4* Tsokkos Gardens Hotel

Overview

4* Tsokkos Gardens Hotel

Protaras, Larnaca, Cyprus

Star Rating: ****

Away from the hustle and bustle of central Protaras – but still plenty close to the action should you fancy dipping your toe in – Tsokkos Gardens Hotel ticks off all the essential holiday boxes. Less than 10 minutes' walk from the small patch of sand that is Marlita Beach, you'll be just a few steps from the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

The pool is the real star of the show here. A big, curvy number fringed with sun loungers, parasols, and swaying palms – sound relaxing enough? When you're not too busy worshiping the sun or devouring the latest page turner, you can grab a drink from the nearby poolside snack bar or get stuck into the daily entertainment laid on by the team. Inside you'll find a well-kitted out gym as well as a sauna, so keeping up with your fitness routine will be a cinch.

Buffet is the name of the game when it comes to the eats here, so get ready for second (or third) helpings if you can manage it. Expect themed evenings, show cooking, and plenty of international and local options to treat your taste buds. There's also a laidback bar perfect for a relaxed evening drink before calling it a night.
