we stayed self-catering and as a couple in a studio, which was ample in size & cleaned every day - brilliant. lovely clean well lit walkways, pool area and bar and restaurant were also well cared for. it is a brilliant base and very reasonably priced. no idea about the food as ate out all the time and as the client base is mainly russian i couldn't ask anyone. in all it was a lovely quiet hotel, however i don't know what it would be like later on in the season.

only a small point.....having marble flooring throughout the public areas means that you hear the clip clop of stilettos constantly - may be rubber mats on these areas??

I stayed for 1 week at the New Famagusta from May 7 2010.
I had always liked the look of the property from previous visits to Ayia Napa and after checking out the reports on Trip Advisor booked the holiday.
The room was great for self catering though in my opinion just big enough for a couple. The bathroom and shower were modern and clean, the beds comfortable and the fridge working beautifully. There is also a TV in the room with an English channel 'BBC News Worldwide 24' and a hairdrier attached to the wall.
The pool area was spotless. Okay, the pool isn't Olympic-sized but I reckon it's one of the best I've used in Ayia Napa self-catering!!
Around the pool I didn't hear a British voice all week. Everyone was Russian! But they were all friendly enough and sooner rather than later we were buying each other beers.
The property is in a good location. A slow ten minute walk to The Square or Nissi Avenue, and there's an inexpensive supermarket just two minutes away from reception - which is incidently very smart and tidy. Here you can hire a safety deposit box for your stay.
The on site restaurant serves meals and snacks which are of a very good standard.
The gym. Superb! 15 Euros for the week and the equipment is top notch, so fitness fanatics looking to keep fit and toned should bring their gym gloves and a sweat towel (compulsory) to wipe down the equipment.
Couldn't fault the New Famagusta. Probably the best self catering I've stayed in Ayia Napa!
There was hardly any clubbers at the start of May so there was no noise at night.
Cheers to the staff & cleaners who really do their best.

things we enjoyed about this hotel... pretty pool very clean, lots of sun loungers. good waiter service to pool happy hour 2-4pm 7-10pm. staff helpful so friendly. rooms basic but clean, we stayed in studio appartment small 2 ring hob and small fridge, sink and utensils. luvly indoor pool and excellent gym but this you have to pay for.

down side... we went half board and found hotel breakfast did provide both english and european however evening meals were terrible i am not fussy but struggled at times to find something enjoyable. food was warm never hot only small choice and catered for the russian holiday maker which is who mainly stay at this hotel. english children would not eat the food at this hotel.

we realised after our first sleepless night due to the young people who stay here, shouting and playing loud music until 5am in the morning that this is for the serious clubbing youth due to it's location 5mins walk to the square. we are very liberal and dont mind some noise but it was ridiculous. we didnt complain because at the end of the day we realised that this is a hotel for the young and lively during the summer months so you have to take it as it comes but we would not go back to this hotel.

We stayed here in mid june for 10 days and the hotel was fab.
Maid service every day apart from sunday and clean towels and linen provided. Request for extra pillow was ignored/forgotten three times! never mine rolled up towels did the trick.
Self catering apartment was basic with small electric hob, fridge and little cupboard space, basic kitchen utensils supplied, but we didnt eat in the room much so was ok.
Air con is 20 euros extra but refundable when you leave well worth it when its hot, as we tryed sleeping with patio door open on first night and noise from the restaurant across road did keep us awake. perfect spot, literally ten min walk away from main square so if you wanted a quiet night in you werent disturbed by noise, however one night we were awoken to 3 delightful brits in the pool at 5am shouting england no one seemed to do anything about it.
Pool was fab, clean and plenty of sun loungers, waiter very helpful and happy hour 2 till 4 was great!
Beds werent the most comfortable, quite solid but you get used to it after a while! for a 3 star hotel it was pretty good.
some fab restaurants around the corner (petinos) was fab so friendly and welcoming, food was great.
Lamanaki beach was a 15 min walk from hotel and is quite nice much better than nissi which was dirty n packed!
Makronissos beach was best of all, small, quiet and slightly out the way we had to get taxi there and back, but beautiful crystal waters and gold sands, make sure you have a go at the watersports there.
Hotel is probably more suited to younger people, unless you arent awaken easily, as maybe a couple of nights we were disturbed by loud russians stomping around, but there were plenty of young familys around.
Bear in mind too, if you are going for a friends hols clubbing etc, dont get dragged into all the bars! as this was a nightmare, it was hard to say no and everyone wanted u in their bars and clubs. half the time we wondered if we had a choice!
Fab supermarket next door, with a deli bakery and cake shop, reasonably priced.
Definatly take a trip to water park great fun for all ages just hold on to your bikini tops girls!
Overall a great holiday and hotel.
