Guest Reviews

• M5130IBlynneh (10/5): Amazing value for money - Amazing staff, comfortable accommodation and total value for money. Been here many times and look forward to our holiday here. It's so close to everything in Polis.
• miffa258 (10/5): Bourgonvillas Hotel Appartments - Absolutely fabulous, stavros and Tui have made our stay at the Bourgonvillas so wonderful. The gardens are really well maintained, only a short walk from polis square. We are still here for another week and have already booked for October 26 ,food fantastic rooms cleaned every day, can't rate this place enough
• pumawitch (10/5): Hidden gem - Just returned from week break the most beautiful gem 5 mins from the square with several taverns an bars near supermarket polis beach ABIT walk for me so didn't get there latsi beach was lovely went harbour for blue lagoon trip used local taxi to both had drinks and food at apartments which are reasonably priced Hugo was favourite cocktail Stavros Stella and all other staff make the holiday apartments little dated had everything you needed we loved them 2 balcanies lovely flowers all around cleaned every other day new bedding an towels when needed pool was lovely no sunbeds wars beds all day we went last week in August me and my sister had a calming relaxed week would go back tomm finally met some lovely people while there
• rosiec1 (10/5): 5☆hospitality in a beautiful area. - This was our first visit here. We were welcomed by Stavros and Tui with fresh orange juice and homemade cake. 5☆ treatment by Stavros and team. Stavros is a lovely gent with an excellent sense of humour. Both him and staff work tirelessly to ensure guests are happy. Polis town is a short walk away. Restaurants are within 5 minute walk of the apartments. We didn't manage to eat in the hotel but other guests complemented on how nice the food was. 15 minute slow walk to the beach, go out the bottom gate then through the old campsite. We hired a car to explore. Exploring is recommended as so much to see. There's a bus station in the town next to the information bureau, buses go local and into Paphos. If you just want to relax you can do so around the pool or in the grassy areas. We had an upstairs/downstairs room we definitely needed the air-conditioning however this is only in the bedroom. There's plenty of balcony space plus a patio. I did manage to cook a few things on the small cooker. Keep all foodstuff in the fridge or wrapped up well in zip bags or containers, so not to encourage ants or other beasties. It was good to have a drinking water tap. Store some in bottles in the fridge. I do agree with other's that the rooms could be doing with some TLC. Look past that and enjoy the hospitality and the beauty of the area. I do believe some of the studios have been upgraded. Perhaps we'll get one of them next time. I recommend the Bougainvillea.
• angieliz74 (10/5): Excellent - What a beautiful hotel , Stavros and his staff go above and beyond. The bar is lovely with our door searing & fragrant flowers. Will definitely be returning
• Q8979XJdavids (8/5): Small but beautifully formed apartment complex - Lovely week at this low key but attentive small apartment complex. Stavros and the team are very welcoming and friendly. I was out exploring most days but breakfast was always good and there is a pool available if you wish to stay on site for the day. The beach is a 15 minute walk away. Polis central square is just a couple of minutes walk providing a number of small shops and traditional tavernas.
• brenm555 (10/5): RELAXED AND FEELING REJUVENATED. - What a break we had . Two weeks of relaxing in a place so chilled . Just what we wanted. The host Stavros and his team made sure we were well looked after. Polis Square 5 minute walk for dining.Beach 5 mins away. Definitely will return , the accommodation is basic but its very clean. Polis and Latchi amazing places .
• carolinehT453SM (10/5): Relaxation - Just back from a brilliant, relaxing holiday. We stayed in a suite, one large room, beautifully clean and excellent housekeeping. If you want to relax and have some you time this is the place to go... From the breakfast, cooked to order The sunbeds around the pool Excellent drinks and snacks by the pool Good old fashioned service with a smile Thank you Stavrous, Stella and Tui
• stephaniewS8352XZ (8/5): A lovely, peaceful break away. - We had a lovely stay at the Bougainvillea apartments, the service especially was excellent throughout our stay. Stavros was around everyday if you needed anything and stayed up late to greet all guests. We loved the pool area and spent most days there, no sunbed wars here! Could get a bed at any time of day you needed and the pool was clean/perfect temperature. Something we enjoyed more than anticipated was the food at the hotel. The breakfast included was great and we tried out all of the options available to us. But also, all the other food was exceptional, the club sandwiches and chips which we shared for lunch most days was exceptional. The staff work hard, they cannot do enough for you and I imagine thats why people come back every year! We wish we had booked for longer instead of the 4 nights. The aircon in the bedroom was excellent in the night (10 euros per night). We have few negatives of the entire holiday - mainly the warmth of the apartment, when we arrived it was boiling so we struggled to sleep. You cannot leave the aircon on during the day as the key operates the electricity, equally meaning you can’t charge anything such as mobile phones unless you are in the room. Also, WIFI is only available in the shared areas, not the rooms. Despite these minor issues we would definitely stay again, Polis is so quiet and relaxing as a place and the Bougainvillea apartments match the calm.
