Louis St. Elias Resort & Waterpark

Late review / never got round to posting! Our family of four (kids age 4 and 9) visited St Elias in mid-October for 1 week and it was everything we had read in the reviews and more. Upon arrival we were nervous as were given a ground floor room but had asked for first floor as our youngest tends to wander off. The manager Flouris was there to greet us and assured me I would be happy with the room. Another staff manager then showed us to our 1 bedroom suite, carried our bags and gave us a quick tour of the site. The rooms were huge, clean, and had everything we needed - fridge was stocked with water which is a nice touch after a lot of travelling. The balcony was the biggest I have ever seen and was fully enclosed - it could also be accessed from the bedroom . As we were settling in Floris came and checked we were happy. We had one problem with the room - one evening the shower tray wouldn’t empty. We called reception and someone came round in 5 mins and it was fixed less than ten. So all good! There are two pool areas, a quieter one and a family area. With splash pool and waterslides so both kids were happy! There was entertainment all day round the pool such as water polo, quiz’s, darts etc. It’s the first holiday I’ve been on in years where there were no sunbed wars and there were enough to go round. The kids also loved the pool snack bar so much that we only went to the restaurant for lunch a couple of times. They ate nuggets, fries and ice cream on repeat! The on to the buffet restaurant - it’s hands down the best all inclusive food we’ve ever had. It was a bit hectic at peak times but it was worth it and it’s lovely that they serve you drinks rather than have to collect them and food for you and the kids. Breakfast had everything you could think of and was lovely and then there was a theme every night like Italian, or Mexican etc and there was just so much choice. Even the fussy 9 year old never went hungry. We also booked and visited the Al Carte restaurant Meze one evening and this was one of the best meals we’ve ever had! It’s a traditional Greek tasting menu and it’s a lovely change of pace from the buffet spending the evening being wined and dined. On to the evening entertainment - the kids loved it and so did we. It’s not what you get in some huge hotels that bring in outside acts but the girls work so hard to put on an amazing show every night. Annabelle’s voice is amazing and Jess and Hazel, Anna, Ellie went out of their way every day to involve the kids and chat with us. Other little things to mention the hourly shuttle bus to town and beach was a god send and we used it most days! There is a beautiful church on the hill right next to the hotel. Bit of a walk up the steps but well worth it for the golden hour views! All in all we had a wonderful time and will be back!

We stayed here in October half term last year and absolutely loved it so we’ve just booked today to return in the summer! It’s a stunning place to stay. Rooms are clean and spacious and we had a huge balcony. The staff are brilliant and make you feel so welcome and well looked after. The food is amazing and a massive factor for us re-booking to go again - easily the best all-inclusive food we’ve ever had. We already cannot wait to be back!

I meant to write this review as we returned from holiday in April 24 but am only just getting round to it now. We travelled with extended family and there was 10 of us 6 adults and 4 children between the ages of 8 and 6 months. We all had a brilliant time. My nephew has coeliac disease and the hotel went above and beyond to help him. Unfortunately the manager wasn’t there when we arrived and due to some miscommunication he did have some gluten very early on and was very sick but they dealt with it very well and the manager came and helped him at dinner every night bringing him out special puddings and everything so he had a brilliant time the whole rest of the holiday with no issues at all. The pools were chilly but absolutely useable and the slides were brilliant. The entertainment team were fantastic, so friendly with both kids and adults and really made an effort to involve everyone. The kids loved the mini disco and the entertainment afterwards was enjoyed by all the adults. The gym could have done with some free weights. The food was the best all inclusive food I have ever experienced, so fresh and delicious and really varied every day with local foods to try and fussy friendly food too. Drinks were good with slushies for kids and good cocktails for adults. The Prosecco wasn’t very nice but there were so many other drinks to choose from. Rooms were nice though didn’t feel particularly luxury. The surroundings are beautiful and worth walking up the hill to the church for the view! Would definitely stay again.

We visited this resort as a family holiday found resort very clean and very friendly staff.... the entertainment staff were brilliant the food was something for everyone to enjoy.. pools and slides were good and we well be coming back soon..

This place is just the perfect place for families with little ones. The rooms are spacious, the entertainment staff on site and the staff in the restaurant are all so tolerant and nice to all visitors big to small. Great variety of food in the main restaurant. Don't forget to book at least one dinner at the meze restaurant :-)

Fantastic resort 15 minutes walk from Protaras centre. Staff, from Reception, Bar, Restaunt and the Meze, were all fantastic from day one until we were leaving after our week there. So attentive and friendly! Best and biggest variety of food we've had at any All Inclusive, and branded sprouts, beers, etc I would say that a couple of pieces of furniture in our room were a bit tired and could do with replacing, but that in no way detracted from our experience at this wonderful resort. Would we go back? DEFINITELY! (Oh, and Rod Stewart at the Bliss Bar on the ***** was brilliant! He and my missus both apparently shop in Primark for their leopard print tops!!)
