Toxotis Hotel Apartments

"This will probably be one of the most honest reviews you’ll read, purely because I’m writing it whilst we’re still here enjoying our holiday! We came as a family of six, including our 8-month-old baby, and I wanted to give a genuine review of our experience so far. Food – Better Than Some Reviews Suggest! Before arriving, I’d read plenty of reviews with people complaining about the food. However, I genuinely believe you get what you pay for, and personally, I think the food has been good! One of the biggest positives is the variety. There are nine different themed dinner nights, including BBQ & Grill, Asian, Mexican, Cyprus Night and plenty of others. The Mexican night has easily been our favourite, whilst the Asian night probably wasn’t the best, but that’s personal preference! Of course, I’ve heard people complaining about the food whilst we’ve been here, but realistically, with that much variety, you’re not going to please everyone. Something worth mentioning for families with babies is that our 8-month-old has been eating the food here too! We brought plenty of baby food from home just in case, but we’ve barely needed to use it. None of the six of us have had any upset stomachs or issues with the food whatsoever. The Hotel & Grounds The hotel itself is actually really nice. From what I understand, it was previously known as the “Ghost Hotel”, so I’m assuming it’s been bought out and is now undergoing redevelopment or improvements. You can definitely see the potential here. I genuinely believe that in a few years’ time, with continued investment and improvements, this could become one of the best-value hotels in the area. It’s certainly not perfect, but I think some people forget the price they’ve paid when comparing it with more expensive resorts. And most importantly looks exactly like the photos on the website Cleaning & Housekeeping Now, one thing that has been slightly annoying is the cleaners! They certainly do their jobs, which is obviously a positive, but they can be a little persistent. We’ve had them knocking on our door at around 8:30 in the morning asking to clean the room. After telling them to come back later, they’ve returned just 15 minutes afterwards! It’s not a massive problem for us, but I can absolutely understand how this might frustrate people who want a lie-in or a relaxing morning, especially when you’re on holiday. Drinks & Bars The beer is actually pretty good! They advertise it as Kappa, but from what I’ve seen, they have KEO (the local Cypriot beer) on the kegs. There’s also a decent selection of spirits, including Malibu, vodka, white rum, dark rum, as well as white wine and rosé. For an all-inclusive hotel at this price point, I personally think the drinks selection is perfectly reasonable. Pergola, Entertainment & Lunch Options At the back of the complex, there’s a pergola area which is used for evening entertainment. During the afternoon, it’s also a great spot to grab some lunch, with options including burgers, club sandwiches, pasta and other lighter meals. It’s a nice alternative to the main restaurant, particularly if you don’t fancy a full buffet lunch. Swimming Pools & Sunbeds The pool area is lovely and one of the highlights for us as a family. One thing we particularly like is the double sunbeds, which are brilliant when you’ve got a little one with you. It makes relaxing around the pool much easier, especially when you’re trying to keep everyone together. Just be carful of the floor as there has been reports of people slipping, but take it slow and don’t rush about you’re on holiday Overall – Would I Recommend It? Absolutely, especially for families looking for an affordable all-inclusive holiday. Is it a luxury five-star resort? No. But I don’t think it claims to be, and I think that’s where some of the negative reviews are a little unfair. You’re getting a hotel with good facilities, plenty of food variety, decent drinks, nice swimming pools and entertainment, all for what I consider to be good value for money. There are definitely areas that could be improved, and I’m not going to pretend everything is perfect. But we’re here as a family of six, including an 8-month-old baby, and we’re genuinely enjoying ourselves. My biggest advice to anyone considering booking is to come with realistic expectations. Don’t expect five-star luxury if you’re paying for a budget-friendly all-inclusive holiday. I think this hotel has a lot of potential, and if the improvements continue, I can see it becoming one of the best-value options in the area over the next few years. And unlike some reviews written weeks after people have returned home, this is coming from someone who’s actually sitting here at the hotel writing it! Would we come back? Based on our experience so far, yes!"

"We chose it bexasue we were assured that out diary issues - DONOT o not go if you have serious dietary requirements. Such as coeliac - They do not uphold their end of a bargain having asked before booking after booking and just before departing the uk to assurances they will be able to cater - apparently a huge plate of dry meat and some veg is a suitable choice with only one desert option. We expected more I wrote a complaint and showed the restaurant staff - who behaved like a manager to be told to email it! The music in the pool side is over loud and consistently the same records over and over for the whole week so far! Poor covers and no change of tempo or choic just loud The rooms are basic beds hard 3x a adults in two singles and a very narrow sofa bed ! 3 times we have had to ask for more toilet paper and shower mats to be delivered when complaining we’re told to put here as nothing would be done unless it’s on here ! Evening entertainment is poor at best"

"Lovely modern hotel with an excellent location. Staff were brilliant and very welcoming. The food was great with a good choice and selection, lots of lounger choices by the pool too. We thought it was excellent value for money and better than we expected."