• cotswoldrhino (8/5): Friendly family run hotel in a quiet town in Cyprus - A lovely family run hotel with self catering apartments. Whilst some of the decor may appear in need of refreshing, the service and amenities are great. Sit by the pool, or in the garden, all day, and then drinks and meals available at the bar. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and there is plenty of room for all the guests.
• Winsomelosesome2014 (10/5): Friendly, basic, clean accommodation - would recommend - Basic, clean accommodation, exactly what we needed. The one bed apartment is big - one room downstairs (kitchen & lounge), bathroom & bedroom upstairs. Air conditioning available for extra charge in the bedroom only (but well worth it in the summer heat). 2 balconies plus nice little terrace at the front too. Plenty of covered parking. Nice bar and food - particularly when they can pick the ingredients fresh from the garden when you order! Stavros and the other staff are all welcoming, friendly and helpful. A lot of the people staying there have been regulars for years (says a lot). Short walk to bars/restaurants/supermarket.
• Chubster106 (10/5): Lovely stay. - Just back from a 2 week stay at the Bougainvillea & had a great time. A lovely place in an ideal position for the beach & the town facilities. We stayed in a 2nd floor studio &, despite it not being a renovated one, it was spotless & everything worked as it should. The studio had basic cooking facilities, toaster, fridge with freezer compartment, microwave & hairdryer. Also had a double bed, ceiling fan plus aircon for an additional €10 per day. Decent over bath shower with great water pressure & loads of hot water at any time of the day. The pool area is smallish & there are plenty of sunbeds with a few more in the garden area. The pool bar wasn’t open whilst we were there but the lobby bar is open a few strides away. The food served at the hotel was very good indeed & fairly priced - I recommend the home made moussaka. Stavros, Stella & Sui provide friendly service & the bar prices are virtually the same as anywhere else in Polis. You can also put your food & drink on your room & pay at the end of your stay if preferred. Most of the guests are ‘regulars’ who have been holidaying here multiple times which says volumes. A very friendly place indeed. Thankyou Stavros & your team for looking after us so well & best wishes.
• Davtinbl (10/5): Fab stay - Fabulous stay What a lovely welcome from Stavros and Tui despite it being 3.30 am ! Fresh orange juice and cake were lovely . Stavros showed us your apartment It was lovely over 2 floors , clean and spacious The apartments are so lovely , so peaceful and pretty All the staff were amazing , friendly and so helpful and cheerfull . Always checking you were happy . The food was lovely , especially with the Ingredients picked fresh from the amazing allotments on site . Thanks Tui She works so hard . Her cakes are amazing . The area is beautiful and so pretty and relaxed. Little walk to the town square , where there was such a chilled traditional Cypriot feel . Plenty of choice of eating places and several supermarkets . Larger supermarket a bit further out , but still walkable . The pool area was clean and everyone was so friendly . The beach was a little further to walk and was very hot , so we stayed mainly around the pool or the lovely gardens or sat on our balcony enjoying the peace . We can’t rate these apartments enough . Area is pretty and it worth getting a car to explore more . Such a lovely welcome and departure with hugs from staff . We loved Cyprus and hope to return next year . Thank you Stavros ., Stella and Tui and the cleaning ladies .
• Fairfieldjan (10/5): Spotless hotel apartments - Just back from this beautiful resort. First time we have stayed here, we use to pop in for evening drinks and watch the sunset. Have been trying to book as its always full, now I know why. Firstly the apartments are kept spotless, everything you need for self catering (although we hardly did, as the restaurants around are superb) The pool area is fab, sunloungers are the best we have lay on. The breakfast and meals are first class. Plenty to choose from the bar, mine of course pink G & T. The staff are all so helpful, accommodating, and lots of smiles especially Sui 😊 and Stella But of course I've left the best till last, the owner Stavros, what a special man he is, always there to help you with anything you need, what a gentleman ❤️ missing him already.
