Tucked on the seafront just outside Protaras, Leonardo Crystal Cove puts you close to Cyprus’ famous east-coast beaches but away from the busiest crowds. A coastal path and local bus links make it easy to reach nearby bays, while Ayia Napa’s nightlife is within striking distance for a big night out before retreating to your chilled adults-only base.

Protaras itself is all about silky sand, emerald waters and postcard-perfect coves. By day you’ve got water sports and coastal walks; by night there’s a lively main street with bars, restaurants and live entertainment – more relaxed than Ayia Napa but with plenty going on.

Protaras, Cyprus (Larnaca Airport), Cyprus

Food and drink are a big part of the experience at Leonardo Crystal Cove, with a choice of buffet and à la carte dining plus three stylish bars to see you from first coffee to last cocktail.

Blue Horizon Restaurant
The main buffet restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with international favourites, local Cypriot touches and live show cooking stations. Expect plenty of choice for veggie and carnivore alike, plus themed evenings during busier months. A smart dress code applies in the evenings.

Little Italy
The hotel’s à la carte option serves Italian-inspired plates – think fresh pasta, pizzas and Mediterranean classics – in a more intimate setting. Guests staying All Inclusive for seven nights between June and October can book a visit for a small supplement (subject to availability).

Ariadne Lounge Bar
An elegant lobby-style bar for pre-dinner drinks or a relaxed nightcap, generally open early evening until midnight (hours can vary by season and occupancy). Smart-casual is the norm here.

Gin Bar
The headline act after dark: a terrace gin bar open several evenings a week (weather and occupancy dependent), perfect for sunset G&Ts and crafted cocktails under the stars.

Thetis Pool Bar
The pool bar keeps the vibe going with daytime drinks and light bites, so you’re never far from a cold beer or iced coffee between dips.

Board inclusions, reservation rules and supplements can vary by season and board basis, so always check the latest details on arrival. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The pool scene is one of the big draws here. The main outdoor freshwater pool is framed by loungers, parasols and Bali beds, so you can choose between full-on sunbathing, shady lounging or a perch close to the bar. Staff circulate with poolside treats several times a day in season – a nice All Inclusive extra.

When you want a quieter moment, the indoor pool at the spa is a calm retreat away from the main deck, ideal for cooler days or pre-treatment unwinding.

Although the hotel is set on the seafront, the nearest main beach is around 700m away, with the classic east-coast combination of soft sand and clear, shallow water. Protaras and nearby coves offer water sports, boat trips and plenty of spots for a swim or snorkel.

Stay as active – or horizontal – as you like. The compact but well-equipped gym features cardio machines, a free weights area and strength equipment, typically open 09:00–18:00. There’s also a tennis court if you fancy a knock-about before cooling off in the pool.

The spa ups the relaxation factor with a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments (local charges apply; opening hours usually 09:00–18:00). The indoor freshwater pool lives here too, adding a peaceful alternative to the main pool.

Cyclists can make use of bike hire and cycle services (extra charge), a great way to explore the coastline and nearby villages under your own steam.

Around the hotel you’ll also find a small on-site mini-market, and a 24-hour reception team offering concierge support, currency exchange and luggage storage.
