- Vrissaki Beach Hotel
This lovely hotel is in Protaras, right on one of the best beaches on the island of Cyprus, right on the Protaras board walk, and just 3-4 minutes walk from the Protaras main strip. This accommodation offers a total of 141 bedrooms and suites. The hotel has 3 bars and 3 restaurants, and its own Health club and beauty centre, with an indoor pool and a Gym. Pets are not allowed at this establishment. Vrissaki Beach Hotel follows environmentally sustainable practices.

The hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and in a great location, with easy access to the beach and the promenade. Unfortunately, the food was a major disappointment.
We booked an all-inclusive stay, but the lunch and dinner were not very good. The food was bland, lacked flavour, and it often felt like the same food was being served for lunch and then again for dinner, sometimes reheated. The breakfast and snack time were good, but because of the quality of the lunch and dinner, we ended up eating out every single day. When you pay a significant amount for an all-inclusive holiday, having to pay for dinner outside the hotel every day is far from ideal.
Another issue was the power banks available in the lobby and by the pool. In my experience, these were essentially a scam. About a week after returning home, I was charged money from my card, and despite trying to contact the company responsible for the power banks, I have had no response. I find it very strange and disappointing that a hotel of this standard allows such an unreliable company to operate on its premises.
That said, I want to give special recognition to George at the reception bar. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and service-minded throughout our stay. Five stars to him! Some of the staff serving breakfast and lunch were also excellent.
Overall, the hotel itself is lovely and has a great location, but unfortunately, the food really let the experience down. I would not return unless the food improves. When paying this much for an all-inclusive holiday, having to eat dinner elsewhere every day is simply not acceptable.
Currently staying at this hotel and leaving tomorrow morning, We booked all inclusive through Jet2 holidays. But be aware all inclusive here does NOT mean all inclusive there are still things you have to pay for ie: bottled water, But you can refill your empty water bottles you previously purchased at the pool bar for 3 euros a bottle may using a hose pipe attached to the pool bar once it opens at 10.00am which everyone seems to use placing their actual bottle openings on to this hose pipe which surely passes one people saliva to another and so on, not very sterile practice? fresh orange juice after a certain time of the day is not included in your all inclusive. Bedding has not been changed the whole week we have been here. So therefore the cleaning of the room has not been what you would expect from such an establishment, sand had been left on the corridor carpet leading you our apartment for 3 days before finally being vacuumed up. Pool safety is not adhered to either rules state no diver, no lilos well those rules were not enforced. Life guard or guards multi task from collecting ice from the kitchen to collecting empty plastic drinks cups. And never just focusing on pool safety. There are other things we could mention about the so called all inclusive side of this hotel but we feel this review is way too long already.
Rooms are nice just want you need for a holiday a basic room balcony and bathroom as you spend most the time in the sun. They could have made it more clear on rules for bed sheets and towels to be changed. Definitely ask when you arrive on what to do or none will be changed. I paid for a partial sea view room which honestly was not worth it, my booking agent was extra £400 but speaking to others there they got sea view or better partial sea view rooms they actually saw the sea with no extra cost. They do have English plug sockets in the room which was handy. There is a free safe in the room and complimentary hotel slippers. Mini fridge to use. Cleaners work really hard throughout the day cleaning glass on balcony to the rooms. There are signs about waste and environment but use throw away plastic cups and plastic straws which is disappointing. You can refill water bottles at the pool bar there is a hose one or one the other side which is more hygienic as doesn’t touch bottle top. Definitely recommend bringing your own reusable water bottles. You can refill this at the pool bar from 10am and up till 1am at the lobby bar for free. Food was fine mix of things for everyone at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The standard hotel buffet. Chefs work hard continuously for breakfast, snack times and dinner. The snack times are good and generous wraps, pizza or pasta. The staff running food, preparing tables and behind the bar are excellent so polite so hard working they really made the holiday. They work long shifts and remain working hard with a smile. The management speak to them poorly in front of guests which was uncomfortable. Sunrise walks are lovely footpath along the beach here, however a lot are awake at 5am running out pool towels to save beds. When booking was reassuring that this was not allowed but I guess hard to oversee for staff to manage guests behaviour. Overall good all round hotel.

Just back from an amazing 10 day visit to the Vrissaki Beach Hotel Protaras to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Both my husband and I loved absolutely everything, what a beautiful hotel. Upon arrival the reception staff were super friendly and professional and we were made to feel at home straight away. Our room was perfect , spacious, clean with stunning views of the sea. Breakfast was great, so much choice and the morning staff were always on hand to help. The location of this hotel is superb, right on the beach with everything you could want just a short distance away. The hotel has such a beautiful atmosphere, we felt so comfortable and that is definitely due to all members of staff, such a great relationship between them. All in all our stay was amazing and can’t wait to go back next year.
