Crowne Plaza Limassol by IHG
Bay views and two pools, a taxi ride from the slides
About this hotel
Crowne Plaza sits on the Limassol seafront with Columbia Beach a minute's walk away, so a family can bookend a Fasouri Watermania day with a proper sea swim instead of heading straight back to the room. The two on-site pools cover the days nobody wants to load the car for a park run, and the spa and hot tub give parents a slower morning while the kids do laps. Breakfast is available for a fee rather than bundled in, so budget for it separately. Airport transfers run roughly three-quarters of an hour by taxi, workable for a week-long slides trip rather than a quick weekend. What sells the stay is the fitness center and business-friendly layout sitting alongside genuinely kid-friendly service, so a multigenerational group with different daily rhythms all get looked after.

Our take
This suits a family that wants a proper hotel around a water park trip: two restaurants, a spa and a seafront pool deck mean everyone has somewhere to be when the group splits up. It's less of a fit for a bare-bones overnight stop, since the four-star pricing and paid breakfast reward a longer stay that actually uses the amenities.
- ✓Book the sea-facing rooms early if a Fasouri Watermania trip falls in the July or August school break, since bay-view stock goes first.
- ✓Add breakfast at booking rather than on arrival if the whole family is eating there daily, it usually works out cheaper.
- ✓Confirm the airport shuttle schedule ahead of a late arrival, since public transport to the airport runs over an hour.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWhat stands out about a stay here is how little logistics gets in the way of a Fasouri Watermania day: the car is parked for free, the pool deck covers the mornings nobody wants to rush, and Columbia Beach around the corner means the evening swim doesn't need a plan. The rooms run generous for a family sharing kit, and the second restaurant means nobody argues over dinner. It reads as a hotel built for a full week, exactly what a water park base needs.
