Yeroskipou Hotels with Airport pickup service

I went for one week in September with a friend for a trip to recharge our batteries! We were on the all inclusive ‘elite’ scheme. Pros * I have seen some comments about a lack of cleanliness however my experience was that our room was really clean and serviced daily. The rest of the hotel was also well cared for. The decor maybe a bit more traditional but clean and cared for. * branded drinks in our room restocked each day. * a nice bottle of wine and fruit in our room on arrival and a bottle of champagne in our room on our last night. * food was good. A nice selection and we ate in one of the a la carte restaurants and the food was really good. * went to Greek night and there was great entertainment and food. * cocktails available which were really nice and the bar tenders began to remember our drinks orders and brought them over when they saw us getting low! * plenty of sun loungers. Admittedly were were out of peak season. * great location on the beach. * staff all really friendly with great humour. * a 30/40 min walk to the harbour * adults only pool area * Coffee machine in room * the gardens looked well looked after and cared for. * roof top bar has lovely views to watch the sun set Cons * The usual challange with many all inclusive restaurants that you have to be organised and book your a la carte meals in advance to ensure there’s space. We missed out on the Italian on was we weren’t well organised. * no bath, only a shower. * the room was quite basic in decor, although clean and functional * towels weren’t very fluffy and need an upgrade * seemed to cater to a slightly older crowd - could be the time of year * not much in terms of activities going on in the day * the mini golf area was disappointing and very minimal

The spa experience today was absolutely fantastic! Despite being self conscious initially, Irene quickly removed any feelings of feeling awkward and I was able to fully relax and enjoy the experience without any concerns. She reassured me of what was going to happen and made me feel comfortable throughout. My dignity remained in tact and I can honestly say I was able to let my inhibitions go and I was transcended to another world! It’s the best experience I have had, and for someone who can find any reason not to do something…I can’t tell you how pleased I was to push my boundaries and give it a try. Irene was able to apply just the right pressure without my guidance and adjusted the treatment as I had an ankle injury…at no point did I feel apprehensive which really surprised me and I was able to simply sink further and further into relaxation. I would highly recommend anyone to have a treatment…it has enabled me to truly relax…the real reason I came away on holiday…incredible experience!

Leonardo cypria maris is an amazing place to stay. I myself have connections to the island and have many very happy memories of Cyprus. My wife and I first stopped at the Leonardo plaza cypria maris 2 years ago and loved everything about the place! Staff here are amazingly kind helpful and friendly, they put up with all sorts of travelers from incredibly happy to darn right miserable and grumpy, but everyone is treated so well in this beautiful place you can't help but shine at the end of your stay. Hygiene standards are very high and people work round the clock keeping everything immaculate. At the end of most days people have moved sun loungers all over the place, around the pool and on the beach, the following day everything is immaculate and tidy again. Food here is lovely and again staff go the extra mile to make your meal times special. I almost forgot to say, the beds here are like no other. Everyone loves their own bed at home, well don't worry as this will be as good as the one you have at home. This is my wife and my second stay here and we will be coming back every year for the foreseeable future.

The hotel is only a 20 minute journey from the airport and first drop off. You can see planes landing and taking off from the beach but they do not effect the peace and quiet on the coast sunbeds over looking the sea.It is a 400 room hotel with lifts and ramps for access. Bus stop outside front of hotel or a 40 minute walk to the harbour along the coastal walk. The hotel isnt overly big but has different areas to sit, gardens childrens pool, main pool (floats allowed), quieter pool, slides. indoor bar, cafe bar area, terrace bar, reception area, outdoor snack bar, chinese buffet (lunch time), main restaurant, evening entertainment room. Returned to this hotel for 10 nights. Room was clean and comfortable for two. The air-con worked well and the shower was hot with fresh towels daily. The view over the pool and sea was lovely with a small balcony to watch the sun go down. I found the bed comfortable and slept well. Cleaners came in every day and filled the fridge with fresh bottled water, they forgot once and we asked the cleaner who apologised and gave us one straight away. One thing about this hotel, the slightest problem you have, once you mention it to a member of the staff or management and it is sorted straight away. fresh towels daily. coffee /tea in room. Safe (payable) The main restaurant is set up well with larger tables towards the back of the restaurant and some outside seating. Various stations with salads, pizza, roast meat, theme nights, vegetarian options and Cypriot dishes, fresh bread , puddings, fruit and cheese. If you have any food requests just ask, they will help where they can. Help yourself soft drinks, water, wine and beer, but if you require something else you can bring it from the bar. The waiters and waitresses are friendly, welcoming and fast at clearing the tables. Always managment around in the restaurant. If you have a special occasion mention it, balloons, fizz and cake will be supplied. Chinese at lunch time is lovely, I often took mine into the main restaurant so i could have the best of both worlds. Never used the snack bar but there were sandwiches ( i prefer a toastie) burgers, fish fingers, bolognaise, salad pots and ice-cream and in the afternoon waffles with sauces!! The outside bar is manned from 10am until 6ish with friendly staff serving, beer, soft drinks, cocktails and spirits. Coffee , soft drinks, beer and water machines in the snack bar for help yourself. Staff are always clearing tables and keeping the area clean and tidy. The coffee bar area bar was not manned but waiters/waitresses served the area which was quieter than the main bar area of an evening. The main bar is relaxing with comfy furniture and a juke box with staff circling to take orders at your table. Local beer in bottles or on draught, local spirits and cocktail menu with special cocktails given out from the bar staff. The outside terrace is waiter/ waitress service as well and has a good atmosphere live singers/music on the terrac

