St George Beach Hotel and Spa Resort - Adults Only

From the time we arrived at the hotel till the time we left - it was incredible! We arrived very late, just before midnight and were able to go to the Patisserie and have a sandwich and profiteroles after which became a daily ritual as they were just the best. Everything was explained to us at check in regarding the a la carte restaurants, the sun bed reservations, meal times etc.

Room - was nice however we did have a few issues the first day with our shower leaking terribly, housekeeping were there very quickly with plenty of towels for us and they mopped it all up. The next day maintenance came and unblocked it and put new sealant all around. We then had a problem after our first day hanging our damp pool towels up as they became covered in flies. I went to reception and they then instructed the pool reservation department that we could change our towels everyday at the end so we didn't have to take wet towels up to the room. They also offered for us to change rooms but we were all unpacked and settled by then and reallt didn't want the hassle. Instead I asked if we could keep our room on free of charge on the last day as we weren't leaving until 4pm - this was no problem. It was kept spotlessly clean all week although our maid kept forgetting to leave us face cloths which we sometimes had to go and ask for but it wasn't the end of the world. Beds were comfy but the air conditioning was so loud even on low setting. I am not a good sleeper so was glad I had taken my ear plugs.

Sun beds - The sun bed reservations is an absolute game changer, I wish all hotels did this. They showed us a map, we decided to go on the grass in front of the pool looking on to the beach and explaoned we wanted the sun and not shade. We were right in the middle so a 1 minute walk to the pool and a 1 minute walk to the sea, we could go on a list if we wanted to move to the pool when they became available but were were happy where we were - there was a breeze, it was lovely and quietand we had the best of both worlds.

Food - oh where do I start? The breakfast was amazing, anything you could possibly want, my daughter loved the pancakes, there were freshly cooked fried eggs, in fact any kind of eggs you wanted were there. The buffet restaurant for the evening was also very good with lots of choice. always something you liked, in fact to many options for me - I always over ate!

The A La Carte restaurants were also lovely, tip - book them as soon as you can as they do get busy. We didn't do the Asian and I wish we had but we did Route 66 - best burger I have ever had. Greek - best lamp cutlets I have ever had - cooked to perfection and my daughter loved the moussaka. The Italian was also very good although personal choice I did prefer the other two.

Staff - this is what makes this hotel the best. They all are so polite and friendly and the service was always excellent. Special mention to Anna and Kristina who made us the best iced vanilla lattes every morning (now hooked). I have never drank alcohol in the daytime but everyday we had a strawberry or a lemon daiquiri - it was wonderful. Special mention to Ina and Margerita aswell who sorted out our room issues.

If there were any negatives it would be the air conditioning in the bedroom was very loud, no plug sockets by the bed which is unusual, bit of a pain having tp plug them in on the other side of the room and the ice machines never worked at the self service drinks section so always had to go the bar to get ice. It didn't spoil anything though.

All in all a fabulous stay at the St George - we will definitely be back.

This was our second year as returning guests for our 2 week stay at St George Hotel. Unfortunately, it did not measure up to our experience of the previous year.
The first issue was checking in, when we arrived at 2am along with a large wedding group. The night manager was completely overwhelmed and gave us about 30 seconds of his time where he rushed through the details of the hotel which neither myself or my wife understood as it was spoken at such a speed. Thankfully, as returning guests we already knew everything but had we not been it would have left us very confused and unsure. (Note to hotel) If you know a large number of people will be checking in at a late hour put more staff on so guests can be welcomed and given the time they have paid for.
Last year was calm, relaxing and an around wonderful holiday., hence the reason we returned. However, this year the hotel seemed full of much younger guests (18 or below) and large noisy wedding groups that monopolised areas of the restaurants, pool areas, bars or entertainment areas. A prime example of this happened in the Tiki bar where a large drunk wedding group were screaming and shouting so loud the live singer could not be heard and a 3ft inflatable penis was being thrown around by the party . I felt like I was in Blackpool not a luxury 4 star hotel in Cyprus.
The staff on the whole were very attentive and friendly, special mention to Ioanna who remembered us from the previous year and the other girl (sorry I didn’t catch your name) who made us feel very welcome and provided first class service in the Semeli Wine Bar. The young girl in the Boulevard Patisserie on the other hand was miserable and clearly did not was to be there.
We tried all of the à la carte restaurants and all had decent menus and pleasant food except Route 66 and the inedible steak (you have been warned) The rooms were clean and our housemaid was always asking us if we needed fresh towels or anything else. A nice touch by house keeping was when they noticed we had used our 3 coffee sachets in our room on the first day and the next day they were replaced 10 fold, Sun lounger allocation is another reason we returned as not having the 7am fight everyday was a godsend. My wife and I really did have such an incredible holiday last year but I think the hotel has changed it’s business model now and are looking into becoming a hotel to attract a younger clientele and as a wedding venue for larger groups. Unfortunately, I think it’s losing that calm, relaxing dare I say mature atmosphere it’s had in previous years. I might be wrong but can only go on a comparison from the previous year.
We won’t be returning next year sadly but I don’t think the hotel will lose any sleep over that.
