St Raphael Resort

I stayed at the St. Raphael Resort in mid-November 2025, and it was an amazing experience. The hotel is right on the beach, offering direct access and beautiful sea views. It’s also very convenient to reach using the Limassol Express bus, which is a great alternative to taking a taxi. Although I was on a business trip, the hotel made my stay truly enjoyable. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease throughout my stay. The food was delicious, and I appreciated the thoughtful touch of two complimentary water bottles in the room, along with a reusable bottle to refill at the hotel’s water stations. My only suggestion would be to offer a wider variety at breakfast beyond the traditional English options. Also, the friendly hotel cats added an extra charm to my visit. Overall, an exceptional experience.

St Raphael Resort stands as an iconic and beloved hotel on the Limassol coastline, offering a stay that is rich in character and comfort. While its classic architecture might suggest a style from a different era, this only adds to its established charm, creating a welcoming and nostalgic atmosphere that many travelers find deeply appealing. The heart of this welcoming experience is the staff. The front desk team is exceptionally helpful and attentive, providing seamless check-ins and going out of their way to ensure every guest feels valued and assisted from the moment they arrive. This commitment to care extends to the accommodations. The rooms are a highlight, impeccably clean, meticulously well-kept, and offering a comfortable, serene retreat. The housekeeping team clearly takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and order. Each morning begins on a high note with the hotel's breakfast buffet. It is genuinely rich in its selection, offering a wide array of hot and cold options, fresh pastries, local specialties, and international classics to satisfy every palate and set you up perfectly for the day ahead. In summary, the St Raphael Resort masterfully blends its timeless charm with genuine hospitality and solid comforts. It may not be the newest hotel on the block, but it offers a wonderfully reliable and pleasant experience that keeps guests returning year after year. Highly recommended for those seeking a stay with character and heart.

St. Raphael Resort is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay, perfectly located right next to the St. Raphael Marina — which adds a unique charm and convenience, especially if you enjoy watching the boats or taking a stroll along the waterfront. The resort itself is modern, with clean, comfortable rooms and plenty of amenities, including great pools and a lovely beach area. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection, and the staff are generally friendly and attentive. It can get busy at times, especially during peak season, but overall the service and atmosphere make for a very enjoyable stay. The connection to the marina really sets it apart — it gives the resort a stylish, coastal vibe that’s hard to beat.

Me and my family stayed at St Raphael Resort for a week back in July. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a very relaxing and calm stay. We arrived very late in the afternoon, but we still managed to go to dinner. The check-in process was very smooth and we were immediately given a room. As soon as we finished our dinner we went to the lobby bar, where we were surprised by the wide range of cocktails or soft/hard drinks. However, we were really confused as of what was really all inclusive and what not. But we did not have a problem to ask and the staff - very nice people by the way - explained it to us. To review further, the kitchen was very tasty - we liked how the restaurants were separated, the restaurant where breakfast and lunch were served was rather casual, whereas the dinner restaurant was modest - we also befriended some of the staff, thank you Ramahotsu and Sarmilla 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 You could also visit the "Seashells" restaurant that was situated right on the beach - they offered many vegan, gluten-free or vegetarian options. The staff was amazing, such beautiful people - BIG SHOUTOUT TO NIKI, ALEXIA AND DEREK 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 We also spent a lot of time - most, if not all, of our lunches in the bar called "Splash", where you could find lots of international meals and such. Also big shoutout to Harris, Gabriella and Jacquelin 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 If I were to review our stay overall, I’d say it was a very enjoyable one. The staff was GREAT, food was amazing and the beach was beautiful too - pure sand! Thanks from Slovakia - Renáta, Eduard, Sara 💗

We booked a ten-day family trip to Cyprus at the St. Raphael Resort — two adults and two children — with half board included. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with both the service and the staff at the hotel. What surprised us most was that even with half board, no water was provided during meals. When we asked for water (we have two small children), we were told that water was not included in the half-board package. When we then asked for a drinks menu so we could purchase beverages, we were informed that there was no menu available and that we should simply “say what we want.” We found this to be very unprofessional. Families with children are not even provided with simple, basic drinking water in the rooms, which is something we have never experienced anywhere else. We reported this issue to the reception, but unfortunately, they were unable to assist us. Overall, we were extremely disappointed by the poor level of service throughout the hotel. The room we received was also quite average — no balcony for a family of four, no separate room or connecting option — and the overall value for money was very disappointing. We paid around €6,000 in total for our stay and expected a much higher standard. We cannot recommend this hotel and genuinely cannot understand the many positive reviews it seems to receive.