• B8086ESbrianh (8/5): Great stay, great November weather - We’ve just returned from Polis and the bougainvillea hotel apartments, Stavros and his team made us feel so welcome. On arrival day we were presented with juice and a home cooked cake, everyone was so friendly. Now, I need to validate my four stars or rather the lack of a fifth, this was purely down to the apartment was in need of an update. There was everything you’d need for your stay and the space was huge as the apartments on two floors. As it was November the weather was better than expected, we had a storm but it cleared up by noon with nice sunny weather for the evening. Polis is a small town, with say a dozen restaurants and a handful of bars open at this time of year and 3k (50mins) walk away along the coastal path is the harbour town of latchi where we spent our days. It’s about the same size but very pretty. I should say the walk to latchi was through the old camp site which is now derelict which was a shame but it’s only a small part of the walk, and the rest of the area is lovely. I believe work is soon to commence on the camp site. We picked Polis because we hoped it would be less commercial than paphos and we got what we wanted. It was such a relaxing 7 days, the food was great everywhere we went and very reasonable. We very much enjoyed our time.
• Blossom1000 (10/5): Lovely quiet place :) - If you want peace and quiet then this is your place! Great location to the Centre, close to the beach, bus station in polis centre that can take you to most places and walkable to Latchi, lovely during the day! A few cats on the resort and a loveable ginger one. Please feed them :) We had a refurbed studio and loads of space and lovely balcony. Polis it self gives you more than you need with plenty of eateries and bars. Lovely little town!
• Daz0 (8/5): All good - Pros Great friendly staff Good location 5 min walk from the square an 15 min to the beach Good breakfast Spacious rooms Clean Cons Rooms a little tired and in need of upgrade Limited room around pool (although there is a nice grassed area that compensates) Summary we met so many people that returned year after year so they are definitely doing it right.
• AnnetteD518 (10/5): Best Holiday - I stayed at the Bougainvillea Hotel in June 24 in a one bedroom apartment with my partner. I have been to Paphos many times but this was my first visit to Polis and first time in Cyprus for my partner. Being a hotel manager myself in the UK, I can be quite critical but I can honestly say this was one of the best holidays I have ever had. The team are so friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was clean and in a great location. Food was lovely, pool area clean and comfortable. Polis is a lovely village with some great restaurants. We walked through to Latchi several times which was good but I am pleased we stayed in Polis. We loved the Bougainvillea so much we booked to return in June 25. We are counting the days until we are back.
• SeaSchnoodle83 (8/5): Lovely place to stay - We had a lovely stay here and Stavros and team were so welcoming and friendly. Stavros made a real effort to chat to everyone, he even got a smile out of our grumpy 14 year old. Tuie behind the bar was also lovely. The food is excellent too. The apartments are basic but had all we needed. The only downside was that the aircon is only on the first floor of the apartments so anyone sleeping downstairs is going to be very hot in the peak of summer. Location wise it's perfect, 5 minutes walk through the old campsite to a lovely quiet beach which you pretty much have to yourself with a very warm sea. (I recommend beach shoes as it's part rocky but still gorgeous). 5 minutes walk into the square which has plenty of bars and restaurants. There is a lovely restaurant just to the left of the apartments too. We got a 15 minute taxi ride to Latchi for a boat trip. It's probably walkable but not in the heat at this time of year. We found Polis more charming and authentic than Latchi, where all restaurants looks like same. Overall we had a lovely time and I recommend this great place!
