The King Jason Protaras - Designed for Adults

"We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at The King Jason in Protaras, and it genuinely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the whole experience was first class. The staff are exceptional. Every member of the team we encountered was friendly, welcoming, professional and genuinely seemed to care about making sure guests had a great holiday. A special mention has to go to Elena, Bogdan, Vesko, Samir, Tarek, Andre and Maria, who were all fantastic and really helped make our stay so enjoyable. They are a credit to the hotel. The location is superb, with beautiful coastal views and easy access to some of the best scenery around Protaras. The views from the hotel are particularly impressive, and sitting enjoying a drink while looking out towards the sea is exactly what you want from a Mediterranean holiday. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained. Everywhere you looked, the attention to cleanliness was obvious, from the rooms and communal areas through to the poolside and restaurants. Our room was comfortable, beautifully presented and had a wonderful view. The food was another highlight. There was a great choice, everything we tried was fresh and well prepared, and there was enough variety that we never felt we were eating the same thing day after day. The quality was consistently very good. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was relaxed and friendly, which made it very easy to switch off and enjoy the holiday. The pool area was lovely, and the whole hotel has a quality feel without becoming stuffy or pretentious. If I had to identify one criticism, it would be the sunbed situation. Unfortunately, the usual suspects were out at around 7am putting towels on sunbeds, despite not actually using them for hours afterwards. It would be great to see the hotel take a firmer approach to this, as there really is no need for guests to feel that they have to get up at the crack of dawn just to secure a sunbed. That aside, we honestly couldn't fault the place. The King Jason is a superb hotel with an outstanding team, fantastic location, beautiful views, excellent cleanliness and very good food. What really sets it apart, though, is the staff. People like Elena, Bogdan, Vesko, Samir, Tarek, Andre, Maria and many more, make a holiday memorable. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The King Jason and would happily return. A thoroughly enjoyable stay from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"This was our first stay at King Jason Protaras and from the moment we arrived in the very early hours, we were made to feel welcome. The reception staff were lovely and took us straight to our room. Waking up the next morning to that view was amazing. The hotel is beautiful, spotlessly clean and in a fantastic location. Being a smaller hotel gives it such a personal feel – the staff remember you, what you drink and all the little things you like. The staff are quite simply exceptional. We’ve stayed in a lot of hotels over the years, but I genuinely don’t think we’ve ever had service as attentive as we did here. Maria in the restaurant is an absolute diamond. Always smiling, friendly and so attentive. She knew what I wanted to drink at mealtimes before I knew myself and kept me topped up throughout – which probably explains a few unplanned afternoon snoozes on my sun lounger! 😂 Dennis was also brilliant and seemed to work tirelessly. He was constantly bringing drinks from the bar and coming around the pool taking orders. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we certainly never got the chance to be thirsty! Andre was another one who made our holiday – always smiling, always up for a laugh and nothing was too much trouble. This included the night we jokingly asked for 24 Baby Guinness and, much to our amusement, 24 Baby Guinness actually appeared! 😂 Lesson learned – don’t jokingly order drinks from Andre because he WILL deliver! Abdul, the lifeguard, was another character who added plenty of laughs to our days around the pool. Such a genuinely lovely, funny guy. The manager also deserves a special mention, although unfortunately I can’t remember his name. He seemed to know straight away that we were new guests and came over to introduce himself and ask how long we were staying. Towards the end of the holiday he overheard us asking if there was any chance of keeping our room later because we had such a late flight home. He came over, told us he was working on it and then came back to us having actually made it happen. Things like that really do make a difference. He was always around during mealtimes too, speaking to guests, checking everything was running smoothly and making sure everyone was happy. You could tell he genuinely cared about people having a good stay. The service throughout this hotel is exceptional and I think that clearly comes from the top. There are honestly so many other members of staff we could mention. The whole team work incredibly hard but somehow manage to make the service feel really personal. We were completely spoiled and they’ve definitely set the bar ridiculously high for wherever we stay next! Pools & sunbeds The pool areas are lovely and the large round daybeds on the raised platforms overlooking the pools are gorgeous. On the mornings we happened to be up early enough, we managed to get one and loved sitting there. We’re definitely not early risers though and thankfully you don’t need to be! We never had a problem getting sunbeds throughout our stay, so there was none of the dreaded getting-up-at-dawn, towel-under-the-arm sunbed dash! Our room We had a sea-view suite on the third floor and it was beautiful – spacious, spotlessly clean and with a fabulous view. If I had to find a slight negative, it would be the balcony. We like to sit outside and although you could, ours was quite small and felt a little tight. When we return, we’ll definitely try to request a room with a larger balcony. The other small issue for us was the air conditioning. I believe it’s capped at around 18°C and personally we would have liked the room considerably cooler. Neither of these things would stop us returning, but a bigger balcony and colder air conditioning would have made the room perfect. Food & drinks The food was fabulous. Because of my dietary preferences, all-inclusive hotels can sometimes be difficult for me, but not here. There was always a good variety and if I couldn’t find a meal suitable for me, they would simply make something for me. You really don’t get that level of service everywhere. And finally – proper coffee! 😂 Anyone who loves coffee will understand the holiday struggle. Fabulous coffee at breakfast and pretty much any type of coffee you wanted throughout the day. The drinks were just as good. If they had the ingredients, they’d make it. Our favourites were the Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz and Floral Whisper, while the rosé Prosecco became more of a necessity for me at mealtimes than an optional extra! 😂 And apparently ordering 24 Baby Guinness isn’t a problem either! Location The location honestly couldn’t be much better. You’re right by beautiful Fig Tree Bay, with the promenade directly in front of the hotel. Turn left and you’re straight towards Protaras, turn right and there are some lovely coastal walks. We even managed to get ourselves up at 5:45am to watch the sunrise one morning – quite an achievement for us 😂 – and it was absolutely worth the alarm. So peaceful and definitely one of those holiday moments we’ll remember. The beach is directly at the back of the hotel and you’ve got watersports on the doorstep. We also hired a private boat from the seafront for a few hours to explore the coastline, which I’d definitely recommend. It was one of the highlights of our holiday and such a lovely way to see more of the area. Overall King Jason Protaras is a beautiful, immaculate hotel in an amazing location, but the staff are what really make this place special. The attention, friendliness and genuinely personal service is something we haven’t experienced anywhere else. From remembering our drinks to keeping us entertained around the pool, the whole team genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. There are a couple of tiny things we’d change – a bigger balcony and colder air conditioning – but neither would put us off returning. In fact, we’re already talking about “next time”, which probably says everything. Thank you to Maria, Dennis, Andre, Abdul, the manager and the whole King Jason team for completely spoiling us. You’ve made going back to normal service very difficult"

"Brilliant hotel with superb staff. They cannot do enough for you. This is true from the manager down to all levels. Mr Nicholas Nicoli regularly chats to his guests and ensures that all is well. While the entertainment is low key, it is what you expect from this adults only hotel. The bar service day and night is nothing short of exceptional. The names of the staff are too many to single out but they should all take pride in the client comments. The main restaurant is also superb so much so that the à la carte area is understandably underused. We will definitely return."
