Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
Our selection focuses on five-star hotels with a demonstrable record of high guest satisfaction. In practice, this means consistently first-rate facilities — rooms, spa and pools — alongside a typical guest score of around 9.0 or above on leading booking platforms such as Booking.com and Hotels.com, supported by consistently positive feedback on service and housekeeping.
Distinctive features
We give priority to signature attributes such as seafront settings with private beach areas, adult-only concepts (16+), heated indoor pools, large lagoon or infinity pools, smart room technology, suites with private pools or swim-up access, and restaurants with a distinct culinary identity — from seafood specialists to fine dining with guest appearances by acclaimed chefs.
Location and surroundings
Location must add genuine value: directly on Nissi or Pantachou Beach, or elevated with panoramic views and a peaceful setting yet still within walking distance of restaurants and the harbour. We also consider ease of transfer (approximately 40–45 minutes from Larnaca) and proximity to experiences such as Cape Greco, the sculpture park and boat trips.
