Hi Chris
To you, your wife, your parents and your sisters my cordial greetings. It was such a joy – this time with you in your home. I still remember a key sentence of your sister Nizza when we again were late for breakfast. When I excused she said: “You’re not in a hotel here but in a family.” This showed the caring and warmhearted attitude of your family. I promised to send you my latest book “My wheelchair has wings” in a separate letter. We felt in many ways very very protected and are thinking seriously for coming back perhaps later in the year. Enjoy swimming in the swimming pool improving your strength. Also I do hope that I will find a room for you if you would stay in Berlin for a couple of days.
My warmhearted greetings to you and your big family,
Irmhild

Dear Chris and all the family.
Thank you for yet another lovely stay at the nicest, friendliest and the extremely well equipped hotel we have ever been to!. We are really inpressed by the the equipment and planning both for those of us who are disabled and for us who are not! Fantastic to know that you can pick up guests both from Larnaka and Paphos airports, and that there is so much equippment to hire from Chris´ company "Paraquip".
Your hotel and your company are run with a warm heart, humor and frendliness, and everything is arranged out of your own experience of disability. The town Polis is a lovely little place, a place where wheelchairs can walk easily! And the surrounding areas are so beautiful and can be explored thanks to the minibus excursions you can arrange. Andreas!! Thank you for telling us about the Episkopi natural Museum and the magnificent Ezousa walley. It was an unforgettable visit for us.
So - Chris, Eva, Andreas, Nitza, the rest of the family and your wery competent staff - thank you for our stay. We will be back in april 2014 and we so much look forward to laugh with you again.
Lots of love from your Swedish friends.
Ann-Britt and Hans

Hi Chris and all the family,
We really enjoyed our stay with you in Polis yet again, everybody is so relaxed, friendly and helpful - the whole holiday feels easy and comfortable.
The best accolade I could give C & A Apartments is that when Susan woke up this morning her first words were "can we go to Cyprus again, they are nice people" - Susan can be difficult to please so you should be delighted with her response. Regarding the transfers with Andrew on arrival and John on departure everything was perfect timing and efficient, carried out with a friendly attitude - excellent service. Both drivers even made sure the speed bumps in the road were negotiated slowly and comfortably. Best wishes to you and all the family from all of us here in England.

You all Eva, Andreas,Charoulla, Nitsa, John, Kumer, Elvera and some other made our holiday wonderful. I have read before about you and your hotel but what we got was more.All facilities were good and the homemade food was good. Allways someone, from Andreas to Kumer, was asking, is everything ok. Thank you e.g. for the Easter BBQ. You used your family celebration for us.In the morning we have to leave, Eva saw that I am not hungry. She said, its a long travel, you could make me a fried egg!!!

Dear Chris and Family,
Our sixth visit to your apartments – and I see from your Friends of 2013 section that we missed Philip and Julie by only a week and they were on their tenth holiday with you. So many people return year after year that your reputation for hospitality and a brilliant service speaks for itself. We initially holidayed with you because we could no longer book a holiday without transport from the airport that enabled passengers to travel in their own wheelchairs. This year we booked a trip in the accessible van to Nicosia and went to visit the fabulous Cyprus Museum and the Handicraft Centre. We saw weaving and pottery, woodcarving and lacemaking, all under one accessible roof. Well worth a trip and with a driver that knew where the best accessible loos were it made the long trip very smooth.This year we saw folk dancing in the square, for a special event, and enjoyed Easter with you too. Two, of our party of four, bought shoes at your amazing local shoe shop. Every year we discover new things in Polis as well as loving the walks along the sea at sunset. Your international guests were all a delight and we made new friends from Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Denmark.

Dear Chris
I am now back in England's cold weather and missing the warmth of Polis. Thankyou once again for your hospitality- the food, the wine and the friendship of out Cypriot family. The adapted taxi tranfers went well with tie downs and seat belts for both wheelchair passenger and room too for the two able bodied. We were met on time at the airport and the departure times were also on time. The trip to Nicosia in the adapted taxi went well. I am already missing the great breakfasts and home made bread plus the wonderful dinners. I can't wait to come again.