• Trail04507326223 (10/5): Loved it! - My daughter and I have just had a wonderful 2 week holiday here. This was our first visit to Cyprus. We were welcomed after our long flight and transfer by Stavros with a cold drink and a cake. The apartments are spacious and very clean. We had everything we needed. The apartments are well situated in a quiet semi rural lane. We loved Polis. It has a lovely, chilled atmosphere about it. There are loads of restaurants, we didn't have time to try them all. We counted 6 ice cream parlours, very well used in the summer evenings. There is also an excellent bakery in the newer part of town. There are some gorgeous old honey coloured stone buildings in the town centre too and beautiful churches. We also visited the local archaeological museum which even my daughter found interesting. It is only 2 rooms and doesn't take long. Most days we went to the beach. To Polis Municipal beach, it is about a 30 minute walk. You walk through the old campsite and this takes you to a beach with no amenities. Turn left and there is a path that takes you up to the main beach and right up to Latchi. The sunbeds are thickly padded and well spaced out and 2 beds and an umbrella cost 7 Euros 50. There is a restaurant on the beach and a regularly cleaned modern toilet block. I recommend water shoes as the shoreline is pebbly and it can be a challenge getting in and out the sea. There is a bus station in Polis with an easy to follow timetable for all the buses in the Paphos region. We used the buses quite a lot. They are very reliable. When visiting the beach, we took the bus and walked back. Each bus journey is a standard fare of 2 Euros. We also used the buses to visit Aphrodite's bath, Paphos Zoo, the Tombs of the Kings and Kings St Shopping Mall ( not all on the same day). A day ticket to use unlimited buses is 6 Euros 50. We also went on a very scenic sunset boat trip to the Blue Lagoon, water surprisingly cold but crystal clear. We never go back to the same place twice, but we enjoyed this holiday so much, we have already booked to come back next year.
• andrewrZ1839AB (10/5): A quiet retreat - Just back from a wonderful 2 week break STAVROS and the team go above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are basic but that's all you need, would also recommend trying the food they serve very tasty and they use produce grown in their own garden. This was our first visit but hopefully it won't be our last.
• wandering-owl (10/5): A real surprise of a Gem - This is a little gem, made so by Stavros, in his later years but nothing is to much for him and his team. He speaks great English and the rest of the team are getting better. but still good enough to get by. The apartments are fine, nice and clean, the housekeeping girls come in everyday to clean and check for any problems. The Bedroom is the only room with Aircon and this is available at an extra cost 10€ per day, but worth every Cent. Nice and quiet location, a 5min walk from the centre of Polis, where plenty of restaurants can be found. The beach is around a 15 min walk, going through the now aboundond campsite. Nearby Latchi has plenty of restaurants, a small harbour and boat trips a plenty for those that fancy it or other seafaring adventures. We hired a car via Stavros and at 36€ a day is an absolute bargain, what is a nice touch you can park under the hotel, so no blazing hot car, the roads are good, they drive on the left, so making it easier for us Brits even the traffic lights are the as in the UK. Then just go and explore,you will end up finding places that the Tourist buses will never see. (Wineries', off the beaten track restaurants, monuments, historic sites and so on). You might get lucky and come across the Mouflon, we did. Our first time to Cyprus, it exceeded all off our expectations and the hotel is a great base to explore from. We cant wait to go back.
• aqualungcheshire (8/5): Nice relaxing time - Bougainvillea is a very nice clean place 10 minutes walk from the centre of Polis. The owner Stavros is lovely as are all the staff, Stella who serves breakfast, Eni? the cook and the room girls plus the other girl who works behind the bar but also loves looking after the lovely big veg patch(sorry i cannot remember your names) We stayed in a studio which was a good size but only had a small balcony but was fine, all the upper rooms have a sea view(i would ask for an upper room in the end block(23 onwards). The room was a little bit dated but was very clean(cleaned and bins emptied 6 days a week, clean towels and bedding 2 times). The studio had a kettle, toaster, microwave ,small cooker with two rings and enough pots, pans, plates etc to cook in the place if you wished as some people did when we were there also in the kitchen there is a dedicated drinking water tap which we used all the time and did not have any problems. one tip about the room is the sockets are English 3 pin type but bring a double or treble English adaptor with you as there are not many sockets. There is five or six choices for breakfast(i tried them all and they are very nice) plus toast, coffee, tea, fruit juice but no cereal. When we were there the beach through the camp site did not have any sun beds or toilets or any where to get food or drink as the taverna that is with the camping site is closed because it got into financial trouble and the council closed it down but you can still get to the beach through it. Yes i would stay here again for sure because of the staff and Polis is our type of place not commercialised like Paphos.
• lcthompson1979 (10/5): Beautiful Apartments - What a little gem of a place. Staff are so friendly and can't do enough to help you. Pool and bar area are spotlessly clean and plenty of sunbeds. Apartments are basic, but clean and well equipped, although they could perhaps do with a refresh. Air-conditioning is available but only works on the upper floor, so if you have people using the sofa beds on the ground floor, they might get very warm at the height of summer. About a 2/3 minute walk from the square with a few shops and restaurants. All in all a very peaceful, relaxing place.
