Nicosia Holidays

Beautiful surroundings but in the middle of nowhere

Best hotel we have stayed in

We had a wonderful time at the Asimina, this has got to be one of the nicest 5-start hotels I have stayed, and I have stayed in my fair share. This hotel is well run with spacious rooms. The views are stunning as the hotel sits on a lovely beach facing the sea and is exceptionally clean. hard-working waiters and staff in the dining room. An excellent selection at breakfast and if you choose evening buffet an overwhelming variety of choice and excellent quality food. Looking forward to getting back to suite118 one fine day, which had its own private pool surrounded by flowers, shrubs and very private. We had a well-appointed spacious room with a large bathroom. But what makes this hotel stand out is the staff, who were all polite and extremely professional. A big thank you to the lovely ladies on the reception. The extremely helpful and kind Anna-Maria, together with the lovely Miruna, Laurentiu and Valentina. Thank you all for the bottle of champagne, we very much appreciated it. Lastly a special thank you to the lovely and cheerful Simona, what an asset she is, always smiling and making us laugh whilst working hard cleaning our rooms, what a sweet lady.

The food was delicious and the choice was extensive. The staff were efficient, professional and friendly. A special mention to Rositea who is the lovely waitress in the buffet area and looked after us very well. We enjoyed most of the entertainment and our Grandchildren loved the kids club. We stayed in a two room suite overlooking the main pool area. First impressions were of a stylish and spacious accommodation. The beds were very comfortable, but there was no comfortable additional seating. The twin bedroom had literally two beds, a small table and TV, no drawers or chairs or anywhere to put things. There were 3 wardrobes (containing only 12 coat hangers in total) and 2 small drawers in the rest of the suite. On the surface everything looked clean but there were dust balls in the corners and dusty sock and slippers from past occupants under the bed. We were there during the Easter school holidays which was very busy and noisy. Considering the number of rooms the public spaces are quite compact, the sun loungers around the pool are very close together. The quiet pool and adult pool areas are small. Compared to the hotels either side which have nice open garden areas and a chance to sit with a view of the sea and be quiet, the Atlantica Mare hotel is not somewhere to go if you like a peaceful holiday. We wouldn't go again on our own, but our Grandchildren loved it.

Wonderful hotel. Travelled the island and this was a lovely destination to end our trip. Rooms were fresh and had everything you needed. Lots of choice with pools amd good. Staff were all very helpful. Would recommend for couples and families.
