Louis St. Elias Resort & Waterpark

I had high expectations after reading other Trip Adviser reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The hotel was clean, well kept and the staff were amazingly attentive. The pool areas were ideal for our children aged 7 & 11 and it was the best AI food we've had with something for everyone and well presented. It is set back from the strip but we preferred that so you could venture into the busier areas of Protaras when you wanted or enjoy the tranquility of the hotel. A special mention to the Manager Flouris who went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. I'm not one for making return visits to the same hotel but I would make an expectation for St Elias due to the great management by Flouris and we have so many great memories of our time there!

My partner and I stayed for a week in September and had the best time! We were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff after a late flight, including the hotel manager, who is a credit to his hotel! He couldn’t have done more, always checking up on us throughout our stay and chatting to all of the guests. All staff were extremely attentive and friendly, and nothing was ever too much of an ask. The apartments are very spacious with lots of storage space. I love that the hotel is laid out like a village with bungalows! The food was also amazing, great quality and so tasty- we didn’t get bored of it at all like at some all inclusive hotels! There are themed nights every night (such as Italian night, Mexican night, East Asian night and Peruvian night) and there’s something for everyone! There is a snack bar which serves toasties, burgers, chips etc all day too. The drinks are great, shout-out to the strawberry daiquiri! Also the milkshakes are to die for. There are 2 pool areas, one large pool with slides which seemed busier where lots of pool activities take place, then a quieter pool which has more of a relaxed feel, where mainly adults seem to stay around. We never struggled to get a sunbed which is a huge perk for me too. The hotel has a free shuttle bus operating every hour down to fig tree bay, dropping off down the strip too. However, the hotel is not too far of a walk to the strip, and we often walked down anyway (taking 10-15 minutes) so don’t let the location put you off! Protaras is a wonderful resort with so much to offer. Finally there are lots of beautiful cats around the hotel, they are so friendly and sweet, and very much add to the village feel of the hotel! Please do take care of them We will 100% be returning to this hotel, thank you to the staff for making our stay so brilliant! Jess and Charlie
