Our notes

A renovated beach resort among 363 palm trees

The GrandResort sits right on a sandy beach at Agios Tychonas, on the hotel strip east of Limassol, about 12 kilometres from the city centre. It runs as a Leonardo Limited Edition, the upmarket line of the Leonardo group, after a big renovation, and the hotel says its gardens cover 4,500 square metres with 363 palm trees - which is what the photos show: a large pool ringed by palms, with the beach and the sea straight beyond.

There are 255 rooms and suites on five floors, in soft pastel tones with oak furniture, including 22 swim-up rooms with direct pool access and sea-view rooms with balconies. Alongside the outdoor pool there is a spa with an indoor pool, a fitness centre, a seaside taverna and a buffet restaurant, and a kids' club - it is a strong family choice - plus what the hotel calls the largest meeting room in Cyprus. Guest scores are good across the board: Booking.com 8.6 from 2,626 reviews, TripAdvisor 4.5 from 1,841 and Google 4.4 from 1,651 (read October 2026). Leonardo's free loyalty programme takes 10% off online bookings.

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.
