Outstanding Stay – Truly the Best Hotel Experience!
This is by far the best hotel my family and I have ever stayed in! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with refreshing drinks and warm smiles, setting the tone for an exceptional stay.
The service throughout our holiday was second to none. The staff consistently went above and beyond – if they noticed your glass was empty, they'd be over in no time to offer a refill. Everything is table service, so you can simply sit back, relax, and be thoroughly looked after. It genuinely felt like luxury.
Housekeeping was flawless. Our room was kept spotless, fresh towels were delivered daily, and the fridge was always stocked with bottled water. Every member of the cleaning team deserves praise – their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
Evening entertainment was another highlight. The Queen tribute and The Greatest Showman performances were absolutely incredible. Each performer had such powerful, professional voices – we were truly blown away.
The food was fantastic at every restaurant we tried. Everything we ate was full of flavour and beautifully presented. A special thank you to the team for accommodating my son’s specific dietary needs – they ensured he was well taken care of at every meal. And the American diner staying open late was a huge bonus – perfect after a busy day out.
The pool was a bit cold, but given it was April, that’s completely understandable – only the brave took the plunge!
The only slight hiccup we had was with the sun loungers – our allocated ones had been booked out twice, and we weren’t the only ones it happened to. That said, there were plenty available elsewhere, so as long as you're not particular about the exact spot, it’s no big deal.
Overall, our visit to Cyprus was made even more special by staying at Olympic Lagoon. We left with amazing memories and can’t wait to return. Highly, highly recommend!

The hotel is lovely and very pleasant. It has everything you need, it's very clean and well maintained. The service is kind and the food is very tasty. I'd be happy to come back here again. It's just a pity that the indoor pool isn't heated — it would have been nice if it were around 30°C or had warm water for colder days or when it's windy outside.

Overall it’s a nice place to go with the kids. Food is great and the drinks too. Just a few things let it down, mainly the pools being freezing that much so they are almost empty. Spoken to a few guests who have been before and they said it’s pretty much freezing later in the year also. Second is the app is terrible can’t book a place in the booking only restaurants from an hour of being here. WiFi is patchy and bogs down a lot ended up using cellular. There’s nothing near by the hotel to do other than a beach. On the plus side the staff are fantastic and Everyone I came across said hello and were more than happy to help out with what ever was asked. The creche was a life saver! Was great to be able to get a couple of hours toddler free. Foods very good with lots of variety, to much choice. The experience arena is incredible for a hotel setup! Sounds great and there’s table service! (to loud for little ones reached 110db at times which is damaging for prolonged periods).

My friends and I recently stayed at the Olympic Lagoon Ayia Napa and it was genuinely the best hotel I've ever been to, worldwide. The hotel has the perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment, creating an unforgettable 7-night stay as we celebrated my 18th birthday. What truly sets Olympic Lagoon apart is its unique village-like layout rather than cramming everyone into one large building. The atmosphere perfectly balances liveliness and tranquility – vibrant entertainment in the evenings, peaceful relaxation by the pools during the day.
The resort features multiple pools including a main pool, adults-only pool (our favorite for its quieter atmosphere), a fun lazy river, and indoor pool. The evening entertainment is AMAZING – don't miss the QUEEN tribute band! Common areas are impeccably maintained with staff constantly ensuring everything remains pristine.
We stayed in a Deluxe Superior Twin Room with pool/garden views and balcony. The room was spacious with comfortable beds (better than mine at home!), reliable WiFi, safety deposit box, well-appointed bathroom, coffee/tea facilities, and complimentary mini-fridge. Everything was immaculately clean, though the air conditioning wasn't consistently working.
The staff truly made our stay extraordinary. Rene Marko, our waiter in the adults-only section of the main restaurant, went above and beyond with humor, professionalism, and genuine warmth. Karolina at the ice cream station, Andrea and Petra at the restaurants, and especially Susanna, our amazing room maid, all contributed to our exceptional experience. Check-in was seamless with refreshing juice and cool towels upon arrival.
The food at Olympic Lagoon is ONE OF A KIND – I've never experienced buffet food of this quality. Six restaurants offer incredible variety: Royal Olympic (main buffet), Captain's Deck (amazing local cuisine), Garibaldi (7-course with live piano), Seven Orchids (Pan-Asian), The Greats (concept restaurant), and Rock n' Roll Diner (American-style). Pro tip: book ALL restaurants immediately upon arrival! The resort has three bars with excellent cocktails and the Snackaria offering all-day snacks.
Olympic Lagoon is located about 15 minutes from Ayia Napa town. Landa Beach, just 5 minutes away, has crystal clear water and affordable amenities. The area feels extraordinarily safe even late at night, with good public transport (€3 bus) and affordable taxis. Everyone speaks perfect English and prices are remarkably lower than in the UK.
Despite minor imperfections, I rate our experience 10/10. It's so impressive that I'm already planning to return with my entire family. While not a budget option, the quality, service, and experience fully justify the price. If you go, find Rene – he'll make your stay unforgettable!