Very many thanks for making our stay in Polis so enjoyable. When I decided to come with Heather and Ellis I knew it was not going to be an easy holiday but we all so much enjoyed it, mainly due to the warmth of welcome and the friendship of your family who all made us feel so welcome.The excursions to the mountains and to Paphos were brilliant and Andreas was an excellent tour guide. Thanks to his demonstration I now know how to prepare a pomello! this was our first visit to Cyprus and Ellis is already asking when we are coming again.Certainly I would love to return before too long.

Thanks to everyone at C&A appts for another amazing holiday with you - our 10th visit!
As usual we felt as if we were returning home as soon as we smelt the smell of oranges in the warm air and received a lovely welcome to your home (even at 1am!).
We had a great time and would not have known anything about the economic problems of Cyprus if we hadn't watched the news. Everyone was as warm and welcoming as always. We hope you have a fantastic season and that we will be able to visit again sometime soon.

Hi Chris,
We had again a great vacation in Cyprus. You and your family made us feel very welcome when we arrived with the adapted taxi at the C&A Tourist Apartments. For the next days I hired a mobility scooter and Rudy a bicycle and we made beautiful trips along the shore of the sea and in the little village. Then the Seatrac.....I was so happy to be able to swim every day in the sea!!! We also enjoyed the excellent food and the nice company of the whole family and other guests.
Thanks a lot and till next year, Gundelinde and Rudy

Hi Chris and all the family,
Many, many thanks for another wonderful fortnight with you and your family, again we were made very welcome and quickly felt at home.
The transport from the airport was quick and efficient thanks to John, as was the return thanks to Andreas. As usual we were fed to bursting thanks to Eva's and Nitsa's great cooking. As for the equipment hire, everything I asked for was provided, and when Jackie found the going a bit difficult due to the heat another scooter was provided in no time by Chris. It was lovely to meet up with old friends and make new ones.We are looking forward to next June and seeing you all again.
Thanks once again for making it such a lovely and accessible holiday.

Hi Chris
We had a lovely time with you all once again and thanks for the photos, they are really good, as is the one on the website.
After our fifth visit to the C&A Apartments we now look on our holidays there as visiting friends, the whole family, John, Lorraine, Kumar & VJ.
On arrival at Paphos airport (where the assistance for disabled is excellent) our holiday begins when we see John or Andrew waiting for us ready to transport us to Polis in the specially adapted minibus. It's lovely to arrive at the apartments and be warmly welcomed back. We can relax in the knowledge that all needs are catered for and nothing is too much trouble. Frank brings his own small mobility scooter with him but usually hires a larger one from Chris to make the trip to Latchi and back. Other equipment can be hired if necessary. We have plenty of laughs and meet up with friends from earlier holidays. We will be back next June - must go on a diet after eating all the wonderful food cooked by Eva & Nitsa! See you all in 2013.

Hi Chris, Lorraine and family,
We really enjoyed our week with you, it passed too quickly. your apartments are great, very comfortable, and I enjoyed my swims in the pool. I only used the Seatrac once but it was really good. A great asset. I would definately like to come back, and will recommend to all my wheelchair friends. It's great that you have so much equipment available to rent, my friend hired a scooter so she could keep up with me going down to the beach. I went to see a good film today, - Untouchable - it's about a french quadraplegic who hires an unusual carer, so if you get the chance to see it you must, it made us laugh.
Take care and best wishes,

