Cyprus hotels & accommodations
Amazing family resort, friendly staff and spacious rooms. Food includes live stations where you can enjoy local cuisine. Facilities for leisure activities are available and well organised, plenty of pools and sea beach. Still my first choice in North Cyprus.
It was great! All staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave us early check in cause we had a wedding ceremony in the middle of the day and early check in was surely important for us - my bride was prepared in the room, made hairstyling and photo session. Thanks for that! Also our room was the best one with great sea view, nicely decorated and with handwritten con...

The hotel has a very unique location as it’s close to the busy street of Ayia Napa but what i didn’t like is that using the safe in the room costs 3€ per day noting that this hotel is not cheap one and i’ve never seen a hotel charging for using the safe.
The Hotel has parking at the front and easily found. We had a very warm Welcome from Natalie Who told us what is on offer at the hotel. The room was spacious light with tea & coffee even an expresso machine ! It had bottled water and some traditional Cypriot sweets. A mini bar fridge lovely views of the sea and swimming pools. Bed was large and comfy We only there f...
The Dome is not a 5 Star hotel, and its not pretending to be like so many others. Is is still however of a very high standard. Having experienced a number of hotels in Cyprus with rude staff. The Dome can boast that they have the best customer service I have experienced so far. The hotel is older and the decor reflects this. The room I stayed in was larger than average...
Have known this hotel for a long time yet the renovation that it has done, gave the hotel a modern refreshing delightful ambiance. Even staying for a night, I would recommend this hotel not only for large spacious clean comfortable rooms but its good food and well mannered alert staff. The only upset in staying here is it's internet charges or even so at the lobby whe...
I would like to highly recommend this hotel. Everything was super and more. Hotel is very nicely furnished and super clean. Our room had a huge balcony and was cozy. All staff were friendly and helpful. Only 6 minutes by taxi to Paphos harbour. Breakfast was delicious and Spa was also very good.
Hi Sergul thank you for your hospitality on my stay at your hotel the Prince Inn located in the Karaoglanoglu area its a family run establishment with a small friendly staff but that makes it all the more charming, the location is wonderful everything within walking distance, but travelling further afield to explore the island presents no problem at all i will certai...
We live in the Greek part of Cyprus, in Limassol, and booked a " long weekend" to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. The price was very good, it included breakfast and dinner. The location is good if you have your own car or rental car because it is 8 km outside of Kyrenia. Rooms good and clean. Reception staff and room personal very nice and friendly. Restaurant ...
Our first time golfing in Cyprus or Turkey surpassed all expectations. Exceptional weather for end of Feb a perfect 24c for golf, set off this naturally beautiful, well-presented, immaculate course in a perfect light. Delightfully friendly staff could not do enough to make you feel relaxed and welcome. Not cheap but you get what you pay for - good value. Many than...
When we booked, as this was only a 3 star we weren't expecting much but we were very, very pleasantly surprised & would honestly say its more like a 4 star! Our room was lovely, spacious, with a big balcony, spotlessly clean (as was the rest of the hotel) with a very nice modern en-suite bathroom, microwave, refrigerator, TV, cutlery/plates, free electronic safe, free...

Big territory for such hotel. Very quiet and peaceful. Room a bit old but has very fancy and qute furniture. The terrace was very beautiful. 3 swimming pools - this is cool. The organic shop has the best fruits in Cyprus. Breakfast is nothing special. But has a spectacular view. Wi-fi is working in the rooms.
We visiting Paphos and this hotel during the New Years Period. The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful. My partner and I are a Young couple (early 30's) so from the photos, location and reviews - we were expecting a little more to be honest. I wouldn't personally recommend to younger couples as there are probably more modern places we would prefer as we thought i...
We stayed at the hotel on the 15th of August which is the peak holidays season in Cyprus and that's why hotels increase their prices a lot. The price of € 160 per night was cheaper than other hotels in its own class in Limassol but still not cheap enough to justify some of its irregularities. First of all, the rooms should have been cleaner and more modern just how roo...
