Little piece of paradise, faultless

30 Sep 2024
We are currently staying at the hotel for our 30th Wedding Anniversary in a private pool room (6) this hotel is exceptional. We've stayed in many hotels abroad both 4 and 5* ratings and this has to be my favourite. The rooms are carefully designed for luxury and relaxation. The cleaning is exceptional. Fresh towels and pool towels daily and toiletries if needed. 2 small bottles of water are provided daily. The maids seems to know when you've gone for breakfast and clean at that time. The private pool is the best thing about the hotel rooms. We used our all the time and the outside patio area. What a fantastic idea. Breakfast is the best I've ever had. It's served A la carte, the service and freshness of the food again is faultless. The staff are excrement friendly and welcoming. The coffee is also very good. I've stayed in many places where the morning coffee isn't nice. The main pool area is spotless and the pool is huge. I'm a regular swimmer so I found this great for swimming lengths. There was never anyone else in the pool. The bar staff are very friendly and they will make anything for you, if they have the ingredients. They make great Baileys coffees! The Spa area is stunning and I've booked a massage for tomorrow at a reasonable price. The beach is 5 mins walk, we've seen baby turtles twice since arriving . We've walked to Laganas and back along the beach. The main strip is approx 15 mins walk and isn't overly busy. We usually go to Protaras and it isn't as busy as Cyprus. We've had some lovely meals out. The Italian above Sizzle & Grill and Dias being our favourite so far. We've enjoyed the airport cafe for lunch and the Kalamaki beach Taverna, both great service and food. The hotel is on the flight path and I didn't realise how close it was and the noise of the engines. However this has not bothered us at all, in fact we now enjoy watching the planes. They don't fly at night so no disturbed sleep. If there was 1 thing missing, I works suggest a small hanging line or place to hang wet swimwear. We had to use the table. The hotel is exceptional and a great place to celebrate our special anniversary. We've made memories to last a lifetime. I've already looked to come back next year.

We found all the locals to be very welcoming Fantastic holiday

Pure relaxation

31 Aug 2024
We have had the best time at this hotel. Small, quiet, friendly and understated luxury. The sun beds are the most comfortable I have ever used. The pool is gorgeous, big enough to have a proper swim and very calm. Because there aren’t many rooms, there is space to spread out and breathe. There is none of the towel saving frenzy you see elsewhere. Rooms are very special and the private pool is a proper treat. Staff go out of their way to look after you and the service is fantastic at the pool bar and for breakfast. A la carte breakfasts are delicious- you can eat what you want and as much of it as you like with freshly squeezed orange juice and really good coffee. It’s only a few minutes from a lovely beach and 10 or so to the main strip. We didn’t really find many restaurants in Kalamaki to match the quality of this hotel but we ate out every night and enjoyed what we chose. Didn’t mind the flight path - but the planes do come very low. The only thing that would have improved the experience for us would have been a view of the sea. Nothing the hotel can do anything about but there is something special about opening your curtains in the morning to a sea view. Kalamaki itself is not my favourite ever resort and for that reason we probably wouldn’t return. But we have had a wonderful relaxing and restorative stay.

Fantastic hotel!

31 Aug 2024
We stayed here for two weeks as part of our 50th birthday celebrations. The room , with private pool, was spacious and incredibly clean and tidy with all the amenities you need. Room had fridge, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and ample storage space. The rooms were serviced every day with clean towels for the bathroom and pool- maids were lovely and friendly and quick and efficient. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious with plenty of choices. We must mention Michael and Maria who worked so hard every morning to ensure that our breakfast experience was top notch! They really are super stars! Kelly, who worked behind the bar, was also a fantastic ambassador for the hotel- always happy to help. We found the staff to be very helpful, professional and always on hand to help. This has been our favourite European location to date and hope to return next year. The location is minutes from the beach and a short stroll from the strip . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here - it’s beautiful! The only thing we could really pick fault with would be the air- conditioning. It wasn’t really powerful enough for the heat of the day.