• dnjroberson (10/5): Perfect! - Our 4th stay here and we just love it! Usually come in September but thought we'd try a different season. Warm welcome from Stavros. Apartments are surrounded by countryside and there were Orange trees full of fruit. Nice easy 5 minutes walk into Polis and about 10/15 minutes to beach. From there you can walk on coastal path to Latchi which takes about 45 minutes depending on how hot it is or if you stop off for a beer! Had a great 2 weeks and were blessed with superb weather. Have already booked for next April!
• titchybell (10/5): Lovely apartment - Not the newest complex but has everything you need for a self catering holiday. It’s clean & well equipped. Near a few supermarkets, short walk to Polis centre & variety of places to eat or drink. Beach within walking distance (avoid short cut through campsite as it’s mosquito central) Stavros is charming, staff helpful- hasn’t changed since last visit in 2009!
• Q5089BYgeorgec (10/5): Bougainvillea ticks nearly all the boxes for a relaxing holiday. - This is our first visit back to Bougainvillea and the Polis region for a number of years and it didn't disappoint. Stavros and his staff were friendly, efficient and always happy to help. The accommodation is great value, spotlessly clean, comfortable, quiet and superbly located for Central Square and beyond. The one downside is that there is no wi-fi in the rooms (there is in the bar/reception area), but for us that was a very minor inconvenience. In common with so many others, we shall be back hopefully next year!
• 302clairn (10/5): Can’t Wait To Go Back - Stayed at these apartments for the first time from 2nd October until 11th. I never normally write a review but felt I needed to here. From the minute we arrived around 1am, we were greeted by the lovely Stavros, with a glass of juice and homemade cake, we were made to feel welcomed straight away. We were in apartment 2, which was a large apartment on two levels, with a lovely sun trap of a terrace at the front, and two balconies one on the ground and one upstairs. The apartments were typical for Cyprus, basic, clean and had all you needed. It was perfect for us. What makes these apartments are the family who run it, Stavros, Stella, Maria and the girls are just simply the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. So friendly, funny, welcoming and nothing too much trouble. We were first timers here, but everyone else staying here were return visitors of varying yrs, some here for 28th!!! Yr, this tells you all you need to know. Within 24hrs, we were fully relaxed, and felt like part of the family. If you are looking for tradition, calm, tranquility, and a lovely family welcome then this is the place for you. We have already booked for next yr, and cannot wait to see Stavros, Stella and the girls again.❤️❤️❤️❤️
• durdle4 (4/5): Very disappointed! - We stayed here in September and it’s taken me this long to decide what to include in my review. We have been visiting West Cyprus for the past 20 years and sometimes twice per year. We booked this through a tour operator 5 weeks before and were so pleased. We’d had a rough year and we were desperate for a break. We’ve walked past these apartments so often and always thought it looked lovely. Note to self, don’t judge a book by its cover. I have to agree with the reviewer below who stayed in 13. We stayed in 16 and it was grotty, very outdated. The bed was awful, goodness knows how old it was. The floors were filthy, I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom before we could use them. More worrying though is how outdated the smoke alarm and electrical items are. A piece of bread was clearly stuck in the bottom of the toaster and luckily didn’t catch fire but filled the apartment with smoke. We had a lovely welcome from Stavros when we first arrived but on the day of departure the staff weren’t interested, maybe because we only used the apartment as a base and didn’t spend any money in the bar. To be honest we didn’t want to stay in the apartment any longer than we needed. I’m confused about the high rating reviews, I don’t care how basic the accommodation is as long as it’s clean and comfortable. We are going back to Polis next year but to alternative accommodation. It’s so important in these times to have everywhere hygienic, and this complex sadly isn’t.
