Bohemian Gardens Hotel

Another Fantastic Stay – Even Better Than Last Year!
This was our second visit to the hotel, and somehow it managed to be even better than last year.
It was lovely to see some of the same staff from our previous stay, who made us feel so welcome. A special mention has to go to Dimitrias, the restaurant and bar manager. He always went out of his way to stop and chat, making sure we were having a great holiday. His dance moves weren't bad either!
Another big thank you to Andreas, the night barman, who was always friendly and happy to have a chat whenever we saw him.
Our favourite member of staff was Kabita. I'm not sure what her official job title is because she seemed to be everywhere! She was always smiling, remembered our favourite drinks and food, and genuinely made our holiday feel extra special.
Everyone else, from the reception team to the housekeeping staff, was friendly, welcoming and always happy to help.
One thing we really like about this hotel is that there's no need to get up at silly o'clock to reserve a sunbed. There were always plenty available throughout the day.
There have also been some great improvements since our last visit, especially around the pool area. The new flooring looks fantastic, the sun loungers are much more comfortable, and the new relaxation pods are a lovely addition.
When we booked, we requested the same room we stayed in last year, and the hotel kindly gave us exactly that. We were very grateful.
The food and drinks were excellent throughout our stay. My only small criticism would be to go a little easier on the salt, particularly in the Fig Tree restaurant.
The location is ideal too. There are a few local bars and restaurants within walking distance, while the main strip is only about a five-minute taxi ride away or around a 20-minute walk.
Overall, we had another amazing holiday and couldn't have asked for more. We'll definitely be booking again for next year. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so memorable!

Great 12 nights stay at the Bohemian Gardens, booked a swim-up bungalow and it did not disappoint. The room was fantastic, it was so clean with a daily maid service.

We went on the AI board basis, plenty choice in the restaurant at meal times and the food was that good we didn't dine out once. Plenty choice at the poolside bar for snacks and drinks on the AI

The hotel staff are all pleasant and greet you every time with a smile, they never stop, whether its cleaning, serving in the restaurants on reception, they are all constantly at it, well done you create a great atmosphere.

The location of the hotel was perfect, not quite in the hustle and bustle but a nice 10 - 15 minute walk if you wish to go into the main area of Protaras. Just be mindful, there's a lot of building and road/pavement work going on in the area, so be careful, specially at night.

Would I book again?...... already planning for 2027

Bohemian Gardens Hotel

Protaras

Looks good but is it as good as it looks?

1067086694

Overall this was a nice hotel.
Positives

Plenty of very comfortable sun beds, always plenty available.
Location dusty and dirty due to roadworks all around. Not hotel fault but no mention from our tour operator. Sevice some very good friendly helpful staff. Location 20 min walk to protaras and 15 minute walk to pernia.

Negitives

Some staff very rude, being asked to pay for your drinks when you just sat down to eat dinner and what if you want a second drink? very rude only hotel i have ever been to who DEMANDS payment for drinks up front and i have been to many. Room Cleaning we had bird poop on our balcony for 2 weeks, stained bed sheets and stained towels. The hallway on floor two smelt disgusting like sick and damp carpet we reported this to reception but it was not put right.Food we had half board food always cold. The half board upgrade via our tour opperator was very cheap but come on the food needs to be good.
Rooms are nicely renovated but lack space for a two week holiday.

Would I come back? Yes if the price is as good next time as it was this time but as they say you get what you pay for.

As for all the 5 star reviews those people have never experienced a quality 4 star hotel.

Wonderful stay. Special thanks to Andronika on reception who went out of her way to make our holiday special. We had wonderful sea views from our 6th floor and had booked breakfast and dinner. The food was lovely and there was plenty of choice. The only negative for me was the hotel is a little far out from the main strip if you have mobility problems but about a 15 minute walk for others. This would be the only thing that would stop me re-booking. We were quoted €15 for a 4 minute taxi drive one way which I thought was really excessive and we couldn’t get a Bolt. Obviously not the hotels fault but it would be superb if they offered a shuttle service for a small fee as some hotels do. Overall a really positive experience here. Rooms lovely, beds comfortable and quite quiet at night. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Love this hotel staff are amazing
We have stayed in this hotel 5 times and going back in October we wouldn't stay any where else

Just got home from this little gem of a hotel. Staff were outstanding. The best sun loungers I have ever laid on and a perfect location. Pernera and protaras on the doorstep and a couple of local bars worth visiting..

