Most travel companies will give hotels and apartments their own ratings based on comparisons to accommodations in other countries or feedback from guests. As Cyprus's official ratings can be worked out differently than other countries, you may see the same hotel or apartments rated as 2*, 3* and 4* by different companies. One of the best ways to find out if a particular hotel or apartments is right for you is to check the reviews on TripAdvisor, to see what other travellers like you have said.

Hotels - There are hotels which range from a 2* up to a 5* of international standard, they range from luxury hotels and beach hotels to family friendly resorts.

Apartments - Apartments in Ayia Napa are rated as either hotel apartments or tourist apartments. Hotel apartments are rated from A class to C class with A class being the highest. The ratings are generally based on the facilities that are available on the apartment complex and not necessarily the cleanliness, standards of service or anything else. Tourists Class apartments will not have a pool, nor a bar and sometimes not even a reception. The standard may be higher or lower than hotel apartments but the main difference is the lack of facilities that are available on-site.
The A to C class ratings do not translate into star ratings very well and so most accommodation providers and travel companies will give hotels and apartments their own ratings based on reviews and comparisons to similar accommodation in other countries.

Villas - Ayia Napa has a selection of villas which are mostly located at the edges of the resort in either the Ayia Thekla or Cape Greco areas. Villa's are not given star ratings as standard, though you may see some rated as gold, silver or platinum.

Holiday Villages - Holiday villages are sometimes rated in stars and sometimes in classes. Generally they are of better standard and with more facilities than hotel apartments but sometimes with lower quality sleeping accommodation than actual hotels.
