Alion Beach Hotel in Ayia Napa, Cyprus All Resorts, Cyprus

Alion Beach Hotel details

A stone's throw from the beach, this popular property has all the trimmings for a luxurious escape.

The star of the show here is the beach. Reached through the hotel’s gardens, it’s got the kind of powder-soft sands your feet sink in to on touch. The views are gorgeous, too – the turquoise Mediterranean stretches as far as the eye can see. What’s more, behind the beach, the hotel’s lawns are peppered with sunloungers and parasols, creating lots of quiet sunbathing spots amid the palms and bougainvillea.

The main pool, meanwhile, offers another chilled-out scene. A simple rectangular affair, it’s framed by canvas deckchairs on one side and on the other, a stylish brasserie where guests lunch on Greek salads and fresh seafood dishes. Next up is the Kalimera buffet restaurant. Complete with an outdoor terrace overlooking the palms and ocean, it’s a lovely place to enjoy buffet breakfasts. The place for dinner though is the Symposion. All sleek black rattan chairs set on an elevated terrace it’s the place to dine on gourmet Cypriot cuisine while watching the lightshows of the passing cruise ships.

As for the rooms, they’re elegant in a crisp, modern way. Soft fawns and creams are offset by bright orange scatter cushions and armchairs, while in-room extras include balconies, wide screen satellite TVs and tea and coffee-making sets.

Everything else aside, the service here is worth a special mention. The staff are particularly attentive and there’s a turndown service at night when the maids leave little chocolates on your pillow. The hotel also runs a sunbed allocation system – when you check-in, you choose your sunbeds and they’re reserved for you throughout your stay. It’s a simple, thoughtful touch.
