The Adams Beach enjoys a privileged location on the verge of the beautiful Nissi Bay beach. It offers quality services in all areas and is suitable mainly for families with children because of its ''water park'' theme and the fact that it does not offer a lot of privacy.
The hotel is located at the entrance of Ayia Napa (1 mile away from downtown), a huge summer resort focusing on night life and relaxation on fine sandy beaches. The Adams Beach is located on the verge of one of the most famous of them, the Nissi Bay beach. To reach the hotel from Larnaca airport (located 24 miles away), allow a 30-minute drive.
The standard rooms are spacious, carpeted, both sober and gay: light-coloured wooden furniture, fabrics with blue and ochre patterns. Most of the rooms overlook the sea (very beautiful frontal or lateral view) but some overlook the other side of the property (an average view of the parking and the street). The decoration of the suites has much more character: more furniture, luxury fabrics and Mediterranean references. All rooms are equipped with satellite TV, a direct telephone line, adjustable air-conditioning, a mini-bar, a large balcony with a table and chairs. The bathroom, a little cramped, with a bathtub. Room service 24/7.
Built in 1990, the Adams Beach offers a total of 304 rooms with a maximum capacity of 800 people. Its outside façade is very massive and shelters an interior space that is fancy but a bit cold. The imposing hallway - all in marble - is decorated with antique inspired frescos and a gigantic chandelier from the 1930s. The lounge areas - comfortable and elegant - are a little solemn, despite the quality of the amenities. For relaxation, the lagoon pool with waterfalls, rocks and spiral waterslides, is an attraction by itself. It occupies all of the outdoor space, and does not leave much space for the vegetation. The ultra-modern bodybuilding centre, the numerous sport facilities and the organized activities for adults and children will occupy the rest of your day.
The meals are served buffet-style (generous and tasty) set up in a large and fresh room (tiles, white walls, wooden chairs covered in ecru fabric) or on an outdoor shaded sundeck. Given the number of guests, do not expect too much privacy. Menus and thematic evenings (fish, Greek, barbecue, Cypriot cuisine, tropical, Spanish, Mexican, Asian). You can also order traditional Cypriot à la carte dishes at the outdoor tavern, housed under large square sunshades, or more refined internationally inspired cuisine at the prestigious restaurant of the hotel, the Lucullus. Salads, grilled meats and sandwiches are offered à la carte all day and up to 10.00pm in the main restaurant. Three bars complete the services offered.
The Adams Beach directly overlooks a small bay, in the middle of the very pleasant surroundings of Nissi Bay: fine, golden sand, very clear water, a few flat rocks poking out of the shallows, and a lot of people in summer time. The beach is guarded. Lots of water sports, and masks and snorkels are available for rent. A restaurant and a bar on the beach. Deckchairs and sunshades are reserved for the clients of the hotel.
Dinners are usually accompanied with live background music.

The So Nice Boutique Suites is one of the few hotels in Ayia Napa that makes a real effort with its decor, which is quite a surprise in such a young and party-oriented resort village. As a result, it is head and shoulders above the rest of the establishments here. With a tantalising and contemporary ambiance, this hotel offering 57 apartments is probably best suited for guests looking for an establishment with plenty of character and a dynamic staff. This is a great place, so it is a pity there is not much to do apart from sitting on the beach.
This resort is a touristic village built in a traditional Mediterranean style. This holiday resort is located in south-eastern Cyprus, in the small fishing village of ''Ayia Napa''. The latter has become the most modern and the most popular place of the island. The Thalassaki is a peaceful place because it offers a large space not far from the sea among numerous touristic facilities. An ideal destination for those seeking independent vacations.
The first hotel built in Ayia Napa, the Nissi Beach offers one of the nicest locations. Its unique location on one of the most beautiful bays of the island, the size of the site decorated with taste, the quality and the number of facilities will delight all types of clients: sports people, those seeking peace and tranquility, couples with or without kids - everyone will live together here without any problems. Pictos: well located, sports, family, seaside, animation, rest.
Located on the outskirts of Agia Napa, the Asterias combines contemporary comfort with a diversity of facilities expected from a hotel on the seashore. This place is recommended for a restful or sporting vacation with your family or as a couple!
The first hotel in Ayia Napa when coming from Larnaca, the Dome offers quietness, quality services and a stunning setting for seaside vacations. Surrounded by greenery, the hotel is located between two bays on the Ayia Napa peninsula. A nice atmosphere in this fully equipped resort, with your feet almost in the water of the Mediterranean Sea.
Here is a very small, brand new hotel, made up of 19 guest rooms. Here, the main goal is relaxation. Luxurious rooms with a view of the sea, a beautiful restaurant, a pretty swimming pool, and direct access to the beach - what more could you ask for? Children are not allowed at the Olympic Lagoon Beach Club. Although it is possible to never have to leave the hotel, if you want to enjoy some extra services, you will have to make your way to the neighbouring resort. Ouch!
Located in the tourist resort village of Ayia Napa, the Panas Holiday Village is a club that provides simple services, particularly suitable for families. The overall architecture is pleasant; the guest rooms are actually little apartments with a kitchen area and the atmosphere is very friendly. It is a shame, however, about the minimal equipment and the lack of a beach, despite the hotel's location on the seafront. You will find a public beach 200m away.
The Aeneas hotel offers an excellent level of services in a polished atmosphere and an architecture of a Mediterranean inspiration. Built a short distance from the beach, it has a lagoon-type pool of a record size that serpentines through the entire hotel just like a lagoon. A rather peaceful atmosphere. Kids will love it! Beautiful active or restful vacations await you...

The Grecian Bay is a luxury hotel located on the verge of a pleasant beach. Its imposing size never casts a shadow on the tranquility or privacy of the place. Because of its numerous facilities for relaxation and sports, it is a perfect place for those running away from organised leisure activities.

Perched at the top of a cliff overlooking the sea, the Grecian Park enjoys a most beautiful setting out of the way of the built-up areas. This upscale hotel enjoys quality amenities and a pretty decor; and is certainly not lacking in assets. It is particularly suitable for families and anyone wishing to combine sports and relaxation. The only negative point is that it is so secluded, meaning that guests need a car in order to get to livelier places. And beware of the many steps! The beach lies 300m away, a great part of the distance consisting of steps. This is what you get in exchange for an exceptional view...
