Hotel berhampiran Masterland, Germasogeia

We went to this hotel having read the reviews but we went with an open mind and guessed it would be a lot better than some of the reviews. We were not disappointed, the front of the hotel is currently a bit of a building site but this does not affect the parts that the public come into contact with. The hotel was clean and appeared relatively well looked after, the staff were friendly and very helpful. During our stay most of the hotel was taken over by school age teenagers from all over the Med, taking part in a sporting event, you may think this was a recipe for disaster but with one exception they were all quiet and well mannered. One did fall out with a holiday maker by the pool that caused a bit of an argument but even his mates distanced themselves from him ! The room was clean and quite comfortable despite the 40C temps outside, the bed was massive and would have easily slept 4 if your into that sort of thing. The only complaint was the gap between the washing basin and shower screen (see picture) We only had B&B and as expected it became a bit of a bore by the end of the week despite there being a good choice of Continental/ English or just cereals for breakfast. If in doubt there is a 24 hour shop over the road with all sorts of goodies in. There was a little road noise from boy racers and during our stay, but we witnessed a Police Camera Van out trying to discourage this behaviour. Would we go again, certainly.

We reserved two weeks at Icon with the intention of securing an Airbnb for the remainder of our stay on Cyprus. We were so comfortable we ended up extending our stay to almost a month. Our two bedroom corner apartment was very comfortable and bright, spacious and had a great terrace with views. The only drawback was the limited kitchen on an extended stay. (The one bedroom units have a much larger and more usability kitchen) A big thank you to Christine and Alex at reception. Your daily welcoming smiles and conversations were a highlight and made us feel at home. Also to the night security, my apologies for not remembering his name, who provided a jump start when the battery on our rental car died. The onsite restaurant is excellent for both food and service. Only thing lacking in our stay is the pool area is through the restaurant. Loungers are not places out in the winter even though the weather is quite conducive to its use and it did not create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere to Its use.

המלון נמצא בטיילת בלימסול אם כי לא ממש קרוב לאזור המרינה שבסמוך לה נמצאים כל מרכזי הפעילות בערב. יחד עם זאת יש קו אוטובוס נוח מס' 30 שנוסע לאורך כל הטיילת וקל להגיע איתו למרינה ומגיע עד לתחנה הסופית לקניון באזור הנמל קצת מחוץ לעיר. חזרה באותו מסלול. אין מציאות בקניון הזה ובכלל בקפריסין. המלון ממוקם ממש על קו המים, יש בריכה למבוגרים, בריכה לילדים ובריכה לפעוטים ובריכה מקורה שהמים בה קרים מידי ועוד יש מזגן. בכניסה לים יש אבנים קטנות וגדולות ומי שאינו רגיל, זה כואב ואפשר להיפצע. לכן מומלץ נעלי גומי או להיכנס למים על גבי המזח מפלסטיק שמגיע לעמוקים. ההגעה למלון מלרנקה אפשרית במונית שעולה כ 50 יורו. הדרך הכי חסכונית היא לקחת את האוטובוס שאטל שעולה 10 יורו לאדם, פחות לילד. כרטיס קונים באשנב ליד היציאה מהטרמינל בצד שמאל. יורדים בתחנה הראשונה שלו בלימסול שנקראת סנט. רפאל ומשם בדיוק לוקחים קו אוטובוס 30 עם נסיעה של כ 10 תחנות לפחות. עולה 1.5 יורו, משלמים לנהג. יורדים מול הכניסה למסעדה שנקראת ”הגן” באנגלית, לבקש מהנהג. ממשיכים ללכת ברגל כ 40 מטר ופונים שמאלה בסמטה המובילה עד למלון, יש שילוט. המלון נראה נחמד בעיקר בשטחים הציבוריים, לובי. החדרים פחות, ריהוט פשוט ומאופק, לא משהו מפואר. הכספת לא היתה ניתנת לפתיחה, אולי בתשלום. יש קומקום עם קפה. מקרר קטן. חיבור מחשב לאינטרנט קווי, בתשלום. ארוחת הבוקר בסדר, בלי שינויים. יש מה שצריך לתפריט הישראלי, היו חסרות לי גבינות יווניות לבנות וסוגי מאפים. המלון מתאים למבוגרים, זוגות וכאלה שרוצים שקט כי אין הרבה מה לעשות בו ובאזור, מלבד מנוחה ושחייה בים או בבריכה. המלון עם ארוחת בוקר ואפשר בתשלום גם צהריים ב 23 יורו וערב ב 28 יורו, לא כולל שתיה. מים בחינם. חזרה לשדה בלרנקה אפשר באותה דרך, קו 30 עד סנט. רפאל ומשם השאטל לשדה התעופה. בדיוטי פרי שם אין מציאות, עולה כמו בחוץ וכמו בארץ.

