We had a wonderful holiday and truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Everything was very clean, and the rooms were cleaned thoroughly every day. Housekeeping did a great job. The food in the main restaurant was always delicious, in fact, after one week we all gained some weight! 😊 We also visited the Oriental and Indian à la carte restaurants. Both were tasty and offered an interesting experience with different flavors and атмосpheres. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful. I would especially like to highlight Meryam at the reception — she was professional, welcoming, and always ready to assist us. The only downside during our stay was the very loud music by the pool on Friday when they organized an event with huge inflatable mattresses. The music was extremely loud and lasted for about four hours. Unfortunately, our child could not fall asleep in the room because of the noise. Overall, however, the hotel is very quiet and pleasant, at least in February. We were also lucky with the weather. There were only two days with a cold wind, and the rest of the time we enjoyed beautiful sunshine. The hotel territory is well-maintained and beautiful, with many nice spots for photos. There is also a souvenir shop, as well as a spa offering massages, saunas, and a jacuzzi. We would happily recommend this hotel and would consider coming back again.

7/10 Good! (83 reviews)

We stayed at Pyramisa for a week. We had two children along with our 80 year old grandmother. Upon arrival we were placed in a room at the end of the hotel near the beach. However, there were no lifts and 1000’s of stairs. It took us 15 minutes to get to reception/pool area. We had to change rooms which took hours and hours. Even then, the rooms were not so close to the reception. They also had to downgrade the room to get us closer to reception and would not refund us the difference between the family room we booked and the standard room we ended up staying in. The pool area is lovely and the beach as well. However the hotel is just very inconvenient with the lift situation. Toilets by the pool are absolutely filthy and the odour is awful. The food was ok, but was always cold. Salad bar is nice and drinks are too: Staff were also ok, quick to tend to your needs. Overall, I wouldn’t visit again. It definitely isn’t a 5 star but was ok.
