Aphrodite Sands Resort

From booking this hotel and throughout our 2.5 week stay I have nothing but praise for this hotel and the service we received. On booking, I'd requested a pool facing ground floor room due to having an autistic child with noise sensitivity and a young one who likes to climb. This was granted, no issue. On arriving at a really unsociable hour, we were met by Peter who showed us around. Everything was explained very well, and we even got suggestions of sights to see sent to the phone the same night. Throughout our stay, him and the lady at reception (sorry, didn't catch her name) could not have done more for us. They truly went over and above to make us feel welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. The two bed apartment was great, living room, kitchen area (washing machine a big plus with family), two big bedrooms, ensuite and main bathroom with full bath. Loads of storage and the best aircon system we have had anywhere. Cleaners seemed to come every other weekday, they weren't intrusive, were polite and were happy to just drop off towels and loo paper if someone was asleep. Grounds and pool were gorgeous, beautifully kept, clean and welcoming. Cushioned loungers, enough for everyone, nobody reserved with towels and then didn't use them all day (pet hate!), and the atmosphere round the pool was fun but quiet. We are very fair skinned and always got a lounger in the shade with parasol. WiFi signal was quite good, enough speed for streaming usually, only needing a boost from mobile 5G occasionally. Boys could play PS5 which kept them happy during the hottest hours. The hotel is in Mandria village and it is totally possible to visit the pool, village shop, supermarket and restaurants by foot, but we hired a car and were glad we did as there was so much to see and do in the area. First time to Cyprus, and it was simply stunning. We would definitely return to this hotel and have had no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family across Ireland. Thanks everyone for making our holiday amazing, we will see you again.

Nice spacious apartment Nice spacious apartment. Outdoor pool had a lot of chlorine in it. Ok gym. Good location

What a wonderful little gem the Aphrodite Sands is. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment with an enormous balcony overlooking the pool. It was well furnished and even had a washing machine which was a welcome addition. There were a few minor issues like a crack in the bath, and one of the outside chairs was so frayed it broke during our stay but it was replaced quickly. The other thing I noticed was the neighbouring apartment had sun loungers on the balcony but we didn’t which was a shame. The pool area was beautifully maintained and despite being there in August we never had any issue getting sun beds, even when we didn’t go out until mid morning. The spa and gym were great too. My son spent a fair bit of time in the gym and I enjoyed a very reasonably priced massage in the spa. The apartments are located about a 15 minute walk from the beach and there is a great little beach bar there, along with sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach. The local village centre is only a 5 minute walk away has some lovely restaurants and a well stocked mini market. Some people staying at the apartments didn’t have cars but I would say a hire car is vital to really enjoy the area and get further afield as Cyprus has so much to offer. The icing on the cake was the manager Peter who was so friendly and accommodating. He was always available and happy to chat and offer advice.
