“Excellent Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at the St. Raphael in January, given the excellent deals out of season it is unreasonable to expect every 5 star facility to be available - we even heard a "moan" that the pool bar was not open!!. this was during the coldest January for many years and nobody used the pool!
All of the staff were very friendly and efficient, rooms are well appointed.
Regarding food, the meals were on a serve yourself basis and coped with gourmet to glutton. Wine is relatively inexpensive - the local wines are excellent. We were made aware when we booked that some maintenance work would be going on - this was unobtrusive and didn't start until about 9 in the morning.
I would rate the hotel as 4 and a half stars out of season, I would rate many of my fellow countrymen at a much lower star rating as guests!!

“Cyprus in November”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

Nice Hotel, great grounds and pool area although too cold to swim in comfort. First room had an adjoining door which let in lots of noise and SMOKE,( Russian Variety ) . It had a vestigial balcony and a side view.
They changed the room for a brilliant one on the top floor with a proper balcony and great view, but at additional cost, reduced after a bit of haggling.
All the food is buffet style but pretty good on the whole.
The staff are largely east European with a minority Cypriot but they all spoke English quite well.
Attention to minor room defects was exceptional.

Room Tip: Dont get a side room with tiny balcony.

“Luxury of a 5 star hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Very comfortable 5 day stay in an impressive hotel. Decor is a bit dated with dark furniture and cracked marble but the beds are comfortable, the sea views outstanding, lashings of hot water, good food and excellent amenities. All complimented by very polite, courteous and attentive staff. Only real downside was the charge made for access to the internet - something that should be inclusive for such a prestigious hotel and the cost of a 0.5 litre bottle of water at €3.50 which I considered uneccessarily expensive

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for your review. We do appreciate your feedback and have noted all your points. We pride ourselves in offering the very best value for money accommodation and meal plan packages and as such have won Cyprus’ leading all inclusive resort 4 years in a row. Our five star ultra all inclusive package gives our guests the opportunity to have breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as in-between meals and snacks in a single all inclusive room rate, in keeping with our very competitive prices we do charge for internet access. However, guests who do book direct with the hotel do not have this charge so it may be worth noting for the future. We are currently upgrading our wireless infrastructure to make way for all the modern smart phone devices and widening our service availability throughout our resort. We do hope to welcome you back to our resort.

“Nice hotel, great service and kids facilities but could do with an update to the decor as its dated”

people found this review helpful

Stayed here for the first time in October with my wife and kids. It's a great hotel to stay with kids as the hotel grounds are great for kids and great facilities and kids club.
The service is also exceptional.
Only negative is that it has quite dated decor that needs to be updated

“Nice short winter vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Been there for a couple of days. Stayed at a marina view room on the 2nd floor. The view was great , I advise you to go for this view instead of just sea view. The rooms are in very good condition, spacious and comfortable. The balcony is large too. Our room was at the main building which I have realised needs refurbishment in the common use areas like corridors, the lobby, the elevators etc. ut it is clean. They are in the process of refurbishing the hotel piece by piece as the Octagon restaurant was closed for full renovation. The staff are very polite and helpful. Breakfast was very decent, internet charges are high, 6 euro for an hour ... Plenty of underground parking space, in the summer it must be great being there, nice beach and pool, childrens playground, beautiful gardens, bars and restaurants, don't miss a drink or supper at Sailor's Rest cafe restaurant. Although pricey it's really worth it due to its position next to the marina and you feel like you are in the sea. Another tip, the new building has more beautiful and brand new rooms inland or sea view !!

Room Tip: Go for Marina view on main building for stunning marina/sea views , or for a sea/inland view room on...

Dear Reviewer,

Thank you for your review, we do appreciate positive and negative feedback because this helps us fine tune our award winning resort to ensure that our guests get the very best value for money experience. All aspects of our resort and undergoing renovation as you rightly pointed out “piece by piece”. We are very excited to be offering a brand new Octagon restaurant for the new season and have more plans in the works for public areas, rooms and suites as well as our other restaurants and bars. We are currently in the process of restructuring our Wifi systems and pricing structures. We do hope to welcome you back again soon should you travel plans bring you to the Limassol area. All the best
