible to have a game of chess with Stelios the barman in the evenings, as the only drawback is the lack of entertainment most nights,this was not a problem for us as we enjoy walking.This was a totally relaxing holiday which we enjoyed so much that we are returning this year.

| said: I travelled with my partner and friends and we had a ground floor room facing the sea. The rooms were functional if a little small. There is the main room which had the beds in, (two single beds). The room also had two electic cooking rings and sink.
A kettle and toaster were provided along with the necessary cutlery and plate.
The bathroom was the standard bath come shower the loo.
We could see the beach from our window and it was a 2 minute walk to the waters edge. Lovely.
Staff were helpful and the whole place has a tranquil mood to it.
It is in a quiet place with we liked and staff would call a taxi for you if you needed to go anywhere, taxis were not that dear. The bus stop is at the top of the road, 3 minute walk.
The man made inlet provides warm and calm waters for children and snorkling and it never seems to be too crowded.
We had a great relaxing holiday in this peace and calm but if it's nightlife you are after then you need to go out and find it. Ayia napa is 30 mins by bus or 15 mins by taxi.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone needing to chill out for a week or two. I will be going back with my friends this September and will be trying out the scuba driving in the cove and back onto the jet ski'es located in the next bay.
