Columbia Beach Resort

A luxury hotel in a comfortable way. The staff go out of their way to make you feel like guests,rather than just paying customers. The breakfast is expensive, but the best hotel buffet breakfast I have ever had.

Excellent staff, service, facilities and food, coupled with a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration made our stay a fabulous experience. We will certainly be returning. Thank you Columbia Beach

Sometimes great, sometimes awful. Just utterly inconsistent attitude, service, helpfulness, food - not what you expect of a 5 star!

Great view from our room, everyone very friendly, exceptionally well kept rooms and grounds and great variety of restaurants and bars, with high quality food. The hotel had just been reopened after a 9 month refurbishment, so there were some teething problems but these where relatively minor - the only big issues was the TV info was poor and reception for the quite basic range of channels was very poor and variable and as people settled into their roles sometimes service was quite slow. There was entertainment but Ion one knew were it was or when it was but this will improve. The bars were mostly empty (as this was the first week the hotel was open) and lacked atmosphere but again should improve. The pools and beach where first class and with pool bars you never had too go far. The grass area beside the beach was our favourite with sunbeams and umbrellas available everywhere, the beach was partly stoney but there was a pontoon that took you out to deeper water and the water and facilities where excellent. There are water sports close at hand. Overall excellent and recommended as our only issues where do ti the settling in period. There are shops and restaurants further down the beach which are good for getting out of the resort but everywhere else is a taxi ride away - the shuttle to Patmos and Limassol was not running when we were there. It is about a 1 hour taxi ride from Larnaca, which the hotel can arrange for you.

Nice layout, lovely pool area, plenty of shade, sunbeds, towels. Friendly helpful staff, clean, quiet, good range of bars / restaurants. Food good on the whole, but wife has dairy intolerance, and disappointed to find even the Feta and Halloumi had cow`s milk, as did most other things, and everything appeared to be cooked in butter, which made her choice of food difficult. We were upgraded to an "executive room", nice size, super bed, nice outlook, though it adjoined a service area - didn`t get disturbed by noise however.Building site nearby - heavy excavation noise at 7am on Saturday morning, and at other times. Bathroom looked very tired - chips in porcelain, leaky shower head, but very minor niggles. Understand it`ll be undergoing a refurb - should improve it significantly. Only there 4 nights, but did enjoy our stay (apart from dietary problem, which we didn`t warn them about, so maybe our fault, but Feta with cow`s milk? in Cyprus??)
