Antigoni Hotel

Antigoni Hotel details

“With a first-class pool scene and a central spot just a stroll from the beach, the Antigoni Hotel is a hassle-free holiday base.”

Tucked in the very heart of Protaras, the Antigoni is as central as you can get. As such, it’s got a great mix of shops, bars and restaurants nearby – and the beach is just a short stroll away, too. But, despite its well-connected credentials, there’s still a peaceful vibe to the place. Protaras moves at a much quieter pace than its famous neighbour, Ayia Napa, so it’s just as easy to chill out here as it is to hit the bars. And, of course, when you do fancy visiting the world-class clubbing mecca, it’s is an easy ten-minute drive away.

As for the hotel itself, it’s a contemporary L-shaped affair bordered by palm trees and pretty potted flowers. Without doubt, the piece de resistance is the pool scene. It’s a turquoise lake-like affair bordered by a wide sun terrace. Add a swim-up bar to the mix, plus plenty of shady parasols and loungers, and it’s a top spot to chill out. Elsewhere there’s a gym, indoor swimming pool and squash courts and a basketball court for the activity-seekers, plus a sauna and steam room to unwind in afterwards.

Head inside, meanwhile, and a simple-but-stylish set-up awaits. Minimalist rooms dressed in creams and vanillas strike a contemporary vibe, while beds dressed in duck egg-blue cotton provide the finishing touches. Private balconies or terraces come as standard, too, as well as modern trimmings like air-conditioning, Greek satellite TVs and in-room radios.

When it comes to dining, the key word here is choice. The hotel offers up two restaurants – a main buffet eatery and a poolside a la carte. Menu-wise, expect a mix of traditional Spanish fare, varied international eats and fresh seafood. Breakfasts, meanwhile, are served buffet-style and feature a range of hot and cold dishes, including cooked-to-order eggs, omelettes and waffles.
