Just returned from a one night stay at the Henipa. Stayed for one night enroute to Larnaca airport after previously staying in Nicosia on business.
The hotel looks really good from outside, but was below average and looks quite dated once you get inside. We booked the hotel through expedia and it looked a lot better on the website than it did in real life.
Scruffy and broken wardrobe and desk, along with faded decor in the room, no TV in the room and the room safe wouldnt work. Same problem with my colleagues room.
When we went to reception to resolve this we were told that the hotel was being upgraded, but no TV available and the safe remained unworkable.Strange smell of ammonia in my room, (I stayed in room 112) which was slightly worrying.
The staff were helpful but appeared stressed and we encountered many people at reception complaining about various issues which seemed to keep the receptionist very busy.
Not much around the hotel within reasonable walking distance and would advise having transport avilable. Hotel was absolutely bereft of any life in the evening which was surprising as we were there during the first week of August. We went out to a local mexican restaurant and this was really good.
Would not advise a long stay here but manageable if just staying over to catch a flight home etc.

Cockroach in the room on arrival.....
Poor food in resturang.....
The rum needed paint........
The air conidition dident work correct.

I use this hotel for all my business affairs as it is the closest hotel to the Larnaca Industrial Area (Aradippou Area) and most conveniently located outside the high way.

Food and beverage is above average.

Hotel management and staff very friendly.

I am using this hotel for more that five years now with very good reviews from my business partners and customers.

Beach is 200meters straight from the hotel. However to go to the city you will definetely need a car or a bus as its around 10km from the city centre.

Very quite with nice swimming pool.

Business facilities very poor however therefore I let all my customers to my offices that provides high speed internet access and fax etc.

Just returned from 3 nights at the Henipa, our third stay at the hotel.

The receptionist was quite friendly on arrival, we were quite early and asked to come back at 11am. When we got back just after 11am we were given a room. The rooms have had a lick of paint since our last visit. The beds had a new bedspread, old furniture but overall quite pleasant. Overlooking the pool with a small balcony. Bathroom small but all in working order.

Booked a half board option, breakfast medium buffet with hams, cheese, breads, selection of hot foods, yogurts. Breakfast is in a room in the basement, it is quite dark with no atmosphere.

Our first night was on a Saturday, there was a wedding party in the evening. This was held in the main resturant and also outside. This meant that hotel guests ate their dinner downstairs in the same room as used for breakfast.

In the past, guests would eat on the whole in main restaurant for all meals but it seems that this is mainly used for venues and is either being made ready for an event or being cleaned after a bash.

The buffet was awful compared with what we have been used to at the Henipa. A few dishes of salad, coleslaw, potato salad and then five hot dishes including some unidentifiable meat, First night only apples for dessert. We asked for carbonated water and we were given these in paper cups. All of the good food and luxury items such as glasses being used by the wedding party upstairs.

The waitress could not understand why we complained and she gave a big shrug and she was sulky for the rest of the time we were at the hotel.

The other evening meals were held outside, however the food had not in improved.

The hotel setting is lovely with flowers all round the grounds, the pool is kept clean at all times and the rooms improved.

The serice is a big let down, and the management seem to lavish all of the venue guests rather than the bread and butter hotel guests. I have inlcuded pictures from this weekend showing how nice the hotel looks, shame it doesn't follow through.

Last time I gave four stars, this time 2 stars. This is because I feel the management have a great hotel but are running it into the ground and concentrating more on functions. We will not be revisiting until we can see improvements
