Nissiana Hotel

We wouldn't recommend this hotel, as it was very basic, and the food poor, the dining room staff were unhelpful, and didn't notice when the glasses etc needed replacing, so we were always having to ask, breakfast was supposed to be served until 10.00am, but if you arrive after 9.30am there is hardly anything left, they will cook more food, eggs etc. but they always proved to be inedible. The food served in the evening was mediocre, and there was a lack of fresh fruits available, after a few days we found ourselves eating out of the hotel rather than in it.

The Nissiana Hotel was spotless, kept very clean both room and around the hotel. Towels are changed a few times a week and maids attend every day. Staff are very friendly and only to happy to help. Food and drink are both superb, we only stayed bed and breakfast and on the mornings we managed to get there (served 7-10am) you had a choice of eggs, sausage and bacon etc as well as croissants and several different fruits. The facilities are also very good; you can play tennis, table tennis and use the gym all as basic but have to pay for sauna etc. There is also a mini golf thing but this wasn't tried by us.

The only downside is that our room was extremely hot during the night, apparently the air conditioning works if the patio door is closed but this didn't seem to be the case...we usually woke up sweating. Our friends did have a separate room which was quite cool (maybe we were just unlucky). The only other downside is having to pay for the use of the fridge which is a little expensive. We only had water to put in the fridge so didn't actually bother.

The resort is superb, Ayia Napa being a very busy place. The hotel is situated on Nissi Avenue, almost opposite Nissi Beach, a superb clean and crystal clear watered beach. Plenty of room even when it's pretty busy.

Ayia Napa centre (or 'The Square' as its known) is about a 20-25min walk away along the full length of Nissi Ave. You can very easily get a cab though for £4 (Cypriot) which is the basic rate for all taxis.

A thoroughly enjoyable holiday!
