Amathus Beach Hotel

This was our second stay this year, after a memorable visit in January to celebrate my birthday. This was another memorable stay. As the hotel will be closed for renovations next January, when we planned to return, they celebrated my next birthday early. There are only a few hotels to which we regularly return and this will certainly be one of them. We stayed in a very comfortable sea view room with a fabulous view. If ever I win the lottery, I would book one of the amazing pool suites! On this visit, the service, food, beautiful gardens, entertainment and immaculate hotel remained superb.From arrival to departure, we were made to feel very special. The hotel was full, with many eastern European guests, and there were many children visiting, which we did not expect in mid-October. However, we always managed to find a quiet spot to relax, assisted by the fantastic beach and garden staff. The Cyan restaurant, which we so enjoyed on our last visit, was closed, but we enjoyed the buffet dinner in kalypso Gardens, with the excellent entertainment. Unfortunately, there were a couple of British families who allowed their children to run about on the stage and in the restaurant, which must have been both annoying to the very patient entertainers, and a hazard to the staff and customers .There was a clear notice requesting parents not to allow their children on stage after 8.30pm. So on four evenings, we ate at the excellent Limanaki fish restaurant. The food was superb and our favourite was the red snapper. As the weather was so hot, we mostly relaxed during the day and went for long walks along the coast in the evening. On one evening, there was a lightning storm over the ancient Amathounta ruins, which was very atmospheric. This is an extremely well run outstanding hotel. We look forward to returning when the renovations are complete.

Amathus Beach hotel was a wonderful place for a relaxing family holiday. The staff were so attentive and absolutely made the holiday. Great facilities, the kids pool had fun slides and was right next to the kids club. Kids club is indoor only but lots of different activities from cooking to face painting. Great swimming pools, indoor and outdoor and safe beaches at the bottom of the hotel grounds. The buffet was also very good with great choices catering for all dietary requirements, lots of healthy options as well as delicious puddings!! I would highly recommend this hotel and it's wonderful staff team that really were superb.

Reading through the reviews of Amathus Beach Limassol, you will notice that almost every review details how much the guests enjoyed themselves, the gorgeous grounds, the very clean and beautifully maintained rooms, the staff being amazing, and the list can go on and on. Well this review is not going to be any different. Amathus Beach in Limassol, and the people who work there cannot be praised enough for the way that they make people happy. It is just what you want from a holiday .... to come away happy, relaxed and remember your time long enough to relive it all when you come back ... and like many others, we will surely be back. You will notice something else that is quite nice to see. That the general manager personally replies to each and every review, whether it be great or one that mentions a problem. The general manager then gives his personal email and says "email me if you need anything" ... This is seriously very impressive. The ethos shows that from the top and all the way across the different staffing departments, this is how Andreas leads by example. The staff are all like this. They take ownership of making sure that you are happy, and anything that is not 100% they try to fix to their best abilities. This is the main thing that we as a family of 4 loved about Amathus Beach. Things sometimes go wrong, but if they do, the staff is on hand to make it right. So to some more specific points. The rooms are really great, however do be prepared that if you want 1 room and you are a family of 4, then the sea view rooms are only large enough for 3 max. If you can pay for two connecting rooms then definitely do it, but most families we saw stay in the non sea view rooms, which are slightly larger, yet face the back of the hotel to the road and dont have balconies. If this is going to be a major problem, and you want an outdoor area like the balcony , then you must book a sea view room. Let me tell you, the sea view rooms are spectacular, although if you are planning to be out most of the day and you dont need the romance of a lovely view, then the non sea view rooms are fine. Breakfast is one of the best we have encountered, with a plethora of different types of cold and hot foods, every type of coffee that you can think of is made perfectly and the most helpful staff you could ever want to smile at you in the morning. Pools are fantastic with 3 to choose from. A special kids pool with two pool slides that kept the kids (and me) busy. If you want a little more relaxation there is another larger and deeper pool and as well there is an all salt indoor pool which was very nice on the aching muscles, as it is heated to around 30 degrees. The outside grounds and gardens are stunning, and a walk around is very peaceful and tranquil. Never had any issues with a sunbed , and there are some with a 4 poster canopy around the gardens, that have a lovely view out into the sea. We didnt have half or full board, although the lunch and dinner buffet's did look very tempting. We ate one night at a dinner buffet and the selection was beyond what we would have expected, so something for everyone. We may do a half board next time, as it was more convenient than having to find a nice restaurant on the main beach road of Limassol. The Pelican kids club does a brilliant job with the kids, and are open for most of the day. Our kids found the cooking activities the most fun, and every evening they run a night activity that is really fun for the kids, whether it is a magician, a disco or a movie ... the hotel really caters for keeping the kids entertained and giving you some relaxation time. I started off this review praising the staff, and I will end it in the same way. The staff in every department are really special and make this hotel resort the luxurious environment that it exudes. My wife and I kept saying the same thing ... "they just get it " and it .. is the understanding on how to make sure that guests are happy. Thank you all for an incredible week at Amathus Beach . We will be back
