Stathis Constantinou on what makes Louis Nausicaa Beach Hotel rank among world's top family friendly hotels

According to Stathis Constantinou, General Manager of Louis Nausicaa Beach Hotel, it was "dedication and hard work" that led to the hotel ranking among the world's top family hotels at the 2025 ΤripAdvisor Best of the Best Choice Awards 2025.

The fact that the accolade stems directly from guests's reviews about their holiday experience makes the accomplishment all the more important, he adds.

In an interview with CBN, Constantinou reveals what the popular Protaras hotel has to offer and no a more personal note, what it takes to run such a busy hotel.

Louis Nausicaa Beach Hotel ranked among the world’s top Family Friendly Hotels in the ΤripAdvisor Best of the Best Choice Awards 2025. How important is this achievement to you?

The recognition of Louis Nausicaa Beach Hotel as one of the world’s top family-friendly hotels by TripAdvisor is an exceptionally meaningful distinction for us. Most importantly, it is an honour that stems directly from the reviews of our guests – from the experiences they lived with us and the positive energy they felt in every interaction with our team and services.

At Nausicaa Beach, families are not simply a target audience – they are at the very heart of our philosophy. Every day, we invest in creating a safe, welcoming and genuinely enjoyable environment for both children and adults: with carefully curated facilities, engaging activities, quality gastronomy and – above all – the spirit of authentic Cypriot hospitality.

This award is a testament to the dedication and hard work of every member of our team, and proof that our efforts truly make the difference! It is also a reminder that creating warm, lasting memories for our guests is the most meaningful measure of success. It fills us with pride, but also with a renewed sense of responsibility to continue evolving and delivering experiences that exceed expectations for every family who places their trust in us.

As part of the Louis Hotels group – a brand with over 80 years of experience in the hospitality industry – Louis Nausicaa Beach proudly carries forward a tradition of excellence, innovation, and heartfelt service.

What are some of the hotel’s key features that you believe contributed to this award? What does the hotel offer to families that makes it stand out?

Louis Nausicaa Beach stands out because it offers a complete holiday experience, thoughtfully designed for families. We believe this award reflects a combination of key elements – from attentive service and warm hospitality to safe facilities and a strong focus on quality and detail.

The hotel features family – friendly spaces such as kids’ pools, playgrounds, dedicated entertainment programmes (kids’ clubs), and supervised activities led by trained staff. At the same time, parents can truly relax, knowing their children are in good hands.

Our seafront location, All-Inclusive offering, rich gastronomy, and overall sense of comfort and care all contribute to memorable family holidays – and that’s what truly makes the difference.

The hotel’s recent renovations during 2023–2024, including a fully refreshed main restaurant, a brand-new main bar, the addition of the Snackeria, and upgraded sunbeds and umbrellas, are all part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the guest experience. Receiving this international distinction is not only a great honour for Nausicaa Beach, but also a significant milestone for Louis Hotels as a whole — a validation of our continued dedication to offering high-quality, family-focused holidays across generations.

The hotel is located in Fig Tree Bay in Protaras – one of Europe's award-winning sandy beaches. What makes this location so special?

Our hotel’s location next to the blue flag in Fig Tree Bay, in Protaras, is truly unique — and one of our greatest assets. Fig Tree Bay is one of the most beautiful and award-winning beaches, known for its golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and a natural landscape that blends tranquillity with the authentic charm of Cyprus.

The beach is ideal for families, offering safety for children, easy access, and a wide range of water sports. At the same time, it is just a short distance from the heart of Protaras, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy both relaxation and vibrant local life, as they choose.

The natural beauty of the surroundings, the captivating sea, and the overall experience the area offers make our location a destination that guests return to in time and time again. It is the perfect setting for unforgettable family holidays.

What is the general philosophy of the hotel and what amenities does it offer?

At Louis Nausicaa Beach, our philosophy is to create a seamless, relaxing, and joy-filled environment for the entire family. Designed with family comfort at its core, the hotel offers spacious family rooms, a variety of kids’ clubs, a dedicated kids’ buffet, and engaging entertainment options including seven themed nights and a traditional Cypriot taverna. While children enjoy fun-filled activities, parents can unwind at the spa, stay active in the fully equipped gym, or simply relax by the pool. Every detail – from our facilities to our service – reflects our commitment to providing a well-rounded, family-centric holiday experience.

The hotel offers a comprehensive range of amenities and facilities, carefully designed to meet the needs of the modern family:

• Spacious family rooms
• Pools for both children & adults
• Kids’ clubs and activities led by trained professionals
• An All-Inclusive culinary experience with restaurants, snacks, and drinks
• Wellness facilities and relaxation spaces for parents
• Direct access to one of Europe’s finest beaches (Fig Tree Bay)

All of this is delivered with the warm, welcoming smile of our team – because we believe that the true essence of hospitality lies in life’s simple, human moments.

What else does the area have to offer to families, which they wouldn’t find anywhere else?

The Protaras area offers a unique experience for families that is hard to find elsewhere. It perfectly combines natural beauty with safety, tranquillity, and high-quality entertainment options.

Families can enjoy some of the cleanest and safest beaches in Europe, with shallow, turquoise waters ideal for children. At the same time, there is a wide range of activities available – from water sports and boat trips to nature trails, playgrounds, and family-friendly restaurants.

What truly makes the area special, however, is the authentic Cypriot hospitality that embraces every visitor. Here, families are not just welcomed – they are at the heart of the experience. This sense of warmth and closeness is something that cannot easily be replicated elsewhere.

What is it like to run a hotel in one of the island’s busiest resorts? Perks and challenges?

Operating a hotel in one of the island’s most popular and busiest resorts, such as Protaras, is both a unique challenge and a great opportunity. On the one hand, the continuous flow of visitors creates energy and vibrancy that drives us to maintain high standards of service and to constantly evolve. It is especially rewarding to see families returning and choosing our hotel for their holidays repeatedly.

On the other hand, the crowds require organisational flexibility and careful planning to ensure that every guest feels special and is consistently well served. The challenge lies in combining excellent service with the personal touch that defines authentic hospitality.
