“Relaxing and hospitable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

The hotel is located on a beach some 20 minutes by road from the international airport and a little further from Larnaca. It is on a broad sandy beach with the expanse of the Mediterranean sea in front.

Although it's an old hotel, it is well maintained, and my room appeared to have been refurbished. It was a cosy room with wooden floor and a balcony with a view of the sea. All the modern amenities of a 4-star hotel were there - flatscreen TV, shaving mirror in bathroom, bedroom slippers, toweled dressing gown, etc. I found the room comfortable, well-maintained and restful.

The dining room has a view of the sea and the buffet for breakfast and dinner were generally excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive with good service when I asked for skimmed milk, which wasn't available at the buffet breakfast.

There are a few shops near the hotel but otherwise it's in a quiet area with other hotels and residences nearby, so it's ideal as a beach getaway.

Room Tip: Get a room on a higher floor - the views of the sea are very relaxing.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to post your comments! We hope that you and your friends enjoyed a relaxing holiday here at the Golden Bay; our 5 star hotel is most definitely a place of tranquillity and beauty and our main aim is to ensure all guests enjoy the comfort and luxuries we offer.
With the hotel now having finished its last wave of renovations, it is assured that the finest modern facilities are provided for all our guests at the newly refurbished leisure club and in the well-furnished rooms, all with modern parquet flooring as you've mentioned.
The hotel has restaurants and shops nearby and Larnaka town centre is just 10-15 minutes away by car and with regular transport available, one can explore the wonderful sights and surroundings of Larnaka itself.
We hope to welcome you back again at the Golden Bay! You can also find us on Facebook if you search page for 'goldenbaycyprus'.

“Will never forget this holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Went here with my other half, we chose this location as a friend was getting married nearby. When we arrived the room we was given looked nothing like the website, was very dated and looked like something out of the 70's! I went and complained and was given one of the newer refubished rooms, which was fab!

There was always space by the pool the beach was at the back of the hotel and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was very standard but we had no complaints, the room service and restaurant menu were great.

The only downside to this hotel was we felt a bit isolated, there are three hotels and a few shops then nothing for about a 20 minute walk. Larnaca town was only a short bus journey and not too expensive (do not try and walk it like we did lol) so this was not a major issue but for those who would like something a bit more buzzing this is probably not the place for you. As our first holiday as a couple though it was perfect!!

We will never forget this place and still always rant on about it! Hoping to return in about 20 years if its still standing!! :)

Room Tip: We had side sea view and it was fine, make sure you ask for one of the refurbished rooms.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here with us.
Although Golden Bay is located away from Larnaca town centre, it has all the facilities and luxuries one needs to have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday; as well as a newly refurbished leisure club, rooms on the last floor are now being renovated and will be finished and in service by the middle of February, so all rooms are now more modern.
The staff is more than happy to help advise where the best sights, shops, restaurants and cultural heritages are in Cyprus, many being close by in Laranca itself! Taxi service from the hotel costs just 12-15 EURO and takes only 10-15 minutes to get to the town centre. Or, buses as you’ve mentioned, are cheap and regular so one can easily get to and from Larnaca.
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future so you can appreciate Golden Bay at its fullest!

“Clean, beautiful, on the sea, very good service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

Beautiful hotel and location, with direct access to the beach. It also offers great facilities including a restaurant, a bar, two swimming pools (inside and outside) and a gym. The service was also good and kind.

Only negative note is that the hotel is 45 mins by foot from Larnaca centre, however a taxi ride costs only 12 euro.

We had a great experience and I would recommend it to a friend.

Dear Guest,

Thank you for your kind comments! We are happy that you were able to enjoy all our facilities here at the Golden Bay and hope of a future visit so you can experience the luxuries of our newly renovated rooms and leisure club.
As you’ve mentioned, a taxi to the town centre is relatively cheap and the journey only takes 10-15 minutes. We have our own taxi service here within the hotel and also regular buses pass just outside (charge of 1EURO) so it is easy for one to get around Larnaca!

Kind regards,

I recently stayed here for a one week business trip. The location was fantastic, and the view from the room was beautiful.The beach is a 10 second walk out the back of the hotel.
