Just had amazing week at the Golden bay We were given an upgrade to the mini suite with the hot tub ready to use at any time on our balcony 😀 The staff are lovely and helpful the food is off the scale amazing the Taverna is really romantic and lovely we’re aiming to visit again with relatives next year only thing would’ve liked a little bit more of is the entertainment in the evening although was very calming and sublime I think one fun night or two of greek music and dancing would be lovely , but maybe this is more in the season of the summer highly recommend this hotel !

Hotel's Favourite
We had a wonderful trip. The staff were top notch and always… always… ready to accommodate our every need. The room comfortable with a sea view. If I can complain about one thing… there was a wedding on the hotel grounds one night that only began at 9:00 pm. I think the guests at the hotel should be aware of this as the music was VERY loud

This hotel states in the booking blurb that its one of the best hotels in Cyprus, well I'll have to politely disagree with that sentiment!. The hotel is starting to get a tittle tired and rough around the edges. The décor is getting dated and the whole place could do with a freshen up. That said its nice enough, the pool area is ok, the "beach" is not the best but if you have kids its super safe as the water is very shallow. The hotel is situated quite far out of Larnaca so there is almost nothing happening around the hotel itself OK, not to the main gripe I have with this hotel. We paid a premium and went "All Inclusive" here. It was our first holiday out of lockdown and we thought we'd splash out a little. After being all inclusive quite a few time previously we thought we knew what we were in for. The hotel states it has 5 restaurants and 3 bars, so it appears that you have a great choice! The issue was One of the restaurants was fully closed, one was not open on certain nights and the others are only open at certain times of the day so only one was open at a time! So having paid a premium rate for all inclusive it isn't actually all inclusive! No premium drinks are included, things like Carona beer, various spirits, only certain cocktails are available. If you are a Pina Colada forget it. That's not included. All room service is not included, if you want to take a drink to your room and sit on the balcony, only one drink at a time is permitted, and the bar staff police it stringently! On the staff. Now I used to read reviews and dismiss where people had moaned about staff. I always thought that there must be more to it. Wow how wrong could I have been. I have literally never been to a hotel where the staff are either just down right miserable or out and out rude! We used the two bars that were open during our stay (the Shakespeare bar was closed). Pool bar. Two guys seemed to operate this bar. One older guy barely said a word, and god forbid if he smiled I'm sure his face would crack. The younger guy was almost as bad. He even refused to serve me two bottles of water as "all inclusive didn't start until 10am" The time was 9.57am The cocktail bar was generally run by another old guy. He refused me a drink as I still had some left of the one I had been drinking (beer which had gone flat) so to get a further drink I had to drink the warm flat beer.. WTAF! During one of our dinners as we walked in and asked the maître de where we could sit. She showed us where we could sit close to the windows. We selected a table (one of the ones she showed us) then got upset with us that we chose a table for six.. So why show us there then!!!!! The staff need to remember, there is a pandemic happening right now. People are unsure weather to travel or not, if people don't go to your establishment, unfortunately have no guests to serve and then likely no job. It costs nothing to smile and be nice! This was our first holiday for a few years and it was a real disappointment to be honest. One of the very few places I can safely say we will never go back to!…

Dear Richard H, Thank you for taking the time to write your review and express your feelings from your recent stay here at Golden Bay Beach Hotel, we greatly appreciate your feedback. We would like to assure you that it is of the highest priority to us that all of our guests have an enjoyable and memorable holiday experience. However, we are saddened to hear that you did not find our hotel up to your expectations and satisfaction and we are sorry that you feel this way. Please allow us clarify some points you have mentioned in your review: Despite the fact that our hotel was built a long time ago, we try to keep up with the times and over the past years we have been and are doing renovations. Unfortunately, maybe this does not happen as quickly as we would like, because our hotel is open all year round and the situation in the last two years in the world has not contributed in a good way either. With regards to the restaurants, at the service of our guests, the Yacht Club restaurant is opened for a buffet during breakfast and themed nights during dinners. Our Thalassa restaurant is opened for lunch buffet and snacks. Our guests can also ask for a la carte (not included in the all inclusive package) in case they do not find something suitable for themselves. Tavern To Petrino is open during the evening hours all days except Thursday during the summer season. In addition, our All Inclusive guests receive from reception desk brochure with items, which are included in this package. Please be informed that not only local, but import alcohol is included in AI package. Our hotel is constantly striving to ensure that all services and facilities meet our guests’ expectations and feedback from our guests is one of the most important tools in enabling us to achieve this. Thank you once again for your comments. We would like to assure you that our guests feedback both constructive and positive is of the highest importance to us. Please rest assured all of your feedback will be passed onto the management team here in order for any necessary actions to be taken. Always at your disposal, Anastasia Rumjanceva Guest Relations guestrelations@goldenbay.com.cy

Great views, impeccably clean, generally nice staff, perfectly adequate rooms, but... this does not feel like a five star hotel. Four star at best. All inclusive offering is severely limited. Dinner was always mediocre at best. The taverna restaurant was atrocious (lamb tasted of fish🤢). And there is no service mentality. Very limited table service, meaning you need to trudge to the bar every 30 mins. Towels are treated like gold dust, you need to sign them in and out. The swimming pool was freezing cold. And when we went to play tennis they gave us the oldest crappiest racquets I have ever seen. A lot of facilities were closed due to COVID - no kids club, no animation team. By no means the worst holiday, but I would not be coming back at this price.

We Have visited Cyprus for many years now and nearly always stay at this hotel. The recent renovation has been carried out to a very high standard. Over the years we have got to know many of the staff who carry out their duties in a very professional manner as they did on this visit. Our room was exceptionally clean on arrival and was cleaned every day to a high standard. The pool and gardens were very well kept and the pool attendants were on hand to help if needed, all of the sun beds/ sun shades have been renewed plus the lovely new fluffy pool towels. The restaurant Manager Kyriakos gets a special mention due to his continued care and attention to us and the other guests. The food was of a very high standard and the choice was excellent, having a glass of champagne with breakfast makes it that little bit special. If you want to stay in a hotel just outside the main town of Larnaca with a very nice beach, excellent staff etc I recommend this hotel. I will finish by saying that the measures put in place by the hotel due to Covid whilst we were there was of a very high standard and the staff were strict in abiding by the rules. We shall return soon.…
