Stayed at the Jasmine Apartments out of no choice of ours. Originally booked Sunsmile Aprts but unfortunately the placed had closed down. Libra had booked us in the Jasmine. Unfortunately all the things I had read what was available on the internet and Libras brochures they stated that the Jasmine had entertainment nights (NOT TRUE), games machines (NOT TRUE). The aprts were standard and clean. Unfortunately the Manager and his wife were very rude. We were not allowed to use the bar after midnight nor go out to the pool side for a quite drink as we were told by the reception desk because we might wake the owners up. (This was a joke, we were on holiday not in a concentation camp.)

Did not see Libra rep in the two weeks we were there, apparently you needed to make an appointment to see her (What was it, was I going to make a dentist appointment). I am greek cypriot and love Limassol, but the experience we had at the Jasmine, I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Several people were moaning about the hotel, so I do hope that they write their reviews on this hotel. As for the mini market, it states that its open 24 hrs well thats a complete lie, the manager refused to sell some cigs to a holiday maker, he told her to go out to one of the bars to buy some.

And to end this review just letting you know that the pool is quite deep. You need to be over 5ft tall to be able to stand in the shallow end.

Found my stay at jasmine hotel enjoyable but i agree with the race track outside . nice pool area with a bar. Food was ok there but you have to go to woodmans cheap and really nice , turn left at pizza hut but keep on left handside of rd. good bars along the front. And yes there is a lot of ants scattered around the hotel.

we stayed here last 2 weeks in June, and found the staff quite friendly. We did not have to pay extra for air con, which others have mentioned, possibly the 1/2 person rooms on the top floor have not got this as there are no heat exchange units on their balconies, which are just big enough for 2 people. We stayed in a 3 person room on the 3rd floor and it was fine, though the 'maids' come about 10.30 if you're trying to lie in. The road outside is a bit noisy with passing traffic, and some guests were complaining, they do roar along the main road into town which is 100 yards away. There is a shop and a bakery just up the road from Jasmine, and 3 good food places nearby along the main road to the left, and a at least one more to the right incl an Indian one. The beach is nearby also, behind Pizza Hut, but has a stoney bit just at the water's edge. Beware the sand gets hot! The main tourist area is at least a quarter of a mile away, and Limassol town centre is 20 mins on the bus. We liked the old town, but shops similar, locals friendly. Lady's Mile beach round the bay towards Akrotiri is definately worth a visit, as it has nice sandy beach, but you need a car really to get there. Nicosia is about 60 mins drive away, was v hot when we went but shops are quite nice and locals friendly.

We visited limassol 06/07 and stayed in the jasmine apprts, which apon entering reception it looked a nice clean hotel, sadly this wasnt the case.
So here are a few points before considering a stay in jasmine & limmasol.
Bathroom- hadnt been cleaned and there were dirt rings in bath and wash basin, mirror was so dirty it was hard to see yourself in it, the towels looked as if they hadnt been washed in weeks.

Bedroom/Living area- The only cleaning in these rooms from the daily maid seemed to be sweeping the floor, she would put dirty cups etc back into cupboard (unwashed), bed sheets only seem to get washed if you wash them yourself, and they have a serious problem with Ants (and i dont mean one or two) prob about 10 in each bed and lots over the walls esp when using the hairdryer as this seems to send them into a frenzy. The fridge in room was dirty and the smelled like cabbage.

The Staff- Seemed unable to rasie a smile,seemingly unable to look at you when talking to you, and use grunts as communication.

Pool/Bar/Restaurant- Pool area looked ok but we didnt use these areas as rooms so dirty i didnt even want to think how bad the kitchen was esp with all the ants.

Services- Safe was fairly priced at 1 cyp a day (83p) but Air con a little expensive at £3.50 cyp a day (about £4.20)

Limassol it's self we found wasnt the ideal holiday location, The main road through the town which most hotels are on is used the locals as the race track, and even when you use the crossings many DON'T stop, this is because many are driving like boy racers high speeds (eg motorbike driving 80+ mph pulling wheelies and the noise is awful (not great as this is where the restaurants are,a bit like having a picknick next to M25 except faster).
The town its self was very clean this was prob because there was only a handfull of tourists, the beechs are ok but the sand is black/dark and lots of rocks on it and in the water.
The food in most resturants was pretty good in most places (woodman and shades really good) but was overpriced and saw some places selling egg and chips 3.50 cyp (about £4.20) and drinks quite expensive too unless drinking local sprints/wines/beers.
Finally when we heard the local hospitality was legendary we didnt realise this meant it was legendary find any, rude and arrogant 85% of the time except the ones who were taking your 3.50 cyp for egg and chips (they always had a smile on there face;s, strange that ! )

Weather - fantastic

After 6 days here we just wanted to be somewhere else (anywhere apart from limassol) so we went and hired a hotel in ayia napa (3 days) and paphos (4 days) Both of these places were everything limassol wasnt, friendly, fairly priced, lots to do, and not next to the race track.

If you do find yourself at limassol after reading this, dont say i didnt warn you..
