Constantinos The Great Beach Hotel

Robin Aris

Out of season so didn't expect much open around. A couple of coffee shops and a couple of bars in either direction along the board walk was about it. The hotel itself was beautiful. Warm friendly welcome and a very quick check in. Room was spacious and had a side sea view which was ample for us. Especially for the sunrise each morning to have a coffee on the balcony was bliss. The spa was good, sauna and steam room nice. Food was good. Different theme each night. Most won't go hungry here. Plenty of comfy chairs to relax with a drink after dinner too. Would come back for sure

We recently stayed at this hotel and, in my personal opinion, although it is modern and visually beautiful, I don’t believe it meets 5 star standards. The room itself was spacious, and the view from the balcony was absolutely unreal, definitely one of the highlights of our stay. However, the TV are so small, no smart with bad reception. The bathroom was disappointing. The finishing details were poor, and there were visible signs of rust on the handles and the shower holder, which you wouldn’t expect from a 5 star property. Another thing that felt quite surprising for a 5 star hotel was the use of tiny mini bottles for shower gel and shampoo. It felt a bit ridiculous for this category of hotel. Even more disappointing, they were not replaced the next day. The same happened with the towels, no proper replacement, which again is something you would expect as standard service. The in-room coffee and milk were also very basic. We were given only two small sachets, which were never replenished, and the quality wasn’t great either. These small details really make a difference in what should feel like a premium experience. There was also no iron provided in the room. While the hotel does have a shared ironing room downstairs where guests can iron their clothes, this again felt below what you would normally expect from a 5 star hotel. We had requested a double bed but were given two single beds instead. On the first evening, one of the beds actually collapsed. I reported this the next morning and again requested a double bed. When we returned later that day, the broken bed had been fixed, but we still had two single beds. After asking again the following day, we were finally given a double mattress topper. Unfortunately, we ended up spending two nights with separate beds and one night with a broken bed, which was quite disappointing. Food wise, we had half board and there was plenty of choice at both breakfast and dinner. However, the quality was average, nothing particularly memorable or special. One thing I found strange was the dress code enforcement. I went to dinner wearing short chinos and a shirt and was asked to change into long trousers. However, I noticed other guests wearing Adidas tracksuits, which felt inconsistent and a bit unfair. The kiosk outside again was disappointing, serving only hamburger or chips, you would have a better experience at McDonald to be honest. The spa and indoor pool area were great overall, but there were some drawbacks. The pool wasn’t properly heated, and the steam room and sauna closed at 5pm, with the pool closing at 6pm, quite early for a relaxing evening experience. Guests are supposed to wear swimwear in the sauna and steam room, but we witnessed a man completely naked, and at one point a child entered the steam room with his dad, which made the situation uncomfortable. The staff were professional but not particularly warm or friendly. It didn’t feel very welcoming, especially considering it was out of season and not busy. Overall, I would rate this as a 2 or 3 star experience rather than a 5 star one. That said, Cyprus itself is absolutely 5 star. We stayed in Protaras and I highly recommend renting a car to explore the island. We visited so many beautiful places and created amazing memories, including spending a day in Nicosia and crossing the border into Turkey, which was such a unique and interesting experience. Beautiful country and unforgettable memories, just not quite the 5-star hotel experience we expected, especially as a special Birthday present to my amazing woman, which as always deserve the best and I feel this hotel failed us a bit.

We came in December so it was off season, the food was hit and miss some days great some days not the best but it’s was okay overall. The hotel room definitely needs improvement, lots of places need’s paint and holes in the walls. They don’t change your beds sheet, once every 3 days and even then they still don’t do it. You have to physically tell reception or chase the cleaners. — Best things about the hotel — The staff are great all of them are extremely friendly and helpful. Espically Hanad and a few others I don’t know how to spell there names. The spa is amazing! Firesale massages, excellent stream room, sauna and heated indoor pool.

Location is great, has an amazing beach right on the door step . However the hotel itself isn’t great, food isn’t great, the room we had wasn't that clean and the door couldn’t be locked, the cleaners came in several times early in the morning and also they came in when getting changed. Multiple fixtures were broken and not secure including the toilet, tap and the shower wouldn’t run without the tap running. Several of the toilets located around the hotel were either broken or not clean. Selection of paid drinks weren’t great made using cheap syrups. Loud noises coming from the lobby area in the early hours of the morning which sounded like furniture being moved. Entertainment was very poor. Staff in the beach bar were great though. Bedding not getting changed during our stay, hotel needs a good renovation and updating. Not a 5 five hotel in the slightest, have stayed in better 3 star hotels.

We consider the trip successful overall, although with some reservations. The hotel is located right on the beachfront, providing very easy access to the sea and a swimming pool. At the beginning of October, there was no problem finding sunbeds, even for six people together. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. A big advantage is the location — directly from the hotel you can access the main promenade with numerous shops, restaurants, bars, and car rentals. However, the hotel is showing its age, which is most noticeable in the rooms. They require renovation — the furniture is quite worn, and cleanliness was questionable. The room, especially the bathroom, was not thoroughly cleaned. In the common areas, there were also visible signs of wear and damaged elements of the equipment. A serious drawback was the noise in the rooms. We were accommodated on the third floor, on the side facing the Flamingo Hotel, and it was possible to hear sounds from the corridor almost all the time — conversations, cleaning staff, or doors closing. The hotel also hosts weddings lasting until late at night, and from the early morning hours, there was noise from deliveries and maintenance work outside. The food in the all-inclusive restaurants was tasty, with a fairly good selection. However, breakfasts were quite monotonous – it would be nice if at least two dishes changed from day to day. Guests can choose from five à la carte restaurants. We can recommend two of them: Los Amigos (Mexican cuisine) and Kohili Food Stories (Mediterranean cuisine). The others disappointed us with both service quality and food — after dining there, we usually went back to the main restaurant to have a better meal. As for the all-inclusive drinks, they were fine, though much depended on the bartender. Some prepared drinks carelessly, often omitting ingredients. A major downside for all-inclusive guests is the limited access to bottled water. It is available only during bar opening hours, with a limit of two 0.5-liter bottles per person. While this is not a big issue during the day, it becomes inconvenient in the evening when you want water for the night or plan to leave early for sightseeing — it’s simply not available anywhere. The hotel offers various daily activities: children’s animations, concerts, shows, and sports classes. There is also an indoor pool and a gym available. In the immediate area, you can find plenty of additional attractions such as water sports, diving, motorboat rentals, and massages. Overall, I think it’s possible to find a much better hotel in this area for a similar price. Five stars seem like a serious overstatement.