Hi to Chris and family.
Once again thank you so much for a wonderful two week holiday at C & A Polis. Beginning with a smooth flight from Manchester, Andreas' meeting us at the airport in Paphos and the warm welcome by all your family. We always look forward to our holiday with you as we know everything is so well catered for - a great apartment and especially Eva & Nitsa's cooking (clean plates every time), lazing by the pool (me reading copious books!) with a bit of exercise in the pool when we cool off! And we really enjoy our visit to Latchi via the beach path, for which we hire two of your scooters - as I don't like walking back up the hill in the heat. I had a fabulous trip to the Troudos mountains with Andreas and Andrew and four people from a Paphos hotel. I have never seen mountains like them! And the roads........ well I would never dare to drive them, but Andrew was superb, as was Andreas, captivating us all with his knowledge of flora and fruits of Cyprus. We were both looking forward to a boat trip, but unfortunately the guy in charge of the boat had broken his shoulder - disappointment! So that trip is in our diary for next year, and anything else we can arrange - provisionally booked 2 weeks already. Ah well, transfer back to airport was, as always, smooth, flight home smooth too, but arrival at Manchester - dark, wet and cold! From 35 degrees down to 12 - a shock to the systems! Thank you all for having us this year and roll on September 2013.
Take care of yourselves, with Love, Linda & Michael.

"Once again we have had a super holiday with Eva, Chris & family at C&A in Polis.
As we live in Cyprus, people often say, 'why do we travel from Limassol to Polis for a holiday?'. Bryan doesn't travel well on long journeys, these days, and it can be difficult if we go to an 'unknown' if he'll be able to cope with the wheelchair in a different environment, but we know for sure that at C&A, there is no problem, everywhere is accessible. Also, although we love Cyprus, it is still coming to terms with the needs of wheelchair users, and through Chris' efforts, Polis is one of the best places in Cyprus as far as accessibility goes; Chris has done so much to raise awareness. From restaurants, to ATM machines, even the drivers are more considerate - and in Cyprus that really is something!
Also, the lift for the pool, and nearby sea track mean Bryan can use the pool - so good for exercise when you have limited mobility, and can also go into the sea, which is wonderful. For those of us who can just do these things it is impossible to understand just how much it means to someone, who possibly hasn't been able to go into a pool, or the sea for years
But apart from all of this,each time we return to C&A, it is like going home to family. Andreas, Chris, Eva, Nitsa, Charoulla, Chris, Kumar, VJ, Andrew, Demetri,,,,,,, Have I missed anyone? sorry, ALL of you do so much to make us welcome.
You work so hard, yet make it seem effortless, and we know you do it with love - THAT is the reason we keep coming back.
'Cos we love you all". Bryan & Dawn, Limassol, Cyprus

Dear Chris and Family,
Just a brief note to thank you all for a lovely holiday on our third visit to C&A.We were taken good care of from when Andrew picked us up at the airport in the adapted minibus until he dropped us off on our return.
Having meals prepared and presented by your family added a further personal touch to our stay. Along with the availability of disabled equipment hire your home became my home for the duration of our holiday. I was thrilled to swim in the pool every day, and with the help of the sea-trac, I managed to swim in the sea twice. I was also delighted to Parasail for the first time – the crew that took us were amazing. I look forward to our next visit.
Cheers,
Chris Polhill.

Hi Chris and all your fab family
Just would like to say a big thank you for a great holiday. As we had never been to Cyprus before i was nervous as to what to expect but as we arrived so late and the whole family came out to great us I was well impressed. I have honestly never experienced such nice caring helpful people before. I would certainly recommend C&A to any body with disabilities. I was also impressed with the hire of the equipment. Not to say the transfers with the comfy vehicles, even when we wanted to go out their transport laid on with out any worries. One of my fondest memories was the fact that the whole family sat and ate their meals with us all and we all had such a lovely time and a real good laugh and we will be back next year

Just wanted to say a very big thank you for a lovely holiday. As usual everything ran like clockwork from our pick up with John and Dimitrii in the disabled taxi at Paphos airport. Our apartment no 21 is definitely the best with a fab view over the pool. Wanted to thank you for making Lana's 21st birthday very special and many thanks to Nitsa for organising the cake and as usual a lovely meal!!
Thank you for the wheelchair for Granny, she even had to admit that it was fun being pushed into Polis, and she definitely couldn't have managed to walk in by herself. We all really enjoyed our time with you and the girls are already trying to sort out their holiday dates next year so that they can also join us again on our annual pilgrimage to C & A apartments.

