Protaras Resorts

Pros: Very little

Cons: The photos listed on Booking.com show the beach front suite with only a handful of sun loungers between the door and the beach, but the reality was more like 40-50 cheap sunloungers and a daily scrum for a scrap of space in the sun; deceitful and deceptive. In general the hotel was very overcrowded and felt more like a Butlins camp than a luxary resort. The kitchen in the suite was unusable - the fridge was broken and no kitchen essentials were provided (e.g. washing up liquid, tea-towels, chopping boards, etc.). Breakfast was cheap, greasy, generic, and mass produced fare. Most days we skipped breakfast to get away from the hotel as early as possible. All-in-all the Louis Althea Beach hotel was an unhappy experience and extremely poor value for money - it is listed as a 4* establishment, which it may have been when it was built and decorated in the 1980s, but there was no sign of investment since. If you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing, luxary stop then this is not the hotel for you.

Pros: The breakfast was great and the location was excellent. Clean comfortable rooms. Fast WiFi throughout the property. Beautiful relatively quiet beach compared to the rest of Protaras. Nice pools and reasonable prices at restaurants and bar.

Cons: The beds were not super comfortable. Two single beds instead of a queen bed in master bedroom. Furnishings somewhat aging.

Pros: Perfect location, good international and Cypriot inspired breakfast, quiet clean rooms, great staff

Cons: Beds were not very comfortable. Instead of a queen bed we had two single beds pulled together.

Pros: Ta panta itan teleia.Breakfast, lunch and dinner perfect.

Pros: Great location, very helpful staff and a tasty breakfast with plenty of food! Complimentary soft drinks, fruit, wine and bottled water. Own fridge, microwave and hob should you wish to cook. Nice and close to the beach.

Cons: The bathroom looked a little old. However, it was extremely clean and did not detract from our stay in anyway.

Pros: Location and excellent breakfast

Pros: The food was exceptional on the whole. Loads of choice and very good quality. Drinks were also very good with plenty of choice for all inclusive. The pool areas were very good and the pool was kept clean. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. The room was ok. It was nice they had filled the fridge with some drinks and snacks for our arrival. Our room was quiet but I wouldn’t want a room close to the pool areas. Some overlooked it and would be loud.

Cons: Although the drinks offer for all inclusive as considerable, it would have been nice to have had more than one local beer choice. I would have paid a little more to have access to other beers too. These could be bought but were expensive. One thing that did let the hotel down was the evening entertainment. Some nights there wasn’t any and on nights when there was it was generally basic and only on for about 30-40 min. Finally although I would recommend this hotel to families I would not do so for couples or groups with out kids. We picked a time after the main season to visit when we thought there wouldn’t been many children. We were wrong. There were still loads of kids. Mainly from Scandinavia. Although I understand this hotel is mainly geared towards families, especially in main season, if it wants to attract couples etc then it needs to offer adult only areas for example. There are two pools on site. One large main one and one smaller pool. If the second pool area was adult only and they improved the evening entertainment then I would recommend the hotel.

Pros: A very well run resort with good facilities and very close to beach. The enviroment feels very safe & ideal for families, with life guards on duty throughout the day at the pool. Staff are polite and problems were resolved quickly. For example, when we arrived, our aircon was not working properly, but was fixed within an hour of notifying reception. All in all I would recommend - especially for families.

Cons: Whilst the overall resort and facilities are good, the Family Suite we had booked seemed a little outdated & a little tatty in places & would definitely benefit from a refurb. It was very clean though. Staff, whilst polite, in some cases could use a little more customer service training. an example would be, on arrival me, my 11 year old daughter and my obviously pregnant partner were not offered any help to get luggage to our room, despite there being several staff around reception and no one else awaiting service. Not a major problem but worth a mention.

Pros: Lovely setting by the sea, friendly and helpful staff, good variety of foods, child friendly, nice complex - cosy and not too big, great walks /runs along the seafront. Small sandy beach just outside the hotel, lovely clear, water, good for snorkelling.

Cons: I would have liked a second key to the hotel room as the door self locked and if one person was inside with the key the other couldn't get in without the person on the inside opening, or leaving the door ajar. Not sure if second keys were available as I didn't ask.

Pros: The staff were exceptionally helpful.

Cons: Our booking had not been received and we had to wait some time before our rooms were ready.

Pros: Decent variety of choice

Cons: No pots for tea or fresh milk.

Pros: location is absolutely amazing, its around 7 min walk from the main street in Protoras but you dont have any noise and crowd as the flat is just a little bit away from it. there is free parking available which was very handy as we rented a car. also, within 30 min drive we found around 10 different beaches which was great, so every day we could drive to a new one without spending a lot of time for travelling. food shops are very close as well which was useful. communication was very good with a company we booked from as we had several issues, like tv didnt work as well as washing machine, but everything was fixed straight away there is a dishwasher and a washing liquid for it was provided safe box was in the room and was free of charge the wardrobe was massive and had a lot of storage the bedroom itself was really good size

Cons: cleaning is definitely need an improvement. when we moved in the flat was clean, but shower, taps,hob etc wasn't fresh at all. if you move a sofa or a bed, you can see a lot of dirt underneath. during our stay we supposed to have one free cleaning which has happen, but apart of the washed floor nothing really has changed. neither table or worktop in the kitchen was wiped, crumbles were everywhere, we left when the cleaners came so didnt wash up our cups, they just left them in the sink, which wasnt cleaning either. so if you are into a good clean, you will struggle. i understand that self catering apartment means you have to buy staff yourself, but when you got for holidays, the things like bin bags is something you would never remember to buy in the shop, so i do think that they could have been provided also the pan fry was absolutely terrible, we used so much oil just to have an omelette or eggs, but still everything burned, so unfortunately it was impossible to use the mattress on the bed was really bad, i definitely think that its time for it to go, if u want to have an amazing hotel sleep, no chance as amount of noise it makes even when you turn yourself its unbelievable.

Pros: Great location, amazing view, new, modern apartment

Cons: I am really disappointed with VILLAS 2 LET Company. The owner personal note said that a cleaner would have come every 3 days to clean the apartment. We have stayed 10 days and we didn't see the cleaner once.

Pros: Very good location, right at the sea, nice pool, good apartment with balcony and little own courtyard.

Cons: The cleanliness of the common areas should be better.

Pros: Quiet location - easy access to Protaras and Ayia Napa!

Pros: Well equipped kitchen with full fridge, freezer washing machine and dishwasher. Great location Two pool areas

Cons: Cleanliness of communal areas was quite poor, pool areas were not obviously tidied or cleaned.

Pros: Cheap, washing machine and dishwasher in room. Air con fully functional. On previous visits to other locations in Cyprus I have found that the A/C is only turned on in May.

Cons: Visited in late April (left on the 23rd) and spa facilities were not available. The pool in block B did not appear to be heated. Maybe it is possible to use the pool in block A if it is heated?

Pros: Location Amenities in apartment Spacious apartment Fantastic value for money. Overall very pleased!!!

Cons: Beds were very uncomfortable Would have liked floor length mirror to get ready Cleaners called on last but one day to clean. Would have liked them to call mid week

Pros: Location is a bit out of the noise of the city center, but still close to the beach. The pool is really nice. Everything you need is close by. Sunrise is to die for (if you have the see view).

Cons: Swimming pool's cleaning system is a bit noisy and you can hear it during the night.

Pros: the apt is very nice and the vew is grate

Cons: we ordered an apt with direct vew to the sea but did not get one/ only after we phoned the manegment and after one day they gave us a diffrent apt with a grate vew
