Stamatia Hotel

As soon as you arrive at the Stamatia Hotel, you’ll be itching to go for a dip in the kidney-bean shaped pool. It’s accompanied in the sun terrace by two smaller splash pools for little ones, one of which has a colourful waterfall that kids will love. It’s in a prime location, too, slotted between Ayia Napa’s harbour and its sandy beach.

There’s a whole string of bars and restaurants to try within a stone’s throw of the hotel, but you might find it hard to tear yourself away from the bars and restaurant within the grounds. The Seagull Restaurant offers a buffet of local and international dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect regular show cooking, too, where you can watch your food go from pan to plate. For drinks and snacks during the day, the Poseidon Pool Bar has you covered. And after dark, the Siesta Bar takes care of cocktails.
