Sun, Sea, and Snorkelling Bliss: A Dream Holiday to Cyprus
From the moment they arrived at the stunning Sunrise Jade Hotel, it was clear this was going to be something special. Greeted by warm, welcoming staff, they were treated to little touches of luxury at every turn — including their very own sunbeds for the whole week, complete with plush 2-inch padded mattresses for ultimate relaxation. And if that wasn’t enough, a sweet box of chocolates appeared each evening in their room — a little indulgence to end each day on a high note!
Of course, location is everything, and the Sunrise Jade delivered in spades. Set beside a beautiful beach with a sparkling, clear coastline, it offered the perfect playground for snorkelling adventures. Whether it was lounging on the soft sand or diving into the crystal-clear waters, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect.
Inside the hotel, the luxury continued. From the spotless, adults-only atmosphere to the stylish bathrooms with his and hers sinks and clever anti-steam mirrors (ideal for getting ready for an evening out!), every detail had been carefully thought through. Dining was a dream too, with high-quality food and flexible dine-around options that allowed them to swap dinner for lunch whenever they fancied venturing out in the evening.
Speaking of exploring — Cyprus made it easy! A handy bus stop right outside the hotel whisked them to Ayia Napa in just 15 minutes, where they found buzzing streets full of restaurants, vibrant clubs like Coco Bongo’s, and that lively Mediterranean atmosphere that’s simply infectious.
The adventures didn’t stop there. Her husband, a keen geocacher, snorkelled out to a nearby island to log a special find — an unforgettable highlight! And while April waters were still a touch too chilly for her, they loved relaxing in the early spring sunshine, wandering through nearby towns, and soaking up the laid-back Cypriot vibes. In fact, despite usually sticking to a ‘never-go-back’ rule, they’ve already decided to return next September — just so they can both dive into the (slightly warmer!) waters and enjoy even more snorkelling!
One of the best parts for them? Having me as their personal travel expert took away all the stress of planning. “I didn’t have to spend hours researching — you found the perfect hotel for us!” she shared. “My husband was so happy, and we couldn’t have asked for better.” Hearing how much smoother and more relaxing it made their trip is exactly why I love doing what I do.
When I asked if they’d recommend booking through me, they didn’t hesitate: “Definitely! Get you on the case!” And with dreams of a Norwegian Fjords Cruise next on their horizon, I can’t wait to help them create even more incredible memories.
Thanks so much Leigh Atkinson for using my service for booking your holiday, and for agreeing to a post holiday interview!
