Sunrise Oasis Hotel & Waterpark

Food was good and Chef always helpful with dietary needs. Loved the garlic pizza, mash & beef stifado. Rooms clean, big, aircon microwave 2.ring cooker & fridge. Lovely balcony & great sea view for us. Only downfall was tv in lounge and not bedroom & only 4 channels. Main pool clean, plenty of sunbeds that are allocated on arrival for whole stay. We requested a move from the grass area to poolside & those in charge obliged. Pool bar staff were fun, friendly & very efficient. Evening entertainment was a bit hit & miss. Pretty substandard acts. Forget daytime activities because I think the animation team did! I agree with another reviewer the 3 have no talent, dont interact with guests & look awkward on the few occasions they made announcements. Neither knew how to use the microphone so you could actually understand what they were saying through the crackly single speaker. We usually join in any games but never knew where to go except the 2 water activities which were a shambles. Aqua aerobics consisted of hand movements ! Oh there was a small basketball net floating around with one child using it but never any activity from those supposed to be organising it. Majority of staff were nice & friendly but we had an issue with being served bottled sparkling water on 3 occasions with one barman extremely rude and arrogant in the way he stated we had to pay even though its part of AI. We explained reception had told us to the contrary but only when the receptionist came with us did he serve it to us. This caused us embarrassment in front of other guests. It was reported to public relations who apologised & claimed he said we asked for still water which is a total lie as we could get that from the self serve machine plus reception were already aware of the previous 2 occasions we specifically for sparkling water. The same happened to friends who wanted water. Apparently you have to pay for still water in plastic bottles because it is filtered. That's not a problem but staff should be trained to convey this to guests not just say 'you have to pay'. Public relations apologised but the four of us were too intimidated to use the inside bar again because of the manner of the barman towards us. This was our friends 2nd visit to the hotel but they nor us would ever return. Only the waterpark makes it 4 star, 3 star food, 2 star entertainment, 1 star animation. Far better hotels in Cyprus for a lot less money.

What they do is great. First time in hotel as we could not get our preferred. Rooms amazing. Food was great. Allocated sun beds. Just a couple of negatives but by far outweighed by positives. Food in a small area was amazingly delivered. Cleaning was good. Receptionist great. Towel and pool guy was just amazing. Well informed and helpful
