Kouklia Apartments

We previously visited in January 2024 [and also in many previous years] and left a review saying that we were disappointed by the number of noisy golf groups. This year we actually intended to go to a favourite hotel in the Canaries but it was fully booked and so we decided to give Aphrodite Hills another chance in order to play golf in the sunshine. Overall we had a good holiday with friendly service and good quality meals. A group of 30 Polish golfers arrived part way through our stay and made it necessary for us to dine earlier than we would normally choose in order to be served before them. Unfortunately the Fig and Olive restaurant was closed for a few days for maintenance during our stay and we can understand the need for that. On the Sunday evening the only dining option offered to hotel guests was in the Anoi pub - which was full of noisy scruffy football fans watching a Manchester United match. Definitely not the dining experience a 5* hotel should be offering to guests. The following few evenings we dined in the Jasmine Asian restaurant which was very good quality but did become somewhat repetitive after 3 consecutive nights. Strangely the option of dining in the Greek Tavern was never offered which seems ironic given that we were in Cyprus. Breakfast for the days the hotel restaurant was closed was in the Golf Clubhouse and the service was shockingly slow. One day it took literally 30 minutes to get 2 bowls of granola, which was excellent when it finally arrived. Luckily we were not playing golf that day. The only coffee we were offered was filter coffee and we were told that 'special' coffees such as cappucino would have to be paid for. Again not the 5* hotel experience that we had paid for. We would probably visit Aphrodite Hills again simply to play golf in the sunshine on one of our favouite courses but next time will consider staying B&B instead of HB because of the poor dining options offered when the main restaurant was closed.
