My boyfriend and I stayed here on the beginning of our week long mediterrean trip. The hotel was just steps from the beach and there was a great snack bar that delivered to the beach lounge chairs where cushoins were provided. The water was calm and the bay had warmer temperatures. We stayed in an inland view room--I would just pay the extra 10 bucks for a sea view. The breakfast every morning was great--fruit, eggs, cheese, bread...delicious! Definately a resort that catered to families on vacation. Would def reccomend for those wanted some time on the beach but it was about a 10-15 minute drive from downtown Larnaca were all the action/restaurants were--would need to rent a car.

Have stayed in Larnaca myself twice a year for 13 years (my partner has been going for 24!!) and I have always wanted to try one of the bigger hotels, we usually stay in apartments. We were very pleased with the overall atmosphere of the hotel. The room was spotlessly cleaned every day and had a very relaxing atmosphere. We opted for B/B and the breakfasts were fantastic, an excellent selection of hot and cold food was available and the service was superb, friendly and helpful, particularly Maria who cooks the eggs and omelettes to perfection. All areas of the hotel were very clean and well kept and the staff helpful and friendly.

Well recommended and we would certainly go back again

Have just returned from a 4 night break at the Palm Beach and would like to say just what a gem we thought the hotel was. Nothing like the previous reviews at all. I am sure we are not describing the same hotel.
We upgraded to a sea view and we were on the first floor but there were no palm trees obscuring our view! Yes there is Larnaka to the right and a power station far far to the left so I guess if you sit on the balcony with your binoculors it could be seen but assuming most people sit facing forward then your view is straight out to sea.
The rooms aren't huge but as we only slept and changed in our room it was plenty big enough, Plenty of storage space with a decent sized bathroom with free toiletries. The TV and the phone and the 2 hairdryers all worked perfectly.
The breakfasts are great and we had 1 evening meal in the hotel which was a carvery. Good value. But we ate at the restaurants across the road or in Larnaka the other nights. The Taverna directly opposite the hotel did the best Tournedos Rossini I have ever had. There are also Italian, Chinese, Indian and a great French restauant all within 5 mins walk of the hotel. The hotel by the way has its own taxi rank at the end of the drive and is 5cyp into Larnaka. We had a fish meze one day at the Paparazzi on Larnaka promenade and it was fantastic, so much we couldn't eat it all and we are big eaters!
Too cold to go in the outdoor pool while we were there but the indoor pool was great as was the Beauty Salon. The Piano Bar is a little pricey but has mood lighting and I guess you pay for the surroudings but it was nice to have a cocktail there before venturing out in the evening.
I am sure the hotel is even better in season when it is buzzing with activity and guests but for us it was just great.
Would definately return

As alwayas, I took care to research previous reviews on this hotel prior to booking - checking tripadvisor and the hotel website. Whilst I do not consider myself to be a particularly fussy traveller, it would appear my experience has been somewhat different from some of the glowing reports on tripadvisor. It was interesting (and a little reassuring that it wasn't just me), that another traveller at the hotel the same period as me was also disappointed enough to book out early.
I was so disappointed with this hotel I rescheduled my flight and booked out after 3 nights of a 5 night break (meant to be 27 Dec - 1 Jan) and endured a late cancellation fee of one nights room rate.
On the positive, the approach to the hotel with the christmas lights on the palm trees was impressive, together with the standard of cleanliness of the hotel. The recreation areas of the hotel was nicely furnished and decorated for christmas.
My room was an upgraded sea view room which was quite small and modestly furnished - definately not to the same standard as the ground floor recreation/communial areas. The view directly straight was sea but to the right the view was ugly commercial docks and to the left a power station. The bathroom was very small and dated in decor and fixtures - not what I was expecting from a hotel claiming to have been extensively refurbished in 2003.
The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the blanket had a brown soiling mass on it.
The biggest disappointment was the noise disturbance - every aspect of your neighbours conversation in the adjacent room can be heard to the extent you know what they are doing in the bathroom! I was awoken at least once during each of the three nights of my stay.
Although the hotel claims a number of restaurants, only the coffee lounge and the restaurant serving a buffet evening meal was open - the evening entertainment is within the dining room so if you don't eat at the hotel (I was on bed and breakfast), you don't benefit from the "nightly entertainment".
Drinks were quite expensive - £2.60 cyprus pounds (approx £3.12 sterling) for a coffee. It was however a nice cuppa.
The staff weren't overly helpful or friendly - prior to arrival I emailed as asked for directions to the hotel from the airport - their response "ask your car hire rep". At the hotel I asked to change a higher value note for tipping and was told they couldn't do this.
All in all quite disappointing, the hotel, service or facilities just did not meet my expectations which were based on the hotel's own website and brochure information.
It may also be helpful to know that although Cyprus is marketed in the uk as an all-year-round holiday destination, it appears many retailers and restaurants close "out of season".
