Fantastic staff, friendly and helpful service, clean pools and continental breakfast very good, great barman carlas , rooms need updating but apart from that it is a great place to stay. Lots of beautiful cats and they are all looked after😘 Not at all feral, so if you’re a cat lover this is the place to stay. Going back next year , see you soon .
After reading some of the reviews we weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival (about 11pm) we were greeted by Simon who made us feel at ease instantly and throughout our stay. We sat and had a couple of drinks by the pool and let the hustle and bustle of the journey slip away. At breakfast everyone was always smiling and helpful. Marcus who also works at the seafront bar was always there with a smile and a joke. Ok so the rooms are a little tired and dated but let's be honest, you're only in there to sleep. It was lovely to sit on the balcony watching the world go by with a morning coffee and in the evening something a little stronger. It's within walking distance to some fabulous restaurants and a short bus ride from the town. It's the friendly staff who put the icing on the cake here, from Housekeeping (who always had a cheery greeting) upwards. When we return to Lapta, and we certainly will, we will return to this hotel.…
The hotel could do with some TLC but was well worth the cost. We were not happy with our room but it was changed and was OK. The staff were very good, friendly and helpfull. There was a good choice of food for breakfast, with pancakes and omellets cooked to order, on the beach the pool and bar is nice and is reached safeley by a tunnel under the road.
No way this place deserves anything like 4 stars. This hotel is old. Not charming, vintage old, just worn out, almost decrepit, it doesn't feel inviting but has a nasty 70s feel to it. It doesn’t help that you’re not supposed to flush toilet paper (see unsightly pull plug to flush in the photo), that water in the shower is weak (only bottled water is), wifi in the rooms is painfully slow and keeps dropping (at least this place has it, some "four star" establishments in the area only have it in the reception area). My room had an antiquated A/C with a remote control unit that looked and felt like it could use disinfection. Linen is poor quality by any standard and you can feel and hear something plastic on the mattress underneath the sheet. Pillows are unusual, uncomfortable and have an unpleasant smell, I wrapped one in a clean towel to use for sleeping. Now, I’m not too fussy or spoilt and I understand this is a business but everything here just feels cheap and neglected, as if no one even cares. Food: good bakeries generally seem to be few and far between in this part of Cyprus but the bread served at breakfast here is just weird, there's two kinds, a tired, unappetising white bread and a 2nd kind, possibly whole-grain but sticky and with a suspicious, grey color, wouldn’t look out of place in a Midnight Express remake. Some cheeses are available that might be OK but sausages and hot dogs just look bad and I didn’t dare ingest any. Staff here is friendly for the most part but people in general appear untalented for tourism and it feels as if they don’t really appreciate their guests, they're just a necessary evil to extract hard currency. And don’t expect anyone to speak English, not even at the airport, that’s how they roll here, it’s a different mentality, alien and often frustrating for a European mindset. There’s an outside pool with extremely warm and strangely opaque water that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Sea water also is far too warm to relieve you from extreme sunshine and heat and it’s quite a drag being on the beach, it’s just extremely hot and extremely boring, there’s nothing to make your stay more entertaining or enjoyable, not even a single beach ball for at least kids to play, the whole experience is just very bland. Food in local restaurants is somewhat better but nothing to write home about, frozen fish from fish farms and frozen shrimp of grey color, hardly the kind of seafood you'd expect on an island. There’s a small 24/7 store not far away from the hotel with a selection of processed food, mostly sweets, probably due to lack of A/C inside. For the first time in my life I was on holiday and counting days for it to be over.…
Once again another fabulous stay at my favourite place. It’s the staff that makes this my place to be. We continue to visit time and again because we truly feel we are now friends with all the staff, they are always polite, cheerful and nothing is ever a problem. The hotel is always clean, tidy and welcoming. It’s not 5* but nor am I, but they sure do treat us like we are. Well done the LA.....we will be back September, looking forward to our stay already.
