Find the Best Eptagonia Hotels

We’ve been to Cyprus for a 10 day break over the end of June/start of July. We have a lovely time at the hotel with many positives but also some negatives however still an excellent holiday. We are a couple in our late 20’s and after seeing other reviews about how it’s mainly for older clientele, we did not think this at all. There was an even balance of older and younger couples and groups at the hotel. I’ll start on the negatives to get it out the way. Sunbeds: One of the worst places I’ve been for sunbeds, it says no reservation however this is 100% not the case. Our first day we have to get 2 random beds from different sides of the hotel which the life guard helped with just so we can have somewhere to sit. The main pool and indoor/outdoor pool were both fully taken. The other part is if you’re not down there by 7am you aren’t getting a bed. It makes it worse as I’m not normally one for up early to put towels out but it makes you feel like you have to do this or you won’t get a bed. Not the best and needs addressing. I even saw a family leave the pool around 6pm and leave all there towels on the beds. I checked at 11pm as can see pool from room and towels still there so they clearly just keep the same beds for there entire stay. How this was allowed I have no idea, especially when they wasn’t coming out until gone 11am. Location: There’s not much around at all. You need a bus or taxi to get somewhere and even places we saw didn’t seem very worth it. Good for if you’re coming to relax and not leave the hotel. Now the negatives are done there are plenty of positives! Room: We were extremely pleasantly surprised when we checked in around 1am to see we got upgraded to a jacuzzi room. This was a lovely touch and the room was immaculate couldn’t fault in any way. Only thing was we got a turn down service for the first 3 days and then never again? We stayed for 10 days. Not sure if this was policy or who knows, was a nice touch for the start of the holiday! Only downside is the balconies dip lower near the jacuzzi? Could raise them to be the same as the start so have abit more privacy from the other rooms however not as issue we faced as other rooms were empty until our last days. Sea: The sea is incredible and 100% recommend going in! It’s nice and cold and is so refreshing to go in the mornings around 7/8am. They do paddle boards/jet skis etc all other water sports on the beach just outside the hotel which are from 6:30am which is lovely for a sunrise session in the sea! Food: The buffet is okay, it’s nothing amazing in terms of variety as it’s not very big however there is always something for someone. Another plus side is it’s probably the hottest buffet I’ve had, always warm but be careful the plates are boiling some days. The al a carte is beautiful and was honestly a 10/10. Presentation was incredible and tasted even better cannot fault at all. The BBQ on the beach is good and I’d recommend however was rather warm sat there with

Nice hotel, great location, spacious and clean rooms. There are questions about serving food in the restaurant, and the buffet is not very varied. I would not recommend taking full meals other than breakfast. Spa zone great also

Lovely place to stay at, a bit overpriced but overall we had a wonderful experience. Lost a few points on the several delays we had. Both from room service and team. The main manager gifted us a lovely bouquet though and made us feel warm. The manager at Locatelli, Mario, his team, and Chief gave us the best experience ever!!! We have returned several times to eat there and they took care of us every single time. Preparing amazing vegan/vegetarian food and Apu, our waiter, ensured that everything was amazing. The spa facilities are unique, we enjoyed all areas and the salt pool but the massage was so-so, for the price we payed. The breakfast area was very loud, waiters were arguing and it was very noisy. The constant music blasting everywhere was also not aligned with the serenity that this place aims to create. We were on the top floors and we could still hear the pool music until late hours. We will return back to Locatelli for sure. As far as staying there..we might give it another try.
