Malama Beach Holiday Village

Plenty of food at the breakfast and enough space to sit indoors and outdoors

The green area outside the rooms need more care which will make the gardens look alot more pretty. But overall everything was clean.

Great family hotel, pools and beach wonderful fun. Food varied and plentiful, staff helpful and complex well laid out and grounds beautifully maintained.

The hotel consists of a series of small houses with 4-6 suits each. We were happy to get one far from most sources of noise - small price for 5 minutes walking to the pools or beach. Clean pools were really nice, and rich board in the open buffet, with several days of live music for the dinner and/or thematical menu, was delicious. The hotel has also a way down to a nice bay with a shallow, smooth descend, perfect for teaching kids to swim in the morning and to chill out in the evenings. Also, the hotel is in 5 minutes ride from Protaras to have more entertainment activities like Dancing Waters, as well as in 20 minutes ride from Cape Greko to enjoy a hike or a diving. You can have a walk to the Oceanarium nearby, too. I was also touched by the hotel staff's treat to the multiple cats living around the territory, as I'm a steady cat-lover. I would also like to leave a special thanks to the massage therapist Ms. Dar Djin (hope I spell her name correctly), who did a very professional service at the SPA center within the hotel.

I've got several small notes to yet improve, which, however, did not spoil our stay at all. 1. The suite lacks any equipment for placing bags or shoes near the entrance. We had to store the beach bag on the bathroom hooks and struggle with shoes which regularly littered all the corridor no matter where to leave it. I think something like narrow shoestand from IKEA would fit the corridor nicely, not mentioning a couple hooks on the wall. 2. The suite would do better with a set of thin blankets like quilts. We had either thin bedsheets or thick duvets (useless in August) to cover, but what we really needed was something in the middle. 2. The ceiling fans in the open space of the dining zone are too weak to do anything with the outer heat. We had a halfboard, but the buffet stayed open for three meals a day. I cannot imagine how hot it would be there when having a lunch.

Sun beds were pre-allocated for the week. Very poor and not all in sun. Breakfast wasn’t restocked after 0930 and often depleted. Room wasn’t maintained and bedding not changed all week. New sheets just left on wall.