Здравствуйте Крис, вся твоя семья и сотрудники отеля C & A!
Это было наше первое путешествие на Кипр и оно удалось на 5+ (на отлично)!Спасибо тебе и всей семье, что Вы делаете доступным отдых на Кипре для людей с инвалидностью.Спасибо за гостеприимство, доброе и внимательное отношение к нам.Погода нас очень радовала на протяжении всего отдыха, было тепло и приятно.Проживание в отеле было для нас комфортным: уютная комната, оборудованные всем необходимым кухня и душ, все способствовало отдыху и расслаблению в наш отпуск. Огромное спасибо Эльвире, которая очень помогала нам в общении с Вами. Очень жаль, что Вы не знаете русский язык, а мы очень плохо знаем английский.
Предложение Евы выучить русский язык было замечательным, тогда при встрече нам будет о чем поговорить :).Трансфер из аэропорта и на море особенно отметим, - спасибо Джону, Андреасу и другим, кто возил нас, наша безопасность была на высшем уровне! На море мы ездили когда хотели, даже в 7утра, все было отлично организованно! Крис, возможность аренды скутера-это отличная идея! Когда мы ходили на море на скутере у нас была возможность любоваться природой Кипра, чувствовать запахи разных трав и видеть как растут оливковые деревья, памело, мандарины, лимоны, апельсины. Хорошо, что бассейн в отеле тоже с подъемником и даже с обогревлом, очень приятно им воспользоваться и понежиться под лучами солнца. Доступное море, это мечта человека с инвалидностью, а у Вас на Кипре, в Полисе, эта мечта стала реальностью. Очень удобно использовать рампу в море, даже можно обойтись без помощников! Ваша традиция делать барбекю около бассейна-замечательная идея, она дала нам возможность поближе познакомиться с отдыхающими из других стран. Прогулка на кораблике в голубую лагуну была просто сказочная. Мы первый раз видели корабль с подъемным устройством для возможности искупаться в голубой лагуне людям с инвалидностью. Поразило море необыкновенностью лазуревого цвета и прозрачностью. Спасибо, Крис, что организовал это развлечение. Нам очень и очень понравился раrаsailing, это были яркие эмоции и исполнение нашей давней мечты! Профессионализм и опыт команды Latchi Watersports Centre нас поразил, все было сделано на высоком уровне. Спасибо ребятам!
Для нас это был незабываемый отдых на Кипре! Конечно хотелось бы еще раз приехать на Ваш замечательный остров, чтобы с комфортом отдохнуть в Вашей гостинице, накупаться в красивом, ласковом и теплом море и получить массу приятных эмоций и ярких впечатлений на весь год вперед! По приезду мои друзья с инвалидностью интересуются как мы отдохнули и я с удовольствием рассказываю им, что на Кипре можно отдохнуть без проблем и с комфортом! Приглашаем Вас посетить Россию, которая Вам тоже понравится своим великолепием природы, достопримечательностями и гостеприимством.Здоровья всей семье!
С наилучшими пожеланиями из России-Татьяна (г.Самара) и Людмила (г.Тольятти)

Hi Chris,
Our family holiday in C&A Apartments in Cyprus is the example, how important is combination of two factors: place and atmosphere.
Cyprus as itself is great place to spend holidays and it does not require any further proves. But to spend the holiday not just in Cyprus but also in C&A Apartments is additional value added. Chris and his family who run together their touristic business are creating very nice and friendly atmosphere. You can feel like in home, enjoying hospitality, good food and friendship. Additionally for the people who are using wheelchair (and for their families as well) there are lots of facilities which makes your time comfortable. Whole area of apartments together with private swimming pool is accessible. You can hire wide range of needed equipment including electric wheelchairs, you can order accessible taxi and go whenever you want: from - into airport, to the beach or to many interesting places. No barriers, only possibilities. Last but not least - amazing sea-track, equipment which is "delivering" handicapped people directly into the sea! Wow! That was absolutely something unique!
We would like to thank Chris and his family for great holiday and we hope to return in the future.

