Island Boutique Hotel

Pros: By the beach, with free chairs and umbrellas, and close to the airport. Walking distance (30 minutes) from the historical center. Spacious rooms. Cons: The hotel advertises that all rooms have see views, but the 1st floor has a view that's mostly obstructed by the roof. If you are going to pay full-price for the view, request a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor, otherwise it's money thrown away. The beach is not as nice as in other nearby places (Ayia Napa, for instance), but the water looks clean. The problem is the sand: full of litter thrown by guests and not cleaned by the property or the municipality - disgusting to walk barefoot. Breakfast was OK, but the only drinks served were coffee and artificial juices (no water). You can only get one beach towel per guest, so you have to use the same one to sit on and to dry yourself. Shower was broken, drinking glass was chipped, air conditioning very noisy, sink was dirty, linen ragged/ripped/stained (some of these issues were fixed after I complained, but it was a very short vacation and I wasted a lot of time having to deal with issues that should be basic hospitality). Staff was rude and confrontational (except for a very nice young man who was working the breakfast salon). Free wifi worked on and off in my room. No bar service at the beach, even though it is 5 meters away (guests have to pick up drinks and food themselves at the counter to take to their beach chairs). Not a boutique hotel, and I believe there are better options for the price (which is not cheap, especially for a 3-star) in Larnaca.

The location is excellent and the restaurant is also very good . The staff is polite and willing to serve ,with smiles..................!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... . ............. ...............................................

This hotel is a gem - what a find! Small & stylish with perfect views! Very, very clean & tidy, Elvi & team couldn't do enough for their guests. Breakfast - superb & plenty of choice! Visit again when in Cyprus? most definitely. Another bonus for us was the perfect weather after much rain. Gym - also useful & literally just across the road Thank you!

The hotel location is lovely as it’s at the beachfront. The airport and the centre of Larnaca are close. It’s nicely furnished and the breakfast is all right, staff is very friendly and helpful. But…. at night.. there is extremely loud music and we’ve ringed the bar and reception several times and they did not lower the sound as we’ve asked as it’s unreasonable to have it sooo mega loud. The law probably let’s them play by midnight. Avoid if you’ve booked a hotel where you want to sleep. Probably you book a certain hotel room because you want to sleep and especially if it’s called a boutique hotel and it’s not located in Ayia Napa and it’s actually not the cheapest. If we wanted a loud party music we would head there or in a hostel. Avoid.

Unlike other years where you were greeted by friendly, welcoming staff, this year, there is a barman who cannot mix his own cocktail menu and the most miserable waitress in the restaurant who literally threw the drink menu at me. The barman took the drinks order and told us to go back to our loungers and he will bring them over. The miserable waitress then heard and told me to wait and take them myself as she doesn’t serve on the beach………a while 5 metres from their dining table. We would have stayed for lunch, but will drink up and leave
