Kapetanios Bay Hotel Protaras sits at the northern tip of the Protaras strip, a handy base for exploring this much-loved corner of eastern Cyprus. You’re a short walk from the resort centre with its bars, restaurants and shops, while the nearest beach is just 500m away. Fig Tree Bay – one of the island’s most photogenic stretches of sand – is around 1.1km along the coast, easily reached on foot or by local bus.

Protaras itself is a relaxed, family-friendly resort with silky sands, sheltered coves and a lively main street. It’s also close enough to Ayia Napa if you fancy a night out with a different energy.

Captain’s Table Restaurant is the main hub, serving a mix of international favourites and Cypriot classics at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect buffet-style spreads with some à la carte options, plus a kids’ menu and highchairs for families. Beachwear is discouraged at mealtimes, and smart-casual is appreciated in the evenings.

Between meals, you’re covered by Ahoy Pool Bar for cold drinks and cocktails by the water, and the Deck All Day Cafeteria – part coffee bar, part laid-back lounge, ideal for snacks or a mid-morning pick-me-up. Opening hours, reservations and any supplements may vary with season and board, so check onsite for the latest details.

If you opt for All Inclusive, most of your meals and selected local drinks are taken care of, with snacks throughout the day to keep you going – see below for a typical inclusions guide or read more about what All Inclusive typically includes.

Outside, two freshwater pools provide an easy-going suntrap. The main pool has a spacious sun terrace with loungers and parasols, while younger guests get their own shallow children’s pool alongside. Towels are available for a local charge, and facilities can vary slightly between pools.

When you’re ready to swap pool for sea, it’s a short stroll to the nearest sandy beach, with calm, clear waters that are typically great for swimming. Fig Tree Bay – often highlighted as one of Cyprus’s best beaches – is just over a kilometre away along the shoreline, with soft sand, water sports and a postcard-worthy setting.

This is a straightforward, great-value hotel where the focus is on relaxing by the pool and exploring Protaras. There’s no on-site spa or extensive sports complex, but you can expect:

– Simple outdoor pool areas with sunbeds and parasols
– Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
– Reception with currency exchange and luggage storage
– Equipment hire including pushchair* and wheelchair* (local charges apply)
