Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel and Spa

This was my first trip aboard and i was absolutely amazed by the quality and service i received. i've already booked up again for next year. My brother and his wife had stayed here earlier in the year and loved it so much they'd booked again for October, i'd decided to tag along at their request. After arriving at the hotel we were greeted by friendly staff who ushered us inside add took our bags while we were directed to a complimentary glass of prosecco as we filled out the paperwork for our stay. when checking in i was informed i'd been upgraded to front's sea view room and the helpful member of staff on the counter talked me through all of the facilities and explained the serving times for meals and the booking system for the restaurants. The room was fantastic, much larger than i expected and the view was great and everything was spotlessly clean. the bed was so soft i haven't slept that well in years. The food was fantastic at the breakfast Buffett a great mixture (the banana ice cream is amazing) had to be careful not to eat too much. i can't speak for the meals in the evening as i spent much of the day/early evening exploring paphos and eating out. i will say the margherita pizza and the chips here are delicious. the staff are fantastic, special mention to Prodomos who makes the best ouzo specials i've ever tasted, he was a true credit to you team and remembered my brother and his wife from their previous stay, he constantly checked in with us throughout our stay and wished us a safe flight up upon our departure. the location is great the beach at the rear of the hotel is great to relax as is the pool area, there was always sun loungers available to us and never had any issues getting anywhere to sit. make sure to wear plenty of sun cream though - i made the mistake of not wearing any and suffered the worst sunburn of my life. Thank you guys for a fantastic first holiday abroad and I'll see you again when i return next year

Unforgettable Stay at Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris! (10/10+!) ​I genuinely cannot say enough good things about our experience at this hotel! If I could give it more than 10 out of 10, I absolutely would. ​Amazing Service & Food ​The staff were incredible—so friendly and genuinely helpful throughout our entire stay. But what truly blew us away was the food. We've stayed at many all-inclusive resorts, and I can confidently say the quality and variety here have been the best we've ever experienced. Absolutely top-notch! ​Facilities & Entertainment ​The pool facilities were beautiful and relaxing. We also thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment, especially catching the fantastic Elvis tribute act (definitely not the real Elvis, sadly, but what a show!). ​Location & Value ​The value for money here is outstanding. The location is grey (great!)—so close to the harbour, making exploring Paphos incredibly easy. To top it all off, there's a casino right across the road! We even had some luck on the very good slot machines and walked away about €200 richer—a brilliant bonus to an already perfect holiday! ​Highly, highly recommended! Book your stay here

Very good hotel. Staff friendly. Great location near a small beach and watersports. Food great in buffet. Plenty choice. We tried greek restaurant- nice but not spectacular. Drinks good if a little weak on the %s. I had several cuba libra black Russian and pina coladas. Never really drunk. Did see a few people who must have proper caned it though! Plenty sun beds when we were there 28.9 to 4.10.25. We liked grassy area near the sea. Hear the waves. Watch the para gliding and see the party boats go past. Late flight so they organised a free room for us to get changed in after full day sunbathing. Entertainment a bit mixed. Elvis on a friday night was very very good. Everyone up dancing at the end to ...... [wont spoil it] . There were cats around the grounds and the outside restaurants which isn't our favourite thing. We had room 449 - big enough. Cleaned daily with suprise towel sculpture waiting for us each night. We had a partial sea view. Not sure worth the €80 a day to upgrade to full sea view They have the football on in the bar and just round the corner on a bigger screen , its also in your room ! Along with BBC ITV and a few others .Great place. You will enjoy your stay here.

I’d recommend avoiding this hotel. We stayed this year, and had a nice welcome from the staff in the lobby, which was where the good experience stopped unfortunately. The room was small, but overall cleanliness was acceptable. The biggest issue we had was the quality of food at the buffet being far below the standards of what you’d expect. We overheard a few guests complain of upset stomachs, which didn’t fill us with confidence. We found out after checking in that there are three tiers of wristband, so booking all inclusive doesn’t necessarily mean a lot at all, and definitely doesn’t include everything (which, by definition, isn’t an all inclusive). The higher tiers unlock additional benefits that weren’t clear when booking, such as being able to reserve sunbeds, and being able to get branded drinks. Imagine an all inclusive where you can’t even get a Diet Coke - look no further! I had some concerns around the pool bar area’s cleanliness too. The water was dirty, and had a terrible smell throughout our stay. To top things off, when we were paying for our late checkout, the front desk staff member couldn’t have been ruder. It’s not the place for me to name anyone in particular, as I believe just a few members of staff behaving in this way towards guests displays a failing at a senior level. I would like to end on a positive though - the aqua aerobics was a delight in the pool, which is a daily activity.

Having stayed along the strip before I knew what to expect, beautiful views of the sea and warm waters and beautiful beaches. Unfortunately trying this new hotel has soured the memories I have in Cyprus. The service was so disappointing, only being politely serviced by the younger members of staff (bar,waitresses) the reception staff are miserable! They are incredibly unhelpful and rude, unpleasant from day 1 to the end of our stay. Our room was nice, nothing amazing but can’t complain on size or cleanliness. The major issue we faced that spoiled everything was the food. A hotel of 4 stars should NOT be serving food so low in quality. We stayed for 5 nights and not one single day was the food even ‘nice’. Taco shells were stale, having only walked in 4 minutes after opening it was disappointing. Bread for breakfast was rock hard and all the food was over cooked/ unseasoned and had a lingering taste of anything it was cooked with. I’d be ashamed to be a chef here, there is zero reason for a hotel of 4 stars to be proudly serving such disappointing dishes. Me and my partner had stomach pain nearly nightly after eating. We decided we’d be better off ordering food somewhere else. A complete let down and well over priced for something that was promoted so differently.
