Hotels Near Rock beach in Ayia Napa

We had a really pleasent stay at this hotel. We have booked half-board and the food at the buffet was really varied and we had a good selection between a variety of fresh salads, vegetables, fish, meat and deserts. All the staff were really nice, friendly and professionell. Especially the staff from the reception, the waiters and waitresses and of course Valentino, the man for the entertainment did all a great job! There were quizzes and live music every night. We really enjoyed our stay and will miss it.

Summary: The staff is truly great! The food, location, and cleanliness good. The gym and drinks is not good (see below). Bit of a charter vibe; football shirts and shorts at dinner, crocs and see through dresses/tunics over bikinis at lunch, and sunbed «prowling» before sunrise. This hotel would be average without its people. The staff is great: Attentive, nice and helpful (both reception, waiters/waitresses and the guys in the poolbar). They respond quickly, do it with a smile and help where they can. The manager is lucky to have such a good crew! Good to know: The hotel cooperates with charter companies, and has a large amount of british charter tourists. The breakfast buffét is adapted accordingly. Pros: Location - right next to beach and a cove perfect for swimming. Close to Protaras center, yet in a quiet location. Food - the food is good for an All Inclusive resort (we had some days with, and some days without were we ate at good local restaurants such as Sonja and Andama). Clean - Housekeeping keeps the rooms spotless. Poolbar - the service level is high. They walk around the pool area constantly to check if you need any refreshments. Cons: Drinks - the juices at breakfast are watered down (not even fresh juice, but the cheap sugery kind). At the drink menu there is extensive use of syrups instead of fresh ingredients. Suryp instead of coconut milk for the Pinã Colada, suryp instead of fresh lime juice and club soda for the Mojito, suryp instead of fresh juice for the Margarita, etc. This makes most drinks too sweet and/or synthetic flavoured. The «gym» is not a gym, and not what the website claims. The «gym» is a collection of old and worn equipment in the corner of the spa waiting area (which in itself is small). Much of the equipment is rusty and/or worn. Right next, as in RIGHT next, to this corner, is the spa. And the spa isn’t a spa, in the sense you expect. The spa is a small area with two treatment rooms, and toilets frequently used by guests lounging by the pool. It’s not a serene space with a luxurious feel. I didn’t try any treatments (because of the state of it), but I can imagine you hear people working out right outside, and the traffic to/from the toilets right outside, when having treatments. Other: The reception is connected to the restaurant, and the restaurant is between the reception and the pool area. Meaning people walk through the restaurant in swimwear, while people eat/drink. This isn’t ideal. The sun loungers. There are plenty, and yet people get up before the sun to reserve. The hotel has a sign that asks people to not reserve beds before 8am, but people don’t care.

Air conditioning separately charged

The hotel staff are brilliant and caring especially kostas he was very respectful and very nice and cared for us the 6 nights we were here and made sure we were safe. The rooms were comfy and nice, the air conditioning does cost extra but is definitely worth it for the money. The cleaning is perfect and lovely. love megan

What a fabulous surprise from start to finish. We arrived at 1.30am in the morning and were greeted with a friendly smile and glass of champagne. Check in was quick and easy. We travel a lot and our room was wonderful, one of the best we've stayed in. Very modern, a good size, a large balcony and with a seaview which we weren't expecting. All very clean. The hotel is kept spotless in every area, staff are all attentive and want you to enjoy your stay. Stayed B&B and loads of choice for breakfast, we had something different each day. Ate out in the evenings as we always do on holiday, but the restaurant looked very nice and was laid out lovely. I really cannot fault this hotel. It has such a nice calming relaxing feel to it and we absolutely loved it. We will definitely return. Outside, there are lots of good restaurants within easy walking distance without going into Protaras itself, and there's a lovely promenade to walk along by the sea. Local buses are good and cheap if you want to go into ayia napia but the hotel is such a lovely area to stay in. We rarely go to the same hotel twice but the AT Herbal, will definitely be an exception. Already recommended to friends and cannot wait to return

Great hotel, excellent food. A variety of restaurants. Excellent location. Excellent children's entertainment team. The hotel staff at the reception and in the restaurants around the pool are not welcoming, don't expect a late check out. They only approve those who book through them. Our flight is at 23:50 and we were left without showers from 13:00 even though we requested a late check-out from the day of booking.

Booked into this hotel because friends who just called in for a drink liked what they had seen. First impressions were good. Friendly receptionists and the place looked very nice. First impression of the room was that it was spacious, had a large bed and nice bathroom. On further inspection though we noticed = No tea/coffee facilities. Only 3 soft, cheap quality pillows. Bottom sheet not a fitted one and didn’t cover all of mattress. The quilt itself barely covered the bed area an it and it’s cover again seem poor quality. Mini bar had two bottles of different beer and one can of Fanta. No complimentary water offered. The only English speaking channel was a Turkish news channel. Some better points:- Shower was excellent. The sports bar was very nice, very reasonably priced with lovely staff. The restaurant food was nice but make sure you ask for time between your starter and main. In summing up this hotel I would say that with a few adjustments and and more attention to detail I would stay here again. Until then I’ll sadly give it a miss.
