Among the multiple upscale resorts that line this stretch of coastline, the 272-room, four-pearl St Raphael Resort stands out for its private marina, generous all-inclusive package that covers some premium alcohol, and especially spacious beach. It has a full spa and fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, and a wide manicured lawn that sprawls out toward the sand. In high season there are a whopping six restaurants and three bars, most with impressive views of the sea. Rooms have a little beachy charm but overall are dated and underwhelming for this price; at least many have nice sea or marina views. It's well worth comparing rates with the kid-friendly GrandResort right next door, which -- thought also dated -- gets the slight edge in terms of decor. Its beach, however, isn't quite as deep, and its full-board rates don't include booze.

Kapetanios Odyssia is a simple, three-pearl hotel located in the heart of Limassol, a one-minute walk from the beach and a 20-minute walk to Old Town. There are 159 rooms in total, all of which have furnished balconies and mostly bland interiors. Amenities include a lovely outdoor pool with a mosaic bottom and hydromassage features (renovated in 2016) along with a kids' pool, a playground, and a simple fitness center. The hotel also has a few dining options, with half- and full-board packages available, and there's live entertainment four times a week, with traditional Cypriote dancing once a week. Overall, it's a solid mid-range choice for those wanting to be in the city center, but there are nicer beachfront options just up the coast, such as the all-inclusive St Raphael Resort.
