Caravel Hotel, Limassol

Advantages: Friendly staff
Disadvantages: A bus ride away from Limassol. No tea or coffee making facilities in room

...5 star hotel, twenty minutes by local bus from the centre of Limassol (very cheap fare) Opened again after refurbishment in March 07, we were there in May. Staff friendly and helpful. Public areas very grand, with plenty of marble. Wide choice of restaurants, although we only ate breakfast in the hotel, which was very good indeed. Plenty of restaurants close by, can specially recommend Lisa's & Terra e Mare. Our room with balcony faced the main road, not very big for 5 star with no tea or coffee making facilities. The ensuite had bathrobes, towelling slippers, etc. Activities such as kids clubs etc. are arranged but there were none whilst we were there apart from the Managers cocktail party and a daily tour round the hotel. Most ot the guests seemed to be Russian... Read review

...Limassol is both an area and a town in the south of Cyprus. The town of Limassol is an interesting mix of old Cypriot culture meeting modern Western desires. I realised this as I looked out from the balcony of the hotel only to be greeted by the famous golden arches of McDonald’s. This gave me a good indication of what to expect when going out for a meal each night. The hotel I stayed in was to the east of the town. There are three superb hotels, The Amathus, The Mediterranean and The Four Seasons, side by side. Small supermarkets, bars and restaurants line the coastal road that links these hotels to the town. You could not walk more than 100 yards without being reminded that you had come to a British holiday destination. I had to pinch myself when I ended up watching Manchester United playing in the champion’s league... Read review
