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.
