7 Best Hotels in Cyprus

Amid banana groves, this all-inclusive adults only hotel is friendly and personal. The impressive, open lobby overlooks the water, and many rooms have balconies with sea views.  The outdoor pool is big and flanked by palm trees and has views out to a small pebbly beach and the Mediterranean.

Location is the key here—unlike many Limassol hotels, which are actually located north of the city, Crowne Plaza is in the heart of town, offering easy beach and city center access, including proximity to the culturally rich historic districts of Limassol. The Terrace Studios, with spacious private decks and their own sun beds, are particularly nice. Though not as luxurious as some other options here, the hotel doesn't skimp on amenities, from tennis courts to a small spa and 24-hour gym to bathrobes and slippers in the rooms. When you're ready to dine, stroll down the block to some of Limassol's best restaurants, or dine in at the hotel's elegant La Brezza Italian-Cypriot fusion restaurant.
