The food scene at Grecian Sands Hotel is a real highlight, especially on All Inclusive Plus.

Café Calypso is the relaxed poolside hub, serving buffet and à la carte international and local dishes for breakfast, lunch and daytime snacks, with highchairs and a kids’ menu on hand.

Grill Bar keeps things Cypriot with Greek and local flavours, show-cooking at lunch, and both buffet and à la carte options, again with children’s choices.

In the evening, Ithaka Restaurant steps things up with a more elegant setting and a blend of local and international cuisine – there’s a smart dress code here, so think resort-casual rather than beachwear.

A real talking point is the Roof Burger Bar Restaurant, an à la carte rooftop venue serving gourmet-style burgers and international favourites with dreamy sunset views over the bay (weather dependent; reservation required).

Two bars keep you refreshed: a pool bar for daytime drinks by the water, and the Ulysses Bar & Terrace in the lobby for coffee, cocktails and nightcaps.

On All Inclusive Plus, you’ll typically enjoy buffet meals in the main restaurant, snacks and ice cream at set times, a wide, time-limited selection of local and some branded drinks, plus one dinner per week at selected à la carte and partner restaurants in the dine-around programme (reservation required, seasonal; supplements may apply for some items). What All Inclusive typically includes.

The centrepiece of the grounds is a generous outdoor freshwater pool with a wide sunbathing terrace, loungers and parasols – perfect for long, lazy days with a book. There’s also a separate outdoor freshwater pool area with sprinklers, ideal for children who like a bit of splash time (inflatables and water toys are generally permitted).

When you’re ready for a change of scene, stroll a few steps down through the gardens to the beachfront, where soft sand and clear, shallow water await. External providers on the beach offer motorised watersports, pedalos, snorkelling and scuba diving for an extra charge, giving plenty of options for more active days.

Back inside, a heated indoor freshwater pool sits within the spa area – a quieter spot for a swim away from the midday sun. Fresh pool towels are provided, so you can pack a little lighter.

Wellness fans are well catered for. The hotel’s spa offers a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, along with an extensive menu of massages, beauty treatments and an on-site hairdresser (all payable locally; opening hours may vary with occupancy).

The air-conditioned gym provides cardio equipment and a free-weights area, generally for guests aged 18+, and there’s also table tennis and tennis (chargeable) for a bit of friendly competition.

Entertainment is seasonal: expect regular daytime activities and evening shows with live music and professional performances from April through August, ramping up in the main summer months.

Practical touches include a 24-hour reception with concierge and currency exchange, luggage storage, English newspapers (local charge), an on-site mini-market for holiday essentials, and hire of mobility scooters or wheelchairs if needed.
