Awesome, Friendly place.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Aug 2024
This is an awesome little place. I’ve really never encountered such genuine friendliness from staff, there are a couple of characters who are very welcoming and some of the friendliest people you will encounter.

Great location right beside the beech and seconds away from top quality restaurants and bars.

Accommodation is basic but great, great air conditioning, two pools.

Contrary to another reviewer there was never an issue with sunbed acquisition, sometimes if you snooze you lose but staff said if there’s ever an issue just go to reception and they will get you some. It was the first time I’ve felt that there was no sunbed dashing to be done, yes some places towels and disappeared but this was minimal and you could always get sorted.

A really pleasant stay, awesome atmosphere, for the first time we are considering retuning to the same place again.

Can’t speak highly enough of Matina in every respect.

As per review title really.
I would give a 5 if there were no issues at all however it was virtually impossible to get a sunbed to use after 9/10am (on the side of Peoples Snack Bar). There is a notice poolside about reserving sunbeds but it is not enforced and nobody takes any notice. This was from majority British people too, not Europeans. People blatantly going down with towels at 8am not coming back until 11am or later. Unfortunately you have to become part of the problem otherwise you wouldn't have anywhere to sit for the day.
There are plenty of hotel grounds that could be developed for additional outdoor. space.
Housekeeping insisted on changing beds while we were in the room when we didn't require it but wouldn't take no for an answer.
There is a really slippy part between the two pools that is not cleaned - water collects, turns green and is ultra slippy.
Despite this
Friendly English Man on duty for our arrival however local staff on reception were friendly and helpful but only needed them when I went to pay local tourist tax
Room is clean, tidy, a bit tired in places but there were USB chargers, free air-con, and the usual self catering facilities.
On-site snack bar (Peoples) very good.
Solve the sunbed problem and get a '5' bearing in mind its star status.

Room tip: When TripAdvisor suggests "The pool gets crowded so snag a spot early on" then it is part of the problem.

Just come back from a fantastic experience at Matina! We were welcomed by very friendly and helpful receptionists, and it was very easy to find our apartment. The facilities were great, plenty of sunbeds by the pools, two places to eat and a supermarket. The thing that really made our stay special was the staff - all waiters were so friendly and chatty and said goodbye when we left. Food was very good quality and great value for money. Live music in the evenings sounded fab, and there was good coverage of the football final in the bars! There was a fantastic acrobatics performance by one of the pools one time (picture shown). Also the most perfect location because it was a 2 minute walk to the beach! We will definitely return, but this time with all our friends :)

Fantastic self catering hotel. Very clean, staff are friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. Rooms have everything you need for a good stay. 3 pools, which are cleaned every day. 5 minutes from the beach, restaurants, and bus stop to travel the island. Surrounded by large hills and stunning scenery. Definitely worth the visit.

We have just returned from our 4th visit to Matina! Another fabulous stay. Location & facilities spot on. Staff some of the friendliest you will ever meet! Our apartment was a little dated but the cleaners do an amazing job and they are more than adequate for a comfortable stay! Our girls are older now so it's not an issue for us anymore but I do feel the outdoor playarea could do with some attention. Missing a trick as its in the shade for parts of the day so would be a welcome change from the pool for the younger ones. Favourite places to mention Happy Friends, Zig Zag, Oasis... I could go on. Everywhere is wonderful!! We will be back. Don't hesitate to book, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful time 😊
