Malama Beach Holiday Village

Our 2nd time here with our 14 and 16 year olds and we loved it ! Positives : Quiet stay away from the hustle and bustle of Protaras Location +++ Beautiful cove and crystal-clear water Attentive and caring staff (especially the two gentlemen who give out beach towels and book sunbeds are very attentive) Impeccable cleanliness (the rooms could be cleaned better, however). The highlight: delicious, varied and fine food. For an All Inclusive, the buffet was amazing! Plus 3 live cooking options ("à la minute"), desserts prepared on site. We ate so much ! Possibility of jogging along the beach Bus station nearby (15-minute walk) to Protaras (for shopping and/or entertainment) The system of sunbeds allocated for the entire stay is clearly a positive point! The massages were great ! Points for improvement: All sports facilities are in need of serious refurbishment : tennis court (net not taut, court not straight), soccer field, fitness center and squash rackets. The plastic sunbeds are not great. We had a one-bedroom apartment which consists of a bedroom with a bed (approx. 1.50 m) and a room with 2 sofa beds which are quite hard. But our 2 teenagers (aged 14 and 16) slept very well all week on the sofa beds. I wouldn't recommend sofa beds for 2 adults though.

Easy check in, friendly staff and our room was great. We had a studio and everything was withinga short walking distance. Meals were good with high end resturant quality plates being put together from the outside dedicated serveries. Some great choices that differed from the standard buffet style. The buffet inside also had some great options although Sunday/Monday has less choice. Its definatly worth going all inclusive as a few evening drinks will soon add up to the all inclisive rate. The all inclusive cocktails were standard and got booring after a few days and a selection of frozen or wider selection of cocktails would have been great. The walk to the beach is minutes away and sunbeds are 2.50 Euros per bed & umbrella, there is a great independant bar next to the bech if you want to pay for drinks & meals. If you pay for sunbeds then keep your receipt as the guy will be back later and forgets who hes charged. Buy goggles & snorkle from the shop up the road as the fish in the bay arould the rocks and by the mermade are amazing. You can reserve your own sunbeds for the week which is great if you see the guy who does the towels by the life guard station, if only all hotels did this. Bar staff were amazing and really made us feel welcome, we arrived as strangers and left as friends. There is a supermarket nearby for water and everything else you need and a great restaurant for Greel Meze at the end of the enterance to the resort. A short walk will also take you to more bars. Grab a bus about 10 minutes walk away for 2 euros to Ayia Nama / Protaras or hire a buggy and go exploring. This stay was one of our best holidays from the location to the staff. We highly recomend this as a travel must stay.

Food accommodation staff all excellent nothing too much trouble, plenty of choice breakfast excellent, swimming pool good for children and MAlama beach right below, excellent choice, will definitely be back next year, not so good if disabled as there a lot of steps and no lifts
