River Rock hotel enjoys a unique, privileged location. Centrally located, this stylish, contemporary hotel, on Kriou Nerou Avenue 19, is 7 minutes walk away from Ayia Napa's largest beach and 5 minutes from the medieval monastery at the center of Ayia Napa. THALASSA Municipal Museum is just across the road and the medieval aqueduct just by side. Shops, restaurants and bars are within 2 minutes walk away. All you need… is next to you! An ideal location for both couples and families.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
We have been visiting River Rock Hotel since the day it first opened, and after so many stays over the years, it continues to exceed our expectations. We stayed again this year from June 1st to June 7th, and once again had an absolutely wonderful experience. If we have counted correctly, this was our tenth stay at the hotel, which says everything about how much we love this place.
There are many excellent hotels in Ayia Napa, but River Rock feels like a second home to us. Every year we return with great pleasure, and every year we leave already looking forward to our next visit.
The biggest reason for this is the incredible team. Petra at reception is simply outstanding. She is always cheerful, positive, professional, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring that every guest has the best possible stay. Her warm welcome and willingness to help with absolutely anything make a tremendous difference.
It is also always a joy to see Katerina, the head waitress, again each year. She is one of those rare people who makes every guest feel special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and constant smile create a wonderful atmosphere throughout the restaurant.
A special thank you as well to Angel from Bulgaria, who is consistently friendly, polite, and eager to help. Nothing is ever too much trouble for him, and his positive attitude is appreciated by everyone.
And of course, Regina deserves special recognition too. She is pure energy, always active, and always making sure guests are well looked after.
Another small tradition that makes us smile every year is seeing the 6–7 cats that live around the hotel. We were delighted to see them again this year, and they have become part of the River Rock experience for us.
The hotel itself is spotless, modern, comfortable, and exceptionally well managed, but what truly sets it apart is its people. The entire team consistently delivers a level of service that is becoming increasingly rare to find.
Thank you to everyone at River Rock Hotel for making our stay so memorable. After ten visits, we can honestly say that River Rock remains our favourite hotel in Ayia Napa. We cannot recommend it highly enough and we are already looking forward to returning again next year.
Me and my friend have just come to the end of holiday here and it was lovely. The food was good and the hotel was really clean. The staff were really kind and always friendly. We would come again, we just wish there was some entertainment on the evenings or throughout the day. Other than that it was fabulous 😍
Staff are amazing, so welcoming, attentive and kind! Petra on reception is a credit to your hotel, she is unbelievably helpful and kind. This is our 6th stay in the hotel and we will definitely be coming back again. The rooms are clean and modern, food and drinks are lovely. The hotel has all the amenities around it and is only a 10/15min walk from the beach. Would highly recommend a stay here if you’re ever in Aiya Napa. Thank you again for a great stay and always looking after us!!! ❤️
Great location, not far away from anything, but far enough away as wasn't noisy. A lovely friendly atmosphere within the hotel , the staff were all very helpful and polite, they couldn't do enough for us. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily. Air conditioning was perfect and you could control it to suit your needs. There were plenty of sun loungers around the pool and no need to panic in the morning to reserve them. A nice relaxed atmosphere around the pool. It was a short stroll to the beach were there's were plenty of sunbeds & parasols ( 10€ 2beds and parasol per day). Beautiful clear warm sea on a sandy beach, also boat trips available ftom the harbour also close by. We took one of the smaller boats which was a good choice as we got to turtle Bay early before the large boats to swim with the turtles. Ayia Napa has a good selection of quality restaurants and we are out somewhere different every night. Buses were easy to use and we took trips to Nissi beach one day, the new marina one night , and also went to protaras for the day each trip was just 2€ each . All in all a great holiday and staying at a excellent hotel helps make you feel relaxed and safe. Just one other thing the breakfast selection was excellent all the hot and cold choices you require and they didn't run short of any thing, staff were constantly cooking eggs & pancakes could not fault it. Thank you so much for a great holiday, we will be back at some point.
Very lovely experience Very nice staff
