   Had a fantastic week here with my sister last October, room was fairly basic but comfortable and we had plenty of space, facilities are good, very clean and family friendly.Its easy to get into Ayia Napa as the bus stop is right outside the entrance, hope I can get back again this year.

   My partner and I have just come back from the Macronissos Village, it was fab. The food was excellent, the people were friendly. Always something going on in the evening to entertain you. Pool and apartments were clean, gardens were beautiful. Its just one euro to get a bus into the main town and there were a few beach bays to choose from. Plenty of water sports too. The little super market next to the complex was handy, sold all sorts, I liked the cold coffee milkshakes. The Gym was OK but could have done with some free weights. I would definately go back.

   My partner and I, my 23 month old son and my 2 sisters are just back from Macronissos Village, when we arrived are room was a nightmare, we were given a bungalow which we booked but was not informed about all the stairs it had.  When we asked to be moved to another room we were told that it was fully booked, so the maintance guy came to the room and put a sun lounger mattress in front of one set of stairs to stop our son falling down them, he also told us to stand in front of them at all times to watch him (who goes on holiday to stand in front of stairs.)  We spoke to the rep who got us a different room with no stairs this was great.  The brochure also shows mattresses on the sun loungers there is none.  If people are wanting a family holiday and book a bungalow they should be informed about all the stairs they also have no hand rails to hold onto.  If we had of known this we wouldnt have booked to stay here.
   We booked all inclusive we got watered down drinks and had to pay for crisps and lollies this is the first all inclusive we have ever had to do this at.
   The food selection was poor there was no fresh fruit in the morning, the restaurant was so warm you couldnt sit in it.

     Reply from the Olympic Resort Manager;
     
     The bungalow was unsuitable for a small baby as it could have fallen down the stairs or down from the balcony.
     
     The manager of the hotel suggested putting a sunbed matress on the staircase.
     
     The rep checked all her bookings and saw that we had an 'Allocation on arrival' booking arriving the same day so we swapped them around to go into the bungalow and the guests with the baby to have an apartment without stairs.
     
     It is normal to pay for crisps and branded Ice cream in all-inclusive hotels. The Macronisos have 2 fridges for Ice Cream - one fridge for the FREE Ice Cream and one fridge for branded Ice Cream. All guests are told at the welcome meeting that they must pay if they want branded ice cream.
     
     The drinks are OK in the hotel and the food is of a good standard with lots of choice.''

   Stayed at Macronissos from the 25th june - 2nd july with my husband our 3yr old daughter and a few friends we all went all inclusive, flew from gatwick with Strategic Airlines, was really worried about delays as i had read a few bad reviews about them, but everything was absolutely fine, flights on time, duty free and snack trolley on board only niggle was no much leg room but what airline has nowadays....checking in was super quick the english speaking lady on reception is so nice and friendly and extremely helpful, gardens are beautiful hibiscus everywhere you look, we stayed in room 413, ground floor, rooms are dated, but they are clean, beds and towels are clean what more could you of asked for, have to pay for air con but it is so worth it, both pools are spotless, see the cleaners there every morning. Food....brilliant we never went hungry me and my husband are fussy eaters so that is saying something, bar snacks served between meal times too, little tubs of ice cream are delicious too, bar and restaurant staff are so efficiant really good at their job, entertainment was entertaining ha ha, my daughter was too young for the kids club but enjoyed the mini disco at night, macronissos beach about a 10 min walk if u can push a further 5 mins the landa beach is much nicer, took the bus to ayia napa for 2 euros for the whole day, ate out one night in the garden of eden very nice food and the waiters are very friendly...all in all a very fab holiday and would definately go back to this place and would recommend to everyone :-)

   Stayed at the Macronissos Holiday complex for a week all inclusive, with my partner in May 2011, flying from Gatwick.  The flight was good as was the transfer.  On arrival we found that our apartment was basic but large and clean, with a large balcony (slightly overlooked by the nearby apartments). The food in the restaurant was fine - there were always choices for breakfast, ranging from "english" breakfast generally with bacon, sausages, scrambled/boiled or fried eggs, tomatoes/mushrooms - to continental meats and cheese, bread/toast and good coffee!! There were also burgers, toasted sandwiches etc. from the snack bar. The evening meal consisted of soup/salads, followed by a choice of four main courses, and sweets. The entertainment staff, particularly Rob, worked very hard to keep everyone happy.  We're not pool people but chose to walk down to the small beach and we also hired a car and explored other parts of the island. The only negative for us was the traffic noise from the main road not far away.  Having said that, we would definitely stay there again.

