Anais Bay Hotel and Apartments

My wife and I booked our stay at the Anais Bay Hotel and it turned out to be exactly the kind of place we were looking for. The hotel is small and family-run, situated close to a picturesque beach. This is basically what makes Anais Bay such a wonderful hotel to stay at, along with the high standards of cleanliness and friendly, attentive staff. The hotel’s position is a stone’s throw away from plenty of supermarkets, bars and restaurants. As mentioned, it is also a short 5-minute walk to Kalamies Beach. My wife and I were also pleased with our room, which was kept clean and comfortable by room keeping staff during our stay. One night we had an issue with our TV but the reception staff acted quickly to put this right for us. They demonstrated great customer service. We had to pay extra to use the fridge in our room and were only provided with a couple of tea and coffee sachets each in our room, which the hotel stated in their welcome book would not be replenished during our stay. Not that we spent much time in our room but I couldn’t help but feel this was a bit stingy. Air con and a safe were included though, which was great. One thing I was also slightly disappointed with was the breakfast, which featured frankfurter sausages (for me, not a breakfast sausage), undercooked bacon and watery scrambled egg. However, there were plenty of good alternatives (cereals, cold meats and fruit) plus a decent selection of juices and coffee. The food at the bar was fantastic, both in quality and quantity. The hotel has a policy of not allowing guests to leave towels on sun beds to ‘reserve’ places around the pool. However, this wasn’t enforced at all by staff so my advice is to get there early before breakfast! Otherwise, it costs about €6-7 to get a bed on the beach if you want plenty of sun. Overall, Anais Bay Hotel is a great place to spend a holiday in the sun. We would definitely consider staying at this hotel again like so many others do.

This hotel has everything you need and is in an excellent location just off of Kalamies Bay in Paralimni. We stayed bed and breakfast and although not everything was to our taste, the area was kept exceptionally clean and the staff were always on hand to assist if necessary. The bedrooms were kept mostly clean - I would have appreciated if the hotel provided a dustpan and brush to clean sandy debris up after a day at the beach - but I know that I am not-picking. I also would have liked for coffee to be topped up each day so that we could have enjoyed this each morning. The sea view rooms have an amazing outlook from the balcony and it was lovely to watch the sunrise and set each day. I didn’t use the pool as it was quite small and I didn’t feel comfortable due to it being overlooked by the bar area. However it was kept clean at all times and did look inviting. The nearby beach (Kalamies Bay) is a 5 minute stroll away and there is a small fee for sunbeds and parasols (€2.50 each). This price includes WiFi which can be accessed by looking at the receipt and entering a code. The gorgeous (but busy) Fig Tree Bay beach is about a 15 minute bus ride away from the Main Street. The walk from the hotel to the bus stop is straightforward but on a slight incline and takes about 10 minutes to walk to. You then catch the 101/102 bus which cost €1.50 for a single. Overall I would recommend this hotel due to its excellent location and thank the staff for making us feel so welcome. 7.5/10.

Stayed here for two weeks and it was great. Lovely rooms, fantastic staff throughout the hotel but especially on reception and of course the place wouldnt be the same without raffi!!! All the staff are friendly and helpful and we definately will be returning.The food was good the pool area was fab and is situated in a great area very close to our favourite beach, restaurants and shops. All in all a great holiday thanks to you all.
