Leonardo Crystal Cove Hotel & Spa – Adults Only

Hotel staff is polite and helpful. Modern fairly big rooms that are very clean. Comfy beds and excellent buffet breakfast. Pool is small and the nearest sandy beach is 15 minutes walk

Lovely clean hotel, perfectly located near the best beach in Cyprus. Several great facilities, although their mini bar fridge is terrible, doesn't cool anything, might as well just have a cupboard there instead. Couple of decent international tv channels would be nice too.

On arrival we managed to get a last drink at the bar as we didn’t arrive until 1150pm. There was a sandwich in the fridge for us which we didn’t use in the end. The fridge actually didn’t work and was replaced the next morning with no fuss by maintenance. The hotel still has a very new look and feel about it as it is only 5 years old and all of the soft furnishings are of high quality as are the rooms. The location is a little way out of Protaras centre but a short bus ride away (101 there every 10mins and 102 back). The hotel has no beach of its own but you can walk to one if you wish in 15mins or there is a golf buggy shuttle (we didn’t use this) and walked to the beach at Konnos which was rammed as it is quite small. Food is generally of good quality if somewhat repetitive, we used the in house Italian speciality restaurant in the first week which was nice for a change and had a nice meal at Raviolli (top of the hill left out of the hotel) and one in Protaras at a nice Mediterranean restaurant. The pool area is good to chill around and the bar area serves a good choice of cocktails and liquor/beers. Big shout out for Marlon in the bar (very chatty and also efficient but moreover very amusing). Everywhere is Uber clean. Evening entertainment is available if you want it but a little hit and miss in terms of the quality of the acts. To be fair though a lot of the evenings were quite windy and cool so we stayed in doors sometimes. Would I return, I think so.

This is a very pleasant hotel where we’ve just spent an enjoyable week. It isn’t very large and is on the very edge of Protaras, alongside the national park area. This means that it is in a fairly quiet location, which suited us. As older folk we avoid areas that buzz with nightlife. There are a few restaurants and bars along the sea front as you walk towards the town, but we had all we needed at the hotel. The staff members are excellent. All are very friendly and efficient. Tasia the Guest Relations Manager is super-helpful. Many of the staff are from Nepal - and they do a great job. We were helped greatly by Puja and Ashik keep our wine glasses full in the late evenings. We thought the food was very good indeed. The Italian restaurant was also of a good standard (see photos) Katerina, the Spa manager, and her assistant Cuara were chatty and fun. They are now able to greet visitors in Welsh, which could come in handy — one day. Well, you never know :) There is no beach directly in front of the hotel. Instead there are steps from the rocks. The water was crystal clear. While many people like to sit around the pool, we preferred the more spacious lawn area. The cats kept us company on most days. I enjoyed the chance to go on long walks every morning. I hiked on the nature rail down to Cape Greco. In fact, I’ve just made a YT video of that Cape Greco walk. You can also hike up into the hills and enjoy great views. Our room, on the sixth floor, was very comfortable and well serviced by Evelyn. There are, though, a few strange features about the hotel. The first is that upon entering the lobby, you are confronted with a huge artwork of a woman who looks to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It is artistically fine, but a bit weird to greet you on your holiday. Secondly, there are no guest toilets on the first floor or anywhere near the reception area. They are down in the basement. So should you need to visit them while in the upstairs restaurant, you need to descend two floors. This seems like a design error, but it was not a great… inconvenience. At the end of every holiday we ask ourselves whether we would return. It’s a yes for this hotel.

What can I say, Leonardo Crystal Cove is honestly the best all inclusive hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Me and my husband spent 9 nights here a few days after our wedding and couldn’t have had a better time. The food was amazing, I’d have 2 plates (if I could fit it in) at every meal! The pool was lovely and chilled, we loved relaxing on the cabanas. However, if you want a cabana you’ll have to get down there early to get one but they do become free through the day. Alternatively there are loads of loungers next to the pool and on the grass area towards the back of the hotel. Just down from the grassy area you can walk down to the sea in less than a minute, there’s a small ramp to get in and out of the sea which is amazing, the sea is always warm and very easy to swim in. If you want a close beach you just have to walk along the footpath along the sea a few minutes to find a tiny beach with a little cove to swim. The staff are extremely hospitable and all so lovely but especially Marcos and Theodora on the pool bar, full of humour and always remembered what drinks we would regularly order. The spa girls are amazing and give great massages, they really know what they’re doing. The rooms are so nice, the beds are very comfortable and air con is perfect. The buses are very regular right next to the hotel, they’re only €1.50 a ticket and Protaras is only 7 mins up the road with all the restaurants, shops and more beaches. There’s a supermarket right next to the bus stop too that does everything you could need. 10/10 will definitely be back!

Great service and staff. Our only let down was lack of pool day activities as advertised. Iam all about saving the planet would be great to have a water despensor on each floor. Food was good, loved the location and free flowiing drinks. Sharing picture of the awesone team. Sorry I forgot the reception and guest relations staff and cleaners.
