Have just returned from a wonderful two week holiday . The Akteon was an ideal base to explore West Cyprus, a hire care is somewhat of a necessity though. We stayed in a studio apartment which was clean, comfortable and spacious, and we were lucky to get one with a sea view, In fact my favourite thing was sitting on our balcony watching the sunset every day, simple but magical. The staff we found efficient and courteous, especially when I needed to find a local dentist for emergency treatment, which incidentally was excellent and cheap! All in all no complaints, it served it's purpose more than adequately.

My husband and I travelled to the Akteaon Vilage on 27th August for our 2 week honeymoon. We had a good time, but was told that it would be good for young couples and honeymooners. This was not the case, on the first week the hotel was full of families, which was fine as they brought some entertainment to the hotel. The hotel itself was lovely with nice decor and very clean. The location was a bit out of the way but easy enough to get to local attarctions via bus, taxi but this can be expensive.

Having read some previous reviews on the trip advisor website we'd heard about guests staying on all inclusive basis were treated differently, we discovered this a few days into out stay, when the restuarant staff would wait on paying guests first, and leaving us to order drinks when we had finished dessert! When we went to the pool bar and the restaurant we could see them looking for our wrist band as we approached the bars, the staff were unfriendly and sometimes arrogant.

The food in the restaurant was very repetative on the first week which i think in our exoerience of all inclusive this is the way it is, but at the end of the first week, we were having lunch and i bit into some pasta which was very hard - not the pasta but a big piece of sharpe galss! I informed the waiter and the manager came to investigate, nothing much was offered although he did apologise, but our concern was that a child could have swallowed that.

The evening entertainment was fun for children and families, but again a bit repetative.

Overall although we were unhappy with the some of the service we had a good holiday and the sun shone all day everyday and we really relaxed. I would not give it 5 stars as some brochures suggest but maybe 3 stars.
