Maouris Aparthotel
Protaras, Cyprus

Mr S Hardie, Reading

It's not a big flash modern hotel with spa, gym and 5 stars where you're just a number. Enough of what it's not now for what it is, wonderful small apartment hotel with a more personal feel. From the moment you arrive you're made to feel at home by Yiotis and his family. The hotel is basic and may be a little dated in style but comfortable and very clean and the beds were very comfortable, the rooms are a very good size and well equipped. Even the bathrooms are a good size, the only downfall is the only shower is a mixer on the bath taps. The pool area is the perfect size and in the height of the summer at times we had it to ourselves and not ridiculously deep like a lot of pools in Cyprus so very good for our teenage kids. Plenty of sunbeds to choose from with no towels on sunbeds early in the morning.

Air-con is essential in Cyprus in the summer and some larger hotels can charge close to 100 euro a week for it. Here we paid a lot less than that for 12 days and we also had the safe chucked in the deal, another thing larger hotels charge extra for. Maid service was every day with clean towels and bedding each time.

The location of the hotel is also a massive plus, although it's not on the Protaras main strip it's 200 yards round the corner so you can have the best of both worlds, quiet and peaceful or lively and loud. Another plus is its 5 minutes walk to the beautiful Fig Tree Bay!

Next time we goto Protaras we will be staying here again (we have previously stayed in 4 other hotels in Protaras).
