Tasmaria Aparthotel

This hotel is very good value and the owner is kind. You get an entire apartment (with a kitchen, living room, and a balcony) for the price of a room. The apartment was clean, cozy, and even nicer than it looks in the pictures. There is a pool and a bar, though I didn’t have the time to use either. The owner kindly allowed me to keep my luggage in a check in area after checkout til my scheduled bus in the evening. All in all, great stay.

Very disappointed on arrival, but it was 10pm, and been travelling all day. In daylight, the place is a cross between Hi de Hi, and a prison camp. So 1970’s. The bed was extremely hard. Aircon was €8 per day extra. No view whatsoever from the room. No food at the bar, apart from Toasties. The only lager on draft was local. There was a Krombaka pump, but they didn’t sell it ! People have praised how clean the apartments were. Not mine. The work tops were not wiped down, and the Underside of the Toilet seat was not cleaned in 5 days . Not good. You cannot even take a bottle of water down to the pool. It has to be bought at the bar, or not at all, and there are many reminders of this ! Last , but not least, the showers were DANGEROUS . There is a problem with the cold water supply. It surges. That’s ok in a sink,(no plugs to found!) but the Hot water is Scalding, so in the Shower, it goes from warm to RED HOT, without warning. Drinks at the bar are Expensive. This is not manned all the time. You have to ring the bell, and someone will eventually come. This all sounds very negative, and I realise that. So let’s balance it up a bit. It is in a Fabulous location. Turn left, or turn right, you have an amazing choice of bars and Restaurants. You are on a bus route, so you can go up to Coral Bay, off down to the Town centre. Nearest beach is 10 min walk away. Maybe not the prettiest, but others are not far away. Loads of Car Hire places, and not expensive either.

Aircon only in the bedroom was rubbish, not worth the 8 euros a day, if ur out all day, the room is boiling.You can't eat/drink around the unless u buy it there! self catering?? They had no ice lolly so i brought one from shop oppersite,i was told if the boss sees me i be told off I wish he had,i would of told him.very unfriendly staff. Towels looked like they cleaned the floor with them,group of down and outs outside my balcony for 3 days, not the hotel fault, but he should have contacted the police sooner. I chose this hotel as reviews said it was friendly its not my experience, we was ignored the whole week,ppl around the pool said the same,more life if Famagusta than here..one couple wanted a drink, the barman walked passed her 3 times, he was more interested in the football,I could go on and on.. the pool and pool area is lovely and so are the rooms fully equipped with all you need.. I just felt like a naughty child having to keep going to my room every 5 mins for a drink in 35° heat. Would I recommend this hotel to my friends? definitely not, Good job we hired a car i wouldn't want to be around this place all day especially a lone traveller...such a shame how just ppl can let a place down.
