Hello,
I am hopefully going to be booking the Faros Hotel, in Ayai Napa for 2 weeks from 2nd October. I was looking for somewhere that had everything, but still reasonably priced (not that im greedy or anything!). That is, a good location in terms of accessibility to night life (but not in your face), a nice pool, close to a nice beach, sea view.
Having searched the reviews most have been very positive of the hotel so im confident in that respects. I am just wandering about the beach by the harbour which is a 2 minute walk away. Can anyone tell me if it's a sandy beach and clean. Im assuming it wont be as nice as the Nissi beach but prefer the more central location. Ive also emailed the hotel asking whether the swimming pool is heated - but if anyone can answer here then great. Also, if anyone knows the hotel is a sea view essential?
As an aside i decided on Ayai Napa rather than Protaras as i thought the latter would be too quiet in October. Ive never been to Cyprus so these forums have been essential reading although when i get there ill probably have called it all wrong
Many thanks
As for location choice........it depends what you want really, Napa will most certainly be busier with a good mix of people.....whereas Protaras is more family orientated (although they kids should all be back at school ) I know Protaras generally is quieter in the late months of the season.
I'm off to Napa next Thursday for 2 weeks....so we just overlap.....I can't wait
One other point i forgot to ask was that if anyone knows the Faros Hotel i have a choice of a 'twin with limited sea view' or can upgrade for a small amount to 'TWIN5' that can sleep up to 5 so is probably bigger (or maybe just has more beds in it!). However there is no mention of a sea view for the TWIN5 even though the official hotel website says all rooms have a partial sea view. Looking at a few of the pictures it looks very unlikely that the balconies out the back can see the sea but maybe not. That will be my last pedantic question before i finally go ahead and book the thing
Cheers
The way the Faros hotel is situated to the sea means most rooms have a restricted view anyway
Also I can almost gurantee that the room will be slightly bigger but there'll be an extra bed in there so you gain nothing unless you want the room to sleep 5
Most importantly once you land in Napa you will spend very little time in the room........trust me
Hope that helps and saves you some all important "beer" money
Does anyone know if this hotel has a website - am having difficulty finding one. Thanks

Looks like a really nice hotel, in a good position too
This hotel is right near the harbour and far enough away from the square not to be disturbed.It is a very nice hotel.
That was quick! Thanks for your help.
Our 14 year old daughter will be with us, we have booked a hotel room rather than a garden suite and with three of us in the one room, will there be much space, are the beds very close together?
Is there a fridge in the room or can you hire one?
All the hotel facilities ie. fitness centre, billiards, sauna and tennis, is there any charge for the use of any of these?
Finally, is it possible to do a one day trip to the northern Greek part of Cyprus if you hire a car?
Thank you.
Hi Shannon............see the webiste I think it will answer most of your Qs
Thank you for taking the time to reply, but it didn't really answer any of my questions.
From past memory, there isn't a charge for the items you mention it's all included.....I recall their was a small charge for saunas though. As to the room size I can't help as we stayed in a garden suite......very large and very spacious. Our fridge was included in the price but I think there's a small weekly charge for a fridge in the standard rooms....as is the norm in Ayia Napa hotels/apartments these days
With regard to car hire........I'm not certain but I was under the impression the hire co. wont let you take a car over the border to the North....unless that's changed. Maybe check the Northern Cyprus posts or the car hire posts both at the top of the Cyprus forum page.
Thank you very much, appreciate the information.
Does anyone have any info about this please - understand somethings being built very near by?
Can get a good deal in a garden villa and wondered if there was any likely effect?
Thankyou
They have knocked down a building to start re-building further up the road just past the Eman Bus Comapany offices, I think this is what you've probably heard about, but it's too far from you at the Faros to affect you.
