Ayia Napa and Cape Greco’s sea caves are also within easy day-trip range for a change of pace and scenery.

Protaras, Cyprus (Larnaca Airport), Cyprus

Dining is a real strong suit here, with four restaurants and a cluster of bars to keep everyone happy throughout the day. The bright, modern Vasilikos Main Restaurant is the buffet hub, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner with show-cooking stations, a varied international spread and dedicated kids’ options.

Two à la carte spots showcase Cypriot and Greek flavours: Elia offers leisurely lunches and dinners with local specialities, while Koukounari is set up on the roof terrace for sunset dinners with a view. For something lighter, Cantina Grab & Co sorts casual bites and daytime snacks.

Drinks-wise, you’re covered from poolside to rooftop. There are two pool bars – Aqua and Blue – for chilled daytime refreshments, plus a comfortable Lobby Bar that stays open into the evening. Adults can end the day at 7 Skies Roof Bar & Restaurant, an adults-only hangout for cocktails and small plates under the stars.

Smart-casual dress codes may apply for dinner, particularly in the à la cartes and lobby areas (no beachwear, long trousers requested for gentlemen in some venues). Reservations can be required for à la carte dining and a supplement may apply depending on your board basis. Facilities, opening times and inclusions are subject to seasonal change.

On All Inclusive, buffet meals are included and you’ll typically enjoy at least one à la carte dinner per stay (minimum-stay rules apply). A good range of local alcoholic and soft drinks is served for a minimum of 12 hours a day, and snacks are available for at least 3 hours daily. For more detail on inclusions, see what All Inclusive typically includes.

Days revolve around the water here. The main outdoor freshwater pool has a dedicated children’s section, wide sunbathing terraces, loungers and parasols, plus complimentary pool towels.

The big draw for younger guests is the colourful splash park, complete with tipping water bucket, water cannons and spray features. It usually operates between 10:00 and 18:00 and may have age, height or weight restrictions for safety.

Beyond the hotel grounds, a sandy beach just 150m away offers clear, shallow waters typical of this stretch of the Protaras coast – ideal for paddling, first-time snorkellers and relaxed swims. Sunbeds and water sports are usually available locally for an extra charge.

Pool facilities, opening times and the splash park operation can vary by season and weather; some features may close periodically for maintenance.

Active guests have plenty of ways to move: an air-conditioned gym (18+ years) offers cardio machines, a free weights zone and stretching area, and there’s a programme of aerobics, aqua aerobics, darts, table tennis and yoga.

For unwinding, the spa features a sauna and steam room, alongside a menu of massages and beauty treatments, plus an on-site hairdresser. Spa access, treatments and salon services are for adults and carry an extra charge.

Regular daytime entertainment (roughly April–November) mixes family games, water activities and light sports, while evenings bring live music and entertainment several nights a week. There’s also a small on-site mini-market for holiday essentials, and a 24-hour reception offering currency exchange, luggage storage and other guest services.

Programme details, hours and facilities can vary seasonally and are subject to change.
