Alva Hotel Apartments

This hotel was a great find and fantastic value for money. We arrived late in the evening and initially we were disappointed with our room as it was a bit dated. However, by the morning this was all forgotten about as it had everything we needed and was extremely clean. The view from the balcony was fantastic. The room also had good air con. We stayed on a Half Board basis: and it was better than we could have ever imagined. Breakfast was a bit basic in the morning but had a good enough variety. One morning the food looked a bit dried up, but we just asked for fresh food and there was no problem! Coffee from the machine was fine. The best bit was the evening meal. We were the only guests staying Half Board, so instead of a buffet, we just ordered what we wanted from the menu in the restaurant. The food was great! We had something different every night but the Pizza from Flox was amazing. The staff were very friendly all day every day. The pool was great, plenty of sunbeds and a good wee pool bar that played decent holiday music. The hotel is a 3 minute walk from Fig Tree Bay, which is very busy! I would definitely return. The reason I’m not giving 5* is the noise in the evening. If you don’t have earplugs I suggest you invest in a pair. The Love Boat bar is right next door and goes in until after 1am. The cleaners are fantastic, however the trolleys start rolling up and down the corridors pretty early! So not the best sleep during the week (although younger ones might be happy enough with that). Overall it was a great place to stay with the positives outweighing the negatives. I’d definitely stay again. Thanks to everyone at Alva!

Very well located apartment hotel in Protaras. Nice pool and just a few steps from the beautiful Fig Tree Bay beach. The room is somewhat dreary and not too cozy but it definitely has everything you need - especially in the kitchen. Easy to make your own breakfast and enjoy it on the balcony.  The bed and the pillow were not the best and the safety box didn't have a key but overall we were very happy with the room. One incident to mention though; we had a late flight home so we asked the reception for a late check out. We were told it was not possible because there was a reservation for our room immediately after us. Instead they suggested we leave our bags in the luggage room, spend the day at the pool and then go take a shower in a separate shower room. So this is what we did, except we left our bags near the reception since the luggage room is a completely open, unlocked space in another building where anyone can just walk in. Anyway, after we had spent the day by the pool we went to the reception to ask for a hairdryer to borrow for the shower room. There was a different receptionist now who told us there were no dryers to give. When we were a bit disappointed she said "usually in these cases guests ask for a late check out". She seemed quite surprised when we said we did ask the day before. Se started  checking the reservations book and looked even more surprised after looking. She said nothing but her facial expression suggested there may not have been a reservation in our room. Which was also our view of the situation, since we could see our room from the pool and no one showed up by the time we left. That left us wondering if we were lied to and why we couldn't get the late check out. The shower room (through the sign "staff only", next to what seemed to be cleaners break room) was obviously not meant for guests and there was only cold water in the shower. This left a little bit of a bad taste in out mouths but otherwise our stay was nice. A tip; the FLOX Pizzeria connected to the hotel is very, very good!!!

First time I have been to Protaras and I’m glad we chose this place. Well located near the end of the ***** and across the road from Fig Tree Bay. We stayed in a studio apartment 452 which had a lovely sea view. Wi-Fi wasn’t great in the room, I assume that it’s because it’s the furthest away from main building, and the noise from the closest bar goes on until one in the morning. However, once the your balcony doors are closed and the air con is blasting it’s not a big problem. You can always join in the fun as the bar, the Loveboat, has decent entertainment. The staff in the hotel are really friendly and helpful. We had a couple of maintenance issues which were quickly resolved. We had friends staying in a one bedroom studio and it was a real step up in class. Might upgrade when we definitely return in the future.

Excellent hotel. Very clean and staff absolutely brilliant. Hotel is at the end of the ***** and close to fig tree bay beach. Also close to bars and restaurants. Would give this hotel 110%. I have been to several different hotels in Protaras but this one is my favourite.

This property was a great place to stay. We have been coming for 25 years of which owning for 14 years. We will definitely come back.

Very courteous and attentive to your needs with a smile.

We had a fantastic family holiday at the Alva. It's in a great position central to all the many many restaurants ( with fantastic food and options), bars and shops. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable and cleaned every day with fresh towels. The kitchen area is basic but funtional with an under counter fridge, toaster, kettle and a two pan electric hob. The air conditioning serves the room very well. The pool area is good with a small bar. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. And it's literally a 2 or 3 minute walk to the beach. The resort was pretty busy but it's a family resort so no ****** and wasn't very expensive to dine out (which we did every night). We thought it was cheaper than the canaries and some of the Greek island resorts we've been to. So yeah, all in all it was perfect for us and would 100% stay there again if we were doing Cyprus.

We had a wonderful time Hotel apartments bright and clean All staff excellent can not fault them at all A big thank you to all reception,cleaners,to bar staff