I really enjoyed staying in C&A apartments.
Of course thanks to the family who are a very open, warm people. Although we arrived at night there, we were welcomed with there already famous nice glass of cold home-made lemon lemonade!One night there was a barbeque, and nobody was just sitting there and doing nothing, everybody was dancing. Christo invited about 10 beautiful looking girls for a wonderful traditional Cypriote dance! And then suddenly the neighbors –a couple of professional dancers- came to show there performance to spontaneous complete a magical evening. That was really a very fun night.
Our rooms were comfortable, because my friend and I are only 16, we don’t like to get up early. But Kumar and VJ waited to clean them when we were out of bed, so we could sleep in.
The area of Polis is beautifull. One morning we went for horseback riding in the Mountains. Even though I don’t really like horses, I really enjoyed it.
You’re only fifteen minutes walking from the sea, but it’s a nice walk because there is a lot to see along the road. It runs along beautiful orange groves and palm trees. At the beach, and the pool too, and ofcourse very adapted to invalid people, they easily can get in.For a sixteen year old, there’s not much to do in polis, But I still liked it, because i could really take some time for myself, and just relax.And would i come back?Well, we actually went twice, so that’s a yes J

Everything was as it should be and even more; great food, nice big apartments, a super atmosphere …Chris, his family as well as the rest of the staff working at C&A apartments do everything in their power to make your stay memorable.
We especially liked the boat trip organized by Chris. It gave me the opportunity to swim in the sea which I have not done since I became a wheelchair user. The parasailing was also unforgettable.
I could go on and on telling how wonderful our stay was, but you have to experience it yourself. Chris, his family and the rest of the staff will welcome you with open arms!

Уважаемый Крис!
Позвольте поблагодарить Вас и Вашу семью за гостеприимство! Оно было таким искренним и открытым во время нашего пребывания у вас.
Нам очень понравился и Кипр, и пребывание в вашем отеле, и трансфер… Начнём с того, что мы прибыли вчетвером, и трое из нашей компании используют коляски. Мы были приятно удивлены оперативностью и удобством, с которыми осуществляются все вопросы с перемещением. Микроавтобус оборудован подъёмным устройством. Другой транспорт тоже удобен для использования людьми, передвигающимися на инвалидных колясках. Мы часто пользовались услугами и Эндрю, и Андреаса для того, чтобы комфортно и быстро куда-либо съездить.
Двери из наших номеров-студий выходили в очень уютный тихий дворик. Сами номера достаточно просторны, чтобы в них с комфортом проживали два человека, использующих коляски. Очень удобный санузел. Номера оборудованы всем необходимым. В них при желании можно даже готовить (есть микроволновая печь, электроплита, электрочайник, необходимая посуда и столовые приборы). Нам было очень удобно.
Хотелось бы особенно отметить наличие подъёмника в бассейне. Учитывая жаркий климат, возможность поплавать в бассейне даже только для того, чтобы охладиться, - это очень большой плюс.
Особое наше восхищение вызвало наличие подъёмного устройства на пляже. Мы с огромным удовольствием купались в море. На наш взгляд, море – это лучшее лечение от всех болячек! )) Очень удобно, что у Криса в любое время можно взять пульт, с помощью которого управляется подъёмник, и рвануть на море.))) За это – наша отдельная благодарность!
Невероятно удобно то, что можно в любой момент арендовать дополнительное оборудование. Мы с удовольствием пользовались скутером. Учитывая холмистую местность и то, что мы используем коляски «активного» типа, скутер очень выручал нас при походах в магазины и прогулках по Полису.
И, наконец, хотелось бы выразить особую благодарность всей Вашей дружелюбной семье, Крис! За ваше внимание, терпение, доброжелательность… Мы просто влюбились в Вашу дружную семью. Нас особо восхитило то, насколько профессионально все члены Вашей большой семьи и все сотрудники оказывают помощь колясочникам. Это было потрясающе! Ваш профессионализм – это почти искусство!
К сожалению, мы очень-очень плохо владеем английским языком, поэтому это создавало трудности в общении. И мы благодарим всех членов семьи за терпение, которое вы все проявили при общении с нами. Мы обязуемся овладеть разговорным английским языком!))) В этой связи, Крис, пожалуйста, поблагодарите от нашего имени Эльвиру! Её помощь была неоценима!
Мы наслаждались каждым днём пребывания в вашем отеле, увидели столько интересного. Поездку в «Голубую лагуну» и полёт на парасейлинге мы не забудем никогда. Это был потрясающий и очень интересный отдых! Особо хотелось бы отметить то, что многие развлечения вполне доступны для колясочников.
Крис, передайте, пожалуйста, огромный привет, нашу благодарность и пожелания удачи Андреасу (шашлык был невероятно вкусным!), Еве, Нице, Чарулле, Эндрю, Димитрису, Джону, Эльвире, Виджею, Кумару.
Мы надеемся ещё раз приехать к вам на отдых! Низкий всем вам поклон за ваш труд.

