Narcissos Waterpark Resort

Just got back from a 10 night stay here!

The hotel is fine, like every budget all inclusive, if your expecting the Savoy, you will be disappointed, if your more realistic and easy going, then you will have a great time! The food is really good, lots of options and plenty of it, it does get abit repetitive after a week, but at the end of the day this is an All inclusive hotel, and i think it was more home comforts we was missing, such as Proper Ketchup, Yorkshire tea bags, typical brits abroad! I will say, if you like toast with your breakfast, pack your Toaster! There is only 1 hotel style toaster that runs on a belt, and the Que in a morning is ridiculous as it is so slow, especially when you have people making 10/15 slices for the whole family, which is fair enough obviously if you have kids, but they definitely need to invest in another, or Two! It’s probably quicker to get a flight home, make your toast and come back with it!

The rooms are Decent, they have everything you need and nothing more, bathrooms are good with a decent shower, the Balconys on the right hand (older side) side of the hotel are tiny, so if you like to gather as a family in the evening and have a drink, it will be a sqeeze!

The location is Good, it says online 10/15 minutes walk into the centre of protaras, this is a lie, it takes about 50 minutes, but the bus is only €2 for adults and €1 for kids and that drops you off right in the middle, runs till late at night and stops right outside the hotel! There are 2 shops outside the hotel, avoid the one closest with the Yellow exterior, and walk the 50 yards down the road to the next one in red. its literally half the price, for example i went to purchase my son a Ball for the pool, the first shop wanted €20, the one 50 yards away, £9.50 for the exact same ball, noticed similar differences on alot of items in the shop! Trust me that extra few steps will save you a fortune!

The pool is really good, the animation team never stop they are the beating heart of the hotel, absolutely outstanding and i hope the get the recognition they deserve! the pool side quiz is always good in the afternoon and there is plenty going on, its very relaxed, you are aloud your inflatables and footballs, snorkels and whatever else, just no diving! The evening entertainment is also good, Kids disco followed by bingo where you can win some money, then an evening show such as Bob Marley or Abba tribute, or Karaoke night, we even had a Parrot show which was…. Interesting, but still entertained the kids!

The drinks situation is abit frustrating, you have to join a que ans their is only 1 bar, it doesn’t take long granted, but most hotels these days are self serving, especially on soft drinks, coffee and Lager, but here you have to join the que which can be annoying at times, however they definitely are not shy, if you want 10 alcohol drinks at a time they will give it you, of course you will probably drown in it before it gets your drunk like every all inclusive, but its still worth it.

The next snag, which for me is the biggest of all, the walls are totally paper thin, as are the doors, and you can hear absolutely everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, make of that what you will….! We had the unfortunate experience of having to listen to a Scottish woman on her balcony until 3am for the first few nights, im sure she was having a conversation with her self half of the time, but she mayaswell of been sat at the end of the bed she was that loud, it left us tired and groggy in the day time, but thankfully she went home!

The Hotel could be improved massively without much cost, just small things that make big difference!

In summary, i would Honestly, i would recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Super food, staff and atmosphere !