   We stayed here in may, we travelled along with 6 friends. The rooms were basic but very clean and comfortable. The food was hot and if the buffet tray was empty then the staff were very happy to refil with fresh food. We found the drinks were great, not watered down as some have reported. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The beach was a 10 minute walk and the centre is 5 mins in a taxi. The entertainment was very good, We are all planning on going back next year!!

   Hi there i am just reading the reviews for the Macronissos,we stayed there 4 years in a row. But this was before it was upgraded. But we are missing it so will be back nxt year..

8. Olympic Holidays at 10:09 pm, 17 September 2011

   Hi we are going to this village all inclusive on Sun 21st Aug 2011, do they provide towels in the apartments??

   • Olympic Holidays at 07:09 pm, 19 September 2011

     We have just returned ffrom 2 weeks at the Macronisson Village and we were provided with a hand towel and a towel to use with the shower / bath - but not as large as a bath towel you would use at home! These were changed every other day for clean ones.

9. Olympic Holidays at 01:09 pm, 18 September 2011

   Hi we are going out soon could you please let us know if we need to take any towels for around the pool or are they provided. thanks

   • Olympic Holidays at 01:09 pm, 18 September 2011

     You should take your own beach towels with you or you can purchase them in the resort for as little as 5 euros.

10. Olympic Holidays at 02:09 pm, 18 September 2011

    hi were thinking of booking here next year, was just wondering how far it is from nissi bay as friends are getting married at the adams beach hotel and we are attending

    • Olympic Holidays at 02:09 pm, 18 September 2011

      10 - 15 minute walk or 3 minute drive

    • Olympic Holidays at 12:11 pm, 4 November 2011

      Its on the same road as the Adams Beach Hotel, only a little walk away, so would be perfect location for you to stay

    • Olympic Holidays at 10:11 pm, 9 November 2011

      Us Too! Its about a 15 min walk by the look of it on the map, but there are plenty of taxi's, and a bus route right outside!

    hi were due are to go the macronissos village in two wks and we wondering what kitchen equipment was supplied i.e kettle toaster and also is there a T.V in the bungalows as we are traveling with a 4 yr old?????????

    • Olympic Holidays at 07:09 am, 27 September 2011

      Hi, We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Marconissos where we were fortunate to have a bungalow (loads of room) You do get a kettle, toaster, fridge, crockery and cuttelry however there is no television.There is however, if you have a four year old a kids club that runs each day, one session in a morning and one in the afternoon. We travelled with two teenage boys (15 & 16) and they found their own entertainment i.e. the pool, football, volleyball and used the internet in the reception area.Hope this helps.

    well seen some reports and comments that runs this hotel down. went in may half term break the hotel was well equiped for a family of 2 adults and 2 children 13 and 11. water park is 10 walk away. the bus to the center is only 1 euro each and children under 11 went free, the trip takes about 5-10 minutes. the good thing is the bus starts and finishes at outside this result.
    food at the resturant is simple well signed and 3-4 differant dishes every night. the bar food is ordered from a menu and is served to you fresh. the bar is waitress services even for the allinclusive the come to your table clear the glasses and you can reorder.
    the room was well equiped double bed ensuite and the lounge area turns into 2 single beds. the dining are is spacious dining table and 4chairs this brings us to the kitchen area  kettle, toaster, 2ring hob, fridge and all your cutlery if you need to use it. i witnessed many couples and families changing to all inclusive it worked out cheaper for them.
    
    for a resonable cost holiday it was good i will be returning in the future as i go abroad 3/4 times a year i do not normally take notice of the comments however this resort has been given a bum steer by some who try to get a bargain and expect to be pampered like they were at the ritz. pay for what you get, here good food, good company/family atmosphere, good location good staff and to most kept clean every day.