The service was excellent, the food very good, especially breakfast choices. We stayed on a B&B basis but ate at one of the restaurants, Koi, which we found to be excellent. Location is great and just across the coastal path from the beach. The room was modern and spacious with excellent facilities. Would return.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in Northern Cyprus. The location and facilities are excellent and the service is great. View of the mountains and sea spectacular.
We went for a long weekend break from southern Cyprus. The hotel was set in lovely gardens with two pools, the room was clean and well maintained, food was good with plenty of choice. The Hotel is located away from the Harbour hustle and bustle, but it is a long walk in the heat if you want to visit the main sites of Kyrenia.
Would say that this boutique hotel is 4 star Cyprus standard, but 3 if comparing with main land Europe and Far East. Very clean and spacious rooms, with great buffet breakfast. 5 mins walk to sea front, hoghly recommend.
The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. No matter what dept everyone had a smile and went out of their way to help. Had a really relaxing time with my family revisiting Cyprus. Would certainly stay here again.
The location is perfect, a small relatively quiet side street. Cafés 50 meters walk, beach and promenade 2 minute casual walk away with any restaurant or cafe, bar you would want. Supermarket and laundromat similar distance. Guest parking in front of hotel. Very helpful staff. Had issue with TV - they fixed immediately. Room is cleaned daily. Everything worked well...
Lovely hotel, the layout of the rooms and grounds adds to its' uniqueness. This hotel has something for everyone who wants a relaxing break. Great pool, tennis courts, gym and restaurant. My family (2 adults & 2 children) stayed in an executive suite and had lots of space. The rooms are arranged in twos which adds to the feeling of seclusion. The resort is set on a ste...
Friendly staff, who try their best to assist Our room, 313, is a 1 bedroom apartment, with kitchen facilities, dining table, sofa, flat screen TV and bench area. The room also has a in room safe, second TV in the bedroom, robes, large shower area and laminated timber floors throughout. Free parking is also available upon request. The hotel has a pool, pool lounges, g...
unfortunately I only enjoyed this place for a couple of hours. I was very pleased with it. I will definitely book there again if I go to Larnaca.
It was my first visit in Cyprus and very successful!!! the people in Cyprus very nice. the stuff was very patient! the breakfast was very varied. i'am sure that we'll come back
The hotel has a lot of facilities and the staff are very friendly and helpful, however a lot of the hotel feels very dated. I know they have started to refurbish some rooms however the majority look like they are out of the 70’s and really not good enough for the price they charge. Location is fine if you are happy to drive everywhere or simply stay in the hotel comple...
This is our third visit in the past three months and we have another booking for September. We were welcomed with a friendly smile and greeting from Farouk on reception. A very clean, friendly hotel, the staff are very obliging and go out of their way to help. Lovely clean pool and pool area. The hotel is no good to anyone with walking difficulties, rather hilly and r...
When I have come to the hotel, I was wondered where is reception. It was found in the Flamingo hotel to the right side of the Mackenzie Apartments block. We have 1 week stay and it was comfortable but only when we have switched standard appartment to 1 bedroom suite. You can have some food (self-service) for breakfast, lunch and dinner for reasonable price inside hote...
It was easy to locate the hotel. It is located just next to Cyprus bank and along the main strip of street lined with other hotels, restaurants and shops. The lobby desk is up a flight of stairs from the street. The owner of Christys Palace is a very friendly man who always has a smile on his face. We got a double room on the 2nd floor with a sweeping view of Pedoulas ...
Cheap places to stay in Cyprus

This old traditional house is renovated into a true hostel experience. Common areas to socialize, nice verandas, spacious kitchen with everything you need.. what else? Helpful staff willing to share the secrets of the town! Will visit lemongrass again ; )
Everything was perfect- Studio was clean and tidy, no complains !

Lovely, spacious 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment has everything you need, fully equipped kitchen, comfy lounge and dining area. Bedrooms are large and the place is very clean. There’s a pool in the complex, would be lovely in summer (we couldn’t use as the weather was too cold) the place is a bit of a walk from the centre of town 20-30mins stroll. Alternatively ther...
