Stamatia Hotel

The beach is close, which was handy since the small pool's sunbeds were mostly taken after breakfast. The food was decent, not amazing or bad, and there was enough choice to find something to eat without much waste. The all-inclusive drinks were nice, better than at other three-star hotels I've stayed at in recent years. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the wine and cookies on arrival were tasty. The reception staff were friendly. Service could have been warmer. They seemed to try to be helpful, but sometimes a smile would have made a difference. The serious problem was the wet stairs: they didn't mark them as dangerously slippery, and an accident led to a €70 taxi bill to the nearest hospital and nearly spoiled the holiday. They had a warning sign inside on a completely dry floor, so it was frustrating that there wasn't one there.

I went in June 2025 and really liked the all-inclusive food and drinks, the short walk to the beach, and the partial sea view. There was live music in the evenings too. I'd recommend this hotel.

The buffet had fresh salad, everything was clean, and most of the staff were really kind. The hotel is in a perfect spot in Aya napa. But the manager, the guy in a black shirt, was rude, and that's why I'm giving it only two stars. The all-inclusive package didn't include fresh water, pool towels weren't free, and the gym was bad, with machines that didn't work.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were spacious, well furnished and very well soundproofed, which matters because evenings can be noisy. The pool was clean and good. The location is excellent, near the port, beaches, the bus station for Nissi and other beaches that way, as well as other tourist sights. Breakfast was quite decent. The other meals were very poor. They leaned heavily on international food, especially Chinese, while there was hardly any local food. Fish seemed to get reused, as fish one day became fish pâté the next and fish soup the day after. Large bowls of creamy-looking food weren't labeled, so it wasn't clear what was salty or sweet, or whether it was salad or a spread. There were no salad dressings, just chopped vegetables to mix, and dessert was always the same crust-and-cream thing in different colors.