    What a fantastic hotel.  We stayed here for the first time and after reading some of the reviews we were slightly concerned before arriving, but it was brill.  Food, Staff, pool, complex everything was fantastic.  Rob and Ted the entertainment staff are really good, bar and waiting staff are friendly polite and speedy with service.  The food was very nice not a lot of choice but very nice the soups served every evening ranging from Onion to Tomato were tasty and hot.  Plently of choice on All Inculsive basis on drinks, the happy hour from midnight is great value at E2 per drink.  Pool is very clean and warm and the deepest part in deep end only comes to my shoulders and I am about 5ft 2 so not deep.  The rooms could do with some updating but are very clean and spacious.  Cleaners are in nearly every day, we were there for 1 week and had cclean towels and bed changged twice in that time which surprised me for abroad.  I would highly recommend this hotel, its close enough to ayia napa without been in the centre of it all.  We are now pricing it up for nxt Sep.  Definatly worth a visit great time had bay all

    Just returned from a Weeks holiday here between 11h-18th Sept 2011. This was a lads holiday for Scuba diving and general relaxation, hence why we picked a resort 3KM away from the nightclub scene. We paid £395 each all inclusive (extra baggage allowance etc....) and I was very happy for what we received for it. The pool area is very well kept and plenty of sun loungers for all to use. The bar/kitchen staff are nothing short of superb and run around tending to your every need. Bar staff were generous with the brand X spirits and very quick and coming to your table when they noticed your were empty. I expected the food at an all inclusive resort to be poor but I was wrong, breakfast, lunch and evening meals were all up to a pretty high standard and lots of helpful staff. 5/5 for the staff and 4/5 for the food. The entertainments staff were all very lively and overly enthusiastic all the time. This would be a great place to bring the kids for a week or two. 
    
    The rooms however are what let this complex down, we had 2 x 3bed apartments on the 2nd floor. We arrived to nicely cooled AirCon rooms and had a decent nights sleep. I find the local bugs do not like AirCon cooled rooms so stay away. The following night we all came back to the complex to find the AirCon had been turned off, unable to get it working we walked down to reception and were told we had to pay €20 deposit and €6 per day for the use of it! However the reception staff had gone home for the day and left the night staff/porter on reception and he couldn't process our request. OK no problems, we thought 1 night won't hurt. We all woke up in the morning sweltering and covered in Ants! I don't just mean 1 or 2, I mean dozens of them, I woke up and noticed them all over my friends pillow on his bed 2 ft away from me. I personally had been bitten at least 5 times. They were EVERYWHERE! I took several pictures of the door frames, the walls etc... as I couldn't believe it. OK no problem I thought, everywhere can have a few bug problems. We reported it to our rep (who was always around in the mornings no problem) and she said she would report it to reception. We waited for the cleaners to do their thing and went back in. The Ants around the bed area were gone. Yay! However they were still all over the walls, the door frames and generally doing a conga between all the major parts of the room. We reported this to reception staff who basically told us that if we bought the AirCon we wouldn't have the problem, as the ants wouldn't be there. Now normally I would agree but I refuse to be forced into BUYING overpriced AirCon to rectify a problem clearly the responsibility of the hotel. We ended up digging our heels in and not buying the AirCon on principle, it wasn't a money issue (as we left the money to the bar staff as a tip when we left). We just left the front and back windows ajar to keep some airflow going. The Ants we blasted on a daily basis with an assortment of deodorants and sunblocks sprays :)
    
    In conclusion, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, but only if the AirCon was free!

      Resort Manager's comments ''The representative at the hotel arranged for the room to be treated for ants.  Ants are prolific IF food stuffs are left lying around on work surfaces.  They have nothing to do with whether the air-conditioning is switched on or off. The air-conditioning is payable in resort as per our brochure/web descriptions.''
