We have just returned from 11 days at the Ajax which is a fantastic hotel - but set in a residential area, a long long way from the beach, shops and restuarants.
The food appears to be fantastic for the first two nights and then after no change it gets very boring- no junk food here. Meat,Fish Veggies and spuds.
The hotel has a full gym and tiny indoor pool. The outside pool and area is fantastic ,loads of beds and a lovely pool and whirlpool. The weather we have experienced was very hot and the occassional breeze is very welcome. Dont expect any entertainment here - the only exception being Jazz Night on Thursdays. Despite the flaws it is a lovely place to stay and attracts the locals with money at the weekends who use the pool or belong to the gym. The staff are all very nice and accommodating. Very clean hotel.

The Ajax is a business & conference centre hotel. During our stay there were many buisness meetings taking place, which we often found embarrassing having to walk through meetings in our swimwear & the children running about.

We found the hotel was too far from the beach, although the Olympic rep told us it was close to the beach. I would not recommend this hotel's location for people with small children or anyone with disability. The beach was a good 15 minute walk away and the town even further. The Ajax did have a complimentary taxi service, but the only problem was it didn't always come back and pick you up, and from the Old Town its about an hour's walk back, which is no joke in the Cyprus heat with young children.

The food at the Ajax was nice, but was not suitable for young children and did get a bit boring as it was the same menu for 14 nights with a slight variation every other night. The drinks were very expensive and we found it was better to have the free water with the meals and buy drinks from the local shops. The food from the poolside cafe was also very expensive.

The pool was nice, but at weekends all the locals came and used the pool, so it did get very busy. The first week in September we found that the hotel seemed to be packing everything away. The sunbeds were put away with only a few left out, which we found very odd, especially as there were quite a few holidaymakers at the hotel. I wouldn't recommend this hotel for people with young children as there just isn't enough for them to do and its just to far to walk anyway. You definately need to hire a car if you stay at the Ajax.

The rooms need updating as they are old and found that they smelt of stale smoke. We often smelt cigarrette smoke coming through the air conditioning which was not plesant being non-smokers. The room did have tea and coffee making facilites and a hairdryer. The sheets were changed every couple of days but the towels were changed daily.

The staff were always friendly and polite.

I would not visit this hotel again, but would definately go to Cyprus again.