С любовью и благодарностью,
Сергей и Наталья (Россия)

Dear Chris and team
Just wanted to say thank you from all of us for a fantastic holiday. We were all quite anxious about going abroad for our first time since Tom’s accident but you have all been wonderful. Everything was made so easy for us including the booking process, being picked up and dropped off to the airport in the adapted bus, the apartment was perfect with good space to manoeuvre around in a wheelchair, the pool and hoist was a god send - especially needed as Tom has trouble with maintaining his body temperature and he was able to keep cool in the pool. A special mention to Eva and co for the wonderful food – we all agree that the meals at C&A were the best we had out of all our meals whilst on holiday – and they were all great!! Another benefit was being able to hire equipment – all managed with minimum of fuss but appreciated greatly – Tom would have been in real trouble if you hadn’t had a wheelchair handy for him to borrow when his got a puncture. Anya also enjoyed the mobility scooters – I think she was grateful to be able to keep up with Tom!
Once again thank you for the excellent holiday – we are already looking at dates for next year!
With love Tracey, Vince, Tom & Anya xx

Hi Chris,
When I read all the previous comments on your guestbook, it's hard to add something new.
-yes, the taxi transfer(from and to Paphos) with John was excellent, even at midnight with all his useful information.
-yes, the welcome of the warm family was fantastic, even with the teasings of Chris back and forth
-yes, the food and beds were more than ok. Thanks to Eva and Nitsa(and Charoulla for the Ouzo's before and the liqueurs afterwards), and Koomer & Veejay for the beds and water for the plants.
-yes, Andreas does his job as Cyprus-guide("Let me explain!") very well! also thanks to him.
-In other words: YES, WE WILL COME BACK (but not tomorrow ;) )
We will send our love back to everyone who's working hard at C&A, to make unforgettable holidays.
Koen, Ludwine and Ischa, Erik and Bert

Hi Chris,
The new apartments were so well designed and comfortable, and we had no problems, especially with the scooters and wheelchair, which made getting about and around so easy. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable.It was lovely for John to be able to swim in the pool again,with the help of the hoist, it was so refreshing in the very hot and humid weather we had.
How can we not mention the wonderful meals prepared by Eva,Nitsa and their helpers, and the very hospitable atmosphere in the evenings.Eve even arranged for a very good masseuse for John, which made him feel even better!!
We cannot recommend the C ^ A apartments too highly,and hopefully will be making a return visit very soon.