Very comfortable rooms. Beautiful view of the sea, the old town. Private bathroom, toilet. Fast internet. Separate, shared kitchen. Nearby are many cafes and restaurants. Recommend!
My names Quan. I would recommend all of you to book this hotel when you travel to Larnaca. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. One thing that I liked most when i was there is the attitude of the staff toward guests. One guy emailed them he would arrive late arrounx midnight, and you know what, the receptionist waited until 3am just to make sure this guest didn't n...
In the heart of Kapparis, friendly staff, very close to Firemans beach and the local bars, came here in what turned out to be the rainy season but have been to Kapparis many times before in the height of summer and we love the place.
no wifi in the room (additional fee).
This hotel should NOT be listed under Paphos. It is 38 km hire car away in Polis !! This should be made much clearer in the listing. Had we arrived without a car it would have been impossible to get to the hotel.
Absolutely loved the hosts, they really cannot do enough for you, fresh eggs & fruit, the little touches were amazing! the pool being so far from the complex was an issue & I only went once due to this. Also the apartments really need some tlc & updating! I would recommend here for someone who doesn't want a massive pool & wants to relax in the gardens!
Eleni and her husband welcomed us on arrival and showed us to a well appointed family room with a large sun terrace. Eleni could not have been more helpful, and treated us as though we were family members. The hospitality was so good we are already planning our second trip! Thank you Eleni and family. Thomas
This is a lovely old hotel, in a secluded corner of the beach near Kyrenia. Perfect view of the sea from the rooms, and just a step across the road into a lounge chair two feet from the waves. Rooms were elegantly furnished, well-kept, and perfectly clean. Wifi was excellent. It would be the perfect hotel for a beach vacation in Northern Cyprus, but the stay was marred...
Flawless modern and comfortable condo about 1km from the old city walls. Near large supermarket and restaurants. Laundry machine very convenient and aircon was a lifesaver during the 39C days I had in Famagusta. Owners were even nice enough to drop me off when I left. Great experience.
apartment seems to be renovated but things like lights shower or furniture completely forgotten
The apartment was good, great location close to many restaurants and dive center, the owner of the house was kind, helpful and responsive
Family run hotel and made to feel very much at home as part of the family. Everyone so friendly and helpful. Will definitely return and recommend Antonis G Hotel Apartments to friends and family.
Everything was great! Clean, friendly staff, and cheap enough.
This is a great place to stay in the Troodos mountains. Scenery gorgeous and everything about the hotel superb. Just do not be on a diet! The food quality is excellent and copious!
We've stayed twice. It has a great location in the old town, close to the beachfront. The apartments are very comfortable with good facilities. Very good wifi. Demetris, who runs Lakis Court, speaks perfect English and is very helpful. Highly recommended

It's a big apartment, saloon with big TV, 3 rooms, kitchen, balcony. The owner lives in front, so in case you need something you can ask him. The house is enough far from the main avenue and for this reason is very quiet at night. I slept very well all the nights on its comfortable bed. I recommend it.
We are quite happy with our stay. Thank you very much.
Good location, 5-7 mins from Coral Bay beach, Philippos supermarket across the street. We booked an one bedrom apartament and we found that it was a 2 bedrom apartment with a large living room / kitchen with all the facilities that you would normally have at home. Awesome holiday at Petsas apartments.
My husband and I spent 2 nights here and just loved it. Efti, the owner is so kind and helpful. We enjoyed walking around the town, stopping by different cafes, restaurant and shops and meeting some of the locals. The hotel is beautiful and cosy. It is the perfect place to stay for your visit in Lefkara.
Wonderful staff, nice customers all over the world, very clean room, regular daily cleaning, sweet smell towels, confortable bed, hot shower even in the midnight, rich breakfast, nice walk to the seaside, fast wifi, fast cooling refrigerator, hundreds of tv channels, east mediterranean flavour, wonderful wonderful...
