Chrysomare Beach Hotel And Resort

Set in Ayia Napa, on Cyprus’ southern coast, the 5 star Chrysomare Beach Hotel overlooks a golden beach. Coastal footpaths provide a scenic way of reaching a further four sandy stretches. The resort boasts 54,000m2 of landscaped gardens, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a tennis court. Parents can have some ‘me time’ while the children are away at the kids club. The little ones get to benefit from a separate shallow pool, water slides and a play area.

Customers booking half board can switch an included dinner for lunch instead, allowing the flexibility of eating out one night, without worrying about paying twice for dinner. As well as a buffet restaurant, open for all meals and snacks, there is a selection of five a la carte eateries. These offer a variety of local and international cuisine, as well as pizzas and burgers. Five bars allow you to relax with a refreshing beverage at any time between 10am and 1am. Options are available poolside, on the beach and in the lobby.

Superior air-conditioned rooms are a generous 33m2 and boast a balcony, a satellite LCD TV, WiFi, a hairdryer, a safe box, a mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, a shaving point and an international electricity outlet. The larger family option can accommodate up to two children via either single or bunk beds. If you upgrade to a suite you will have your own Jacuzzi bathtub to relax in.

Thanks to the handy bus stop it’s easy to get to Waterworld Ayia Napa, either with or without a car. Here children will love the 18 exciting rides and attractions all set outside under the Mediterranean sun. For thrill-seekers who prefer to stay dry there’s Parko Paliatso Luna Park, boasting the highest ejection seat ride in Europe.

If you have an interest in history you shouldn’t miss the monastery dating from the 1500s. If you visit in the autumn you may have the opportunity to visit the medieval festival, held within the stone buildings. Lovers of nature shouldn’t miss the Thalassa Museum, with its aim being to present the impact and the significance of the sea. Currently the only one of its kind in the Mediterranean region. Of course Ayia Napa is famous for its vibrant nightlife and there’s a wide variety of bars, clubs and restaurants nearby.