A recent trip to the Ledra hotel was one of the best experiences I have had. Right from my arrival, the reception staff made me feel warm and secure. They operated at a high standard and made my check-in so easy. The restaurant staff were equally impressive with warm service and delicious meals suitable for any taste and every meal was interesting as there were different options to choose from. The barstaff also did an amazing job! They made the drinkable works of art for all taste buds and always had something nice to talk about all the time improving the relaxing moving spirit of the hotel. Last but definitely not least, the highlight of my stay was the entertainment team. Those people are amazing. They made outstanding evenings and activities that were tempting and very active. I was absolutely stunned by their energy during the shows and there were so many options on how to mingle with other guests. I enjoyed a lot of the events and I cannot wait when I will visit you again and have even more fun!

Last day today. It’s been fantastic. The whole staff have been friendly, polite and courteous and that makes a big difference. The hotel is big but not massive, so there never seemed to be a rush for food at meal times or sun loungers in a morning, life lived at a much slower pace whilst here and we were able to fully switch off and relax. The hotel inside was clean and well kept, the room for us, was perfectly adequate and clean and remained so throughout our stay, but the look is a tad dated if you want to split hairs. Outside is beautiful, 3 lovely pools of a decent size, sun loungers well spaced out, dotted around the pool area and extensive gardens overlooking the sea, leading to a public path that you can easily access and walk down as far as you like. We made it in to paphos harbour (about 2.5k) but this is better done in the evening when it’s not as hot. The food some of the best we’ve had abroad and it punches above its 4 star hotel rating for us and we have stayed at higher rated hotels which were not as good. Breakfast has everything you could want from cereals to full breakfast, pastries to fruit, yoghurts to omelettes. The guy on the egg station was the happiest man Ive seen cooking eggs for that long, ever. I watched him cook fried eggs in particular and it was clear it mattered to him that it look appetising before he served. Lunch we had at one of the cafes outside under the olive trees. Again choice was large and everything we had was cooked fresh and was lovely. Dinner was much the same. Lots of choice, between 2 and 4 cooked meats, veg, different kinds of potatoes, pastas, and some other dishes to suit all tastes. The cheese selection was the largest I’ve seen too and as a cheese lover o was very happy with it. The weather was glorious every day. The type where you open your curtains at the start and go ‘wow it’s already beautiful and sunny’ and it stayed like that all day until the sun went down. There really was nothing we didn’t like about this place and will definitely return. Finally a special mention for Andreas, the assistant hotel manager, who can be seen gliding through the hotel inside and out and who came to speak to us by the pool bar for a few minutes. He was so polite so friendly and it’s not often I have seen that with guests and I thought it worth a mention. On our last night we dined in one of the special restaurants (which was excellent) and he happened to come in again and we spent a further 15 or 20 mins chatting about all sorts of things. A true gentleman and we wish him well. No surprise that we have decided we will return again next year. Keep up the hard work everyone it is worth it and appreciated.

This is the most amazing hotel for children we have ever been to. We travel a lot and nothing will beat the children’s entertainment. From 10 in the mornings til 6 at night. So much to do my twins enjoyed everything. So many to list they are nearly 12 and were never bored. What an entertainment team Chris and Gemma definitely deserve a mention for going above and beyond as do stu and Trevor at the football academy but the whole team went above and further. What a great place. Our first time in Cyprus and we will definitely return for sure. Something for everyone. Yannis in the food hall always welcomed us every time we ate he also deserves this mention as I don’t think he ever went home to his family to make our stay the best. We really didn’t want to leave this holiday and wish we had done more than a week. They all came to say goodbye to us all. We’re back in rainy England now and wish we could go back for sure. If you’re looking for a fantastic holiday with children you definitely should go here. I’ve recommended to friends already and only been back a few days. Thanks to everyone at the holiday village. This hotel was voted the best last year 8 years in a row and I can see why. Room’s spacious. Food incredible loads all the time. Pools massive. No need to put towels down there is so much space. Only 25 mins from airport we did one trip to the zoo and I’ve never been to a zoo with such relaxed and well cared for animals. The parrot show was brilliant. The elephants you can go in and feed them ( we didn’t as time ran out on us ) it is £50 euros but the experience would have been great. You need to take cash for the zoo we ate there and it was reasonably priced. Lots of walking. We didn’t get to see it all as the coach trip was only 3 half hours. You need probably another couple of hours if you want to see it all. Very hot the day we went so we were quite happy with the time we had we’ve laughed so much. Are too much. And drank too much but had a ball. I don’t normally do reviews but felt definitely had to give this holiday a big shout out. A lot of holidays we done and paid less but this will take some beating for better times. Looking for next year to book already. Thanks to all at the holiday village for the amazing memories made for our family.
