Probably one of the best beach clubs in the area with a beautiful beach and warm sea. Beds very comfortable. Service throughout. Food was excellent. We shared the baby squid and a salad, and then both had the sea bass. All were cooked to perfection. Prices were reasonable, and the service was great.

Best restaurant to eat in Cyprus! Dishes very tasty, beautiful presentation and I would say even really generous! We have been there theee years ago and came back since was so good! A must is definitely the seafood orzotto, but also the salad with hallumi was quite nice! There was just a tiny issue, while there it stared to rain quite a lot, well for that you are uncovered and can’t do much! Rather than that, amazing place!

Excellent food, beautiful atmosphere, and very polite waitress. We had a wonderful dinner and really enjoyed the overall experience. However, just a small comment after our meal, we weren’t given the option to move to the bar and continue our night with drinks. Personally, I believe that when a couple is having a great evening, it’s important not to rush them. It would have been nice to feel a bit more appreciated and allowed to continue enjoying the lovely setting. This place is definitely more than just a restaurant — it’s perfect for relaxing with a drink too.

An interesting experience. Excellent cocktails and food!!! But yeh service could have been better to start with. We walked up and were told we could either have a table for an hour, or wait an hour and then have a table for 2 hours. Do the math!!! Luckily we were then offered a table for 2 hours (still didn't make sense at the time but anyway)We ordered drinks and food, one item was missing when the food came and then the staff realised she had forgotten to add it to the order... So we waited for the last item a bit longer.Waiting for the bill took a half hour. The ambience was lovely despite this. And we really enjoyed the cocktails, wine and food. But expect to wait a bit.

Isola is definitely the best place in Nissi beach to spend the day on their sunbeds and then also have a wonderful dinner by the sea. The people that welcomed us we very very kind and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.We absolutely loved the place and would totally recommend it.

The food was good and tasty. I would definitely visit again whenever I have the opportunity.The service itself is a bit difficult to describe. While the waitress was awesome, it felt like there was a bit of waiting time. Our table was also a bit unstable; maybe something for the restaurant to check out!The atmosphere is surely one of the best. It’s pretty crowded, but it offers a very beautiful view of a really nice beach. After a drink, you could run into the water and have a good swim. I recommend checking the place out while passing through Ayia Napa.

Comfy seats and so much better to book these than turn up very early hoping to get a normal sunbed on the beach. The lunch and cocktails were lovely. Cocktails expensive but that was expected. There is a lock box on the umbrella that no one explained to us about until we were leaving a couple behind explained the staff give u a band to open it to put valuables in. No staff mentioned this to us so when we left to go in the sea we had to take things with us. So if anyone reads this please know to ask staff for the band to unlock the lockbox for valuables to go in. Would definitely book again as it was a great location and so easy and stress free