Hi Chris,
"we are lucky enough to live in Cyprus, so were able to visit for the weekend. As always, we were greeted as old friends, and had a superb time. I think we've been in each of the studio apartments on our visits, now, and each one is perfect for a wheelchair user. For Bryan, being able to use the pool is perfect, and on a hot summers day, what could be better, followed by Nitsa and Eva's wonderful meal. Can't wait until September!"
Love Dawn and Bryan

Hi Chris,
Just to say thanks to you and your family for a lovely stay. A special thanks to Andreas and Andrew for their patience and for putting up with all my questions of this and the other!! :o).
I came for a holiday and ended up with an experience for lifetime. I have never felt so welcome in any place as I did at C & A Apartments!.My Mother learned that she is still able to go for a holiday out of Denmark if the right help are available - and at C & A Apartments they certainly are!. From the time we set foot at Copenhagen Airport we had all the help we needed. In Larnaca Airport Andrew was there to pick us up in your special lift car. That was so great.When we arrived we were received by the family - serving soothing, cold homemade lemon lemonade - what a real treat!! The room we were in was situated right in the center of the heart of C & A Apartments. Being able to have a chat ever so often with Eva and Andreas, you and your lovely sisters was just great!!And now to a praise of the food. I have never ever been on holiday where I have had so much homemade, tasty and delicious food! Made with the love for food and of cooking it. The tzatziki and the salads were crispy, fresh and harmonically blended. The homemade olives and capers - so tasty! Andreas barbecue - yummy!! The cakes and jelly - the fresh fruit and breakfast with warm homemade bread, different homemade marmalade...!I was not the least surprised that I gained weight while staying with you. I just had to taste it all!!
As it was the first time for my Mother to go abroad after her stroke and because it was really hot weather - we did not move a lot. We went to Latsi. Visited Polis some times and we had a trip to the beach. I'm sure that next time we come for a holiday with you we will go on a trip to see more of your lovely Cyprus. And next time we will visit you in May/June 2013 or September....! :o)
Thanks a lot for a very lovely holiday and love to ALL your family!!
Kindest regards from Denmark

Hi Chris and family,It was a great pleasure meeting you and your family.This was our first holiday where Aroosa was able to bring her electric wheelchair as you catered for her needs immensely. From airport transfers, in your adapted mini van where John was waiting for us at the gate and was not only there to drive us back to the apartments but gave us a detailed tour and gave us great advice on the do's and don't's of Cyprus :), to the pool hoist, and whenever needed equipment was there to hire out, we have thoroughly enjoyed visiting you.One of many great memories were your wonderful family who provided an amazing and friendly atmosphere. They were very welcoming and helpful in many ways, especially your mum Eva and sister Nitsa.Thank-you for making our holiday a memorable experience & we will definitely be visiting again :)
Saddia, Ayesha and Aroosa.

Hello Chris ! It was real pleasure to see you after so long time, and we all really enjoyed our stay in your flats. Great environment, comfortable, great hospitality ! its pity we didn’t take a group picture for your webpage. Maybe next time.
Have a nice day, Greetings to all the family !

hi chris i would like to thank you and your family for another great holiday in your apartments in polis it is a place me and my family love so mutch this is why we return every year you meet us at the airport in your adapted taxies once you know the flight times you and your family take care off the rest thank you and your family again for a great time
love from gerard gill and family

Hi Chris and family...... This was my fourth year at C&A and yet again it didn't disappoint , the warmth of your family and the effort they put in ensuring guests are happy is something else ! Over the years I've noticed how clean the apartments and surrounding areas are, that's still the same, as is the delicious food prepared by your mother and sister .This year was a little different in the fact I had wheelchair problems , instantly you helped me and gave me a loan of the required part from one of your own wheelchairs. All of your aids are useful, from Shower chairs commodes to electric/ manual chairs and even those fabulous scooters that even able bodied people seem to use on those extra hot cyprus days when they go sightseeing!
I always enjoyed my transfers with your father in the adapted taxi listening to his tales of Cyprus and his local knowledge , this time I had your nephew and we had a nice chat which killed the 45 minute transfer time
Enjoying being out the oven for now but shall return very soon
Mr Brian ;)

Hi again Chris.

