Location
There are bars and restaurants in walking distance although the main nightlife is a fifteen min walk or 5min taxi ride into protaras centre which caters for everybody including children.
The staff at the Marlita are fantastic, reception staff, bar staff, cleaners and holiday reps were great and couldn't do enough for you. Great entertainment for children and it also has a play area and arcade to keep children entertained.
I would definitely visit the Marlita again.

The hotel was very clean, the apartment was large for a family of 4. The staff were very friendly, whilst it was self catering, we took a meal deal out in the hotel on arrival for 3 breakfasts and 3 main meals, again great value for the odd night we decided not to venture out.
The pools were excellent and kept very clean. The sea was literally a stones throw away, very clean and fantastic fish whilst snorkling just a few feet from the gently sloping sandy bottom.
The entertainment was first class although a bit tongue in cheek and definately more for the family audience rather than adults. There was bingo every night but not for long and again a laugh was had by all.
All in all we would definately re-visit the same hotel again. Car hire through the hotel rep was a little dear compared to what you could get locally, however you did get a new car and I guess peace of mind.
Troodos mountains are a must as is a visit to the Capital Nicosia, here you can get all your bargains, as it is cheaper than the resort.

Hotel is excellent, so is the food and so are the staff, nothing is too much trouble, but then that is the same wherever you go. These people know how to make you feel welcome, and look like they mean it !
Special thank you to restuarant manager Markos, 'the east end Cypriot' who is a dead ringer for a young Alf Garnett and even supports West Ham. Made my lads day by finding him a birthday cake from one of his local contacts. Cheers Mate
Hotel entertainment team were brilliant, Chris, Gemma, Collette, et al always had something on the go if you wanted to be involved, and had everyone in stitches from kids to adults. The quizzes, the Bingo and the club dance take on a different meaning when you are in 30+ degreee heat,and have a glass of KEO in your hand !. Would definately come back.
Having chosen Half board, we would offer one suggestion to anyone considering going out there. There are so many great places to eat at reasonable prices, consider self catering and experience the different bars and restuarants that are on your door step.
PS dont miss the Fools and Horses bar opposite Georges, or the Barley Mow where the landlord cum DJ fancies himself as a quiz master. Gives a cocktail away if you get the right answer, must be costing him loads !!.

The hotel staff were plentyfull and efficient. We stayed in a large airy clean self catering accomadation on the ground floor with a large patio area accessable from the bedroom and living rooms.
A TV was present but never used as there is more than enough to occupy a four year old and two adults all day and night.
The food available from the main restaurant and snack bars was excellent value for money and very good quality. A Main meal shared between two adults for a light lunch costs around

Arrived in the evening and the restaurant was where we headed 1st. Throughout the weeks holiday, the meals were first class,variety for all tastes,inc vegetarians.
The cleaners did a great job of keeping all areas clean. The hotel is on the beach! Plenty of sun loungers,everything within easy reach,bar,toilets,etc.
The staff would help when ever they were asked. I even asked the barman to mix me a cocktail that wasnt on the list, no problem!
We have no children & wanted a relaxing time,we didnt always get this due to the entertainment team. There were too many of them & they had a megaphone which they did not need. This was the only downside, but we would go again,with earplugs!

The kids club offers a welcome respite for parents and gives the kids something to look foward to away from the swimming. The sandy play area also offers an alternative, but be aware it can be a sun trap in the middle of the day. The beach is a little small but the sea is inviting to all ages (as someone said earlier wearing flip flops makes paddling more comfortable), and is always calm and quite shallow for a good distance.
Although we go self catering (like trying different resteraunts at night) the buffet breakfast,CYP3.50 for adults and free for younger children, is excellent value.
The complex is very clean indeed and the maid service is regular and thorough.
The one draw back for people with teenage children is that the hotel is a good way from the main area of Protaras and they may find themselves a little limited, but for families with children 12 and undwer this place is PERFECT.

We were right on a clean beach, massive pool and had the best entertainers ever. Dan Phil and Julie made our stay at the Marlita brill. Dan and Phil are brilliant beat boxers and rappers and Julie enjoys telling you about her nannying job. (They all are excellent with children!)
The bar staff were brilliant and couldn

My wife and I traveled on our own and had a hire car for the duration of our stay of 7 nights.
We were self catering and ate out most of the time, but had the occasional snack from the poolside snackbar where we found the service and food from Samantha and the gang to be excellent. I cannot praise highly enough the way the staff worked to keep the apartments and the surrounding areas in tip top condition.
The hotel is located at the end of a cul de sac by a small sandy cove. This is an ideal location for families with young children as there is no traffic to worry aboout.
Watersports are available jet skis etc on the beach. There are supermarkets, bars, restaurants, all nearby. It is a short walk 5 mins into the resort of Pernera, with more bars etc etc. You can walk to the main beach in Protaras along the rocky path by the sea shore about a 15 min walk this is not advised after dark so a short bus or taxi ride will get you there.
We found all the hotel staff very friendly and hardworking.
The hotel has a large swimming poll and smaller one for the little ones. The larger pool has easy access with steps one end and a small slope the other. There are plenty of sunbeds around the pool and on the surrounding grassy areas.
The airtours reps do a really good job of entertaining the kids although a bit repetative. There was limited adult entertainment and the indoor bar area where the large screen TV was had no aircon.
We had a great holiday the Marlita covered all our needs, it was kept spotlessly clean.
We hired a car to travel around Cyprus which we did but the times spent at the hotel were just as pleasurable.

The sunbeds go from the complex right to the sea front edge which is nice. However the beach at this section is what can be described as a small cove like section with pebbly sand. If you prefer bathing at the beach, would have to really take a walk (which we did) or a taxi/bus to the main town of Protaras which has a glorious beach.
I would definitely visit Cyprus again, and would most certainly book up to stay at the Marlita Beach Hotel again and have even recommended it to other friends and family. 10/10
