Louis Althea Beach

Well what can I say. Louis Althea you blew me away. From the moment we stepped foot in the reception, as a family of 6 we were immediately upgraded to a 3 bed villa with private pool and sea views, this was in the Kalamies side of the hotel and it was so much more than expected. The food was great, everyday there was something different to choose from, the bar and entertainment teams gave it their all, had the same servers who knew our drinks. The reception and housekeeping teams couldn’t do enough for you and any requests were actioned immediately. The maintenance and pool teams were friendly and professional. The venue itself, we went end of August, peak season, and always found a few empty sun loungers without having to go and reserve any in the morning, the location to the beach, shops and bus route was great. I would definitely come back! Well done to the whole team.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The location is perfect, with a beautiful beach and everything you need for a great vacation. The food was delicious, with an incredible variety of choices every day. A special mention must go to the kitchen staff, who were truly unbelievable. We have a garlic allergy, and they went above and beyond to prepare delicious meals for us without garlic. They were always so helpful, polite, attentive, and genuinely caring. It was clear that they give their very best to make guests feel safe and well looked after. The bar was excellent, and the snacks were absolutely delicious. The pools were clean and well maintained, and the beach was simply perfect. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated having our towels changed every day. The attention to cleanliness throughout the hotel was excellent. The entertainment team was fantastic — friendly, energetic, and always doing their best to make everyone enjoy themselves. Overall, we had an amazing experience from beginning to end. The combination of the location, food, cleanliness, facilities, beach, and especially the wonderful staff made our stay truly memorable. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be coming back again and again! We even met guests who had already stayed here six times, which says a lot about how special this hotel is. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so enjoyable. We can't wait to come back! ❤️

Just arrived back from a very enjoyable and memorable 7 night stay at the Louis Althea Beach Hotel. What makes this place so wonderful is the staff who are so friendly and attentive whilst the entertainment team are absolutely fantastic.

We arrived very late on Saturday evening (just in time for a couple of drinks at the main bar!) and following a brief and informative check in, the Entertainment Manager (Ryan) introduced himself and really took the time to get to know us during our stay, especially my two boys who are 14 and 11.

Ryan and his team are a credit to the hotel and a special shout out also to Lola and Annali who always checked in on us throughout our stay and put on fantastic activities during the day such as aqua zumba, darts, football and daily music quizzes (which we won 5 times and were presented with certificates on stage during the evening entertainment!).

We stayed in two 1 bedroom suites which had everything we needed and it was great that the hotel had responded to my advanced request to place the rooms as close together as possible (rooms 411 and 408). The rooms were spacious and the sofa beds in the main living space were very comfortable for my 2 boys.

There is air con in the main room and bedroom (2 twin beds) and it was a very socialable space so my family were able to congregate together for drinks and meet ups prior to the evening meal times. The rooms were located in a beautiful landscaped area and were cleaned to a high standard every day with towels being changed too.

As we arrived late (11pm) there were sandwiches, salads and wine in our fridges which was a nice touch by the hotel. The standard of food throughout the week was excellent and there was always something available to suit our requirements. The takeaway boxes were brilliant too as this meant we could eat away from the main area if needed.

The food at the poolside bar (available from 3pm onwards) was fantastic too, with nuggets, chips, waffles, pizzas, popcorn available so we always used this to fill the gap between lunch and the evening meal and there’s a huge selection of drinks available (of which we drank many due to being on the AI package!).

The staff at the pool bar were also so friendly, made the best cocktails and were always smiling and happy to have a laugh and a joke with visitors. I should also add that all staff across the site (including reception, cleaners, lifeguards, waiters) were all very personable, polite and the hotel clearly prides itself on excellent customer service.

The setting of the hotel is beautiful with the beach a stones throw away and there is a very handy supermarket adjacent to the hotel, which was well stocked with everything you’ll need.

The entertainment was always varied - it’s the same crew but each night was different with some nights being karaoke, 70s music, legends show, bingo. Even when Ryan was unfortunately ill, the team rallied round and were able to put on shows that still kept guests entertained and happy.

We booked a boat trip during our stay, from Paralimni harbour which was 150 euros for 6 people and is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Would highly recommend as it takes in really beautiful settings such as the blue lagoon and various coves and cavers during a 3 hour trip. My kids also loved diving in the sea and being able to see various fish close up and even a giant turtle during the trip.

There are also bars, restaurants a 5 minute walk away in the town of Pernera with the Windmill Pub being a nice setting with an array of singers most nights and live sports too.

Without hesitation, I would recommend this hotel. We encountered countless people during our stay who were returning guests and I can see why as the Louis Althea Beach Hotel has so much to offer.

Thank you to the hotel for making my family and I so welcome during our stay and for the wonderful service and hospitality you provided.

We will be back…
