The Royal Apollonia

We landed very early in Larnaca Cyprus and had to wait till 2pm in the Royal Apollonia hotel lounge to get a room, which wasn't optimal, so the very next day the hotel manager, responsible for booking, kindly upgraded us to an ocean front view (an absolute must for this hotel) The rest of the stay was amazingly taken care of by a wonderful staff, attentive to our needs. A special thank to the remarkable headwaiter Costas, for his attention to details during our breakfast and dinner. Another thanks for an extremely difficult but well done job by Yiorgos, the service manager, who solved all kinds of issues arising daily. The 3 restaurants pretty young headchef Panagiotis, was remarkably flexible and creative, in the making of our special diet menu (gluten free dairy free) and produced some excellent dishes. Paulina was such an understanding and caring food manager too. All together I would recommend this hotel. Nice beach (dark sand and rocks beware). Great clean swimming pool with a bar, a jacuzzi and one pool for the little ones. Impeccable constant cleaning of the surroundings. I woke up at 5.30 am to watch the sunrise and the staff was actively cleaning the sunbeds, umbrellas, staking towels etc...This place had everything needed to enjoy ourselves and de-stress from our busy life. This experience made us want to try other locations from that chain...
