Anmaria Beach Hotel

The hotel was advertised as a 4-star hotel, but in reality it was nowhere near a 4-star standard. There was only one pool bar for all-inclusive guests, with practically nowhere else to sit or relax. There was no proper café or restaurant area, and the breakfast was absolutely terrible, with very limited and poor-quality options.

Overall, a very disappointing experience and definitely not what you would expect from a 4-star hotel.

Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing stay, and I don’t write negative reviews lightly. We’re usually the type of people who just get on with whatever we’re given, but this experience was genuinely unacceptable. On arrival, the room we were given was damp and had mould in the bathroom. The smell of damp and mould was noticeable in the sheets and even inside the wardrobe. We spoke to reception and were initially advised to liaise with Jet2. We attempted to contact Jet2 but couldn’t get through. After speaking to reception again and making it clear that we would not be sleeping in that room, we were eventually moved to a room on the first floor. Thankfully, the second room was much better and actually looked like what you would expect from a 4-star hotel. Quite honestly, this is how all of the rooms should look. The buffet was diabolical. I genuinely can’t believe how poor it was. If you’re considering going all-inclusive, I’d seriously reconsider, as for the most part you’ll probably find yourself eating out. The snack bar was much better and did the job — just order your food once you’re seated at the pool bar. The pool area itself was decent, although we did have an issue with insects. We had to buy spray because we were all bitten numerous times. It’s such a shame because we booked this hotel based on the reputation of other Nelia hotels, having previously had really enjoyable experiences with them. Unfortunately, this hotel did not live up to those expectations. I also have to question the advertising of the hotel as “new for 2026”. That certainly wasn’t our experience. There are so many beautiful hotels in Cyprus, and unfortunately, based on our stay, we wouldn’t recommend this one. Do your research and consider the alternatives before booking.
