We are finding that more and more wedding parties are using apartments for flexibility, as they find hotels can be very formal and with children the extra freedom of apartments can be a help. Also many attendees at weddings do not have the budgets to allow them to stay in large hotels for a week or so. Adjacent apartments allow everyone to open or close their doors as they wish and have theri own holiday as much as they want.

Hi Everyone
I am getting married in Coral Bay this year, has anyone been? I am looking for a nice restaurant to have a meal and drinks afterwards, we have chosen 2 but cant decide...The first one is called Trattoria La Vigna and the other is Called Andrias? Any advise? We are keeping it quite informal as having a reception for 250 people when we return. Please help. Cheers Shell

Hi,

im after some help, we are looking to get married in Cyprus in 2009, hoping to arrive is Cyprus around 26th April 2009 and marry around the 1st of May. I have heard the 1st of May is a public holiday so we mat have to have the ceremony a day either side of this.

We have not been to Syprus before and were undecided on a resort, I think we have pretty much narrowed it down to Protaras as the resort for us as we like the looks of the beaches on that side of the island but didnt want anywhere as lively as Ayia Napa.

I have seen lots of people marry at the Capo Bay hotel which looks nice, but I have heard from the hotel renovations are going on this year and next which means they are likely not to open for the summer season until May time. So I wanted to see what other good centrally located hotels there are.

One I have seen is called something like the sunrise hotel, the hotel itself looks nice, but some of the pictures i have seen of the standard rooms look a bit poorly decorated for what it says to be a 4 star hotel. Looks like it may need a re-furb. Also another one we have considered I think is called the constantinos, but again not sure what this is like.

Can anyone offer any help on the best hotels in protaras?

Also we have been thinking of just having the reception held at the hotel we plan on staying at, but we would ideally like some sort of outdoor gazebo type reception and didnt know if there are any other good venues to consider?

Also wanted to see if anyone has used aphrodite wedding services to co-ordinate there wedding, we are thinking of using these.

looking forward to some good advice!

many thanks

Hi Wedding 2009
We are getting married this year in Cyrpus, but have decided on the other side of the island. We are getting married and staying in the Coral Beach Resort, Coral Bay its about 10 mins in a taxi from Paphos. I am advised that its a gorgeous spot so fingers crossed. A friend of mine married this year though in Nissi Bay which is near Ayai Napa, her Hotel was the Olmpic Lagoon, I have seen the photos and they were gorgeous. Good luck with your plans.
Cheers

Hi shazza64

Can I ask that you don't use phone style text please such as u instead of you and ur instead of your? Some of our visually impaired members use screen readers that do not recognise this type of text.

Thanks

Hi Wedding 2009,

Capo Bay hotel will be finished by the beginning of April 2008, ready for the busy summer season. Sunrise Beach Hotel is a lovely hotel, they too have just had some refurbishments.

Constantinos the Great and the Vrissanna Hotel also do wedding ceremonies - these hotels are a few doors down from Capo Bay and are on the Protaras strip/beach.

Websites:
http://www.capobay.com.cy
http://www.vrissiana.com
http://www.sunrise.com.cy
http://www.tsokkos.com (click on hotels, protaras to find Constantinos the Great)

Ayia Napa isnt the lively resort it once was and boasts some lovely hotels for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Here are just a few:

http://www.aeneas.com.cy
http://www.adams.com.cy
http://www.greciansands.com
http://www.napamermaidhotel.com.cy
http://www.nissi-beach.com
http://www.kanikahotels.com (for Olympic Lagoon)

I hope these help with decision making, please give me a shout if you need anything.
