Constantinou Bros Athena Royal Beach Hotel

Rooms at the Athena Royal Beach are spacious and straightforward, which is exactly what you want when you're living out of a golf bag for a few days. Expect twin or double set-ups, air conditioning, satellite TV, a safe and a private balcony that's big enough for a post-round drink rather than just a standing space.

If you can, go for a sea view or side sea view room. It's a small upgrade that pays you back every morning when you're checking the weather before heading out. Inland-facing rooms tend to be quieter and can be better value if you're planning to spend most of the day on the course.

Bathrooms are modern and functional, with walk-in showers in most rooms, and there's plenty of storage for shoes, outer layers and the bits that come with playing in warmer conditions. Travelling with your own clubs? The room sizes make it easy to keep everything tidy, with space to lay out kit, dry off after a late-afternoon round and reset ready for an early tee time.

For groups, the hotel's adults-only set-up works well because evenings stay relaxed and you're not competing with family entertainment for dining times. If you want us to match rooms close together or prioritise a specific view, we can request it as part of the booking. The hotel also offers early breakfast service for those with morning tee times, and there's a laundry service available if you're staying longer or need to refresh kit mid-week.

Balconies are genuinely usable, not just token outdoor space. You'll have room to sit out with a beer after a round, check your scorecard and watch the sun drop over the Med. It's the kind of detail that makes a difference when you're spending a week somewhere, especially if you're the type who likes to decompress with a drink and a view before heading down to dinner.

The hotel's five restaurants cover a broad range of dining styles, from buffet to à la carte, ensuring variety across a week-long stay. The Oasis Restaurant serves a breakfast buffet with hot and cold options, plus a selection of salads, snacks and desserts throughout the day for lighter meals. The Pygmalion Restaurant handles buffet dinners with live show cooking, a popular feature that adds theatre to the evening meal and keeps the menu rotating across the week.

For a more refined experience, the Aphrodite à la carte restaurant offers a reservations-only dinner service with a focus on Mediterranean and international dishes, presented with more attention to detail than the buffet options. It's the kind of meal that feels like an occasion, worth booking for the end of a successful round or celebrating a trip milestone. The Olive Tree Restaurant, positioned beside the main pool with sea views, serves relaxed lunches featuring fresh salads, grilled dishes and lighter fare, good for a post-morning-round refuel without the formality of a sit-down dinner.

All-inclusive packages are available and are a good way to keep budgets tidy for groups. In Cyprus, à la carte dining is often included on a limited basis or with selected menus, so we'll confirm exactly what's covered for your dates before you book. The variety across the five dining venues means the all-inclusive package doesn't feel repetitive, even over a longer stay, and the option to book à la carte adds flexibility for those who want to elevate one or two evenings without leaving the property.

Leisure facilities extend beyond the pool and beach. The Spa & Wellness centre includes a sauna, steam bath and treatment rooms offering massages, facials and body treatments, all bookable in advance or on arrival. For golfers, the steam room and sauna are particularly useful after a long day on the course, especially during the hotter months when hydration and muscle recovery become priorities. The hotel also provides a fitness centre for those who want to maintain routines between rounds, though most guests gravitate towards the pool, beach or spa for their downtime.

The beachfront location gives access to the Mediterranean, with sunbeds, umbrellas and towel service provided. The sea here is calm and clear, good for a morning swim before heading out to the course or an evening dip after dinner. The pool area, with its sea views and adults-only atmosphere, remains the social hub of the hotel, where guests gather for drinks, light meals from the Olive Tree and the kind of easy conversation that comes with shared sunshine and a few rounds of golf under the belt.
