Anassa

First off the hotel is beautifully situated and looks absolutely stunning. Lovely architecture with a picturesque backdrop. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel but it fell a little short of our expectations. The heated pools were absolutely lovely and never felt over crowded. A nice volume of music played in the background and there were always staff around to order drinks/food from. Not sure what was going on with the ordering system though as I don’t think I once received the correct bill. Watersports were plentiful if you wanted to ski, banana boat ride etc. which we did so. Our main gripe was the out dated rooms which lacked any warmth. A great big tv thrown on a side board in an awkward position. The beds looked at though they just had the duvet inner laid across them - no effort to make them look even the slightest bit appealing. These are the kind of rooms my late grandparents liked especially the bathroom which had a toilet with a phone on the wall and a bidet, just to highlight how outdated they are. Honestly the rooms were so disappointing and not in the slightest bit 5 star. We only ate at Helios restaurant and insisted on eating outside despite the weather as the interior is absolutely awful! Lacking any warmth or atmosphere despite a lady playing REM & Coldplay tunes on the Harp…again my late grandparents would have been at home here. Maybe I’ll feel more comfortable at this hotel when I’m post 60, but as a late 40’s couple with an 11 year old it lacked soul. All of the staff we interacted with were extremely pleasant. On requesting a late check out we were given a very definite “no” which was frustrating given the hotel seemed half empty, but understand another “conference” was checking in.

We've been to the Anassa close to 10x as a family and just love it. Think boutique luxury Mediterranean resort with great attention to detail, plenty of things to do for the whole family, great food, lovely secluded beach, cute ports & mountain villages nearby and great service.

Prodigieux Week-end dans Un bout de paradis, heureusement pas oublié.

Beautiful, but poor mattresses. Excellent Wifi The property is gorgeous but in need of a major FF&E refresh - the mattresses are so old you can see the dents from the thousands of nights previous travellers have spent. The mattress quality needs to be excellent at a property at this level. Wifi is excellent, shower pressure excellent.

Très agréable week-end Excellent dépaysement dans un grand luxe, dommage que le temps n’était pas beau.

Amazing property, but room for improvement. Lovely hotel, great rooms, amazing views, wonderful staff. So beautiful, everywhere you look you can take a photo. You won't find a nicer property in Cyprus. A little disappointed with the food at basilico restaurant, especially given the prices. (Overcooked sushi rice, chewy crispy duck and a very big bill). Air conditioning not turned on in the rooms during May. Would have been happy to leave windows open but other guests with private pool villa were drunk and being noisy until 2am, despite several complaints from myself and other guests, so I did not get a good sleep. My complaint was not taken seriously by the staff on checkout. Looked forward to going there for so long, but in no rush to go back. They say to never meet your heroes.