• allihunterkyriacou (8/5): And relax - We're not long back from our fab holiday here. We were here for the first time, this time last year, and booked this holiday during our stay, because we loved it so much! Bougainvillea, Stavros and all the warm and lovely staff, make you feel like you're a part of a special place. A place which has been many people's special place for many many years❤️❤️❤️ Meeting lots of people who were there last October was a testament to why many people keep coming back. The hotel is small, which we like. The 3 star rating tells you what to expect and for us, having been to many 3 star places in lots of areas of Greece, is accurate and fully met our needs. Last year we had a studio apartment but decided to have a 2 floor apartment- no 11- this time and we were more than happy. Lots of space, with 2 balconies and a wee terrace at the front, where you can- if you want- have an early evening chat with the other guests, and watch the beautiful sunsets. ❤️ Top balcony, from the bedroom, had views of the sea, in the near distance. The huge sky, at dawn and dusk (with no orange- street light hue to be seen at night) is something city/ town dwellers, like us, crave and is a salve to the soul. Mixed with all the wildlife sounds and scents all around. Bliss. (Comedy gold is listening to the staff at the brilliant Cristos Karouzis restaurant across the field, passionately shouting at eachother, from your balcony, or dining there!). Yes, there's a hospital opposite,in view, but to me, that's a bonus, and didn't impede our enjoyment of the skyline. Polis is a lovely place. 5- 10 minutes walk from Bougainvillea. So many good restaurants and bars. Sedate, chilled and welcoming, just right for people who want to the same 🤗. Polis beach is 10 minutes walk away and not overcrowded, which we like. And has a restaurant/ bar and toilet/ shower facilities. The sea is warm, even in early October. There's a lovely chilled buzz there. After a day at the beach, stop off at Elena's at the top of the beach road, far a brew, or an Ouzo. And you might get something extra instead of the usual nuts...fresh figs and guava from their trees, and lots of people, who you will enjoy their stories of Polis and their lives ❤️ If you want to feel relaxed from the moment you arrive at this lovely part of Cyprus, then you can't go wrong, if you choose Bougainvillea. But don't expect 4 star; instead expect somewhere you'll want to come back to again, because it is 5 stars.. because of the people and the love ❤️❤️❤️
• V6450YAdenisew (8/5): Lovely holiday - We have just returned from a lovely stay at the hotel. Our studio was basic,but very well equipped and they even left teabags and fairy washing up liquid! The location is amazing, traditional Greek village just up the road and a lovely beach also around the corner. The beach bar is another story, food is OK,but the service is appalling. The jet 2 rep was there most days, but we learned more about the area from people who had visited before, particularly "Hillary and " Fletch who are frequent visitors to Cyprus and directed us to the bus station, supermarket etc. We met our very own "Shirley Valentine"( her husband was at home cooking steak and chips) We had a good laugh with her. Stella served us a good breakfast each morning,and overall for what we paid it was excellent value. Very close to the lovely village of Latchi, took us about 45 minutes to walk there,some lovely restaraunts there, Big shout out to John who drove us back to the airport, excellent driver and good banter. Favourite restaurants Finikas, moukalatis, Assonous, and for a special. Treat the old town restaurant. Also Yohghanas and Peter Tavernas in Latchi is really good, Hope to return one day as the hotel is gradually being renovated.
• ARGYRIS (8/5): - πολύ παλαιο κτίριο το οποιο θελει αμεσα ανακαίνιση. Οσο μπορούν να ειναι οι εγκαταστάσεις ειναι καθαρές.
• EVRIPIDES (4/5): - Clean apartments. Important drawback no air contrition in kitchen-living room when there was my children beds so the condition was unbearable in the middle of the summer. It’s a family business and the owners are very polite and pleasant people
• Antonia (4/5): - Needs renovation. Very Old furniture. The aircondition is definitely more than 25years old.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It’s a lovely quiet place. Can’t fault it and Stavros, Marina and staff are all friendly and welcoming.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely setting in well kept patio gardens and next to wildflower filled fields with quiet path to beach. Very close to town facilities and ten minutes from small beach. Apartment is spacious and well laid out and staff friendly and helpful.
• douglas (10/5): happy. - quiet area, but near sea, 2 minute walk, shops and restaurant's within walking dirtance.
• WILLIAM (10/5): A very pleasant stay in a quiet location. - This place ticked all our boxes. The accommodation is not luxurious but comfortable and in a quiet location but only a few minutes walk from the town centre where there are a number of restaurants and shops. The restaurant on site is also good value especially for breakfast. The beach is about 10 minutes walk away and from there it is possible to walk to the harbour of Latshi in about 40 minutes where there are more restaurants and boat trips available. Parking is easy under the units. The staff and management are very friendly and helpful. WiFi was only available in the reception area.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Quiet relaxing peaceful friendly hotel appartments - We had a wonderful stay in peaceful polis. Beautiful sunshine relaxing by the pool and within walking distance of the beach and crystal clear sea. Near the Akamas nature reserve and lovely walks and flower spotting. Spacious appartments with sitting out areas at the front and back with views of olive groves and the countryside.