Well what a great experience at this hotel, after transfer issues getting to the hotel we had a polite greeting by friendly staff and got a pool view room that was a bonus. The rooms were lovely and clean with everything you need. The sunbeds are so comfy and the pool is lovely. The restaurant and snack bar food was amazing and Evelena at the Pool bar made the experience great she was so lovely and friendly. Will definitely be coming back. Its about a 15 minutes walk into Protaras in the evening not an issue but in the day time wasn't fun. An amazing hotel and stay.

Very well situated, local amenities are excellent, atmosphere of the hotel is awesome, the staff are top notch. Rooms are clean well laid out, decent size for what you actually need & well appointed, the twin beds don’t lock together do they move is the only downside. Considering the price of other hotels in the area, really very good pricing, for rooms, drinks & food. We had a room above the bar, entertainment while hit and miss (some brilliant, some not entertainment), they turn down sound at a reasonable time, and it wasn’t disturbing at all. Really very happy with the quality of the food as well, was surprised with how good it was.
Overall great hotel, manager & staff doing a fantastic job.

Excellent, clean, friendly and in a brilliant location. Lovely walks, local bars, restaurants and beaches.

What can i say abour this hotel is wow. Its a must stay place where you are truly looked after and the food was amazing. Me and my wife went for our honeymoon and we were amazed by its cleanliness and atmosphere. The bar staff andreas and evelinna are bonkers, adorable and a right laugh. A great vibe and atmosphere and wonderful place to stay.

We have just had the best 7 days holiday in Cyprus this hotel is amazing we arrived late on our first day when we got to the room we had sandwiches and fruit waiting for us along with 2 small bottles wine
We got a beautiful sea view room our room was very clean air con worked perfectly
Staff here are very attentive & friendly always smiling it is table service for drinks at lunch & dinner time
Lots of variety the puddings are amazing
Pool area is great size plenty of sunbeds
Its around 20 -30 minute work into protoras from this hotel or a short walk to one of the smaller beaches around the hotel is a laundrette a few pubs and 2 supermarkets
There is a very good atmosphere here on the evenings they have quizes/live singers/music / karaoke and dancing and also have games room and entertainment for younger children
We will definitely visit this hotel again

My partner and I recently stayed at the hotel for 12 nights on a half-board basis and had a wonderful experience from start to finish.
The food was excellent throughout our stay, with plenty of choice every day and something to suit all tastes. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and very enjoyable.
The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and well-maintained. Housekeeping did an excellent job throughout our stay, and it was always a pleasure to return to a clean and relaxing room after a day out.
A huge thank you to Dimitri, the Hotel Manager, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His friendly personality and attention to detail did not go unnoticed and helped make our holiday memorable. He was always attentive, approachable, and took the time to speak with us, ensuring we were having a great stay.
The staff were welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxing, and we felt very well looked after throughout our holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return in the future.
Highly recommended!

The location is Perfect for a stroll to the beach .
The Bohemian Gardens is a very welcoming hotel. . The rooms are immaculate with daily cleaning if you wish.
The food is excellent always a good choice for breakfast dinner and evening meal. The maître D it’s very nice and welcoming when you go for your meals. All the staff are friendly and ready to help. One staff member stood out to us, thank you, Buddha.
The pool is kept very clean and lovely plenty of sun lounges and umbrellas,so you don’t need to save it with a towel. This was our second year here and we will be coming back next year thank you so much for making our stay special.

We are here currently and I have got to say this is one of the best all inclusive hotels I have ever stayed in. From the moment you check in you become one of the bohemian gardens family.

The rooms are modern with tea and coffee making facilities in the room with a small but adequate fridge. The rooms are cleaned every day to a very high standard.

The pool area is brilliant spotlesdly clean without doubt the most comfortable loungers o have had the fortune to lie and the weather is superb you pray for the occasional cloud around 3pm.....

Now we get the the jewel in the crown the Staff, food and drink. As i said as soon as you check in you are part of the family.
The staff are very helpful always happy to help and always have a smile on there faces even in such high temperatures.
The food in the restaurant is the best I have ever had in an AI hotel not the biggest choice (not like chain hotels, RIU, Barcelona. etc) but what is there is top quality and there is plenty of it and always hot.

We have also eaten at the poolside snack bar which is believe or not also amazing.

