The tour was bought as a package from TUI with a flight from Windrose Airlines. Departure from Borispol at 8.15 am. Everything is on time, without delays and problems. The flight is a little less than 3 hours. We drove from the airport for about an hour on a comfortable bus.
Met at the hotel with cold fresh orange juice. We were seated in half an hour. The reception does not speak Russian. But for us it is "no problem".
The lobby is no frills, modern and very clean.
The room is spacious, bright, with a side view of the sea.
And the safe is absolutely free! There is everything you need, even a device for drying clothes on the balcony. There are few sockets and euro adapters are needed - they bought it in the market for 2 euros. The strange arrangement of sockets surprised me, the kettle had to be boiled on the bedside table. Either the builders are hands-on (sorry), or the designer is smart! : )))
One bottle of water is provided in the room, only upon check-in. Cleaning is perfect.
Meals took FB - full board (breakfast, lunch, dinner).
All drinks for a fee, even water.
The food was delicious, plentiful and plentiful. Everything is fresh. Breakfasts and dinners are excellent! Dinner was definitely not needed. Moreover, it is on the menu, there is a lot of food, and fruit or dessert for a fee, as well as drinks. Dinners with live music overlooking the sea, in a romantic setting, with beautiful table setting and perfect service. The waiters do their job flawlessly, above all praise, everything is clean, fast and well-coordinated.
WI-FI is excellent in the room and throughout. The biggest plus of the hotel - sun loungers and an umbrella are reserved for the room! Beach towels are large, with "hoods" so as not to fall on your head. Closer to dinner, the beach boy brings frozen, small towels to refresh the guests' faces. And then they also serve fruit. This is the service! : ) The territory is not very big, but everything is green and very clean. The main sea - here it is, the first line, across the promenade.
The beach is municipal, has the "Blue Flag of 2019", a sun lounger and an umbrella for 2.5 euros per day. We, on the other hand, cross the footpath, swim in plenty and take a shower already on the territory of the hotel.
The biggest drawback of the hotel - no security! (Anyone can come from the beach, take a shower, go to the toilet and swim in the pool. Although the toilets, I note, are always the cleanest! The hotel can be called a family hotel, a contingent of European families with children and pensioners. Everything is moderate, calm and positive. No " everything is inclusive", which means order everywhere! Young people will be bored, although they go out of the territory and take a walk, everything is nearby - cafes, bars and shops. You can read more about the city and excursions in my story.
The hotel justified its price and did not disappoint us.
Good luck to all travels; )

We went together, we wanted complete relaxation at sea. The hotel is very good. What is important is that the sea is nearby and it is gorgeous, clean, transparent with a good sunset. For me, the sea is in the first place, and if everything is on the level, then I consider the rest to be held. But here the hotel was excellent.

For me, the sea is in the first place, and if everything is on the level, then I consider the rest to be held. But here the hotel was excellent. The food is good, standard hotel breakfasts are fresh and delicious, for dinner there is something to choose from and sit outdoors with live music. Drinks are paid, as usual. The hotel was also liked by the fact that there are places to go beyond its territory. Nearby there are shops, restaurants, an amusement park, very lively. I want to say that I was looking forward to the rest so much that even if there were flaws in the hotel, I would not attach any importance to them. When, after spending time on a beautiful beach and the cleanest sea, you return to a clean room and a delicious dinner, nothing but pleasant thoughts comes to mind)

My wife and I spent our honeymoon there. I really liked the hotel. We had a sea view room which was amazing! Rooms are cleaned every day, towels are changed every day too. Everything in the room works great. The staff are very friendly and always try to help in any way they can. Breakfast is always the same. but the choice is huge and for 10 days it did not get bored.

Dinners at the restaurant are simply amazing. We did not see any special entertainment in the hotel. I saw ball games organized in the pool, and there is always animation for children in the evenings, but we were not particularly interested in this issue, so I can’t rate it. I liked the presence of pleasant things such as cold towels on the beach at the peak of the heat. The location of the hotel is also good - almost in the center of the embankment. There are so many cafes/bars/shops around. The only thing that spoiled the impression was a very weak internet throughout the hotel. It was practically impossible to communicate via Skype with friends and relatives . . But otherwise, I highly recommend the hotel. The reception has Russian-speaking staff, and some of the waitresses also speak Russian.

Despite the 4 * here is everything you could wish for. Lovely room with a wide comfortable bed, TV, refrigerator, tea set, crazy sea view, bathrobe and slippers, etc. A very nice sandy beach, wide with a pleasant entry into the turquoise magical Cypriot sea.

