Got married here in May 08. Could not have been better.
Beautiful Location, Great Food, Friendly and Helpful staff. Probably the best hotel for weddings in Ayia Napa.

I have posted a few photo's of the Rondavel Beach Bar which are difficult to find on the web.

If your thinking of booking it, just do it you wont regret it.

We stayed at the Nissi beach for 7 days 18-25th May with our 2 year old daughter. Arrived at 4pm in the afternoon to be welcomed with orange juice and cold towels while sitting on ratten sofas in the lobby completing our registration forms, this made the whole process very relaxing, infact we never had to give a print of our credit cards and the hotel didnt request passports, so totally trustworthy.

After reading so many great reviews I was worried the hotel would be a diappointment but I'm pleased to report it lived up to my expectations. The grounds are beautiful with lits of lovely flowering shrubs with the blue blue sea as a backdrop, quite breathtaking to sit on the terrace bar soaking up the view and sipping one of the wicked cocktails-bliss!!

We were very fortunate to be staying in a beach suite, and although a little dated the room was clean and a good size with large kingsize bed and steps down into a small lounge which also had 2 sfa beds. Waiting for us was a complimentary bottle of wine and bowl of fruit.. The brach was about 100feet from the bungalow and I loved sitting on the terrace in the evening listening to the sound of the waves rolling in, if you can stretch to paying that extra I would recomend upgrading.

We booked accomodation only with Thomas cook and ended up paying just £750 for the weeks accomodation, not sure how we managed this bargain but if you book direct with the hotel you are looking at over 200 euros a night, so it may be worth looking at this option if you havn't already booked- our flights were booked on the net with Thomsonfly and we pre booked an hire car with Europa @Larnaca airport for the week.

The Beach is lovely with white soft sand and clear blue sea, we always sat in the area reserved for hotel guests, cost of 2 chairs and umbrella 4.20 euros but make sure you say you are hotel guests otherwise you are charged a few euros more. Although our daughter enjoyed the beach she found the sea a little chilly and the sand gets very hot so not kind to walk on. We therefore tended to do beach in the morning and pool in the afternoon, with maybe another hour around 6ish when the temperature had cooled and the sand was ok to walk on, this was a lovely time to be on the beach paddling in the sea with no shoreline walkers to contend with. One thing to mention is you are provided daily with blue towels for use on beach or pool, we didnt realise this and packed beach towels which weigh a tonne.

Our daughter spent most of the week in the baby pool which is about 0.5 metres deep enabling her to walk about with water up to her waist, lots of holidaymakers leave pool toys on the side for all the kids to play with, this enabled our daughter to have hours of fun playing with watering cans,balls etc etc

The main pool is also lovely and surrounded by lots of palm trees giving shade from the hot sun, although there was also plenty of large umbrellas. We would sometimes get to the pool mid afternoon and never had a problem finding sun loungers or umbrellas, the water was refreshing and I think it must be heated because it was never cold even on the couple of cloudy days we had.
I also recommend the pool bar which served drinks and food until 5ish, it was great sitting having a drink after a day at the pool, and our daughter often ate an early tea of hot dog&chips, unfortunately one of the few meals we could get her to eat all week.

Breakfast was served in the main restaurant and this was the usual buffet stuff, lots of choice and very good coffee brought to your table in a coffee pot which served about 4 cups.

We never ate dinner at the hotel prefering to venture out in the evening, can highly recommend The Gardens reastaurant just accross the road, which also as a small play area for young ones, very popular but we never waited for a table, would also highly recommend the mexican just off the square in central Ayia Napa, was last there 10 years ago and it was just as good as I remembered, husband loved the spicy chicken wings and ribs, he was in 'foody heaven' that night made even more special because our 2 year old fell asleep on the 40 minute walk it took us to reach the square enabling us to eat in peace for a couple of hours!!

So all in all a fantastic week in a fantastic hotel, one of the best we''ve stayed in, our only slight gripe would be the music from the wedding parties did tend to go on into late evening-around midnight which from a selfish point of view stopped us sitting outside our room listening to that beautiful sound of sea crushing against the shore, but at the end of the day this was only a very small negative on a great week.

We staid at the Hotel from May 26 to June 04. The place is great, territory is huge and extremely green. The sea is very clean, send is white. We lived in main building, and we had sea view-room ( actually all rooms in this hotel are sea view), it was quite OK with little balcony. The meal (breakfast and dinner) was great, different varieties of meet, salads, fruits anything you want. Location of the Hotel is quite good, many restaurants and bars outside, 40min walk to Ayanapa or you can take bus (schedule on reception). We went to Larnaca by bus twice (8.6 euro 2-way ticket).
The only inconvenience for us was a lot of weddings, in the evening they celebrated too loudly till 1 or 2 a.m so we couldn’t sleep well.

Stayed here with my wife and 2 year old daughter in April 2008. We had never been to Cyprus but had only heard good things. We travelled with First Choice and chose to take a taxi to the hotel. It only took 30 mins and cost 45 euros. The hotel is very welcoming and the staff are all genuinely pleasant. The hotel looks like it was built in the 70s but has obviously been refitted much more recently.
The location is right on Nissi Beach which has to be one of the nicest I have ever seen. It competes with beaches I have seen in the caribbean. White sand, pale blue sea, shallow calm water. Very beautiful. The water was a bit cold but for the time of year not bad. It was still possible to go swimming even if you are a bit of a coward!
The breakfasts were abundant and delicious. Hard to avoid overeating. The lunches are in the Taverna where the food is prbably the best. The fish and seafood are particularly good and the service was excellent. We were on half board and paid for our lunch but it was usually about 15 euros each. Dinner was in the main hotel and can be a bit repetitive but the food was nice and the buffet format suited our young daughter as there was never any waiting to get a meal.
We had a beach front suite which lives up to its name. 10m to the the beachfront and fantastic views over the bay. Plenty of space and the room was clean and quite nicely furnished. Well worth the extra expense in my opinion.
We didn't really leave the hotel except to go out for dinner two nights in Ayia Napa so can't comment on outside nightlife.
Most of the guests in the hotel were Russian when we were there. The hotel atmosphere was generally quiet and relaxing. Not great for people who want to be clubbing all night. Plenty to do for kids.
Overall, I have to say we had a fantastic time and would definitely go back.