Special mention to the ladies in the pool bar who work so hard Evelina and Izabella plus so many others
Must also mention the man who holds it all together Matre de, Demetris a genuinely nice man nothing is to much for him always a warming smile greets you

Will I come back a definite YES

Will I recommend friends and family definitely

hi we have just returned from the bohemian gardens and this is my review . The pick from airport went well , the only thing was we had quite a few picks ups, so actually took nearly 2 hours to get there . So on arrival i was very impressed the reception area was amazing clean , the staff really helpful and polite , si we get to my room again pleased as it was modern and very clean we had pool view ( just anyone who as fear of heights not good as the balcony glass ) so bar and restaurant again amazing clean , the food wasnt great for me lots of fish dishes ( ok if u like seafood etc ) so i tried other meat dishes these i found very very salty and over cooked and dry , the staff was pleasant but struggled a bit with english but was happy to serve , no the bar area again spotless but the drinks not great ! the beers etc seemed watered down and the diet coke was awful it was so bad i had to go to the supermarket and buy cans in , rather defeats the idea of all inclusive really . So the pool area so very very clean the sunbeds really nice and had padded comfortable cushions was nice a waiter came round to serve not seen that in ages ! but my biggest issue was this hotel allows smoking even tho its strictly banned in public places in cypress , this was disgusting not just odd cigerette was loads round constantly smoking and clouds of smoke from vaping passive smoking kills and there children round too i have emailed the hotel expressing my concerns . so the other issue was the noise in the hotel loud music and people coming in very late being very loud ( yes i no everyones on hol ) but this was every night . so the hotel i think is quite far back from protoras i think a good 30 mins walk so we got taxi down €10/12 each way close to hotel is a couple of bars and supermarkets also 7 min walk there is a small beach . so all in all a nice hotel but i would not go there again

Loved the swim up bungalow

Before you think about booking your stay at the Bohemian Gardens Hotel I strongly suggest you read this review.

Myself and my wife's stay had several positives, but also a number of issues that affected the overall experience. We stayed for 11 nights on half board. Importantly, to the disappointment of ourselves and other guests, the hotel no longer allows swapping dinner for lunch on half board, with no explanation given other than its just 'the way things are in the hotels in the area'. This wasn't anywhere on any reviews or websites at the time of booking which was inconvenient to say the least. You must pay a deposit of 10 euros per towel for the sunbeds, also you pay for the safe every day however the lady on the front desk was lovely and due to our complaints she gave us the code for free.

Service & Staff:
The Hotel Staff were generally polite and well-mannered at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, communication was often difficult due to limited English, which led to repeated issues with incorrect drink orders and awkward exchanges. Countless times we asked can we pay now for our drinks at Dinner and they say yes but never come back to receive payment and we have to repeat ourselves. One time guests next to us had the exact same situations and asked to pay now and then when the waitress came back later, she said it already was put on the room, to which they awkwardly said okay its fine, then when after she left they were unhappy with the situation.

On one occasion even the manager had to step in and translate our request for a specific type of wine they offered on the menu. Reception staff, on the other hand, were very helpful and understood us - especially when we had issues with bugs in our original room, as they quickly moved us to a different one. They also gave us free lunch tickets as compensation.

Breakfast:
Breakfast was okay, consisting of the typical eggs sausages and beans etc but there were pastries which were extremely poor quality being so tough and almost frozen together being possible to pick up 4 in one. Furthermore, despite signage suggesting pancakes and waffles are always available, it is random on which days they will actually offer certain items, which caused confusion and disappointment for some guests. If you choose to sit outside (which we did every time) small birds reside in the roofing of the nearby apartment rooms which will, and do, eat unattended food rather quickly, so you can’t leave any food at your table or you will be suggested by friendly hotel guests to pass on the plated up food (happens more than you'd think).

Lunch:
We only experienced it twice however it had a decent selection of food some of which was also the same as Dinner but cant really complain too much here.

Dinner:
The afternoon dinner selection wise was pretty good consisting of meats, fishes and local Cypriot/Greek dishes. Sometimes myself and my partner tasted breakfast foods such as egg in some dishes which shouldn't of tasted this way at all, almost as if the dishes surfaces were not cleaned well enough which is an allergen issue. The labels on the food were almost always wrong, so if you have allergies be very careful as it might not be chicken or a specific sauce even as its translated wrong.

The availability of free water in the hotel is non existent and is really odd that its treated like gold dust. At dinner time and lunch time (for the twice occasions we went to lunch) tap water is not available for free. We tried to fill our water bottle up at the water dispenser in the restaurant but were rudely told no. Even down at the pool bar, if you aren't on full board its impossible to get water for free and must pay 2.80 euros for a 2 litre bottle. When we don't want to pay for drinks every day and night, which they state is compulsory for non All Inclusive guests, the least they can do is offer an alternative. It creates quite a disconnect for half board/BnB guests with the hotel. Even a water fountain in the reception would be a great improvement.

