Hotels near Potamossias waterfall in Pano Platres

Went 30 December 2022 to spent the last couple of days of the year in what it supposed to be a cosy mountainous hotel set up. It was just that. A cosy refurbished old hotel in the middle of a forest, a short walking distance from Platres village. There is a huge history concerning the role the hotel played as the place for the rich and famous in the early 20th century until the end of the 80's. Royals, movie stars and wealthy individuals stayed at the hotel, photos of which are everywhere. The room was clean, the temperature was perfect and everything worked just fine. The a la cart menu offers few choices, but the food quality was above average to our satisfaction. Not expensive as well. The wine list was short and was focused to local wineries from which there was a handful of worth to try (if you are familiar with the local varieties or if you can get help from the head waiter). Excellent service at the restaurant, smiling faces everywhere and helpful staff in every corner. Taking under consideration the fact that is a facility deep in the forest, old and with a well established mountainous character, it is unfair to judge the simplicity of the design or the lack of 5 modern star building materials. You get what you pay and that is not a high end 21st century super luxury hotel. There is of course room for improvement starting from the unacceptable condition of the private road when you enter the gates heading upwards for the Hotel (about 4 hundred meters). It's totally destroyed and no maintenance have been taken place for decades. There is no lighting to help you avoid the holes so if you are not cautious your car might end up with some kind of damage. If this piece of road is part of the land that belongs to the hotel , then this is totally unacceptable. Generally though a good experience.

First time in Cyprus, I never wanted to come again. It's desolate, nothing fun, the seaside is okay, the commercial street is poor. Talk about the hotel, because it is close to the customer, so book this hotel, although not at the beach. But the distance is also very close, walking about 2 kilometers to the seaside tourist area. The hotel is ok, but it should be soon after the renovation, the room smells a little, I am sensitive to the smell, so I opened the window to sleep. No food around the hotel, only a supermarket. Ice cream shop. The hotel is nice and clean. The network is average, and the signal on the bed is very poor, even Ctrip cannot open it. Breakfast is good, everything, can meet nutritional needs. If you go to the airport, you can ask the hotel to call travel express for 13 euros. Pick up at the hotel and then take you to the airport. Otherwise, take a taxi for 10 euros to the station, and the bus costs 9 euros, which is very frustrating. Try to live in high floors and have a good view.

We made a reservation through phone for 4 bedrooms 1 month before the arriving time. When we called 2-3 day before that day, we were told that only 3 rooms are available. As we did not want to cancel our long-weekend 2 of my friends decided to share a room. When we arrived ( and later on when I mentioned this) the owners NEVER said ' Sorry' !!! The old lady owner's comments was : 'Mistakes happen' which is true BUT TO SAY 'SORRY ' WOULD BE ESSENTIAL!!!! Due their mistake we were given rooms not in the main building so we had a restricted view of Omega beach. Moreover, although my friends were old , we were given rooms on the 1st floor which due the steps ( not well lightened during night) made for my friends difficult to reach their room. Rooms had also problems: electricity/TV/hair dryer weren't working, balcony door could not be close properly, toilette flusher got stacked and water was continuously running in the toilette. One positive point that when we complained an old man came soon and tried his best to solve the problem. He was the nicer person from all employees we met there. Rooms had the basic furniture and they were clean, except some smudges on the walls. . BUT only one bedside lamp and not even one glass!! Bathrooms were nicely designed and towels were clean. Breakfast area had a disgusting strong oily smell all day around. Breakfast was very poor, Omelets probably weren't done from fresh eggs as it were served in cubes!! Only one kind of marmalade (probably the same would cost to have at least 2 different one.!!) As about the cleanliness of the coffee /milk pots-they were dirty outside and full with smudged fingerprints. But the worst was the cheep blue supermarket 'Sailor' salt which we had on our table. it was sticky and dirty!!! Next to our table , to separate it from the 'parking'( it is just a plot between the 2 buildings of the hotel, not even a path/steps leading from one building to the other) was a badly hanged plastic. How much would cost to put some nicer stuff there??? The worse came when at the time of check-out we mentioned some of the technical problems in order to help the owners to avoid problems with next guests. The middle aged women (??owner) approach was ABSOLUTELY negative. And again we did not hear the word :SORRY. Maybe they not even know that word??? IT IS TIME TO LEARN TO BE POLITE, TIME TO MAKE MINIMAL IMPROVEMENTS. It is a shame that all these problems brought us negative emotions on that beautiful and unspoiled area of Cyprus.