2. I liked everything in the hotel, in general. Especially the location. It is located in the heart of the Protaras resort, and right on the beach. We didn’t even have to take paid sunbeds on the beach, we used the free sunbeds of the hotel, we just put them on the lawn, and we were ten steps from the sea. The territory of the hotel is very well-groomed, all planted with flowers, so it was very pleasant to be there.
3. The room was somewhat modest, in the sense that it was rather simply furnished, without design frills. But for me, it’s even better, modesty and simplicity give rise to taste, in my opinion) In addition, everything you need was in the room: both air conditioning and a hairdryer, so we settled quite comfortably. From the window, by the way, overlooking the sea (again, a plus for the location).
4. Service at the hotel is worthy of four stars, nothing to complain about. Cleaning was done regularly, towels changed on time too. As for food, we had breakfast included - they are very tasty, we especially liked the croissants))) And we had lunch and dinner sometimes in the hotel restaurant, and sometimes in restaurants nearby. By the way, Greek evenings with folk cuisine and dancing were held several times in the hotel restaurant. Cuisine in general in Cyprus is predominantly, of course, fish. An absolutely amazing dish, for example, fish meze - you will lick your fingers.
5. There are no complaints about the hotel, only pleasant impressions remained)))

Good family hotel 4 * on the 1st line in the center of Protaras. Average food. Good numbers. Active family and children's animation. Common territory with Sunrise Beach 4 *, but food division. Nice beach and gentle entry into the sea. In the center of the resort, there is where to go outside the territory, a lot of bars, restaurants, cafes.

Sunrise Beach Protaras Cyprus (Sunrise Beach Protaras, Cyprus) We rested in June 2011. We drove with a good mood, but they started to spoil it at the airport. We ordered a car from the operator Biblio Globus instead of a bus to the hotel. Since we were traveling with a small child for 1 year 4 months, and it did not at all attract everyone to take them to hotels in the heat.