... but a little bit expensive regarding the "not so recent" amenities and furnitures (56 euros for the smallest studio / without breakfast). But it's all very clean. The very good and warm welcome from the owners is truly present.
Everything is great in Blue Harbour Boutique Apartments, spacious room with sofa, big bathroom, clean toilet, clothes hangers, kettle, coffee... 10 minutes walk to the InterCity Bus Terminal, bus 101, 102 to and from Cape Greco, very convenient!

Terrific, six-night stay at the Lordos Hotel Apartments! The staff couldn't have been more welcoming - always a smile, and always willing to help with questions. My studio room was spacious and impeccably clean. In-room safe, refrigerator, and even small kitchenette make things comfortable and convenient. Wifi also worked great, a relief after stays at many places with...
While excellent in every other respect, this place is best for those who are not sensitive to noise when they sleep, and perhaps aren't in the unit much during the day. The walls aren't very thick. The above unit has no floor carpet, so every step resounds as a loud ceiling THUNK. Noise travels from adjacent units as well. In addition, there's a good deal of amb...
Good location, good size hotel (small), with a very attentive staff. Small apartments with a fully serviced Kitchnet work prefect for families with small children.
We had a three day stay at the hotel at the very beginning of the season and we loved it. My husband had a birthday and the receptionist helped me organizing a cake without any extra charge. The room are quite comfortable though not big. The only problems we had is the cold - these kinds of hotels are not customized for cold weather, don't have heating in the bathroom ...
An excellent stay, the only downside was it was a little noisy in our room at the front of the hotel, the room would benefit from sound proofing windows. Otherwise is really was excellent and will definitely stay again and also recommend.
To tell you the truth I did not expect much from a guest house in a village but I was disappointed. Firstly the location is nice, In a small village with stone pavement, quiet. Maybe this is all you need for a relaxing getaway from the city. But there is the price. 100 euro per night for a room which has nothing to offer and smelled too bad due to the open fireplace,...
3 nights , amazing accommodation. the owner was great and helped us with everything,house fully equipped, best location, clean and comfort!! even forgot my ipad and the owners send it to me by express mail. A++++ dont think twice!!!!! we all enjoyed it
The young man who checked us in was quick and friendly. We had a room on the top floor over looking the pool area. The room was large and clean with a small kitchen area, table and four chairs.There was a small tv but we couldn't get any English channels at all. The bathroom was dated but again clean with a shower/bath. The bedroom was very basic but did us fine. We sa...
Doga is very good person, he response any requirement immediately and very polite. The guesthouse is very good, big living room and kitchen, 24hours hot water, also with big garret and can see the ⭐️.The location are very convenient. We hope can stay there again. Thank you for your help during we stay in North Cyprus.
Irreproachable! We had a great time there, and the studio looks exactly like in the site pictures. Stuff welcomed us with a smile, gave us all the details we need to move around, very kind and polite, willing to help in any situation. Its so close to the beach and basically to the center. We loved the stay and we will definitely recommend it to our friends. Thank you!...
vary clean and nice room . good location . friendly, helpful manager . He provided great service . one of the best vacation I've ever had. Highly recommended.
the best Apartments I have stayed in the staff where TOP CLASS
The apartment is located in the centre of Larnaca close to nice restaurants and bars. It is ideal for who are planning to discover the island for day trips by car or tours. The staff and the property owner were very helpful in giving advices and assistance during the stay. In the apartment there is everything you need and Larnaca is a beautiful town where to spend you...
Smooth check in and check out. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We booked 2 bedrooms apartment. The master room toilet could not flush properly. The common room toilet light was down and we had to wait at the room for them to fix it and thus we missed the departure time to see the sunset at the Bay :( Overall good, recommended.

This hotel does not have the decor standards of other 5star hotels but it is clean and very organised however there is a restricted atmosphere that doesn’t allow staff the freedom to use their initiative and is a little invasive for the guests who are not given enough privacy. Dishes removed while you or your partner are still eating. Too many difrent waiters and manag...
