“POOR INITIAL ROOM”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011
8
people found this review helpful

Have just returned from the Nestor. This was the third year in a row. The second year we went our daughters and their partners came on our recommendation. Each year we have booked to go back as soon as we have got back home. This year on arrival we were allocated a room which we found very sub-standard to the rooms we, and our daughters, had previously stayed in. It had an inter-connecting door with the room next door. After four nights of disturbed sleep, having been woken at 3 30am by the guests next door, we asked to move so we upgraded to a pool view room and immediately realised this was of a standard we had had previously. The Reception Staff were very helpful in this respect and did ask why we wanted to move. We told them we were disappointed with the room, especially the fact it had an interconnecting door where you could hear everything and that our sleep was being disturbed by the younger guests returning from the clubs between 3 30 and 4am. There is no mention in the Thomson brochure or the website that you may be allocated an interconnecting room, which isn't suitable for couples of different ages and lifestyles to occupy at the same time. We could understand if you were allocated this type of room if you had made a last minute booking at a cheaper rate, rather than booking a good year earlier and paying full price. We had emailed the Hotel a few weeks before we were due, as we had done the year before, informing them of the number of the room we have previously stayed in and asked if at all possible we could have a room close by, but stated that we understood it may not be possible.They replied and said they would try their best.
All the Staff in the Hotel are fantastic and we found the service excellent. Large selection of food for both breakfast and evening meal. Great location for the beach, harbour and coastal path to walk to Nissi beach. In the evening you won't be disturbed by the noise of the clubs (only the guests coming back!!) as the Hotel is a good 20min walk away.
Hotel seems to be mainly occupied by Russians who, each year, we have found ignorant and arrogant not only to guests but to the staff,
Have noticed from the Thomson website that this Hotel has gone all inclusive next year, which has massively increased the price of the holiday for us. We would like to go back again but not on that basis. Great shame about this as I am sure it has put the price out of reach of other British holidaymakers, especially in today's economic climate

Room Tip: Don't unpack if you get an inter-connecting room. ASK TO BE MOVED!!

“Lovely Hotel and Superb Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed at the Nestor Hotel in September for 2 weeks stay. This was our first time staying in this hotel and the staff especially Barbara on reception and the two Georges (bar and restaurant) were superb, very helpful, nothing was too much bother for them. Our only criticism would be the arrogant and ignorant Russian guests towards all staff and other guests. We would definitely return to this hotel if there were less Russians!

Room Tip: Rooms in the main building were better than in the annex.

“Great hotel and staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just spent 2 weeks at the Nestor all inclusive, the food was very nice plenty of differnet choices daily. The drinks available on all exclusive are a bit limited and the hotel don't seem to realise that you have already paid for them as you get a better service if you are paying at the bar, even down to all the trimmings in a cocktail if your paying but none if you are all inclusive. Staff were very friendly especially the 2 Georges, the waiter in the restaurant and the barman in the pool side bar. The guy on the door of the restaurant is a bit keen as men are not allowed to eat in there if they are wearing shorts there is a picture showing that 3 quarter length shorts are ok but i was asked to eat outside when i had some on that looked exactly like the picture. The rooms are a little small but livable with modern decor flat screen TV and fridge (you have to pay extra for the fridge and safe) and the air con is excellent. 1 draw back with the room is the electrics only work with the key fob tried all sorts in the slot but nothing worked so if one of you fancies an early night you both have to have one. The location of the hotel is perfect 2 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes to the center of Ayia Napa.

Room Tip: pay extra for a pool view room for all day sun

“Enjoyed our stay at the Nestor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed for a week at the end of August beginning of September, we stayed here 10 years ago and enjoyed the Hotel and Food both are just as good as previously with a good choice each day. The Reception Staff are very friendly and helpful when requiring any local information. Location is very good around 5-10 mins walk to the beach and the many bars around Ayia Napa, the only thing we noticed this time round was we could hear the music from the local bars until about 2am from the bedroom . Weather was very hot around 36 degrees during the day and about 24 degrees at night George at the pool bar was a lovely guy, very friendly. Plenty of room around the pool no rush to put towels down as you could usually get a lounger at any time of the day. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone visiting Ayia Napa and may return in the future.
