Louis St Elias Resort

We were going to Cyprus for my nephew's wedding and were booked with Thomas Cook to the hotel they were marrying in. After that collapsed we had to re-book and chose this hotel instead, and we're glad we did. We had a one bedroom suite (our son slept in the living room) and it was perfect for the 3 of us. We arrived too late for dinner but in our fridge was a welcome pack of sandwiches, crackers and cheese, crisps, fruit, bottled water and a bottle of fizz. Our cleaner was great - even though neither of us spoke each other's language we managed to work things out. We used the pool with the slides - my son was in his element - and all staff we encountered were very friendly. They had a fridge at this pool where you could help yourselves to rolls, fruit, yoghurt and water and hot food of burgers, hot dogs and chips could be ordered at the bar. The entertainment staff were great at night time too, and always had time to talk to us afterwards. The entertainment finished around 10.30pm and then it was very quiet, which was lovely. If you want it busier, then it was just a short walk of 10/15 mins to all the bars and restaurants you could need. The food was good, we're not huge fans of buffet food but it was plentiful and we could all chose what we wanted. Good bus service dropping you off at Fig Tree Bay, which we did one day but came home quickly as my son said it was boring and too sandy - so back to the slides it was!! On our last day, after dropping our bags off with the Jet2 staff, we found a bottle of olive oil and a letter of thanks from the hotel, which was a lovely touch. We would definitely stay here again.

Myself and my family have visited this hotel twice in the last few years. The rooms are clean and Spacious and the hotel are very accommodating if you email them prior to your holiday with a room or location preference. The food is superb, fresh and tasty . We would normally eat outside of the hotel a couple of times during an all inclusive holiday but we didn’t feel the need to during both of our stays here . Wine was quite good and the beer ok but the cocktails like a lot of European all inclusive resorts not so good. The hotel is in an elevated position above Protaras and around a 15- 20 minute walk to the bars and restaurants. The grounds are abundant with fig trees and beautiful views overlooking the bay and town. Entertainment in the evening was quite poor ( animation team cabaret and bingo etc) and once it had finished at around 10.30pm there was little going on, good if your looking for a quiet relaxing place if not grab a taxi and head to bars in Protaras which is what we did for a couple of evenings when we fancied a change from the cheesy shows. Two pool areas one with water slides and the other with an adult only jacuzzi area. We could always get sun beds even though both our visits were during summer peak season. The hotel also runs a curtesy mini bus to and from the stunning Fig Tree Bay several times a day . On the whole a nice place for an enjoyable family holiday in the sun with well above average food.
