Louis St. Elias Resort & Waterpark

The resort boasts clean, spacious rooms with friendly staff, separate pools, and kitchenettes. Guests appreciate the sea view, separate pools with waterslides, and evening entertainment.

A 2nd visit in 2 years to St Ellias was outstanding. Although the rooms are not the most digitally equipped the resort offers great food in a relaxed atmosphere and is only 15 mins walk from the Protaras *****. It is the staff who make this hotel successful. The team are lead by operations manager Floris who is full of energy and enthusiasm. It's not often that I would pick out individuals but Mr Atif in the bar and Mr Reda in the restaurant showed exceptional attitudes towards guest experiences. The hidden staff in the kitchens,the grounds and housekeeping all deserve a mention for their overall contributions to the efficient running of the resort. Whether you are a family or a couple St Ellias caters for all needs and I am already planning another stay.

We (2 adults 1 child 3yo) stayed in this wonderful place for 11 nights in the middle of May. It is stunning, so clean, well laid out, the pools are lovely and it just has a great feel to the place. Up the hill with some lovely views of the horizon and St Elias chapel, its away from the noise, hustle and bustle of the town. There is a shuttle bus that runs regularly into Protaris which is fab the driver is a lovely chap and always tries to stop if he sees you, even though there are designated stop points. The walk though is only 10 mins, though it shows longer on Google Maps. The food is fantastic, a superb selection for all meal times and food themed nights such as Mexican/Med etc. Much better than nearly all the hotels we have ever stayed in and a big reason we chose here for the reviews. I was very impressed with the main restaurant food, the snack bar was fine it had nuggets chips and burgers, then some cold options like salads and wraps. Then they also have the Meze restaurant which you can book, free of charge which is brilliant. Lovely setting, the food is fabulous but bring your eating slacks as there is a huge amount of it, we had to be rolled out of there. Food gets an easy 5* for me overall. The rooms are very nice, spacious and well presented when you arrive, a refurb would be needed to take this to 5* but excellent value for money with what you pay for this place. The showers were literally the only disappointing thing as they were rarely hot, you need to put on an immersion heater to warm them so waiting around and even then it didn't really last a shallow bath for our daughter the wife (who likes a volcanic shower) then me who was left with what was left. However as i say this was the only negative. The entertainment was absolutely fantastic, the team made the holiday so special for our daughter as they are honestly brilliant. They work so hard do everything between them the the poolside aerobics, games, activities, quizzes, the nightly shows and entertainment and kids club, which is very well resourced and such a fun place to go (kids have to be 4 to be left but can be under this if you stay with them). The shows, Ryan the lead vocalist is a great singer, an even better dancer and just a pure entertainer. This along with the fact he's one of the loveliest guys we have ever met, I've never our 3yo daughter so attached to someone other than family. He made her holiday, he knows everyone's names, kids and parents (i don't know how), Ryan was a family favorite. Lola, Lillie, Mia, Hazel and Alice (Who was leaving to go onto the cruise ships) were all wonderful dancers, the costume changes, the choreography and the interaction with the crowd/kids was just brilliant. Leading the mini disco for the kids and being so wonderful every single one of them. The hotel is lucky to have such a great team and entertainment on site. This was our favorite part if we had to choose something, every single day our daughter said "are the girls dan
