The strip is a 3 minute walk and is a good night out. There is a big supermarket opposite the apartments which sells most things. We went Malia last year and they tried to charge us for toilet roll but Anthea gave us them for free. The cleaners came to our room everyday but we didn't really have the room cleaned as they came early in the morning but they would always leave clean towels & clean sheets. Would request a room at the back where there is a separate pool which is chilled but you can still go to the pool bar and get food & drink, the food at the bar is nice and a reasonable price. However the music at the pool bar plays constant loud music from 10am - 7pm which was a bit annoying as we wasn't getting in till 6am and being woke up at 10am with a hangover wasn't the best to say the least lol. Our room was facing the pool which was ok at first. We brought a safe but never used it as the safes are in the reception but you get your own key. You can request air on and wifi but you have to pay for it on arrival or you can do it daily. I stayed here in July with two friends, When we first arrived we were surprised on how nice the apartments looked from the outside, there was a bar outside which was playing music and selling alcohol. Overall Aiya napa is a great place but if you look around you will find nicer places than anthea but might have spend a little more! Bad things: my room and my friends room were filthy and only saw the maids once on the hoilday when they came really early and had one of there kids with them! The maids didn't speak English so it was hard for them to understand when we ask them to clean are room! We also found dead wood lice in the door frame and a cockroaches! The pools were roughly cleaned with it still having green mould on the tiles! The day we left there were 2 rooms that had money taking from them,even though one of the rooms were left open! And not much you can do about it but there is a bell tower near the hotel that goes off early. I've just got back from here and I had the best time in Aiya napa! Good thing: the position of the hotel is close to shops and restaurants and a few minutes walk from the strip! The restaurant at the hotel were good with generous portions! The reception staff were good and speak English. After we had reported it we heard from a number of other groups of people that they also had money stolen while staying at the hotel with no sign of forced entry to their rooms!!! Real shame as apart from that I would recommend this hotel to anyone. The staff at reception did not seem bothered at all either. €800 was stolen from our room one night while we were out when ALL our doors and windows were locked!!!! We reported it to the police as obviously it is someone who has access to the room who had taken the money. So we decided to keep our money in our rooms. The hotel generally is quite good for a party holiday however, if you are planning on staying here BE CAREFUL!!! We had been told a couple of weeks before someone we know had valuables in a safety deposit box in reception that was robbed. Music throughout the day, near Nissi Beach, near the strip etc. The hotel is brilliant if you are in a group of young lads/girls. Rooms were as you would expect - liveable but nothing fancy. Travelled to Ayia Napa last year and had heard the Anthea was the best place to stay so thought we would try it this year. I strongly recommend Kandi beach party and Pambos pool party - these 2 events were the highlight of my week and I already can't wait for my next trip there. I had a great holiday in Ayia Napa and would definitely return again. If the red and green apartments arn't available for your chosen dates I would still recommend Anthea as a whole, it is a 2 minute walk away from the strip, 2 minute walk away from a convenience store, 2 minute walk away from Pambos hotel where the pool parties are held and 5 minute walk away from the Main Street of restaurants and shops. We made friends with several different people staying in the Anthea apartments and whenever they came into our room they would mention how much nicer it was compared to theirs. They are part of the Anthea block, so have all the perks of the Anthea apartments like the perfect location and access to the pool area, but they are privately owned so they are much cleaner and have been recently renovated. To anyone strongly considering staying in the Anthea apartments, I would recommend looking at the "Red and Green apartments".
