Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We just popped in to the Hippocampus Lounge on our first night and were lucky enough to get a table. All staff we dealt with were professional and absolutely lovely. The food was amazing, so delicious, well presented and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Been here a few times before. Before the restaurant was refurbished. I have got to say even though the place is lovely and the food was nice. I was disappointed with the menu. Not as many choices as before to accommodate everyone’s tastes. We always...have the hippocampus garlic bread. Then main I could not find anything in the pastas that I liked so opted for the club sandwich which was delicious and had a basket of chips and salad. Nice but not a wide variety of choice on menu.More

Great cocktails (especially the Amaretto Sour!) and lovely food. The portion sizes are big and good value for money. It’s a beautiful restaurant too. Highly recommended.

Best restaurant my partner and I have been to in Cyprus. The food is amazing especially with their selection of vegan options. The Vegan Noodles were top tier. The wine (according to my partner) is the best wine she’s ever had. Amazing halloumi appetiser as...well. Plus some very nice pancakes. Staff are very welcoming and friendly also.More

Fantastic restaurant with a great rooftop seating area. Service was excellent as was the food. We eat here a couple of times and would say it was the best place we eat at while in Cyprus.

This was recommended to us by friends & they were not wrong. We booked a table in the rooftop restaurant as we’d been told the views were lovely. We were taken to a lovely table & the views were great plus it was a very...hot evening but there was a very welcome breeze that made dining a joy. The staff were very attentive & informative about the menu choices. We had a lovely cocktail & then the food was delicious. It was served beautifully & was all freshly cooked. The location is good as it’s on the main strip & we will definitely visit againMore

Came to Protaras from ayia napa by taxi as we love the main strip here looking for a nice fancy restaurant & the hippocampus fitted the bill perfectly, looks plush & up market. Friendly welcome when asking for a table & quickly seated. Drinks ordered...1st then food soon after, I fancied a steak so went for the T-bone & my wife the lamb shank with a few alternatives from the menu, which was no problem. Food arrived about 20 minutes later piping hot & as ordered both absolutely delicious. my wife wanted a dessert so had the rainbow macaroons & me an espresso martini both delicious again. All in all an excellent experience with great service, excellent food and all reasonably priced, highly recommended & will definitely return.More
