Location
Louis St. Elias Resort enjoys a scenic hilltop position above Protaras, giving you wide-open views and a more tranquil feel than the lively main strip. The pretty Ayios Elias church is just 500m away and makes a great sunset stroll, while the shops, bars and restaurants of Protaras are close enough for evenings out.
Beaches such as the main Protaras strip and iconic Fig Tree Bay are a short shuttle or taxi ride away, so you can mix pool days with laid-back beach time and watersports along this family-favourite stretch of coast.

Restaurants and Bars
The All Inclusive Plus concept is a big part of the appeal at Louis St. Elias Resort.
Lemon Tree Restaurant is the main buffet venue, serving international favourites and Greek specialities at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect show cooking stations, theme nights, a kids’ buffet and highchairs, all in a bright poolside setting. Beachwear isn’t allowed inside, so pack a cover-up for easy lunches.
For a more intimate, local flavour, Meze by Elliniko focuses on Greek cuisine in an a la carte setting. Unlimited dinners here are included with All Inclusive Plus (reservation required), giving you that restaurant feel without extra cost.
Drinks and between-meal bites are covered by two bars:
• Jacaranda Bar – the cocktail bar on the terrace, open 10:00–00:00, perfect for a post-dinner drink or sunset cocktail.
• The Carob Pool Bar – for daytime refreshments by the water, also generally open 10:00–00:00 depending on occupancy.
Your package includes snacks such as afternoon tea and late-night bites for at least three hours per day, plus selected international branded alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from 10:00 to midnight. Details can change each season, so check the latest information on arrival.
Pool Areas and Beach
Families are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to splash time.
There are three outdoor freshwater pools, including:
• A generous main pool with whirlpool and plenty of sunbeds and parasols – inflatables are permitted, keeping kids happy for hours.
• A dedicated children’s pool in the aqua park area, complete with slides, buckets and water features, again with its own sunbathing space.
• An adults-only pool with whirlpool, ideal when you want a quieter sunbathing and swimming spot away from the noise of the splash park.
The aqua park is the headline act for many families, featuring slides and water play elements typically open between 10:00 and 18:00 (age, height and weight restrictions may apply). Pool towels are provided with a refundable deposit.
Although the resort isn’t directly on the sand, the main Protaras beach and Fig Tree Bay are easy to reach. A complimentary shuttle bus runs to the beach five times a day from May to October, giving you the freedom to mix pool days with Cypriot beach time.
Spa, Sports and Other Facilities
When you’re ready to burn off some buffet energy, head to the air-conditioned gym, which comes with cardio equipment, a stretching zone and access to a sauna and steam room (minimum age 18, opening hours typically 09:00–18:00 and occupancy-dependent).
Daytime activities include aqua aerobics, athletics, basketball, darts, table tennis and tennis, giving everyone an easy way to stay active. Younger guests can look forward to a busy programme at the kids’ club, while adults may enjoy slipping away to the Hibiscus Spa for massages and beauty treatments (18+, extra charges apply; usually open 10:00–19:00).
Frequent evening entertainment – from bingo and quizzes to in-house and professional shows, plus a mini-disco – runs from spring into late October, helping to keep the holiday feeling going long after sunset.
The resort is also a Certified Sustainable Hotel, so you can feel better about your footprint while you’re away.
