Rested with my wife this year in August.
The hotel was chosen randomly. We wanted to go to St. Napa, but there were no rooms in this hotel. The company offered anesis and did not regret it.
Upon arrival, we were met by a representative of the tour operator Prometheus Travel. We were handed a package with informational materials and escorted to the minibus.

And then the most interesting began. The driver asked what hotel you would like. In response, Anesis said that there was no such hotel in Cyprus and never was. He has been driving for 20 years and has never heard of such a thing. Showed the inscription on the envelope. The driver was indignant that what kind of sheep wrote this and took him to the Aeneas Hotel 5 *. He explained that it was not correctly written on the cover. At the Aeneas reception it turned out that the anesis did exist, but the driver had already left. I had to call the representative of the tour operator (the hotel kindly offered a phone). To our delight, the representative of the operator, Irina, solved the problem very quickly and the driver returned after 10 minutes and took us to an anesis.
Next, too, was not a big surprise. In the anesis they said that our room would be released only tomorrow, so they offered to stay for a day at the Nelya Beach hotel, which is very close.
When we read reviews about Cyprus, we saw that such situations happen often, but we didn’t want to waste a day at all (after all, it’s safe to move there) and we protested. We called Irina again. It turns out she was not aware that the number is busy. As a rule, in such cases, the hotel warns the operator in advance and make a small compensation to customers (such as a free lunch). After a long showdown with Irina's hotel, we agreed to move into the night for the night. At the same time, we were offered 50 euros or a refrigerator for two weeks as compensation. We agreed on a refrigerator. The taxi was provided by the hotel (to and fro when we moved).
But in the morning Irina called back and said that the room with a sea view, which we paid for, would be free only in a day, and as compensation, the hotel provided a refrigerator for 2 weeks, free drinks for 2 days (they wanted to offer lunch, but we had FB) and 50 euros. We agreed. To be honest, it would be cheaper for the hotel to accommodate us right away, but that's their problem.
On this, all the troubles ended, besides, the compensation was decent and they also lived in another hotel.
Nelya beach is located right next to the sea, but not far from the center. We got a room with a sea view, although the view was spoiled by an unfinished hotel (apparently it was abandoned a long time ago), but this is not critical. The rooms are quite spacious, a little worn, but overall not bad. The air conditioner worked well. But the second side of the hotel goes directly to the stamatia hotel (the distance is very small), so the rooms on this side are unlikely to please.

The food corresponds to the level of the hotel, I liked it, the cuisine is European. Here the system is all inclusive, Swedish so, the choice is not large, but quite acceptable. Live music in the evenings (even sing in Russian).
Overall, we enjoyed our two days at the hotel.
Now about anesis.
The hotel is newly renovated. The room is excellent, corresponds to the level of 4 stars, the view is also superb, on the sea. I advise you to pay extra for a sea view in advance, because they can settle on the ground floor (overlooking the fence or right at the entrance). Judging by the balconies, there are large rooms with a kitchen (family).
The food is a little more modest than in Nele, but in general it corresponds to the level of three stars, in any case you will not be hungry. Breakfast (European, eggs, nipples, croissants, etc. ) and dinner (a little richer, there are different types of meat, fish) buffet, lunch - menu. there are no special claims to nutrition, because more chibor will be reflected in the price.
Should I choose FB, consider that lunch costs the same as in restaurants in the city (of which there are plenty). So that one on one will come out. Moreover, drinks are not included in FB (by the way, they are very expensive on the island).
From fruits they gave melons, watermelons, oranges, apples and kiwi. peaches and apricots were not given (they are very expensive on the island).
Surprisingly, there were few seafood in Nell and Anesis (and they were few in stores).
The territory is not large, there is no entertainment (yes, they are not needed, because the sea is nearby)
In general, the hotel is good, for the money you will hardly find better.
Separately for the beach. The beach is very close.
The sea is excellent, just super, clean and transparent (only a couple of days it was stormy and there were algae). Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid (2.5 euros each). But money is collected only in the first half of the day, in the afternoon you can borrow for free, no one asks. You can also sit on the sand, but it is forbidden between the rows of sunbeds, and where it is allowed - there are not many places by 11 o’clock everything is occupied).

On Nisi Beach, the sea is generally amazing, but there are also disadvantages. It takes a very long time to go to the depth, besides there is a small strip of algae. Although it's worth it to go and see (the bus runs from the center, the cost is 1.5 euros).
You also need to take into account that all drinks on nishi beach are twice as expensive as near anesis, and it’s far from the center, so it’s better not to choose hotels there.
A few words about the nearby St. Napa hotel: the territory is larger than anesis, there is animation, outwardly the impressions are good, but I don’t know what’s inside, although if you take into account that it is first of all clogged, then it’s probably good.
The most accessible store is Plus (very close, around the corner to the right). The prices there are more reasonable.
Large selection of car rentals, ATVs, buggies.
