Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel and Spa

Stayed here for 7 days and I was very underwhelmed. The ‘all inclusive’ feels like a scam unless you pay extra for the purple band. Without the purple band you get basic unbranded drinks. These cocktails taste of nothing. There are nowhere near enough sunbeds and the hotel offers ‘premium’ guests the option to reserve sunbeds. It’s not an exaggeration that some days there were not enough sunbeds for all the guests as the vast majority were reserved and we had to go to the indoor pool instead. The cleanliness of the hotel is a real issue as well. The sunbeds are dirty and some days our room was not cleaned at all. When the room was cleaned it was done to a bare minimum standard. The food was fine but doesn’t offer many options for dietary requirements. Many guests said they had upset stomachs, myself included so I question the hygiene of the food buffet. We also found some of the hotel staff to be rude and not very accommodating. Overall the stay was fine, but I would not recommend it unfortunately. The purple band offering really needs to be looked into by hotel management as a lot of people are not happy with it (this based not just on my opinion but on conversations we had with other guests too).

Just Fantastic! Absolutely amazing hotel. The staff the food the rooms and a beautiful spar, we could not fault any of it. We had never been made so welcome in all our travels. Very attentive staff in a beautiful hotel and a room with a stunning view. We stayed in July 2025 and have now booked again for October this year. Thank you all (see you soon)

We had high expectations for our stay at this resort, but unfortunately, it fell far short of what one would reasonably expect from a 5-star property. We originally booked a front sea view room on the fifth floor as per confirmation, and while we were told we had been upgraded, the room we received didn’t feel like an upgrade at all. It was outdated, on the second floor with seaside view poorly maintained. The sofa in the living room were worn, and the small, old television was unacceptable for a 5 star hotel while in these days even 3 star hotel have a smart TV in the room. Cleanliness was another major issue. The corridors were not clean, and the room itself felt neglected. Basic services were missing — for example, there was no iron in the room, and we were told to go to another floor to iron our clothes. That is not acceptable in a hotel claiming to be 5-star. The dining experience was equally disappointing. The buffet had very limited choices, and most of the service was self-serve — even for drinks. No one came around to check on guests or offer assistance, and we constantly found ourselves queuing for everything doing the job that normally hotel should have waiters to assist. To be honest, we truly don’t understand how this hotel has received such high ratings. Based on our experience, it falls well short of the standards expected of a 5-star resort. This property is in desperate need of renovation and a serious upgrade in both facilities and service. Until then, we cannot recommend it.

I really enjoyed my stay at Leonardo Hotel in Cyprus. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was good, and there were plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas available free of charge. The hotel also offers direct access to the sea, which was a big plus. I also warmly recommend visiting the Erato Bar inside the hotel, where the great bartender Maciej delights guests with both kind words and delicious drinks. You can easily get to the hotel by taxi, and we wholeheartedly recommend George’s services (see the business card in photos)

This hotel is situated by the sea and has great views. Its lovely and clean and food available through out the day. I have mixed opinions about our holiday. I appreciate it caters for children but there is nothing for adults unless you want to sit by the pool or drink. The entertainment is mainly aimed at children. At dinner it is total chaos. As much as the hotel are not responsible for guests behaviour they do have to cater for guests experiences. At dinner people push and shove to get the food and the dining room is very over crowded. This made it very difficult to enjoy dinner in the evening. We ended up paying to eat out despite paying all inclusive. The 4 restaurants that are meant to be available during the week were impossible to book as 2 of them were always closed. We only managed to get a booking once we complained. This is not somewhere I would visit again. I've eaten in all inclusive restaurants before and never experienced anything like this.