Sunrise Beach Protaras Cyprus (Sunrise Beach Protaras, Cyprus)
We rested in June 2011. We drove with a good mood, but they started to spoil it at the airport.
We ordered a car from the operator Biblio Globus instead of a bus to the hotel. Since we were traveling with a small child for 1 year 4 months, and it did not at all attract everyone to take them to hotels in the heat. At the Globe counter, the girl called the driver, he said that he was in a traffic jam and would be in an hour. She, of course, asked why he did not warn, but the answer remained a mystery to us. We were sent to the waiting room and promised to find a new taxi for now. After 20 minutes, they only found him and sent us.
Well, we were not very upset and hoped for a good rest.
Upon arrival at the hotel, the driver unloaded us and left, no one left the hotel to help bring our luggage, and we had 2 large suitcases, 3 bags, a stroller.
Three adults and a child are decent luggage, despite the fact that the child was tired of the road and was already hanging on one of the adults, respectively, 2 hands are already occupied, they cannot carry anything.
In general, we somehow dragged ourselves to the reception desk. This was the first call...
We were given a room, assured that it was wonderful. I note right away that we ordered a Family Suite with a sea view and an internal partition, 2 double beds and one king size bed, she refused a crib back in Moscow, saying that the child sleeps only with me. The partition should divide the room into pals, it turns out, as it were, 2 rooms and no one interferes with anyone. This is the only reason we went to this hotel because of this type of room and paid a lot of money for it. We go into the room and see, there is no partition, a king size bed and one and a half bed, in the corner there is a dirty playpen for a child, where he, like, should sleep. That's not all, we open the curtain on the side wall and see ....CONSTRUCTION!
NOBODY in the agency warned about the construction in the hotel (which, by the way, starts at 7 am)! We go to the reception to find out. We are told that this is the type of room they also consider the surname suite, a blatant lie! On their website it's called family side. When they started cursing loudly, they suddenly lost their memory and stopped understanding Russian, although they had understood before. They said, call your operator, let him figure it out. They called, they said they would figure it out, they called back and said the same thing, that this is a family suite. When we say that we will sue, because on their website these numbers differ in price, and decently. They say they will help in any way they can. We arrived on Monday. After some time, it turns out that all the rooms are occupied and such as we want to be released only on Wednesday. And so be it, they will do us a favor and provide it as soon as it is released.
When asked about the refund of the difference, the answer was that they cost the same for them ...On the hotel's website itself, the booking request gives the difference in price!
This is not the end of our ramblings.
We ordered a full board, because with a small child we didn’t want to wander around and look for where to eat, only a beach holiday was supposed.
At lunch, the restaurant served a menu of your choice. A week later, we found out that we were supposed to have dessert, but the menu that they give is not indicated and they themselves do not say so. I found out this purely by chance, ordering ice cream, and then asked for a bill for it, to which the waiter asked me why you want to pay full board, ice cream or fruit are included in your menu for free ....
In addition, they served for a very long time, they waited 40 minutes for one dish, although the norm is 20-25, and we need to eat in 2 stages, first the parents eat, I put the child to bed, they come, sit with him, I go to eat.
Sometimes they hardly fit into their entire lunch from half past twelve to 3! Further “better” ...once they just lost my order and after 40 minutes of my waiting they came and asked what I was sitting, what I was waiting for ...The next day, my mother and I made an order, ordered ice cream immediately and then everything else ...After 20 minutes, we got ice cream they didn’t bring it and after 30 too ...The waiter came up and asked if we had made an order ! ! ! ! We said yes to your chief and did (he was already sitting with his Cypriots, owners and their relatives at the table and chewing, although they all came later than us). I approached him and asked where the order was, he waved that he had given it and continued to chew. As a result, it turned out that the second day in a row they lost our order! In short, we could not stand such rudeness and went to complain about the reception. After that, this chief did not approach us until the very departure and served us at the speed of light! But for this it was necessary to complain and spoil everyone's holiday.
That's not all. On the penultimate day, my mother had a birthday and we went to a restaurant at the hotel to eat a seafood menu. We order two ducks and one fish. They bring…. 1 duck, 1 chicken and 1 pork…. . Honestly, I didn’t have the strength to swear, they left the chicken and asked only to replace the pork with fish, though I still had to wait at least half an hour ...
In general, only a negative impression from the hotel, to say the least!
Along the beach. Sea and sand are great. BUT! The local population spoils everything, you can’t go to the coastline with a child to play in the sand. The reason is that all the young people stand in a solid line (one pair ends, the second one stands half a meter later) and plays ball, rackets, and knocks back not only small plastic balls, but also big tennis balls with all the dope. You stand covering the child with your back, the balls regularly fly at you, to which they say sorry and then gouge.
You point out to them culturally in English that they say you wouldn’t go from here, we came earlier, there is a child, they turn their asses and continue to play ...
On weekends, due to the influx of the local population, you can not go to the beach with a child at all. But they do not hesitate to climb onto the territory of the hotel, plop down on free sunbeds, stomp into the toilet and pool. There is no security, no one is watching. You tell the boy who gives out towels that we can’t leave, we are afraid to leave things. He swears that he does not have enough time. I saw with my own eyes how a group of young people walked along the beach path, then went up to the hotel territory, took a mattress from an empty sunbed (many people leave it for the night, they don’t take it to the room) and went on. In addition, they were already dragging a large inflatable ring ....
Regarding Bibilo-Globus, we flew on a morning flight, so they picked us up at night. Upon arrival they said they would pick me up at 3.
30 at night, but before that, a letter confirming the time will be brought to our room. We called the day before and saw Sergey, the BG representative on the day of departure, he said yes yes they will bring it today. Long story short, they didn't bring us anything. My child and I (who had a fever due to otitis media) at 3.10 were already standing at the reception. I call Sergey, I tell us they didn’t bring anything, will a car come for us? He replies, yes, yes, he’s coming, don’t worry, you won’t be late. I called yesterday, no one picked up the phone at the hotel! Now that's a lie! There is always a person at the reception, even if you did not get through, call back in 5-10 minutes and they will pick up the phone. Just forgot or scored on us.
As a result, the driver arrived at 4 in the morning and said that Sergey had told him to pick us up at 4 and not 3.30. In short, one negative from the operator and Cyprus.
Maybe in Cyprus there is a wonderful sea and cultural monuments, but certainly not a foot there anymore! Thank you for this Sunraz Beach and Biblio Globus!

I wanted to spend the October part of my vacation somewhere by the sea. I and my relatives do not like to fly far, a maximum of 4-5 hours, so the direction was chosen in advance - Cyprus. In early October, they promised air about 27-29 C, and water ~ 25-26 C. Just right. After consulting with friends and experienced, this time Natalie Tours became the tour operator.

