Golden Coast Beach Hotel
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A long-standing beachfront favourite right on a calm, gently shelving stretch of sand near the northern end of Protaras. The water off the hotel beach is shallow and clear, which is exactly what you want with paddlers, and there is a small waterslide, a kids club and an arcade to keep older children busy when they tire of the sea.
Our verdict
For families who prioritise a calm beach on the doorstep over a big slide complex, this is one of the safer, easier bases in Protaras.
The rooms
Comfortable sea-view and land-view rooms, with family rooms that fit two adults and two children. Ask for a sea-view room on a higher floor for the sunrise over the bay, the land-view rooms are cheaper and perfectly fine for a beach-heavy week.
