Vangelis Hotel and Suites

- Restaurant/food was excellent. - Swimming pool was cold but nice. - Block D has awful view (see picture) of a unused car park, suggest move, Block A provided best view (see picture) but they charge you €20 extra a night for “upgrade”. - Kids club is poor for all ages, small, unappealing, few staff speak any English (Russian speaking), face painting was the only thing they did daily despite a full day of programmes events. When you try to speak to the ones who can speak some English they don’t offer anything more. Kids under 4 can’t be left at all. It’s a massive oversell and not to be relied upon at all. - Evening entertainment in Russian, but my kids still enjoyed the music & dancing - Hotel is clean and kept well - Staff at the restaurant, Bars & snack bar in the main and the pool lifeguard are all friendly - Adult pool is nice, but with no kids club there is little opportunity to enjoy - SPA is OK, but indoor pool, sauna is nothing spectacular, steam room wasn’t working - This is a rules based hotel, even my daughter was turned away from getting face painted because she wasn’t allowed in kids club with her dry swimming costume on. - Towels not available before 10am (so tip is keep them from the day before) - the Fine Dining Restaurant Robola was great food, but on the all inclusive package they ran out of white wine by 8pm which I found poor. Also, need to book 4+ days before in order to get a table at the time you want. - snack bar good, available all day - Location was excellent, minutes walking distance to many bars & restaurants and two beaches In summary, room to improve but fundamentally we would stay again given how good the food was and how clean and well kept the hotel is. Avoid Block D and go into block A or B facing East for view of the sea.

We have just returned from a nine night stay at this Hotel. We all had an amazing time, including our 14 &12 year old boys. The hotel is lovely, all the staff are friendly and helpful. We had a one bedroom suite, the boys slept on two separate sofas in the lounge area and we had a lovely super king size bed in the bedroom. Both rooms had their own tv and air conditioning. The bedroom had enough wardrobe and shelf space for all of our clothes. The WiFi all over the hotel was excellent and free. The safe in our room was also free. Their were tea and coffee making facilities which were topped up daily. On our arrival there was a complimentary bottle of water and some fruit. The pools were fantastic we couldn’t keep the boys out even in the shady colder areas. Pool towels are also free and you just go to the spa and change them for fresh ones. Food was fabulous and plenty of choices. We were bed and breakfast but bought food from the snack bar and paid for one evening meal. The entertainment was good, during the day we played boules and had a good laugh. There was also darts which the kids enjoyed. Night time entertained was good too. Tennis is also free, you pay a deposit but get it back (provided you haven’t broken anything) with flood lit court for evening when it’s cooler. It’s location is perfect, on the strip for restaurants and bars, close to two lovely beaches and plenty of shops. We would definitely recommend this hotel and hoping to return next year. I would also recommend taking a trip to Famagusta ghost town with Mr John, an emotional first hand experience of what happened to the people of Varosha.
