We enjoyed our stay at Grecian sand hotel, staff are very friendly, location is great, breakfast buffet had a great variety of pastries, fresh juices, coffee, cheeses, breads and eggs. Highly recommend getting breakfast when you book your stay it’s worth it. Pool area is clean, they have a playground for the little ones. Beach is nice, rooms are clean and balconies are spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Would stay there again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Ayia Napa area.

Some fine tuning needed

Some fine tuning is needed in some places, mainly in the variety of the breakfast and lunch buffet, as well as in the rooms which feel a bit dated vs the common areas. The staff is helpful, polite and accommodating.

What an amazing stay we had at the Grecian Sands. This hotel is pristine, well managed and in an excellent location - away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ayia Napa and yet close to all of the amenities needed for an excellent vacation. This is one of 3 hotels they have on the island with great dinning options to choose from. Their breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff was genuine & friendly, thank you for being such great hosts Christos, Georgina and Avraam the hotel manager. The sea is so beautiful with caves and great snorkeling. We come from the US and the travel time can be lengthy, but the trip was well worth the time. We highly recommend it and we will definitely visit again!!

Excellent Stay

Just came back from a fantastic holiday to Ayia Napa and stayed at the stunning Grecian Sands Hotel. Oh wow, Grecian Sands is everything and we experienced first hand why this is one of the best rated hotels in Ayia Napa. I used to work in a hotel so I have an eye for excellent hospitality. It started at check in where Maya allocated us a room with the most breathtakingly view. We had many sunset photos from our balcony. For the first time I didn't request a change of room after check-in. It had everything we needed, two sinks in a large bathroom that had a bath 🛁 and separate walk-in shower. Fully stocked with all the amenities. We had complimentary bottle of water, apple and the tea and coffee. Someone comes around during the day to top up. There's a pool outdoors and one indoors, best gym not to mention the pièce de résistance, being on the beach. That's just perfect. Breakfast selection is superb. The staff so friendly particularly the female chef at the hot food section (chatted with her so much but didn't take her name). Stella in the main room was brilliant too. We went to the Roof Top restaurant for dinner on our last night, the view of the sunset was beautiful. The weather in Ayia Napa was scorching and there are many different places to cool down. The walk into town is only few minutes. Safe to walk at all times of the night and day. Huge thanks to the reception team, Athina (beautiful and always ready to help), Fitos ( his smile so warm) and lovely May