We stayed here recently. This is quite a stunning hotel very near to beach & harbour. Splendid location & the hotel is modern whilst still retaining its historical charm. The rooms as beautifully furnished & luckily enough we had a rear side room that was away from a late night club oposite. We had one super interaction with Aggis who served our breakfast on 2 of our days. He was polite, friendly & efficient although on his own with quite a few tables to cover. So thank you Aggis for your kindness. However 2 things that disappointed & unfortunately stops me marking 5/5 Our room had a toilet beyond the shower cubical & you needed to transit the shower area to get to the toilet. Now if someone has had a shower you need to transit a wet area to get to the toilet. Also the screen for the toilet / shower area did not go up to the ceiling so very limited privacy. Not good in my eyes. We were on a b/b package & was told that we could order anything from the menu that had individually priced items for those either on a room only basis or non residents. My wife ordered a second Americano that the receptionist who was doubling as a server deemed we should pay €4 Euros for. My point is is that l could of had anything from the menu & not paid more but have 2 coffees & the hotel wants to squeeze another €4 from you. We paid about €450 for our stay so felt it was penny pinching I paid but was not happy

Very tired hotel, rooms minimal rather scruffy and needs a good update, staff helpful and food ok, no tea making facilities but asked and they were provided, had problems with the toilet backing up but fixed quickly by the staff, I think it’s a common problem as the original hotel has 3 more floors added to the original, it’s a noisy location with lots of boy racers blasting around in the evening, lots of building work going on adjacent buildings. ”SPA “is in the basement again very tired and not inviting at all, you have to pass the garage spaces so lots of exhaust smells and past the janitors room reeking of tobacco smoke,. Shower area to spa was also very tired , sauna not working and controls broken. Outside pool ok ( very cold at this time of the year) but the view is not and photographs on the website make it look much better than it is. Lovely view of the rubbish bin and car park, Wouldn’t stay again, luckily it was a base for meeting friends elsewhere.

The staff are fantastic, all very efficient and friendly; they all do a great job. The swimming pools are very nice, both indoor and outdoor. It is a large resort and it was not full when we visited so it felt peaceful, I am not sure how that would compare to peak season. The main reason for my low rating is that I booked a junior suite months in advance and specifically asked for a quiet room. We were assigned a room above the kitchen (noisy and smelly), next to the tavern restaurant and to the noisy generator/pool engine (or whatever it is, but very noisy all day and night). The window also faced the busy stairs that lead to the restaurant and beach....so not my idea of quiet at all. The decor is dated but that could be acceptable. The bed (king bed made up as two singles pushed together with 2 sets of duvets) had a very uncomfortable mattress and the pillows were lumpy. This is not acceptable in a high starred hotel, in my opinion. When I mentioned this at check out, the lady suggested that next time I book a more expensive suite.... We had one dinner at the restaurant and while the food was good, it was extremely expensive for what if was. Breakfast was good, nothing special. On a bright note they seem to have adopted a large number of cats and they seem to take good care of them.

The hotel is located at the seaside, a four-star hotel, with convenient eating and drinking nearby, sunny beaches, and natural baths everywhere, but the bathrooms in the rooms not close to the seaside are narrower, the hotel's WI-FI signal is average, if you come on vacation, it is not good Two choices
