- Review Submitted: July 28, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009The desciption of the apartment and the photos were absolutely correct. Although the nearest beach is only 500 m from the apartment, is is worth driving 5km to the nicer beach. The property is clean, and the environment is quiet, which is very nice. The swimming pool is lovely for children, especially to swim in the evenings. It was unusual for me that the keys was sent from UK, and I had to send it back by the end of my holiday. I would prefer some kind of reception. In this case we could have got the deposit back after leaving the apartment. It was difficult to send the payment in GBP without being charged by the bank. (Because we have only an account in Euro.) Rating - 4/5
- Review Submitted: October 20, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009We stayed for the first 2 weeks in October. I have a family of four, me the Mrs our daughter of 8 and our son who is 19 months . We flew from Gatwick to Larnaca and picked up our pre ordered rent-a-car from the air port - we used Steves directions which led us without a hitch direct to the front door. There is an allocated parking bay located close to the apartment After some bad apartment experiences in the past in Greece we were always apprehensive about what to expect, however on opening the apartment door we were blown away by the quality of the place. The apartment is contemporary, stylishly furnished, well layed out and equipped to accomadate you no matter how long your stay. We set up the sofa bed for our daughter and used the provided travel cot for our son. The appartment is a brilliant size and the air conditioning is fantastic. The beds are comfy, a great shower / bath. The kitchen is equipped well with all the mod cons.
The swimming pool is spitting distance, and a great finish to a day on the beach.
Most evening we found ourselves walking into Capparis most nights for a bite to eat. Our favourites were Falios on a Thursday night where they have live greek music - we stayed one eveing to the early hours and danced to the traditional music with the locals. We had a fantastic Meze at a great price. We also enjoyed the Karas Tavern were they serve a fantastic mixed grill and my favourite the octopus, the family who run this made us feel at home. We also had fantastic meals at Tonys and the China House.
A few evenings we went into Protaras for a bite and had a great time.
There is a great beach walking distance from the apartment which we used once, but once we visited Fig Tree Bay which is a short drive away we found it hard to settle for anthing else it really was fantastic.
Overall our holdiay was great, I would certainly recommend Steves place, i have no doubt that if we had any issues over there they would have been sorted in jiffy either by Steve or Keith who are all more than contactable. So to power phrase "Its really nice and i would go again!"
Thanks Steve we had a great time. Rating 5/5 - Review Submitted: October 1, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009Just got back from a fantastic lazy two week break in September. This apartment has all the comforts you could wish for and was cleaned to a very high standard. Using the internet, we pre booked a hire car (250 euro)and picked up direct from the airport. It could'nt have been easier, The journey time took about 40 mins.The complex has a lovely swimming pool with landscaped gardens. Most of our day's were spent by nipping down to the beach (Nissi bay at Aya Napa & Fig Tree Bat at Protaras both about ten minutes drive) in the morning, and finishing off at the pool in the afternoon. By having the car, we were able to explore the local area and do shopping trips, so I would recommend having some form of transport. The evenings were spent walking down to the local restaurants/ tavernas for dinner(approx 15-20 Mins). Faliros was consistently good, however Folios was absolutely fantastic(not cheap but a real treat). Returning to the apartment and chilling out with a night cap was the perfect way to finish an evening. The apartment is run very proffessionaly, Keith & Jakie, who manage the property on behalf of Steven were great, they were just a phone call away if needed which did give us the extra peace of mind. We have a minor problem with the satalite remote control not working, this was sorted in a very short time. Overall I woud thouroughly recommend this property. I can only report on what we we experienced, a quiet relaxing holiday spent at a loveley, well equipped apartment. Rating 5/5
- Review Submitted: June 29, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009What a great 2 weeks we had! The apartment is finished to a very high standard and has a very homely feel. The swimming pool was a good size and just what was needed in the beautiful weather!
If you are looking for a relaxing holiday what a perfect place to go.
Next time we would hire a car as we spent alot of time at fig tree bay and protaras.
Steve was excellent to deal with as are Keith and Jackie who look after the apartment in Cyprus. Rating 5/5 - Review Submitted: June 4, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009The apartment is everything you could hope for on a self catering holiday. The property was very clean and maintained well. The swimming pool area was up to a very high standard even though we did also visit the local beaches which were very beautiful. Shops, bars and restaurants were 10 - 15 mins walk away. The "Just Italian" restaurant was amazing.
I would definately recommend this apartment to friends, and I will revisit myself again hopefully next year!. This is the first time I have rented an apartment over the internet, and Steve was brilliant to deal with. Rating 5/5 - Review Submitted: March 9, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009During our stay at the great kings apartments we found the experience very enjoyable. The apartment was very comfortable, spacious and homely decorated and furnished in a modern style. All the kitchen appliances were very easy to use and everything that you would need in a self catering apartment is available.
During our stay we had a problem with the digital box for the tv, the customer service provided by the owner was excellent as the box was replaced within the day.
The apartment is situated about a 10 to 15 minute walk from the local shops, bars and restaurants. We had some great nights out in the kennedys bar and the food in faliros restaurant was superb. Rating 5/5