Good location Excellent service Clean with all the necessary amenities available

Starting my review by saying this place is so beautiful. We have booked 3 different apartments and each one with special different theme. My apartment was wonderful with all it details, beautiful theme, clean and has everything you need in your stay. The owner was very kind and welcoming and waited for us till evening time to do the check in. Location os good, walking distance to a road full of restaurants and cafes.

We have just returned from our holiday. We were a family of 6 (2 adults and 4 children aged from 7 to 17) occupying 2 rooms. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and there were good amenities. The children loved the pool (outside and inside pools) the evening entertainment was good, bingo, quiz, childrens disco, entertainer etc. They put on a Halloween party which was great. The food was ok but more choice would have been great. There was always pancakes which the children loved but very little fresh fruit available for breakfast. Lunch and Dinner ok but more choice would have been great. As we were coming to the end of our week the hotel was winding down for the winter months. Phillipe on reception was fantastic, always happy to help and very cheerful. Belinda was helpful and friendly and Ashley the entertainment lady worked hard all day and night with the entertainment program. These 3 members of staff are all a credit to the hotel. We did find a lot of the staff to be very abrupt and quite rude with not even a welcome or a smile. Some of the staff cooking the breakfast were very ignorant. This really lets the hotel down as it’s a lovely place. There is a snack bar that’s open 10am to 5pm where you can get toasties, sandwiches, croissants and cakes which were really great. The pool bar was great, didn’t have to queue for long and it was well stocked. Brilliant cocktails. The pools were very cold at this time of year, it would have been nice to have a heated pool. When sunbathing around certain parts of the pool you do get a sewage type smell that comes and goes. There are also lots of cats that have made the hotel their home. The cats didn’t bother us though. Overall we had a good holiday and would return. Limassol marina and shops was no more than a 15 minute bus journey which made a good day out. Going in the other direction you have a lovely resort called St Raphael which is no more than a 15 minute journey.

My partner and I have just returned from a two week stay. The Check-In was quick and easy the manager was polite and pleasant he explained that due to Covid restricts there was no buffet but we could have unlimited plates of food all we had to do was ask. It’s a shame this wasn’t relayed to his staff as when we requested more food (the dinner portions were small) the lady serving us Anna was somewhat rude telling us she would charge our room even though we had paid for half board and told us we couldn’t have anymore food because they have other guests to feed! When I requested some water with our meal she gave me tap water bearing in mind there was a water dispenser of fresh mineral water! Anna seemed to lack professionalism and had a general disregard for the guests especially when I slipped over in the reception area because the floor was wet I cut my hands and arms she didn’t do anything to help me and couldn’t care less that I was needing first aid. The manager did speak to me about Anna and apologised about how she behaved but the damage was already done it’s a shame because she did put a downer on our stay Breakfast was always the same food everyday which by the end of our 2 week stay we were really bored of! we were served most days by Mr Antonio who was always polite and would check on us if we needed anymore he was the most loveliest member of staff. The hotel in general is quite dated and approx 30 mins walk from the city centre, we did get a bus pass which we used everyday as there is nothing to do in the area of the hotel. We used the pool everyday in the afternoon after we had been out for the day. On our final day we decided we would spend the day around the pool, beware lots of locals come along at the weekends and take advantage of the free pool all they have to do is buy a drink to get to use the pool this is a shame because it takes away exclusivity for the actual hotel guests. Another point to note is they advertise that they have 2 pools one indoor and one outdoor plus a sauna I was told they only have the outdoor pool maybe you need to update the information about your hotel on your website.