• Peter (10/5): Totally Satisfied - Everything we wished for we found at this hotel and the surrounding area. We will without doubt revisit in the future.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Lovely place to stay. We were there in April which was for us a perfect time as it was nice and quiet. So close to the beach and you can walk to the restaurants in town too. Everything we wanted. Lovely staff too! Thanks Stavros and Suri!
• Verified traveler (2/5): מאכזב - לא מומלץ. הובטח מזגן שהיה בחדר השינה בלבד ודרשו עוד 6 יורו להפעלתו לימום. ספה שבורה. מקום מאכזב
• arnaud (6/5): séjours correct - Séjour agréable et calme. Les appartements sont propres mais il y a des services a perfectionner. L'aire pour enfant est une bonne idée mais les jouets sont quasi tous cassés, la piscine manque souvent d'un coup épuisette, le wifi ne fonctionne correctement que proche l'accueil,et surtout (jamais vu après plusieurs séjours à Chypre) l'air conditionné en option journalière.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Very basic facilities not what expected - The pictures provided in internet were totally different from the room provided. As told by the owners there are two apartments renovated that were promoted in the internet. However, the apartment we got had nothing in common with the apartment showed in the internet and that was really disappointing. The refrigerator was smelling badly and when we advised the owner, they changed it but the old one was left on the small veranda outside the apartment.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Enjoyed our stay - Overall we enjoyed our stay. It's great value for money. Ideal for children and families. Decor is dated but still functional. I'd go back. Great location. Best part was sitting on our front porch with a glass of wine in the evening.
• Consuelo (6/5): Non consigliato - All'arrivo ci hanno offerto da bere e alla fine della permanenza abbiamo pagato anche la consumazione offertaci...Aria condizionata con aggiunta di 6 euro al giorno e ventilatore che funzionava a rallentatore, appartamento molto caldo all'ultimo piano. Non tornerei in questa struttura e non la consiglierei!
• Rob (8/5): Family run and very friendly - We found the Bougainville apartment well maintained, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. Kitchen had a small oven with two hobs and a grill, kettle and toaster. Sufficient utensils were provided for preparing salads, grilling fresh sardines and squeezing the locally abundant oranges. The area is peaceful and apartment balcony faced onto open land with trees hosting a variety of birds. The bar, pool and garden area are very pleasant and feel like a home rather than a hotel. It is a family run place and we felt very welcome guests. We would definitely stay again.
• col (8/5): quiet - hotel reccommended, i went early april so not to busy which suited me,maybe a bit noisier in season ,families with small children, would go there again but not in high season
• Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel in grüner Umgebung, Stadt und Strand nah - Vier wunderschöne Urlaubstage wurden geprägt von einer herzlichen Gastfreundschaft. Gerne erinnern wir uns an die entspannten Stunden auf der Terrasse mit Blick über die blühenden Gärten bis zum Meer.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Tired apartments on edge of village - Family operated apartments which has lost the impetus for customer service. 28 roomy apartments but air con {at additional cost} was only provided in the one bedroom, when we moved our child to our room to keep out of 40* heat the only option was to sleep on the floor, no discount offered or permitted! 2 teabags and 2 milk sachets provided, coffee was extra. Continental breakfast was cheese, local bread and jam, one cup of tea or coffee allowed. Any additional cup or juice was an extra cost. Cooked breakfast was lountza, frankfurter sausage, 2 eggs and cucumber!! We had to clear the pool of dead leaves before anyone could get in but the proprietor did do it again a few hours later. Glad we only used it as a base from which to travel around.
• ΜΑΡΙΑ (8/5): - ΠΛΗΡΩΣ ΑΝΑΚΑΙΝΙΣΜΕΝΟ ΔΩΜΑΤΙΟ,ΜΕΓΑΛΟ,ΑΝΕΤΟ, ΚΑΘΑΡΟ ΜΕ ΑΝΕΤΟ ΚΡΕΒΑΤΙ
