A Holiday I Enjoyed!!!



It's hard to know where to start really, the Columbia Beach Resort was pretty much perfect for us and it was a wrench to leave and have to travel back home to the gloomy British weather. We'd already decided to take our holidays in Cyprus after hearing great things from friends and family who have been there before. We also didn't want to have to travel too far and Cyprus holidays seemed the perfect compromise to get plenty of sunshine but without having a really long flight.

At first we were looking for a hotel in Cyprus that would be close to lots of things to do and would be fairly cheap. We ended up having a change of heart when we started looking at what was available and we decided that we'd treat ourselves to a 5 star hotel in Cyprus and really make the most of our time there. Although it did cost us quite a lot more than we first had budgeted for it was definitely worth the extra money and once we decided it would be our only holiday of the year it made sense to splash out and really enjoy it.

I have to say that when it comes to Cyprus hotels the Columbia Beach resort really must be right up there among the best because everything was perfect and the staff clearly work hard to make sure that their visitors are happy. The reception staff helped us on several occasions to arrange trips and taxis so that we could explore around the area but in honestly we could have quite happily stayed at the resort the whole time because it was so relaxing and beautiful.

One thing we did notice was that there were lots of people enjoying golfholidays, Cyprus has loads of golf courses and apparently some of the best are around Pissouri but this didn't really appeal to us so we spent a lot of time at the pool and on the beach. It's also great for spa holidays because the resort has its own spa which has even won awards and we did make use of the facilities although I was reluctant to pay for treatments after spending so much on the holiday.

Being a beach resort you've got the beach and water sports and things right close to the hotel which is brilliant and would be fantastic for people with children. We found the food to be of a really high quality and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for some Cyprus fine dining! They serve lovely coffee as well which gave us a nice kick start in the mornings after a night of cocktails before!

The Columbia has a great reputation as a luxury hotel. Cyprus is a gorgeous place to visit and you really do get luxury if you stay here - you get what you pay for! If you want to splash out on your Cyprus holidays definitely give the Columbia Beach Resort a try. Would really like to go back one day but will probably have to save up for a little while first!
