Mandali Hotel

Pros. Clean hotel with a good location just minutes from Protaras ***** and beach. Rooms were clean and bed and pillows were comfortable and we could get a good nights sleep. Bathrooms are adequate and look nice at fist glance but the bath was obviously very old and not updated when the room was, the terrible sealant job around it made it look worse. We had a late flight home but were able to use the shower facilities in the spa after a day on the beach before our coach collected us, hotel provides a towel. Cons. We stayed B&B the breakfast was ok but only ever lukewarm. A lot of the pool area is shaded in the afternoon but the beach is only a minute away. Outside furniture is in need of a update especially the cushions on the wicker look settees and chairs, they were flattened and mismatched and stained and just spoilt the look which is a shame because it would be an easy fix to replace the seat pads. It’s a 3 star hotel at the end of the day and we would stay again because of the good location and comfortable bed.

Paid for sea view, as given room 418 which had a pool and sea view. Stayed B&B so can't comment on evening meal. The good: close to beach (but you have to be at beach before 9am to secure a sunbed), aircon very good but a tad noisy, bed - large & firm but comfortable- slept very well, mini fridge (but needs to be set a little cooler), kettle with tea & coffee, safe cost E1.5 per day, all areas very clean, staff friendly, spacious car park for safe keeping of rental car, The not so good: Sunbeds are back breakers- very sloppy mesh not supportive at all. Pool is east facing so very shady early on in the day- no good for sunbathers but ok for me. Pool a little small but I was aware of this at time of booking so not complaining. The bad: only one thing to complain about- the lack of fresh uncut bread at breakfast- it was only served every 2-3 days otherwise its packet square bread - really not good enough. Breakfast was otherwise repetitive but acceptable. Protaras resort- great boardwalk along the beach and plenty of toilets & changing facilities all along it. The ***** was 'entertaining' if you like that kind of thing. Local bus excellent value and runs until 4am!- Travels from Paralimni to Ayia Napa- E1.50 per journey or E5 to travel all day as hop on & off. Rent a car and get out to see beautiful Cyprus especially Troodos mountains (its so easy all signs in English & you drive on the left); I live in Norfolk and found the hairpin mountain roads of the Troodos were an absolute delight. Definitely coming back to Cyprus, but not to Protaras, its just not for me, but we found Mandali is a good cost-effective hotel.

Just got back from a week’s stay here. Good clean hotel in a great location for easy access to the beach and all that Protaras has to offer. Breakfast was decent with a good selection of food. The omelettes were very good and cooked to order. Only stayed around the pool once as the sun disappears from most of the pool area in the early afternoon but the beach is only a couple of hundred yards away. The rooms were spacious and had everything needed with a bottle of water, tea and coffee supplied on arrival. There is a charge for the safe of €1.50 a day. The maids work tirelessly and clean towels provided daily. There’s a well equipped gym, indoor pool, showers and a spa if needed. We were unable to keep our room on for a late departure which meant showering in the spa area. The hotel provided towels for us but it was very very warm and uncomfortable. All in all, a nice clean hotel, good staff and in a great location.

A lovely hotel, location is perfect near the beach and close to the bars but very quiet. Great view of the sea and boats. Only downside was not having a room to change in before our evening flight. We had to change in the corridor by the Spa. Very disappointed 😞

Stayed at the hotel in early October! from the pluses - clean, quiet, friendly staff. Delicious food, drinks, near the beach. Cons - uncomfortable pillows, thin bedspreads, a small pool and it cools down early, since there is no sun after lunch. But it didn't spoil our vacation. I'll be back!

A good basic hotel for a base. Ideally situated for the beach, restaurants & shops. Clean with helpful staff. A criticism would be the sun beds. Sagging so much, like trying to get off a hammock. Need replacing. Surprised this wasn't done when hotel was refurbished. Although a ‘no frills’ would consider staying again as the positives outweigh the negatives.
