Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is small. Of the tourists, somewhere around 70-80% are Germans, youth and pensioners. There are few Russians, mostly young couples.
Rooms are ok, not very spacious. Cleaned like normal, towels change. But the linen, until we asked twice at the reception - we did not change it for 3-4 days. What is nice - a big TV, your own air conditioning. We had torn curtains in our room. Either no one complained (we, however, too) or no one cares. Our windows faced the courtyard (that is, the street), from where we could see the asphalted parking lot, a little further - the backyards of the mazins and the road. But this did not bother us much, because it did not interfere with doing our own business. The main thing is not noisy. But Russians are mostly accommodated with a view of the courtyard.
Food: Dinner - very tasty, lots of different dishes, fresh meat, fish, lots of salads and greens. Fruit is not very tasty, though.
the choice is small and often they are unripe, hard. We didn't take lunch. (HB)
And breakfast is a problem! Sausages are weird. And the omelet is impossible to eat at all! You could also take cereals, milk, juices (it seems like a diluted powder), chopped fruits, vegetables, toasts, jam, etc. But in general, breakfast is the same all the time and it’s hard to eat it on the third day.
Territory is also a problem. The hotel consists of two straight parts, at an angle of 135 degrees. Everything inside this territory is green and watered. But if you want to go to the sea, then it is 300-500 meters, and as soon as the pool ends + another 20 meters, a clay wasteland scorched by the sun begins, on which some rusty pipes, bottles, garbage pour out. That is, what we saw in the picture in the agency is not at all what it really is.
It seems that the staff is not very friendly, except for a few waiters and bartenders. It is especially pleasant to communicate with the bartender Dimitris. We burned very badly twice and he made something like sour cream for us somewhere (because there is nothing like it in Cyprus). Animation, though in English, but with a terrible accent. Well, in general, she is pissed off at the Germans.
Beach. This is a separate issue! If you want to swim in the sea, all the shores here are made of stone. The beach itself is sandy. Descent into the water - there is a small hole with sand, immediately the depth is about a meter. The diameter of the hole is about 5 meters. Further from all sides, too, stones. But there are very few people on the beach here, unlike other hotels and beaches. All sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, so the Russians lie on their towels and bedding. (something like mats can be bought for 2-3 pounds - this is * 2 = 4-6 US dollars). And the Germans don't go to the beach at all. They prefer the pool. By the end of the holiday, I understood them : ) - and also began to enjoy very pleasant water in the pool instead of swimming in the sea - even the birds drank from it.
What else. Shopping. Well, for shopping it is better to go, probably, to Nicosia. And in no case do not take all these excursions that are offered to you. The bus stops at every eatery and they push you for services you don't need. It's better to take a taxi. It will cost you £.30 to Nicosia. For four - 7 pounds (15 USD) instead of a bus for 30 pounds round-trip per person. Well, there is nothing to see on sightseeing tours in the hot season either. They point to a brook, they say that there is a waterfall, they point to a palm tree, they say - but this is a palm tree, etc. You can rent a car, but we were afraid, because the left-hand traffic. Nightlife is the only thing worth going to Ayia Napa for. Yes. 20 minutes by bus - a very good AQUA PARK. Spent the whole day there! I highly recommend going there - you won't regret it.
As already mentioned here, everything needs a deposit. Regarding the city, the position of the hotel is advantageous. To the road - 50 meters, to the city center - 10-15 minutes. Buses run on schedule.
The most pleasant. Due to the fact that the rocky shores and the rocky bottom in the sea, we crossed it only towards the end of our vacation, even those who are not very good swimmers can dive with a mask. It is very beautiful under water, all kinds of fish swim, I dived for hedgehogs. We also hunted small crabs - this activity was terribly exciting : ).
In short, the hotel does not pull on 4 stars, I do not know how to three. But in general - not bad. Of course, for this money, if I had to go to Ayia Napa again, now that I had some experience on how to spend money there and where to go, I would go there too.
The BIGGEST plus is that the hotel is small, thanks to this it is cozy and there are few people there - which is very nice, especially after Moscow....like that.
