The 344-room Callisto Holiday Village is a chain hotel with an all-inclusive option located on a beautiful, sandy beach with a seaside tavern and water sports facility. The no-frills rooms have kitchenettes and an all-inclusive plan is available. Located within a five-minute drive of the nightlife and restaurants of central Ayia Napa, this hotel has a large pool with a shallow end for children, but can get crowded (and lounge chairs are often reserved very early). Families traveling with children may want to look into the family-friendly Atlantica Club Sungarden Hotel that has a popular animation team.
Scene
Big beachfront hotel
The Callisto Holiday Village is made up of white buildings with bright, blue balcony railings surrounding a large, lively pool area. A white facade, stone paths, and pretty palms provide a lovely setting for a relaxing stay. The lobby is simple and appealing with red, black, and cream couches. This hotel is popular with families, and the beach and pool can be crowded and somewhat noisy.
Location
Near other Holiday Villages and within five-minute drive to Ayia Napa center
The hotel is located near two other Aqua Sol Holiday Villages and within a five-minute drive to the nightlife and restaurants in the center of Ayia Napa. WaterWorld, a waterpark with slides and a wave pool, is less than a five-minute drive, and Nicosia, the capital and largest city of Cyprus, is an hour’s drive away. The resort area of Protaras is within a 20-minute drive.
Rooms

Wi-Fi is free, but can be temperamental.
Features
Beach volleyball court, pretty beach, huge pool, and children's entertainment
One highlight is a huge pool where guests play volleyball and children climb slides in the shallow end. The buffet restaurant has shaded seating out by the pool. It can get noisy at the beach, a sandy area with blue-cushioned lounge chairs and a nearby sports facility where guests can pay to rent jet skis and pedal boats with slides in the middle of them. There is an indoor pool and hot tub. There’s also a spa with a hair and nail salon. In the evenings, quality entertainment is provided to suit all ages including singing and dance shows. A supermarket on the property sells food and alcohol. The fitness center is small with a couple treadmills, an exercise bike, and hand weights. There’s an animation team as well as a beach volleyball court, tennis courts, and ping pong and billiards tables. The hotel has an Internet corner with three computers and conference rooms are available for meetings.
