the Marina is a lovely area to walk round . You will see beautiful very expensive boats . Just to show you how rich need to be to own one. Well worth going .Beware of the shops unless you are a millionaire. Number 30 bus fill take you to that area just ask the driver

The marina is nice and has good service, although you can see that is has been there for a long time.

I stayed in the hotel for two nights while on a business trip. I arrived to a very busy reception area with some kind of conference taking place. But all was organised and I was immediately met by someone wishing to carry my bags. I was given my room key, was escorted to my room and given a brief tour of the room and the facilities provided. The hotel is kept very clean, the staff are very pleasant and helpful. I was too early for the 7am breakfast on one one morning of the visit, but was told that I could enter the restaurant for coffee, which saved the day I must say. On the last morning and following an excellent breakfast, I walked the 50 meters to the sea front, passing through the beautifully kept hotel gardens and passing a very inviting swimming pool. All I could think of was planning a family visit in the future. Slight negative: the air conditioning was not switched on, but even though, my room was quite cool. A very nice hotel. Could I just say also? During my walk back to the hotel from the beach I noted a guy working on a new lift system at the rear of the hotel, he must have been 10 meters from the ground, in an extremely precarious position and not wearing ant safety gear. I do feel that the hotel management ought to monitor contracted staff while on their premises and ensure that a suitable level of care is applied by all. The hotel guests would not wished to have seen the guy fall. Anyway, excellent hotel. Would I stay again for business or pleasure? Very definitely!

Came to this hotel on Friday, 24th and was surprised, that 5 stars hotel doesn’t offer masks to the guests.
When I came to the breakfast the manager did not allow me to enter to the restaurant without mask (I forgot it at my room). When I asked to give me the mask at the restaurant, the manager in impolite manner told me that they don’t have masks, this is 100% of my responsibility and offered me to buy the masks at their shops!
From my perspective the 5* hotel can afford to provide guests with masks in terms of unexpected situation (guests can forget/ lost/ spoil the masks and etc.)
I thought that St Raphael is about high level service, but in this situation I was upset with such an attitude from the manager's side.
Hope you will pay your attention on it to improve your attitude to the situation and coach your managers how to communicate with the guests.

Wry long romantic beach. You have view beach bars there. Malindi with sunbeds and good music is our favorite. Is bit expensive, but portions are huge, so good for sharing.
Marina is small but fabulous, good for a walk or beachday.

We are in this Marina more than 10 years and the staff is very warm and friendly making us feel as part of the Marina family. Always helpful and polite. Also nearby there is a very nice restaurant "Sailors Rest." with fantastic food and panoramic seaviews. Highly recommended!!!

The marina is on the eastern fringe of Limassol in a rather smart area. The marina sits in front of the hotel and landscaped grounds of the same name and is by (in my opinion), the best beach in Limassol. The sandy beach is clean and is well spaced out hence you do not feel too close to those around you. The sea is shallow and is lovely and warm even in late October. You can also use the hotel facilities as well as the water sports facilities. There is also the lovely Malindi Bach Bar nearby where you can sit and watch the boats go by. Highly recommend a visit.

This hotel is an enigma- in sone areas its five star and in others its about a 3 star. If you compare this hotel with a true five star like Four seasons - its chalk & cheese.
The grounds are beautiful - stunning lush lawns trees with specific areas set aside for peace and quiet - no children and only adults - with other areas for kids - large fun playground, little paddle pools, large lawn areas with soccer balls and goal nets set up. Beachside has lounge chairs and large palmed umbrellas. The beach is not cleaned daily or racked like at Four Seasons so its a little dirty with some rubbish on the beach. We stayed in Marina view rooms (575) that had a large balcony - most tower rooms on the side had very small chair space - front to the beach are also tower rooms.
The rooms are not 5 star. Lumpy pillows - velcro attached bedhead - basic decor - jug in room had some plastic smell.
No Nespresso pod machine - only sachet. Mini fridge in room and four wine glasses.
On each floor is a mini iron table and iron at the end of the hall.
You could opt for Go green and skip room housekeeping to save planet which we opted for.
Three green apples and bottle of water on arrival into room. Concierge was attentive and friendly.
Breakfast set up is chaotic
- the cypriat food section has food lying on coloured cloths not containers and appeared the same each day - was not fresh.
Lots of alternative options in breakfast plant based foods - beans - almond porridge etc.
The egg station was fried eggs only.
Breakfast had no decaf coffee- only Nescafé sachets - in the days of Espresso machines and pods its crazy you cannot get decaf coffee.
Pool side menu was burgers chips pizza - just terrible food options.
Two pool areas one with a swim up bar. Activities all day from volleyball, yoga, pilates etc
Kids games floor and kids club with arcade games.
Getting pool towels was a mission - would be good to have pool towels in the room for easy access.
A little chapel by the pool was quaint.
The Captain bar food service was slow and waited an hour for order to arrive. Example of food Caesar salad was lettuce, one small tomato and stale long pieces of bread. Cheese added later. It was at best a green salad.
Food here is extremely disappointing and not sure the head chef is aware how lack lustre it is. Lots of amazing restaurants across the road which we ate at. Beach Cafe on the beach about 150 yards away serves incredible breakfast and best coffee in Cyprus yet!
Two boutique shops in foyer for gifts and clothes. In summary staff are lovely and attentive- loads of room for kids to run around and enjoy the outdoors. Gorgeous location with great walkways/ paths along the beach.

We had a wedding invite so my husband decided to stay at the st Raphael resort.
I didn’t realise how close the Marina was until I saw it from the balcony of our room. Beautiful views relaxing beach with clear water. Plenty of water sports and full of bars a eating places. However everything comes with a high price so don’t be deceived! But if you don’t mind paying for what you get then this is place to be to relax!

This location is on the eastern outskirts of the Limassol district. This is a quiet relaxed area and the marina is in front of the St Raphael hotel. The sandy beach is clean and is well spaced out either side of the marina and the sea is shallow and is lovely and warm. There are water sports facilities along with a couple of places to eat and drink, notably the Malindi Bach Bar and Sailors Rest which are both by the sea with wonderful views. The food is not bad either! This is a really attractive location which has a picture postcard feel, would definatley recommend a visit.

Hi, is this place (Marina) close to the port where the cruiser I'm on the MSC will land?
Written 15 October 2019
No this place is on a private marina, not the port. But they are not that far, maybe 15 minutes by car
Written 21 October 2019
Where areas near where the cruise ships come in are nice to walk to?
