Our notes
A beach resort with its own marina
St Raphael sits on the coast road at Pyrgos, on the quieter eastern edge of Limassol, about a quarter of an hour's drive from the city's seafront and old town. It is a classic family-run Cypriot beach resort - a long sandy beach with rows of parasols, pools set in mature palm gardens, an indoor pool and the Serenity Spa - with one thing almost no other hotel on the island has: its own yacht marina next door, with a yacht club and berths for visiting boats.
All rooms were fully renovated by 2019, according to the hotel, and there is a newer Tower and an Executive wing of 56 rooms with separate bedrooms that suits families, plus a handful of large suites. Restaurants and bars range from a terrace bar facing the sea to an indoor lounge with a piano, and an all-inclusive package is offered. Guests rate it well across the board: Google 4.6 from 2,290 reviews, Booking.com 8.8 from 586 and TripAdvisor 4.5 from 2,592 (read September and October 2026). Ask for a true sea view when you book - one recent guest found a 'sea view' room looked out sideways.
The area
Limassol is Cyprus's second city and its liveliest: a port on the south coast that grew rich on wine, shipping and, more recently, finance, with a long seafront promenade - the Molos - lined with palms, sculpture and cafés. The old town behind it is a compact tangle of lanes around the medieval Limassol Castle, where, according to tradition, Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre in 1191 and crowned her Queen of England. Nearby, the old carob warehouses by the old port have been turned into restaurants and bars, and the new Limassol Marina, with its yachts, shops and waterfront restaurants, has become the city's evening meeting place.
History runs deep along this coast. Ancient Amathus, one of the island's old city-kingdoms, sits right beside the eastern hotel strip, with its acropolis and the remains of the agora above the sea. To the west lies Kourion, the most spectacular of Cyprus's archaeological sites, with a Greco-Roman theatre on a cliff above the bay and fine floor mosaics, and close by the medieval Kolossi Castle of the Knights of St John, centre of the old sugar and Commandaria wine trade.
What else to do: drive up into the Troodos mountains, about an hour away, for painted Byzantine churches that are on the UNESCO list and wine villages such as Omodos; taste Commandaria, the sweet wine made here since the Crusades; swim from the beaches east of the city or at Lady's Mile to the west; and walk the seafront at sunset. Limassol's long season is its strength - the sea is warm from June to October, and April-May and late October are pleasant, quieter months with lower prices.
