I stayed at this hotel in July 2007 and loved it! I would love to spend my next vacation there!
The hotel fully justifies its 3 *. It is located on a small hill. But the beach is actually within easy reach - cross the road and go down the hill. The lazy ones can go down at the very first hotel and in 5 minutes be already on the beach. On the left there will be a rocky shore, along which you can walk, there are very beautiful views! On the right will be directly the municipal beach. It is not tied to the hotel in any way, you can swim where you please today. The sea is clean, very warm!!
The hotel has excellent staff, the waiters - guys from Slovenia - are very nice!! ! There was no need to catch anyone by the hand, in general the service was at the level. There is a Russian-speaking girl Irina at the reception, the animator Natasha also speaks Russian quite well. The staff is very friendly, many of us were even friends! True, there is no organization of leisure in the evenings at the hotel, it is boring and there is nothing to do there. Therefore, vacationers simply absorb cocktails in the bar and communicate. In fact, exactly the same situation is in other hotels nearby, were in "Margadin" - even the music is absolutely the same. Therefore, it is better to have fun in the center. It's a 20 minute walk from the hotel, no more. This, by the way, is also a big plus, because. there is no noise in the hotel. I really sympathize with those living in the center: all night long there is a creepy screaming youth there. Until 2 am, you can sit in a bar or pub (by the way, many of them have a disco, but you don’t need to pay an entrance fee). Prices are also quite reasonable for alcohol. After 2 the clubs start working. The best place - club "Castle", lit there until the morning!!!! ! There are 4 dance floors and very high quality European music, not like the banal St. Petersburg discos. In the center, young people distribute flyers, they can really be used and get big discounts on the same booze, for example. There are many Russians (more than half), Italians, Germans, even Englishmen at the resort. The latter, by the way, have the worst fun of all, get drunk obscenely and arrange parties right on the street.

As for the hotel itself. . . The room is very decent, the furniture is new, wicker. The room is cozy. There is a balcony, TV, safe, hair dryer, telephone, we even had an extra bed in the room)) What is nice - no problems with the settlement, although we arrived at night, they settled right away and the room was given exactly the one we paid for. And if a side view of the sea is promised, then it really will be.
The food in the hotel is very average, there is no variety in the cuisine. Although the choice is quite large! I am especially pleased with the presence of a large number of fruits (although they are also always the same) from peaches and grapes to melons and watermelons, very tasty ice cream and you can overeat endlessly. There is still no variety in juices: they are only orange or pineapple! But the bar has a lot of different cocktails: during the day at the pool - dairy, in the evening, at the bar - alcoholic. On the system "All inclusive" you can order almost everything you want!
The hotel has 2 swimming pools: one is indoor, the other is outdoor, but very small. On the other hand, really: why do we need a pool if the sea is nearby!! ! maximum you can lie next to the pool during the day, when it is very hot at sea! You can’t swim in the pool at night, which is also a small minus (deprives you of a special resort romance). However, as far as I know, in most hotels at night you can not swim.
There is nothing special to do on the famous Nissi Beach, I would not advise going there more than 2 times. All entertainment ends after 2 hours, and the sea is quite dirty there. We could not even enter it: there were too many disgusting small algae that even remained on the body after leaving the sea. There is no such thing on the beach at the hotel. But on the other hand, in shallow water, where the white sand is, it’s very cool!
I advise you to definitely visit the Aqua Park, it's really cool!! ! You will not regret! ! The slides there are excellent, besides, it is very beautiful in itself !!!! ! How the day flies there - you don’t even notice. Sun loungers are free and there are always free places. You can choose a place in the shade to lie down after the slides!!
In general, there are quite a lot of excursions, the prices for them at the hotel are higher, but there is no chance that you will not get on this excursion or no one will come for you !!

And most importantly - Cyprus is an amazingly beautiful country!!! ! I advise everyone to definitely visit it at least once in your life, you will not regret it !!!!!! !
