I stayed at Sandra Apts in Protaras about 5 years ago and head a great time there.

The worse aspect was the weather, it rained for most of the week. However, we still had a great time.

thanks David

it's good hear as there are so many mixed reports! worried about the costs of eats and drinks too!

The pound is getting stonger against the Euro so thats a good start!, I think everywhere in the Euro is struggling a bit at the minute, but you can eat as cheaply or as expensively as you want.Word of warning though if your in an apartment supermarket food is expensive especially if you want all your normal UK stuff, like anchor butter, heinz beens that sort of thing.

thanks for that we usually just get the local brand basics in for the fridge; bread, marg, water and milk and then snack at lunchtime around the pool and 1 course meal at night.
with having a 4 year old don't get to stay out too late but do like a drink or 2!!
:cheers
fingers crossed for the exchange rate improving!

hi deborah5, we stayed at sandra two years ago and found them fine. very well placed for fig tree bay. we had lunch there a few times and i particularly liked the salads. we nipped in there last year and found prices had soared somewhat. for a cheaper option cheers bar over the road do really good food for more realistic prices if its pub type grub you want. :cheers

hi deborah, yes there are those too. i'm pretty sure the very highly rated nicolas tavern 2 minutes walk from the sandra does the greek dancing and gets everyone involved. there is lots of reference to there on this forum so have a dig about. i have never eaten there im afraid but believe food is wonderful ;) maybe other forum members can advise better than me on this :cheers

we're staying at the sandra in july but before we booked were considering loads of diff places and i've read so many different views on things forget what've read about what.

can you remember if they had towels in the bathrooms and if so how often they got changed, or should I take our own

thanks

Hi Flooz, Yes they do have towels and these are changed about 6 days a week if i remember rightly.The only towels you need are beach towels really. The pool area is pleasant , they have a main pool a kids splash pool on a another level and then more terraces back from there. We would have probably gone back but thomson currently want £2850 for a family of four in apartments which are perfectly adequate but there isnt much in daytime entertainment for the kids. Hence we are going to the rising star with lots going on for about £2100. You won't be diappointed with the sandra though, they have a great location ;) :cheers

Hi Deborah, Nicholas Taverna is really lovely and very nice food, but not entertainment as such, if you want to see Greek dancing, plate smashing etc try Romeos, just actoss the road from Nicholas Taverna, food isn't as good but they do have entertainment, but not every day.

thanks for your reply we've only paid 824.00 for the 3 of us in a one bed apt in mid july so am really not expecting much but am always hopefully for a pleasant suprise!! ;)

really getting excited now just 5 weeks to go :hols
Reply
hi keels, yes, meant to edit post as i realised the greek dancing bit is over the road at romeos not the nicolas tavern. They did have plate smashing at the nicolas but have now sacked the waiter :D
