Hotels Near The Watcher in Ayia Napa

Beautiful hotel with 4 pools but we only used one of the pools. Room was definitely one of the best we have stayed in with a view of the sea and town in front of us. Double bed was the largest we have slept in! Cleaners in everyday with fresh towels. Restaurant clean with nice food every night. Breakfast and lunch was nice too. A couple of things regarding the restaurant. You are not allowed to smoke outside which i do understand as people are eating but its an open outside area! Also my wife ordered Pepsi Max(only thing she drinks) throughout the 3 days and 9 out of 10 times it was flat. After a couple of days and asking questions why, we were told it s because the restaurant bar gets very busy and they prepare the drinks by half filling the glasses in advance then top it up when ordered. Obviously after an hour or so, the gas disappears and goes flat. Not very professional for a 5* hotel in my opinion. The bars in the hotel were clean and service was excellent including Nick from the pool bar. We booked the Greek night and the food was beautiful and too much for 2 people. The meze was good enough for 4 people but no complaints! Big thank you to Costas and Sophia working in the Greek restaurant. Excellent service! Also to Zoe and Maria ( not with red hair) serving in the restaurant. Thank you all. Would like to comment that we have stayed in a lot of hotels and this is the first time that no towels were allowed to be placed on sunbeds before 8 am, so no rush to go downstairs and find sunbeds. We saw a few towels on beds that were take away. Saw Mr George, the General manager of the hotel walking around checking everything was to standards and he even had time to have a chat with me. One last comment. We parked our car in the underground parking but absolutely no signs telling you where it was and once you found it, no signs to tell you where the lift is for the hotel All in all, a beautiful hotel and one that i would recommend but would say its more of an excellent 4* than 5* hotel. Thank you to all the staff that looked after us during our wedding anniversary mini break and made it special.

This is the perfect family hotel in my eyes and I keep coming back. It has large pool areas, lots of sunbeds and free beachtowles. The snackbar by the main pool has burgers, fries, pizza, sandwiches, fruits and more and there are several bars to get drinks from. The hotel area are clean and well maintained. The rooms are large and the familyrooms has 4 real beds and a sliding doors so everyone in the family can sleep well and have som privacy. The buffet restaurant has a large variety of foods every day. They have several meat and fish options, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables for every meal as well as pizza, pasta and a big dessert table. Everything is clearly markt with allergens as well as foodpreferances as vegan/vegetarian. They have several gluten-free options as well. They have lots of activities during the day and entertainment at night. Several nights a week they have live music for the more grown up audience. But the main reason that I always come back to this hotel is the staff. The way they greet you every time they see you is genuine. From the porter that carry your luggage, the man that changes your beachtowles, the staff in the bars and of course the fantastic staff in the dining room. They all seems to enjoy their work and when they come back year after year to work here it must be a nice for atmosphere and that makes me want to come back again. The way they all do their jobb with a smile on their face and they really wants to make your stay enjoyable. Can't wait to go back.

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.

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

Modern and well maintained apartahotel, in a strategic position to visit Agia Napa. Big and with everything you need. I didn't try the restaurant but it had a large selection. The only downside was that the shampoo and soap dispensers in the bathroom were empty. I would go back without a doubt.

It was excellent!!! I love everything 😍 Staff was very generous, always smiling, willing to help , room big enough, clean, and the cleaning lady did a great job!!! The pool is a haven !!! Dinner can be more tasty Breakfast is great, hotel bar recommended strongly

Excellent hotel with the friendliness most helpful staff. Exceptionally clean. Plenty of sunbeds. Right on the beach. Room was spotlessly clean and best air conditioning I have ever experienced, it was so quiet and efficient. We stayed on a b&b basis, what was perfect for us. Breakfast was good and hotel in an amazing location so lots of restaurants and bars in close walking distance. I did find it a little too quite round the pool and think it would be nice if the music that is played at the bar was also played round the pool. Couple of points to note, none of these bothered us but I thought they are things people may want to know: You get two twin beds as default, if you want a double bed you need to email the hotel in advance. Not experienced this before and the hotel quickly changed our bed but worth noting to email ahead so you don’t need to correct it once you arrive. I heard other guests saying they had to do the same so was not just us. If you want to keep the air conditioning on at night the panel that controls the lighting gives off a dull light so room not completely dark. Even though the hotel is adults only, the beach bar is open to the public and children are permitted. Not a problem for us but I know this will bother some people. The hotels Instagram page makes it appear that there is often live music at the pool bar, in our week stay we only had it once and it didn’t start until 7.30. All in all a great stay and I am sure we will be back.

