This hotel is beautiful, quite central with a beautiful sea view and conveniently next to a bus stop right outside which was super handy with a 3 year old. Bus cost €2 per person and children under 6 free, although walking to the beach/ harbour or central strip is doable in around 30mins and pram friendly, alternatively you can walk along the beach front to the harbour. The hotel will call you a taxi if you needed one. There's a shop underneath the hotel and opposite which sell everything you need. The hotel itself was bright, clean and fresh, the staff were always friendly and our room was cleaned daily. The all inclusive package met all of our needs and had different themes for dinner each day, there's definitely something for everyone, you'll not struggle, even as a picky eater! The highlight of our trip was the water park within the hotel, our daughter loved the slides, the water fountains and the lazy river and we never struggled to get a sunbed, even later in the day. When my daughter wasn't in the pool she was at the kids club and she had the best time! As a shy kid, the staff made her feel most welcome and she made a few friends. Plenty of toys and activities for the little ones. The overall atmosphere was brilliant at this hotel, very family friendly and great value for money, we really enjoyed the evening entertainment which was a kids mini disco followed by a show, this concluded most nights around 10pm which worked for us. The hotel corridors were a little noisy at times but I think that can be expected in every hotel. I read reviews of people slamming doors but in my experience, I don't think people are being inconsiderate of others, the room doors are quite heavy so naturally slam shut. The ONLY thing that the hotel could improve on is the quality of mattress in the rooms, it is so thin my sleep quality was very poor but apart from that, no complaints at all! Thank you for an amazing holiday.

Honest review - family of 10. We had 3 apartments for our family of 10, we requested via email for these to be together and we got just that , all ground level with the waterpark view. The apartments were clean and spacious , good air con , mattresses very comfortable , towels changed daily. My only issue was the toilet - it needed a deep clean upon arrival as it had a odour of strong urine. The ladies that cleaned the room do try their best , they do just walk in so leave a sign if you don’t want to be disturbed , twice our apartment door was left on the catch by them whilst we were out so not really happy about that. The apartments are quieter than the hotel which worked well for us , however the eldest in our group is 80 years old - the walk from the apartment to pool / restaurant , gets very tiring , with steps , 1 large step , it is definitely not wheelchair accessible. Reception did take us with our luggage on atribal and collected our luggage on check out , 10 cases this was very much appreciated . The pool & waterpark are excellent , great for all ages , comfy sun loungers - the rule of no reserving beds before 9am unfortunately is not enforced but there are plenty, the waterpark sometimes closes earlier than stated - should be 5.30 but at 5ish the bar is closed and lifeguards ask you to get out the water. The food - excellent , can’t fault the food , the staff work really hard cleaning plates , clearing tables etc , lots of choices and the ice cream tubs are the best. We had a cake made for a 40th Birthday that was €25 it was delicious & fresh, staff sang as they carried it out to the table, with the manager , thank you. Reception - always pleasant, very responsive and work really hard. The Spa- we had 3 separate treatments and all 3 ladies thoroughly enjoyed the treatments. Massive shout out to Tatiana , literally a miracle worker with her hands for the Deep Tissue Massage , probably the best massage I’ve ever had, I’d return just for a treatment with her. Location - the hotel is right at the highest point of Ayia Napa , it is quite a steep hill , we spent a fortune on taxis - the website says closest beach 300m which it probably is - but it’s down hill - then you must walk up the steep bank, consisting of uneven steps. Overall I’ve nothing negative to say about the hotel , the staff , like anywhere you get good and bad guests - some kids run riot - the lifeguards are not babysitters !!!!!!! But we had a lovely time, any request to reception they helped, can’t really fault it. I’d love to return , probably the beginning / middle of June as the hotel by the end of June was visibly busier , we had the best time thank you Tofinis.
