Island Boutique Hotel

Pros: By the beach, with free chairs and umbrellas, and close to the airport. Walking distance (30 minutes) from the historical center. Spacious rooms. Cons: The hotel advertises that all rooms have see views, but the 1st floor has a view that's mostly obstructed by the roof. If you are going to pay full-price for the view, request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, otherwise it's money thrown away. The beach is not as nice as in other nearby places (Ayia Napa, for instance), but the water looks clean. The problem is the sand: full of litter thrown by guests and not cleaned by the property or the municipality - disgusting to walk barefoot. Breakfast was OK, but the only drinks served were coffee and artificial juices (no water). You can only get one beach towel per guest, so you have to use the same one to sit on and to dry yourself. Shower was broken, drinking glass was chipped, air conditioning very noisy, sink was dirty, linen ragged/ripped/stained (some of these issues were fixed after I complained, but it was a very short vacation and I wasted a lot of time having to deal with issues that should be basic hospitality). Staff was rude and confrontational (except for a very nice young man who was working the breakfast salon). Free wifi worked on and off in my room. No bar service at the beach, even though it is 5 meters away (guests have to pick up drinks and food themselves at the counter to take to their beach chairs). Not a boutique hotel, and I believe there are better options for the price (which is not cheap, especially for a 3-star) in Larnaca.

Where to begin ? We found this hotel 24 hours before we due to fly out to Cyprus. We were originally due to travel to another resort in North Cyprus but were forced to change our plans as we couldn't take our hire car across the border. So as we were flying to Larnaca we decided to stay there instead. What a find - this place is superb - a small hotel with only fifteen rooms which all face onto the beach. The hotel is on the beach and you step out from the restaurant onto the sunbeds that are provided free of charge. All beach towels provided - no stupid resort fees here. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the breakfast very nice - passed my test as the mushrooms were fresh not tinned. Wonderful beach views, very helpful and friendly staff. You couldn't fault this place and we are already planning to return.

This hotel is a gem - what a find! Small & stylish with perfect views! Very, very clean & tidy, Elvi & team couldn't do enough for their guests. Breakfast - superb & plenty of choice! Visit again when in Cyprus? most definitely. Another bonus for us was the perfect weather after much rain. Gym - also useful & literally just across the road Thank you!

Food was fast as fast food Even service was slow Don’t go for dinner We order and then In 5 minutes the food was served to us This hotel must be checked from food health and safety authorities.

Unlike other years where you were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff, this year, there is a barman who cannot mix his own cocktail menu and the most miserable waitress in the restaurant who literally threw the drink menu at me. The barman took the drinks order and told us to go back to our loungers and he will bring them over. The miserable waitress then heard and told me to wait and take them myself as she doesn’t serve on the beach………a while 5 metres from their dining table. We would have stayed for lunch, but will drink up and leave

Πήγαμε επίσκεψη στο ξενοδοχείο αυτό αλλά λυπάμαι πολύ που δεν έχω κάτι καλό να γράψω. Παραγγειλαμε τοστ και ήρθε το ψωμί ήταν άσπρο λες και δεν μπήκε καθόλου στη τοστιέρα. Είχε γίνει πολύ πρόχειρα και οι τιμές στα ύψη. Όταν πληρώνεις απαιτείς και ποιότητα. Service μηδέν δεν σου δίνουν καθολου σημασία. Για ότι θέλαμε πηγαιναμε εμείς να τους πούμε. Κρίμα γιατί βρίσκεται στην καλύτερη τοποθεσία. Είμαι πλήρως απογοητευμενη.δεν το συστήνω Κρίμα γιατί μόλις άνοιξε ήταν πολύ καλά. Κάθε φορά με απογοητευει και περισσότερο
