Lordos Beach Hotel

“Outstanding location”

Great hotel in a beautiful location. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast buffet is massive and delicious. A+++. There are plenty of restaurant options just a 2 minute walk away. Also a bar outside near the beach entrance.

Our family stayed at the Lordos Beach Hotel in July 2024 for 11 nights and we had a tremendous experience for many reasons. Prior to our visit we wanted to find out some information regarding the hotel and sent an email with our enquiries, within a few hours of sending the email we received a detailed reply from the manager Nicolas answering all of our questions. Nicolas attentiveness set the tone for our whole holiday, he came to greet us on our first morning after breakfast and continued to be conscientious throughout our stay. We arrived at the hotel late (around 11pm) but the desk staff were most welcoming. They gave us two complementary meal vouchers as we had missed the earlier lunch and dinner. Sofia completed all the check-in papers and offered fresh ice cold lemonade which was well received after a long journey. The concierge showed us to our room which was a side sea view junior suite with an outdoor terrace. The room was beautifully decorated, extremely clean with comfortable beds and spacious for our family of four We then went to the bar where we met Roman the wonderful bartender who greeted us warmly and served us our first drinks and so began our amazing experience with the Lordos Beach Hotel. On the first morning at breakfast we were greeted by Andreea who helped us navigate the breakfast area (and during many meals thereafter). We were then met by the amazing waitress Galina who throughout our holiday would great us in the mornings with her infectious smile and ensured we had everything we needed. Galina also introduced us to Zivania - a Cypriot drink and the frappes which we were able to order at breakfast. For cold drinks, there is an ice bucket, it’s a little bit out of sight but it is located on the right side of the breakfast room near the second set of coffee machines. Bougatsa (made fresh every day) with a strong coffee was one of our favourite ways to start our Cypriot breakfast. There was always a superb selection of cooked food (and you can order plain omelette or just take the filled freshly made ones), There were fresh salads, fruit, newly made pastry, cakes (including chocolate cake 😊 ) and spanakopita – to mention only a few. Lunch and dinner are usually buffet style (if included in full board). Dinner had a different cuisine every evening and the food was simply outstanding with Executive Chef Michael and his fantastic team preparing the most delicious delicacies each day with care and skill. The food was simply marvelous!!! There was a very professional young chef who was present throughout the dinner making sure the food was perfect for the guests. He was very helpful explaining the various food items and recommending items when asked. The dining room always looked amazing and has a smart dress code in the evenings but the staff were also OK with guests who did not have the proper attire. The waiting staff were extremely courteous and attentive. Marianos, Christos, Marcela, we apologise if we have left some staff out as we don’t know all the names but they were all wonderful and made our holiday all the more memorable by being, professional, caring, always smiling and making sure we had everything we needed. Eating out on the terrace each evening was an absolutely beautiful experience as it overlooked the Mediterranean Sea and floodlit swimming pools. We tried to time our meal to watch the fabulous sunset, which along with a gentle sea breeze and a glass of wine was a phenomenal way to end the day. Some 4-star hotels can feel like a 3-star, but our experience at Lordos beach hotel was the opposite: it is rated 4-star but we totally had a 5-star experience and this was all due to the class and quality of the staff. A major reason for us choosing Lordos Beach Hotel was reading about the Watersports Hut located on the beach next to the hotel compound. Stavros helped us choose the best watersport experiences and we tried something new nearly every day. They have kayaks, pedalo’s, parasailing, jet-ski's, catamarans, snorkelling equipment to name but a few. We cannot praise Stavros enough, not only for going above and beyond what we expected but for all his stories and for helping us understand the beautiful Cypriot culture a bit better. If you are lucky enough to stay at Lordos beach hotel you should pay Stavros and the guys at the Watersports hut a visit as their activities gave us memories that will last a lifetime. The hotel was recently renovated and it shows. There was a newly constructed children’s play and pool area and a new outdoor bar. The pools were always clean and well maintained and there were days when staff from the beach bar came with complementary glasses of ‘Slushy’ style drinks. Murat was in charge of the beach towels and was extremely pleasant even when we forgot our towel card (you get complementary clean beach towels daily). The indoor pool was a great way to relax after being on the beach. It has an ice cold water cooler if you need to cool down from the heat. The gym had all the essential equipment needed to maintain fitness levels and like the rest of the hotel was immaculate. Across from the hotel there is a convenience shop that we used quite a lot. The owner Constantinos was very friendly and helpful. If you run out of anything during your stay I am sure he will have it in stock. There is also a taxi rank across from the hotel but there was no one there when we tried to take a taxi to Larnaca’s city centre. After waiting around for a little we gave up and called a taxi company that the hotel staff gave us. For returning to the hotel we tried several taxi firms but no taxis were available. The local bus route also had a two hour wait but we got lucky and were able to flag down a passing taxi driver so if you decide to go into the city centre make sure you know how you are going to get back to the hotel. The amazing hotel staff at Lordos Beach Hotel, Larnaka cannot do enough for the guests and truly made for a wonderful experience. Apologies if we missed out any staff in this review as they were all fantastic! We are very much looking forward to returning in the near future and thank everyone associated with the hotel for a magical, unforgettable summer holiday!

The staff was extremely nice, absolutely all of them. The food was good and plentiful. The night entertainment was also surprisingly good: there was a great guitar singer and an amazing magic show! I particularly appreciated that the music in the swimming pool area was played low enough not to be a nuisance... and a brilliant playlist it was too. There's a bus that takes you straight there from the airport in less than 50 mins.

Just returned from a 5 night stay at this hotel. Overall the hotel was good, clean, tidy, spacious, nice pool area, direct beach access and breakfast was tasty and plentiful. We visited the lounge for both food and drinks, staff in there were always polite and helpful. What let this hotel down for us was having a piece of jewellery stolen from our room by housekeeping! Therefore if you do stay here ensure you lock everything away in the safe, not just placed out of sight.