It is more difficult with the hotel, most of the reviews are good, the choice was such that it was just dizzying. As a result, having listened to the advice of a work colleague and experienced people on the forum, Sunrise Beach Hotel 4 * was chosen, located on the coast in the center of Protaras.
The flight took place on 06.10. 2010, without delay, by Transaero Airlines. The flight was not long, only 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Arriving in Larnaca, we received our luggage, at the counter of "Natalie Tours" we found out our bus number and went to board. At 9.30 am local time it was 23 degrees Celsius. After the Moscow zero is already good. While the tourists were taken to Larnaca and Napa, we reached Protaras, it got hot until 28.
We arrived at the hotel at 11:15. In theory, they have a check-in from 14-00, but they didn’t bother us, they immediately gave us a room, gave us orange (freshly squeezed) juice to drink.
At the reception, on the first day, we got a girl who spoke Russian well. She explained to us where she was, the food schedule, the work of bars, etc.
Room 227 with side sea view, quite spacious, 25 meters. Double bed and two single beds, two armchairs, table, chest of drawers, 2 bedside tables, large mirror, TV, air conditioning, telephone, minibar. The furniture is not old. Everything works. Balcony. It also has a table and two chairs. Slippers in the wardrobe. True, there is no bathrobe, but in rooms with sea views I saw people on the balconies in hotel bathrobes.
We got beach towels from a special person, and he also assigned us free sunbeds with an umbrella on the grass on the left side of the pool (if you look at the sea). By the sea, sunbeds are paid. 2.5 euros for an umbrella and 2.5 euros for a sunbed.
Towels are changed in the morning, and in the evening they are handed over only to those who leave the next day.
Meals were taken by FB. Only all drinks for lunch and dinner are charged.
They fed very well. The breakfast buffet, the choice was great though, and everything was repeated every day. Coffee, tea, juices for free. The waiters offer coffee in large coffee pots, and you make tea yourself.
The waiter team seems to be international. Most are Cypriots, but there were also fair-haired girls, with the names of Ivan, Anna. Two spoke Russian well, Rita and Anna. Yes, and the chief manager of the restaurant understood Russian. The bartender from the Otello bar also spoke Russian well. The rest spoke in English. Everyone knows English everywhere. But they always greeted us in Russian, even the maids on the floor.
For lunch, a choice of dishes from the menu (in Russian). Portions are big. If you take soup, salad and a main course, it is not realistic to eat everything. By the way, dessert was also included in lunch, ice cream, cake, etc. The waiters brought the ordered dishes, water, beer, poured wine.
It was possible not to take lunch. Cafes and restaurants on Protaras street at every step, there are even mini supermarkets, McDonald's. Or at the hotel restaurant for money from the same menu.
For dinner, too, a buffet, but more specifically. Seafood salads, vegetables, Caesar, fried meat, chicken, fish, potatoes of various preparations, lasagna, greens, vegetables. For those who want pizza. The baked meat from the knuckles is cut off piece by piece by the cook himself. From fruits, black and white grapes, melon, plums, apples, bananas, fruit salad. And dessert. Various cakes, mousses, pastries.
It is customary to dress for dinner in normal clothes, men - a shirt, trousers. I didn't see anyone in shorts and T-shirts.
At the entrance to the restaurant, the manager meets everyone and, after asking the number of people, sits them down at the tables. The waiter comes over and takes your drink order.
Live music every day during dinner. Once there was a magician and once again, the dancers danced Cypriot dances.
The weather was good. The sun was shining, the temperature was 27-28 degrees. They didn’t get out of the water for 40 minutes. Only once it dripped rain. After a couple of hours the clouds cleared and the sun came out.
The sea is clean. Beach and sunset in the sea - sand. The depth starts somewhere about 50 meters from the shore. There are places to swim. Two hundred meters from the shore to the buoys. And the same number between the boat piers on the sides. There are water entertainments - parachute, banana, water skiing, catamarans, boats, jet skis.
The contingent of the hotel consisted of 95% of the British and Germans. The ratio between them was 50 to 50. There were many families with children and people already aged. There were very few Russians. 10-12 people can join us.
All evening entertainment was outside the hotel in bars and restaurants on the street. But, fortunately, double-glazed windows saved us from the heart-rending cries of night karaoke lovers.
We met with the representative of "Natalie Tours" Tatyana on the second day of our stay. She asked us about problems, which fortunately were not, found out a couple of everyday questions at the reception, offered us a program of excursions. We did go to one of them in Famagusta. It was the closest travel option.
It was nice that no one bothered anywhere and did not impose their services. Not on the beach with a massage, not in shops, not on the street. Even if you didn’t buy anything in the store, you will still be thanked at the exit for stopping by.
The bus arrived at the airport at exactly 7 o'clock in the morning. The thermometer showed 21 degrees of heat. Didn't want to leave. The plane of the Transaero company took us from the still warm Cyprus to the already cold Russia in some places. In Moscow it was snowing with rain, it was 2 degrees above zero.
With great pleasure I will visit Cyprus again and it is possible that in the same hotel.