In spite of the 2 hours driving to the hotel John was a perfekt driver and very helpful and informative.We have no complains except the little problem we had in the shower the first morning Camilla couldnt reach the shower from the bathing chair , but you listen to us and solved the problem at once when we asked you too.
We were treated so good, we felt at home at your hotel. We thank you all for your hospitaliy and engangemnt for feeling us so comfortable. The hotel is situated perfektly – the girls enjoyed the town, the shops, the resturants and the trips we went to – no problems with entering the places they wanted to go,and again thanks to john for his help and assistants and good sightseeing.
Hope you all get a good summer with a lot of happy guest – we hope til see you again next year.
Your Danish Fans Camilla, Tina, Helle and Susanne

Excellent facilities for disabled people, relaxing atmosphere, always a warm welcome, great food And Airport taxi service is excellent for wheelchairs.
We live in Cyprus and it’s the only place on the Island with all the facilities to enjoy your vacation, the hoist for the swimming pool is fantastic, access to the beach is also very convenient for wheelchair’s and thanks to the effort of Chris and the family now we have a sea track to swim in the sea.Anything you may need to hire while on holyday is available.
Best Regards to all see You Soon

David and I had our first stay at C&A in June 2012 and it was a most enjoyable week. Swimming in the pool and the sea was made easy by the equipment provided not to mention the gloriously hot weather.The apartment was well designed and the air-conditioner efficient (thank goodness)It was great not having to drive for a week – we were picked up and taken back to the airport in the adapted taxi which was also available for other excursions.Being able to hire a powered wheelchair was also useful as the manual was a bit much in the heat, especially if you want to explore.The people were lovely – both visitors and hosts – a bit like being part of a family, I guess because we all have something in common and therefore understand the challenges.I am sure we will be back next year – maybe in a slightly cooler month?
We hope this finds you and the family in good health
Best wishes
Sue & David Yeo

Thank you for another relaxing holiday at C&A apartments. This was mine and Rob’s third visit and my parent’s first and yet again it was such great fun and very enjoyable! We were met at the airport by John which was a lovely surprise as our first visit 7 years ago was the first time John and Lorraine visited with Janet and we spent a great week with them and Chris and the family. After a very easy transfer in the specially adapted minibus we had a lovely welcome from Chris, Eva, Nitsa, Andreas and the rest of the family. The atmosphere and friendliness of the place is just as wonderful as is the delicious food prepared by Eva and Nitsa! Dad hired a power scooter which meant he was able to join us on the beach path along to Latchi. Thank you again to all of you, you all work so hard to make C&A so special, looking forward to our next visit, Alison, Rob, Bud and Ken xxxx

Hello Chris, Nitsa, Eva, Andreas, Andrew, Kumar, Vj, Charoulla and all staff at C & A,
As we sit here looking out the window at the pouring rain (more like November than June!) We think fondly of our lovely time with you all in Cyprus.At the beginning meeting John at the airport in the special adapted mini bus, nothing was to much trouble and made us feel welcome straight away. Then arriving at the apartments we were welcomed by you all with homemade lemonade. We were amazed at how spotless the apartment was and how it had everything you needed. In the evenings we enjoyed your delicious home cooked food in the family atmosphere you cleverly create amongst all your guestsWe really enjoyed the excursions, and was impressed with Andreas's local knowledge .Havent stopped talking about it since we got back and recommend to many people ( hopefully will do a little presentation in October at our local stroke club) You all have been an inspiration to Terry he has improved immensely since we have been home, he had missed Cyprus so much and it is a huge comfort to him knowing that he can go back there and have a holiday again with you in the future.We will come back and visit you all soon and very much looking forward to more Cypriot/South African cuisine. Nitsa i am hoping to have your bobotie next time!
Don't work to hard much love Jan, Terry and Katie xxx
