Where I stayed
Ayia Napa, Cyprus
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
The beautiful white sandy beach of Nissi Beach Bay.
My next destination is Ayia Napa located in the Southeast Coast of Cyprus.
On this entry I post the review as it appears on my TripAdvisor pages:
"The Oasis of Relaxation, the Best Beach, Professionalism!!"
I spent 2 amazing nights at Nissi Beach on my recent trip to Agia Napa. The hotel is located on a lagoon bay nestled within 100.000 sq. metres of lush tropical gardens and on the most beautiful and the very best white sandy beach of the town. The hotel was given the name (Nissi) because of the small islet opposite the resort. You see the word –nissi in Greek means an island. The view of the whole bay from this little islet is fantastic.
This is my second visit here but the first one was many years back when there were no other hotels in the area. Of course after all these years there have been several renovations and what I noticed is that the hotel is still one of the very best in Agia Napa.
Everything a tourist expects from a resort is found here, starting from the management and staff who are multilingual and professionals. I always like to talk about the resort I am staying with other guests and honestly I did not find a single person to have anything negative to report. Everyone was happy to be here and it is a resort where one can truly see smiling faces not only from the staff who are wonderful and caring but from the guests as well who are happy to be here. The fact that there are repeaters coming back year after year proves that facilities and services are satisfying. A big number of the staff has been working here since it opened and many guests are well acquainted with them.
My sea-view suite #305 was spacious, spotlessly clean and well equipped. The towels were soft and bright white, but the most amazing of all was the picturesque view of the lush tropical gardens stretching out up to the coast to one of the finest beaches so popular to the whole island famous for its soft white sands and clear waters. It is indeed an oasis of relaxation and tranquillity here. I had a complimentary treat of a bottle of Cypriot wine, some fruit and a small box of chocolates in my room upon arrival.
Breakfast was adequate with a variety of things to choose from. Personally I skipped lunch although it was included but I went twice there to get some yoghurt and noticed a rich lunch buffet each day. Dinner buffets with a different theme each night are even richer and satisfying and food is excellent with a variety of salads, meat and fish dishes and a number of several vegan dishes as well.
There is a variety of entertainment daily with aqua aerobics and different other activities that take place on the premises and again in the evening. Little children are kept busy in the "children's world" and are safely supervised and entertained by the staff of the kids club. Due to this lovely beach with the exotic setting many couples choose to have their wedding here as it is the most popular spot in Agia Napa. The ceremonies take place in a specific spot so they don't disturb the rest of the guests. It is a resort where you can see mostly British and Germans and a few Russians. Unfortunately during my stay the majority of beach bars were closed but they provide different snacks and pizzas and cold drinks in reasonable price. Don’t miss visiting the amazing Nissi Health Club for a relaxing treatment. I had the hot stone’s massage and I am still dreaming of those relaxing moments!
Wi Fi connection is free in the lobby but you have to pay to have it up in your room.
People visiting Agia Napa should have in mind that not all beaches here are the same. The very best and unique one is here at the Nissi Beach Resort which is truly exceptional. From the long walk I had I noticed that a few metres from the resort towards the port there is a long coast of rocky and not at all friendly beach stretching out up to the port, which is neither good for snorkeling, with a small exception of one very small nice cove in between. So, people should know about this to avoid unexpected surprises that might spoil their holidays. I don’t believe there are tourists coming to Agia Napa who would like to spend all their time around a swimming pool and be trapped in a hotel! There are of course a lot of other hotels on the coast but people should not be fooled by the price or the nice buildings because if there is no proper beach to relax or enjoy a beach sport then your holidays will surely be disappointing.
Room Tip: Ask for a sea-view suite...the tropical garden and view of the lagoon bay are amazing!