Currently on or last day at the sunrise jade and am gutted to be leaving later today. Sunrise jade is an outstanding hotel in such a beautiful location overlooking the beach and in walking distance to the beautiful fig tree beach where the water is crystal clear and warm. There are also many other beaches along the promenade. Protaras strips approx 10 minute walk and we walked both the promenade and Main Street where there is a few supermarkets on route. There is a bus stop just to the right outside the donkey supermarket at for €1:50 you get a trip to Ayia Napa which we went a few nights. The hotel is honestly the best we have ever stayed in every member of staff is curtious and attentive to detail with nothing to much trouble. The food is the best we have ever had and freshly cooked both breakfast and evening meal although the option of pizza would have been good on Italian night but that’s personal preference. The cakes are to die for and if you want soup it is served to you and brought to the table. The pools are amazing and not overly busy at times you would have the whole pool to yourself. The sun lounger allocation is a game changer you can be out all morning and come back to chill on your lounger all afternoon. There is no entertainment at this hotel so if your looking for any this won’t be the one for you. Maids were amazing cleaned rooms everyday and brought beautiful chocolates every evening to the room. It’s the little things that make this hotel a definite 5* and we will deffo be returning next year. Thank you to all the staff at this wonderful hotel they are a credit to the management and hope they get the recognition they truly deserve.

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.

I want to start this review by saying that the staff at this hotel are outstanding, they go above and beyond to help, they are friendly and very hard working. However, I can’t understand how majority of the reviews for this hotel are positive from what we and other experienced from our stay. Upon arrival the hotel is clean and modern, the rooms are airy and modern and all looks very nice. I think the main issue with this place is there is far far too many guests for the amenities that the hotel has to offer. BUFFET: The buffet restaurant is absolutely tiny, every night there was a huge que wrapped all around to get to the food. This is not ideal with 2 small children when you have go back and forth separately for everyone to get their plate of food. This resulted in my partner not getting anything to eat because of the length of time it took then returning on his own at 9pm. The que went from the very first dish right to the last so it took a long time to get to the end. Not only that the food was not being replenished quick enough, everything was stone cold and the food all had a crusty top layer as if it had been standing for a long time. The food is one of the worst we have had. The hotel is aware of this issue as they had one of the staff members asking for peoples feedback and agreed it was far too small and that the hotel was looking into it. A LA CARTE: My next issue was the a la carte, there is only one included a la carte and the food here was absolutely disgusting and stone cold. The restaurant itself is outdoor but is very very dirty and unkept. While we were there the majority of people were leaving without finishing their meal. We waited over 2 hours and ended up leaving before our dessert as it was just taking so long. ENTERTAINMENT: this also wasnt great, there was only 1 thing on most nights that last 30mins-45mins and then that was it. It was out on the terrace which again there was not enough space or seats for how many guests were at the hotel. Daytime entertainment was very lacking, if you have children this is definitely not a good choice hotel for that reason. There is only 2 young girls that run entertainment during the day and they run very few activities. POOL: the pools upon arrival look great however we found these to be dirty, they all had scum rings around the outer which was never cleaned the whole time we were there, the tiles were black and mouldy in lots of places. We saw ants crawling all over the bar counters too. My suggestion to this hotel would be stop trying to make more money and concentrate on catering to the guests that have already paid a lot to stay here. Open up the paid a la carte as an option to all inclusive guests which would free up more congestion in the buffet. Open the roof top bar also as an option to all inclusive guests, not an extra charge. This would allow for more space for guests to enjoy their night rather than sitting in a small lobby for the whole duration of their holiday
