We rested at the beginning of June 2017 in this hotel as a part of 3 adults and one 5-year-old child. We checked in immediately upon arrival at about 22-23 hours, the receptionist, although with an accent, spoke Russian very well and understood us too. He was very friendly and gave out the password for Wi-Fi in the hotel and around the pool. I want to note that in few places in Cyprus it is given out for free (well, or included in the price), moreover, often you only need to be in the lobby at a certain time for the Internet to work normally. Here, there was a wonderful connection from everywhere. Without leaving the room, we communicated well with Russia via telegram and whatsapp. We even tried to watch a movie, but it's already too much : )) It didn't work out. But, otherwise, the connection was excellent!
We also got a very pleasant room of the Euro-kopeck piece type, that is, one large room with a kitchen area with everything you need (electric stove, oven, sink, refrigerator, kettle, dishes). This room also had 2 beds, a table with chairs, 2 coffee tables. There were LCD TVs in the bedroom and in the large room. The bedroom has one large bed, bedside tables, dressing table. + In the corridor there was a fairly spacious closet. As far as I remember, there was still a safe there, but we did not use it . .
By the way, do not forget to take adapters for sockets with you ! ! We had only one and there was always a queue for someone to charge phones, tablets . .

The hotel is very cozy, there is no corridor as such, and the entrances to all the rooms are across the street, although it can rather be called something like a courtyard area . . Some people left their cars there. The hotel also has a swimming pool. When we found out that it was quite far to go to the beach, we were upset at first, but then we realized that the pool is even better! The child for the first time in his life agreed to enter the water (he refused to enter the lakes of the Leningrad region) and swam ! ! There were three options for pools for every taste. Nearby was a restaurant, playground, tennis (or volleyball) court.
Walking around the city, they were very perplexed about one hotel, which had a swimming pool right in front of the busiest central road . . How could this be invented, it is not clear . . And ours, although it was not far from the street, was closed on all sides by hotel buildings and a restaurant, past which it was possible to walk a sufficient number of meters to the street so that the noise and gases from the street did not interfere with a comfortable stay.
The situation with the maid was a bit incomprehensible. Usually they left her 1 euro, and on some day they left 2 (there were no other coins) and just stumbled upon her. She asked: "Is this for me? Others usually give me . . ", sighed and left, putting a coin in her pocket... We did not understand if this meant that they give more or less . . In general, a difficult situation turned out.
The best beach in terms of ease of entry into the water is Nissi Beach, but it is very far away. While walking, we reached it once (for how long, I don’t know, we didn’t spot it), some went by bus. But, honestly, it reminds us of our resorts in the Krasnodar Territory in Soviet times, when there is nowhere to spit... Yes, the water is good, yes, the sand is pleasant and it’s nice to enter the water, but no matter how you turn, someone is always in your "comfort zone" located : )) The beach is closer (15 minutes walk with a child, that is, 10 minutes for an ordinary sports adult) is worse . . You can enter the water without the danger of cutting your leg, only in one narrow place. But, in principle, why not! But the sea : ))) As a result, we were at the sea itself 2 or 3 times, and the rest of the time we rested by the pool at the hotel. Another important note - the skin burned, constantly smeared with healing creams. Especially a child. Sunscreens need to be smeared simply from head to toe constantly. It was especially problematic after immersion in water . . And this is not yet the hottest time! The average air temperature was 23 degrees. Friends who were in July got to 33 degrees . . I would not have survived, I think...

In general, the hotel is super, the rest is super! Next time we want to go to the same hotel! : )
