We were here in hot August. We bought trip to Nissiana bungalow and was very glad because of our choice. Bungalows are located behind the main hotel building, in quiet side of street. There are separate entrance, big room, kitchen corner with refrigerator and bathroom with window in the house. And a balcony of course. Conditioner works only when smb is in.
Pool is very nice and with a lot of available chaise-longues and almost no people. It's because most of guests in hotel are Russians, and Russians always prefers beach and sea.
Breakfasts was great, dinners was good, suppers was so-so.
3-4 times a week there were entertainment in the evening: Bulgarian singers, jugglers or animal trainers.
Agia Napa is very expensive place, so sometimes we bought some food in supermarket and prepared a dinner in our kitchen.
Hotel and bungalows are located in 2km from Central (Big) Agia Napa. We advice you to use bicycle, which you can rent not far from the hotel.

We stayed here for a week in August 2009 on a bed and breakfast basis and travelled with a 16 month baby.

We were pleased with our room which had pushed together twin beds and a travel cot for the baby. The room was a nice spacious size and was cleaned every day by the maids to a good standard. The only thing I would say about the room would be the beds and the air conditioning. The beds have a plastic matress, say no more. The air conditioning only operates when you are in the room (the door key has to be put into a switch, otherwise it does not work) this is fine and obviously and economical reason, what would have been nice would be if it had a bit of power as it took ages to bring the room tempreture down.

The breakkfast was great and catered for a lot of tastes.

We loved the pool as it had a beach style entrance and was safe for our young boy to wander in and out of and play in the shallow part. There was also a baby pool.

The pool had lots of beds (with sun shades) available all day long, it was not overly busy.

There was a bar although we did find the bar prices expensive.

We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening so cannot comment.

We found most of the other guests to be German / Eastern European as the tour operators from these countries use this hotel.

We did stay around the hotel in the evening so cannot comment about any entertainment that may have been provided, although I do know there was some.

We found this hotel to be safe for our young boy (16 months) and catered for ie. baby chairs etc.

Generally Nissi Bay restaurants all cater for babies / children which we were very impressed with as they all had childrens play areas in the restaurants. Definately a family resort.

Nearly forgot, the hotel has a childs play area which consists of a couple of slides and play house etc. our boy liked this although a clean would not have gone amiss as it was covered in tree seed droppings.

The hotel was just a 5 to 10 minute walk from any restaurants in Nissi Bay, it is about 4-5km from Ayia Napa, which meant not a young partying hotel.

We would definately stay at this hotel again.

we have been ayia napa a few times and this time we went in may and wanted to be close to nissi beach and this hotel is a great location for that.
The hotel is quite nice,always clean,has a really nice pool and any problems was delt with reasonably ok however in may the hotel was really quiet with no atmosphere.
The food isnt great and staff not too friendly or over helpful.

Would stay again only if the price was right at the time.

This was my second stay in aiya napa cyprus, the first time i was staying at the main square of aiya napa, mainly where the nightlife gets going and the shops are all around you. This was a holiday with friends so i decided to take my mum and dad to cyprus to sample the climate the following year (2007) on an all inclusive holiday to the Nissiana. Cyprus is extremely hot in the months of June-August so be careful!!

Anyway, the start of the holiday at the airport was a nightmare!!! we booked with olympic holidays- NEVER AGAIN!!! these are the main tour operators for cyprus and the service at the "airport" from their UK based Reps was crap, non-excistent!!!

We were delayed 24hours and only got £25 compensation per person on our return that took approx 3months to recieve!!! and this was with the GOLD insurance.

Anyway- we finally arrived at the nissiana 1 day late. we had the transfer included in the package, when the coach dropped us off, our luggage was dumped at the side of the road and we were left to fend for ourselves on check-in. The transfer rep, well she just seemed like it was more of an holiday for her and looked like she had been out the [--]the night before and didnt give a [--]!!

When we got ourselves to check-in we were given a key to a room that was across the road from the hotel itself? considering we were on an all inclusive holiday and had booked a ROOM at the hotel we were not happy as we would have to cross a main road to use the facilities of the hotel and the all inclusive, considering our 1 day late arrival this wasnt what we needed!!

We questioned the girl at the reception desk who said as far as they were concerned, because WE had turned up late our hotel room had been re-allocated and we got what we were given? Basically olympic holidays had not informed the hotel that our fligt was delayed in the UK.we proceeded to ring the emergency rep line in resort to get a resolvement.

We waited 3.5hrs for a rep, no one came. Then the receptionist had a phone call from our rep who had told them to just give us a room. which they did!!!!!

Not a great start- however, once we finally got sorted this hotel is fantastic. if you want a relaxed beachholiday this is the perfect hotel. The beach (nissi beach) is approx 10 mins walk across the road and is VERY BUSY!!!

There are a few pubs and a supermarket by the hotel, however the main shopping area of aiya napa is approx 30-45mins away. Walkable however a taxi is your best option.

Summary

Airline- Olympic NEVER AGAIN, i thought First Choice were bad, they are great compared to this airline

Hotel- quite location but walk-in pool fantastic and you get the sun all day

Food- All inclusive good, snacks much better and drinks good, but second week most of the food was repeated

Service- very good

Weather- VERY HOT!!!!! hottest day 48c, remember Cyprus isnt far from Egypt and day trips, 3 day excursions are available

Rep- [--]!!! dont book any excursions through an olympic rep

All in all i love cyprus and its getting better every year, however in high seasons the prices do go up in most shops. I would defo return to this hotel, however i would NEVER travel with Olympic airlines again!!!!
