I'll start with the fact that this hotel operators are already selling as 4, although in fact it is still 3. Of course, it pulls three, but no more. Choosing this hotel, you must clearly understand that you have to pay for literally everything. I have never met such a person in any hotel, although we were not in the same country. Refrigerator in the room is paid, safe on the reception is paid, towels are paid, deck chair, umbrella, drinks (even ordinary drinking water). We were shocked when we wanted to collect plain water from a vending machine in a small bottle, but we were not allowed to do so. Just so you know, a small glass of beer (200 ml, a disposable small glass) costs 3 euros. You come to dinner, sit and eat and of course you want all these requests, a glass of wine 4 euros. And in the store next to a bottle of the most expensive costs 11 euros. We were on a tour and took lunch with us, so we came to the hotel and could not eat it anywhere, or not allowed to eat at the hotel.
and you will not hide from them anywhere.
I have never seen such insanity anywhere.

The rooms are normal, but the console from the Conder must be taken at the reception and for 10 euros. And there are sockets with a special adapter, this adapter must also be purchased from them. This is complete nonsense, a feeling that soon there will have to pay for air : )))
Regarding tours, hotels are exactly 2 times more expensive. We first took one - "Odyssey", a boat trip to relax a bit - will go, it costs 80 euros per person. And then we met a local Cypriot, he is Russian, but has lived for many years and has his own business in Cyprus, so he showed us the cheapest agency, we took a second tour there and did not regret (price and quality). Great rest.
As for the island itself, we really liked it, there is something to see, beautiful sea, nature.
As for the beach, you have to go to Adams Beach, it's like their personal beach, but no one says anything and you don't have to pay for sunbeds.
The famous Nisi Beach, which all the operators say is terribly dirty, floats all sorts of garbage, the beach itself is not cleaned, cigarette butts, condoms and all sorts of garbage, in the morning you can meet only a drunken rabble, with children you will not go there of course. In general, this is the local Ibiza, discos until the morning and so on. And then fall asleep on deck chairs when ordinary people come to bathe.
Who is interested in writing in a personal answer to the question. Have a good rest
