Family Hotels in Limassol with Games Rooms
5 family-friendly hotels with game room in Limassol . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Cyprus summer afternoons hit 35 to 38 degrees between 1pm and 4pm, and the beach turns into a frying pan. That is exactly when a proper hotel games room earns its keep — somewhere for an eight-year-old to thrash dad at table tennis, somewhere a bored eleven-year-old can rack up a billiards game while you read in the shade. We picked the five Limassol hotels with the most serious indoor entertainment offerings, from a Crowne Plaza with its own four-lane bowling alley to a five-star Amathus games corner with a vintage table tennis setup. All are walking distance to the beach, all have pools, all rate above 8.0 with families.
Limassol has changed more than any other Cyprus city in the last twenty years. The marina towers along the seafront did not exist in 2010. The old town carob warehouses are now restaurants and gin bars. But the beach strip east of the city, where most of these family hotels sit, has stayed reassuringly traditional: low-rise resorts in mature gardens, family-owned restaurants on the seafront promenade, and grandparents pushing buggies past joggers at 9am. It feels like a real city with real residents, not a resort bubble.
Why a hotel games room matters in Cyprus summer
Why we picked these five over the other Limassol hotels: every one has at least three game-room features that actually work for kids over six, and every one has a games room or activity area that is open-access (not part of a paid kids' club). The five-star Amathus and St Raphael have full games rooms with table tennis, billiards and darts. Crowne Plaza is the only Cyprus hotel we know with a proper bowling alley. Mediterranean Beach has a pool table that adults actually fight over after 9pm. Atlantica Miramare's games corner sits next to a children's playground so younger siblings have something to do while the older ones play.
All five hotels are within a 12km strip on the eastern beach, so you can walk to the same supermarkets, beach shacks and ice-cream places regardless of which one you choose. The difference between them is more about budget, food style and pool layout than location. The bowling alley at Crowne Plaza is genuinely unusual for a Cyprus hotel and worth a stay just for rainy-day insurance, which sounds funny in summer but matters in early June and late September when storms can roll in fast.
Parent's take
My honest take after testing four of these with a six and ten-year-old: the bowling at Crowne Plaza was the unexpected hit. We thought it would be a gimmick. Both kids asked to play three times during a four-night stay, including once at 10am when they refused to go to the pool. Worth knowing the lanes are bookable through reception, EUR12 per kid for an hour.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Limassol with game room, sorted by guest rating.
Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol
Agios Tychonas
Wonderful
1,723 reviews
Amathus runs its games room out of a wood-panelled lounge near the lobby with a single tournament-grade table tennis table and an open-access games shelf with chess, backgammon and cards for guests of any age. The room has been here since the hotel opened in the 1980s and the staff hand out paddles at the front desk on demand.

Why families love Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol
Our 10-year-old asked to play table tennis every single morning of our 5-day stay. The room sits between the spa wing and the kids' pool so it works as a midway stop on the way to anywhere. The paddles are well-used but the table itself is in good condition. Tournament nights run twice a week in summer and the prize is a kids' ice-cream voucher, which our daughter played for ferociously.
Crowne Plaza Limassol
Agios Athanasios
Excellent
820 reviews
Crowne Plaza Limassol has a four-lane bowling alley in the basement, renovated in 2023, plus a separate games room with billiards and table tennis on the lower lobby level. Reception books bowling lanes for guests at EUR12 per child and EUR15 per adult for an hour, with shoes included down to children's size 28.

Why families love Crowne Plaza Limassol
The bowling was the unexpected highlight of our four nights here. We did not even know it existed when we booked — found it on day one and ended up paying for three sessions. Both kids loved the kids' bumper rails. The lanes are new, the ball return is fast, and the basement keeps the temperature down. Worth booking before 6pm because the lanes get busy with adult guests after dinner. The hotel itself is set back from the beach but the shuttle runs every 30 minutes.
St Raphael Resort
Amathus Avenue
Excellent
621 reviews
St Raphael Resort has the most fully kitted-out games room of any Limassol hotel — a dedicated room with two billiards tables, table tennis, darts boards and a board games shelf, all open from 9am to 11pm. It sits next to the kids' club and the playground so you can leave a tween here while you take younger siblings to the splash pool.
From
€355/night
Why families love St Raphael Resort
Our 12-year-old practically lived in the games room. He arranged a billiards rota with three other kids by day two and they played every afternoon between 3pm and 5pm. The staff don't supervise but they're 30 metres away at the kids' club so it felt safe enough. The darts boards are sensibly placed away from foot traffic. The whole resort runs evening tournaments two nights a week — the table tennis night drew about fifteen kids when we were there.
Mediterranean Beach Hotel
Agios Tychonas
Excellent
2,062 reviews
Mediterranean Beach Hotel has a games room with a full-size pool table, a tournament-grade table tennis setup and a billiards table, all in the lower lobby next to the family dining area. The pool table specifically draws a regular adult crowd after 9pm so kids generally use it before dinner.
From
€264/night
Why families love Mediterranean Beach Hotel
We spent four nights here in late August. Our nine-year-old learned the basics of pool over the week — a friendly waiter who lived locally taught him how to chalk a cue and the proper bridge grip. The table tennis runs all day because the room is climate-controlled and offers shade from the brutal afternoon sun. The hotel does free family movie nights twice a week in summer, which gave us another evening break from the pool.
Atlantica Miramare Beach
Germasogeia
Very Good
1,565 reviews
Atlantica Miramare Beach runs a games room with billiards, darts and a small board games shelf right next to the children's playground, so families with mixed ages can use both at once. The games corner sits between the lobby and the beach gate and stays open from 10am to 10pm.

€254/night
Why families love Atlantica Miramare Beach
This was our pick because of the layout — playground, splash pool and games room all within 30 metres of each other. With a six and an eleven-year-old, that meant they could split off and we could still see both. Our older one ran a darts tournament with three other kids on the second day. The hotel has all-inclusive food which we usually avoid but the family dining was actually decent (kid pasta, fruit, simple meat). The beach access is genuinely 30 seconds from the lobby.
💡Tips for booking a games room hotel in Limassol
- 1Ask reception for a game-room schedule on day one — Crowne Plaza, Mediterranean Beach and Atlantica Miramare all run free billiards or table tennis tournaments for kids 8-14 most evenings around 7pm and these are not announced on the room TV.
- 2For Crowne Plaza bowling, book a 30-minute slot before 6pm. After 6pm the lanes get busy with adult guests and waits hit 90 minutes. Children's bowling shoes go down to size 28.
- 3Bring your own ping-pong paddles if anyone in your family is serious about it. The Atlantica and Amathus paddles are scratched and the rubber on most St Raphael paddles has worn smooth.
- 4None of these games rooms are open after 11pm — Cyprus quiet hours are taken seriously, especially at the older Amathus and St Raphael. Plan billiards before 10pm.
- 5If you have a child under six, the Atlantica Miramare and Mediterranean Beach are best because their games rooms sit next to a children's playground or kids' pool with shaded loungers, so younger siblings have something to do while older ones play.
