The Alva Apartments were fantastic. The staff were so helpful and cheerful, they made everyone feel so welcome. We didn't really get involved with the entertainment, but we did see Elvis, he wasn't the best look alike but he involved the whole audience and everyone seemed to enjoy it, my sister loved it!!
The pool bar staff were great, very friendly. We're trying to encourage the family to go next year, I'm up for it!!!

Having booked online we were unsure what would be waiting for us. I could not have been more delighted.
The two apartment blocks looked better than in the advertisement. We arrived at 1.30 am and the reception staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms were very clean and cool (air conditioned).
The food during the day at the poolside bar was excellent. We did not eat there in the evening. I have given the entertainment a low rating because the week we stayed was during the world cup and therefore football was on everywhere.
I would definitely revisit this hotel. The bar staff were very happy nice people.

This was our second visit to the Alva as we fell in love with it when we visited May 05.
We went self catering and used the hotel restaurant a few times which was very nice indeed and the food from the poolbar was great.
The location of the Alva could not be better.It is on the doorstep of all the shops and bars of protaras and a 5 minuite walk from the beach.
The hotel staff are brilliant and speak exellent english.You didnt need a rep as they were so helpful.
Couldnt really rate the entertainment because it was non existent, but you dont need hotel enertainment as there is so much to do in the resort.
I would definitely stay here again.

Hi... Just arrived home from spending two wonderful weeks at the Alva apartments in Protaras. Hardly saw a cloud.
We found the reception staff warm and helpful especially when requiring a fan to help cool living area. Pete the barman is one in a million, a character and great choice in music, he helps make your holiday.
The cleaners very good also, making sure the rooms are cleaned to highest standard and even do your washing up.. Kitchen staff top class too.
The pool bit basic and can seem overcrowded and although it has a 8-6pm policy there were no complaints to our children

Firstly, and what I feel is the vital, the location is perfect. Smack-bang in the middle - the beach just opposite and a couple mins walk and restaurants / shops / bars if you choose to turn left or right outside the hotel.
The rooms... quite shabby and not as clean as I would like. When we first arrived, I have to admit I was disappointed as I expected better - the pictures showed them to be lovely! I soon cheered up after seeing the seaview from the balcony (although was horrified to learn that the patio doors do not lock)
The pool area was nice enough.
The "games room" was pretty poor, but there are amusements not too far away for the kids plus a crazy golf park.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel, purely because of it's location and cost. If you don't expect 5* quality, it's fine. Just go with that in mind.

Great central location, five minutes acrosss road to Fig Tree Bay. Reception staff were very helpful and on the one occcasion we had a problem with air conditioning unit they had it fixed within minutes! The rooms were basic but clean and comfy. Free air conditioning in bedroom area (block "A"). We didn't like the fact that the door couldn't be locked from inside and the handle was toddler height! Thought this was very dangerous for anyone like us with small inquisitive children! Rooms were cleaned almost every day and towels changed twice a week. Parko restaurant downstairs did nice food but we found menu was much the same as any restaurant along Hotels Road. Karaoke by the pool two nights per week which was very intrusive especially when trying to get kids off to sleep. This was the only downside to these apartments as it went from 9.30pm until 1.30am and we had to listen whether we wanted to or not. All in all a very nice place to stay, clean and comfy and right at the heart of it all.

I loved these appartments as I go to the beach everyday. If you too love the crystal clear waters then this is definately the place to go as fig tree bay is only across the road. The road that it is situated on has everything to offer resturants,bars and shops. The nightlife dies down about 1am but once you close your windows you can`t hear a thing. The staff are so friendly we have been back twice now we even asked for the same room which we got. When we arrived we found a present each and a welcome back card. We have booked up for next year. It has everything to offer that you would want on a self catering holiday in cyprus. 10/10
