Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa – Adults Only

Hotel staff is polite and helpful. Modern fairly big rooms that are very clean. Comfy beds and excellent buffet breakfast. Pool is small and the nearest sandy beach is 15 minutes walk

Lovely clean hotel, perfectly located near the best beach in Cyprus. Several great facilities, although their mini bar fridge is terrible, doesn't cool anything, might as well just have a cupboard there instead. Couple of decent international tv channels would be nice too.

This is a very pleasant hotel where we’ve just spent an enjoyable week. It isn’t very large and is on the very edge of Protaras, alongside the national park area. This means that it is in a fairly quiet location, which suited us. As older folk we avoid areas that buzz with nightlife. There are a few restaurants and bars along the sea front as you walk towards the town, but we had all we needed at the hotel. The staff members are excellent. All are very friendly and efficient. Tasia the Guest Relations Manager is super-helpful. Many of the staff are from Nepal - and they do a great job. We were helped greatly by Puja and Ashik keep our wine glasses full in the late evenings. We thought the food was very good indeed. The Italian restaurant was also of a good standard (see photos) Katerina, the Spa manager, and her assistant Cuara were chatty and fun. They are now able to greet visitors in Welsh, which could come in handy — one day. Well, you never know :) There is no beach directly in front of the hotel. Instead there are steps from the rocks. The water was crystal clear. While many people like to sit around the pool, we preferred the more spacious lawn area. The cats kept us company on most days. I enjoyed the chance to go on long walks every morning. I hiked on the nature rail down to Cape Greco. In fact, I’ve just made a YT video of that Cape Greco walk. You can also hike up into the hills and enjoy great views. Our room, on the sixth floor, was very comfortable and well serviced by Evelyn. There are, though, a few strange features about the hotel. The first is that upon entering the lobby, you are confronted with a huge artwork of a woman who looks to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It is artistically fine, but a bit weird to greet you on your holiday. Secondly, there are no guest toilets on the first floor or anywhere near the reception area. They are down in the basement. So should you need to visit them while in the upstairs restaurant, you need to descend two floors. This seems like a design error, but it was not a great… inconvenience. At the end of every holiday we ask ourselves whether we would return. It’s a yes for this hotel.

The SPA was by far the best part of this trip, I booked a massage with Georgia and was left completely relaxed, by far one of the best massages I’ve had on holiday and the quality of the oil used was amazing! would recommend to anyone! the hotel itself is very good quality, clean rooms, decent buffet, friendly staff, not far from everything - would 100% recommend and will be coming back.