Facilities:
The gym was awfully ventilated with non-functional air conditioning, making it uncomfortable to use. When we asked, we were advised to come back and ask reception or housekeeping to switch it on each time we want to workout, which was impractical. The gym itself consisted of a bench with a barbell, a cable set alongside a dumbbell rack. Not amazing but was okay for our stay. The hotel has a good pool and some really comfortable sun loungers which are thickly padded. Plenty of sun loungers to choose from too. There is table tennis and a 2 euro billiards table. The rooms have a hairdryer and provide towels and hand soap. The beds were comfy too.

Cleanliness Issues:
We experienced bad issues with spiders crawling over the top corners of the room and dead beetles under the bedside table, all in the initial room we were put in, although this was quickly resolved after being moved into a clean room. There was also a strong pungent smell of cigarette smoke in the corridor coming from the maître d’ room on multiple occasions and spread into the luggage room areas, which is off putting, lazy and should be addressed.

Location
The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from centre of Protaras. The surrounding area to the west and south is quite barren, with open land and ongoing development of villas and houses, so it feels somewhat isolated, however there is a nice short walk across to the 'Potami' beach on the east side, which you can easily access by going through the back of the Papantonia Hotel Apartments. There are actually quite a few more beaches along the coast which are well worth checking out, one being Fig Tree Bay which is a popular spot.

Overall
A stay with some positives, particularly helpful reception staff and decent food, but several operational and policy issues—especially around drinks, communication, and facilities—detracted from the overall experience. Will we come to the BGH again...probably not because we feel we have completed Protaras however there isnt really anything which draws us back to this hotel. Its okay but nothing incredible.

This was our second stay at Bohemian Gardens, and after such a fantastic experience last year, returning was an easy decision.

Upon arrival, we were allocated a room on the first floor, directly opposite the lift and overlooking the car park above reception. Unfortunately, this made our first night quite unpleasant due to the noise. As we arrived late in the evening, we spoke to reception the following morning and they kindly arranged a room change for us, which we greatly appreciated.

We were also welcomed back with a complimentary fruit platter and a bottle of wine, which was a lovely touch and made us feel genuinely valued as returning guests.

As this was our second visit, we knew what to expect when it came to the food, and once again, we were not disappointed. Breakfast offered plenty of choice to suit all tastes, while the evening meals were varied, fresh, and of excellent quality. There was always something different to try, and the standard remained consistently high throughout our stay.

The upgraded sunbeds were another highlight this year. Best of all, there were no sunbed wars! Guests could enjoy a relaxed start to the day without having to reserve loungers at dawn with towels.

I'd also like to recognise the incredibly hardworking staff, particularly the bar team. One Nepalese lady stood out for her exceptional service, making the best frappés and mojitos. She seemed to be there from early morning until closing time every day and always had a smile on her face.

The only area that fell short for us was the animation team. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm and communication. Activities were often set up without any explanation or encouragement for guests to get involved. For example, games around the pool appeared briefly before being packed away, and aqua aerobics sessions started without guests really knowing what was happening. A little more energy and interaction would have made a big difference.

The evening entertainment was also a bit hit-and-miss. Some of the singers were fantastic and created a great atmosphere. However, the karaoke night was disappointing due to poor sound quality, and it ended very quickly as a result.

Despite these minor issues, we had another wonderful stay at Bohemian Gardens. The excellent food, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and overall value for money continue to make it a place we would happily return to and recommend to others.

Lovely hotel with a lot of plus points but some minus they definitely need to work on. Firstly the plus. Clean and new hotel, rooms are adequate and lifts either end of hotel and in middle so never waiting too long, maids are great, very professional and the electronic clean my room or do not disturb buttons are brilliant, we were half board only made breakfast once as like a lie in lol, breakfast was ok, evening meals were standard, draught lager was awful but i do find that in most bars in Cyprus. Pool area awesome never struggled for a sunbed and these are deluxe sunbeds, so comfy, great location with station bar opposite which we spent most nights in, pernera 15 min walk (house of lithos best live music) or protaras 20 min walk which we didn’t bother with much. Staff here are lovely no issues.
Ok minus points. Only 2 The animation team (2 young girls) and entertainment i get the animation team are young and probably first time doing this job but its not for them. No get up and go whatsoever, hotel states activities during day but they do not happen, one girl only ever appears in the day, puts stuff out ie goal net, swimming noodles, ball then disappears, doesn’t interact with anyone so no one knows whats happening, then 20 mins later collects equipment in? Then on the evening, quiz/karaoke, music is quiet and only one mic 🎤 so hardly anyone bothers! Only saw one singer on one night for 20 mins she was ok but then again no introduction she just started singing lol.
This needs addressing as it would be difference to me coming back or not
