Food is a real highlight at Golden Coast Beach Hotel, with plenty of choice for both adults and little ones.
The main Atrium Restaurant serves buffet and à la carte international cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner, backed up by live cooking stations. Highchairs, a kids’ buffet, and handy microwaves make life simple for families.
For something different, there are two speciality à la carte venues (seasonal, reservations required):
• Mamma Leone Trattoria Italiana – Italian classics for dinner with show cooking, by the pool. Smart-casual dress is requested (no beachwear, long trousers for gentlemen).
• Mediterranean Restaurant – Greek and local Cypriot dishes for lunch, also poolside, ideal for a relaxed taste of the island.
You’re never far from a drink either:
• Antamoma beach bar – right on the sand for cold drinks with sea views (seasonal hours).
• Hesperides Bar – the main cocktail bar for pre- and post-dinner drinks.
• Poseidon Pool Bar – by the pool, serving drinks and snacks during the day.
All Inclusive Plus typically covers buffet meals, selected à la carte visits, twice-daily snacks and a choice of local and international branded drinks for a minimum of 12 hours a day. Exact inclusions and timings can change seasonally, so use this as a guide only. What All Inclusive typically includes.
