Hotel Chrystalla

The hotel is in a good location - very close to the beach. What is more, you can book a room with a sea view. For breakfast and dinner there is a huge choice of delicious snacks and waiters are very kind and helpful. Rooms are cleaned everyday. AC in the room. By the hotel there is a pool where you can chill.... we are very satisfied :)

Have stayed at the Chrystalla many times over the years with my wife and family.The hotel is right on fig tree baybeach just across the road if you like walking there is aboard walk that goes up the coast towards penera.All the staff and management are very friendly and helpful. The food is very good with different themed nights.The strip is just two minutes walk away with all the bars and restaurants as is the bus stop toAyia napa. Would definitely go back to this lovely hotel again

We visited with TUI in mid-October and experienced out of season weather, which made our stay a little challenging. Superior sea view room was fine and we had a fantastic view of the rain, thunderstorms and enormous choppy waves that basically confined us to our room for most of our week's stay. The pool was fine, clean and nice to swim in when the sun did eventually come out. The food was okay but I would not recommend half or full board if you are celiac. The kitchen didn't really know how to deal with a food allergy. We had a couple of nice meals in Protaras including a very good steak at Folio round the corner. Most of the restaurants on the main strip are overpriced and not authentic at all. We hired a car one day and drove to a fantastic place about 10km away called Mousikos. This was the best authentic food we ate the whole time! The best thing about this hotel is that it is very near the small Fig Tree beach, so you can go down for a dip in the sea any time of day and then come back to the hotel to change or whatever. When the weather cleared we had some very nice snorkelling here around the little island and saw lots of interesting fish. The hotel staff were friendly and helped us to take the bus to Ayia Napa for the day. There wasn't much atmosphere in the bar but there are lots of places to drink on the main strip, if you like themed bars, karaoke and cabaret. My overall impression of Protaras wasn't great and I wouldn't come back, but this hotel is definitely one of the better places to stay and reasonable value. Try and get a sea view that doesn't overlook the car park. Mind you, I did enjoy watching the stray cats and kittens at night.
