Akti Beach Village Resort

My wife and I have just returned from a week in Cyprus at Akti Beach. This is not going to be a standard review though, as we were there when the Covid-19 pandemic really kicked in. This is more of a thank you to the resort management and staff for all they did to cope with the situation. Knowing that they had to close, but with a decreasing number of guests to deal with, not once did they complain or drop their standards. The food selection was consistently good and varied, the staff remained friendly and efficient, the cleanliness was kept to a high standard and the drinks kept flowing. It would have been very easy to let the situation take over and limit what they offered but they stuck to their task brilliantly and allowed us to enjoy our holiday as best as the situation would allow. From both my wife and I, thank you and good luck to all of the staff in this difficult time. I'm better times, I would highly recommend Akti Beach to anyone.

We have just returned from the Akti Beach Village Resort (leaving 20/3/20) - and we cannot thank you enough for the care you have taken of us during this difficult and ever changing situation, with Covid-19. We were one of the last package holidays to arrive at the hotel before Cyprus placed its travel restrictions and gave hotels instructions to close. The staff carried on with business as usual - helpful, constant smiles, the food & drinks selection would leave you to believe the hotel was running at full capacity. The cleaning was impeccable - the hotel spotless - hand sanitiser was available everywhere! The manager was apologetic - but we feel the hotel could not have done more for us. We felt really cared for. To some practical findings... On arrival, we had missed the restaurant opening times, but were given sandwiches and crisps, and asked to get a drink at the bar before being shown to our room. We were taken through blocks of apartments designed to look similar to small village before arriving at our room (we requested a quiet room). It looked like our room had recently been refurbished. It was a really good size studio apartment, containing a little kitchenette, with tea and coffee facilities, full size fridge and hot plate etc. Tea and coffee were provided, as was a bottle of water. There was ample storage space and a large sofa bed. Twin beds - the mattresses were lovely and comfy. Our bathroom had a full size bath, with adjustable shower - and even a plug (which we’ve found several other hotel bathrooms missing)! There was a bottle of sparkling wine and fruit on the small kitchen table - I assumed this was for my birthday, which I celebrated there - within minutes of our arrival, there was a knock at the door, and I was presented with a birthday cake! Lovely touches from the hotel (thank you). We had a small terrace, which was a sun trap! The hotel bar served a large selection of soft drinks, cocktails, mocktails, coffees etc (I can recommend the Calypso coffee with lots of whipped cream). All local brands - but certainly fine for me. Bar staff would adjust quantity of ingredients on request too! No real entertainment through the week - not the hotel’s fault, but government restrictions - admittedly, we aren’t one for the entertainment anyway. The location suited us fine - lovely walks along the coast to Paphos Harbour - a few minutes walk to the bus stop (with regular buses). The hotel is right on the coast line - with beautiful views from the plentiful sun beds or bar / terrace / restaurant. Will we go back there - without a doubt. I admit I loved having so few of us in the hotel and all the attention we received. Thank you!