Top marks to the receptionists, very very professional, 100 metres from the beach, excellent breakfast, great view , lobby and breakfast room again top marks, the room itself spacious but rather tired and so are some of the towels. Housemaids , imported, not really experienced and some of the staff have no knowledge of the local language. I understand the whole h...
The hotel itself is very nice, the lobby, lounge bar and swimming pool are 5 stars and breakfast is very good. Room was basic but clean with a nice balcony, the bed was uncomfortable.

More about Cyprus
Discover the Allure of Cyprus
Cyprus is a captivating island that beckons travelers with its rich tapestry of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Known for its sun-kissed beaches and charming villages, Cyprus offers a unique blend of ancient ruins, modern attractions, and a vibrant local culture. The island’s history dates back thousands of years, with influences from various civilizations, including the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines, all of which have left their mark on this enchanting destination.
One of the island's most alluring features is its stunning coastline, dotted with picturesque beaches that invite relaxation and exploration. From the golden sands of Nissi Beach to the serene shores of Latchi Beach, there’s a perfect spot for every beach lover. Beyond the beaches, the rugged mountains and lush valleys offer a different kind of beauty, ideal for hiking and nature walks. The Akamas Peninsula National Park, with its diverse flora and fauna, is a must-visit for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in Cyprus’s natural wonders.
Culture thrives in Cyprus, where traditional festivals, delicious cuisine, and warm hospitality create an inviting atmosphere. Visitors can explore vibrant markets, taste local delicacies, and experience the island's rich musical heritage. The charm of Cypriot villages, such as Lefkara, known for its lace-making, and Omodos, famous for its wine, adds to the island's allure. Whether you are wandering through ancient ruins or enjoying a meal at a family-run taverna, Cyprus offers a delightful experience that will linger in your memory long after you leave.
When to Embrace the Sun in Cyprus
Timing your visit to Cyprus can significantly enhance your experience on this beautiful island. The best time to soak up the sun and enjoy the beaches is during the warm summer months from June to September. During this period, temperatures can soar, making it perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and indulging in water sports. The lively beach bars and restaurants come alive, creating a vibrant atmosphere that is hard to resist.
If you prefer milder weather and fewer crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (October to November). These months offer pleasant temperatures, making them ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring historical sites without the sweltering heat. Additionally, local festivals and events are often held during these times, providing a glimpse into Cypriot culture and traditions.
Winter months are also a great time to visit Cyprus, particularly for those interested in cultural explorations. The weather is cooler, but it still remains relatively mild compared to other European destinations. This is the perfect season to visit museums, churches, and archaeological sites, as well as to enjoy the local cuisine in cozy restaurants. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Cyprus offers a unique charm that captivates travelers year-round.
Essential Travel Tips for a Memorable Cyprus Adventure
Traveling to Cyprus can be a delightful experience, especially when equipped with some essential tips. First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the local customs and etiquette. Cypriots are known for their warmth and hospitality, and a friendly greeting can go a long way. It’s customary to greet with a handshake and to say “Kalimera” (good morning) or “Kalispera” (good evening) when meeting someone. Understanding a few basic phrases in Greek or Turkish can also enhance your interactions with locals.
When it comes to currency, Cyprus uses the Euro (€), making it convenient for travelers from the Eurozone. ATMs are widely available, and credit cards are accepted in most establishments. However, carrying some cash for small purchases or local markets is advisable. Don’t forget to check if you need any travel documents, such as a valid passport or visa, depending on your nationality.
Lastly, ensure you have travel insurance that covers health and accidents while abroad. Cyprus is generally safe for tourists, but it's always good to be prepared. Keeping emergency contact numbers handy and knowing the location of nearby hospitals can provide peace of mind during your travels. With these tips in hand, you're set for an unforgettable adventure in Cyprus.
Where to Lay Your Head in Cyprus
Finding the perfect place to stay in Cyprus is essential for a memorable trip. The island boasts a wide range of accommodations, catering to every type of traveler. For those seeking luxury, the City of Dreams Mediterranean offers a lavish experience with world-class amenities and stunning views. This resort is perfect for indulging in a little pampering after a day of exploring the island.
