Rested in Cyprus with a girlfriend from 1 to 8 June 2014. Operator Newstravel.
Cyprus met with sun and wind. It was windy almost every day, but the wind was warm. It is better to take panamas with strings so that they do not blow away.

Accommodation and number:

Settled in 10 minutes - we arrived at the hotel alone.
The guys immediately picked up our suitcases and delivered to the room for which they received their tips.
We could not turn on the light in the room, it turned out that the plugs were knocked out. The problem was solved right away.
The hotel is good but old. On an almost white laminate, worn areas blacken, the ventilation grill is not plastered normally, cracks in the marble sink. But then we got used to it and it didn't bother us.
The first night was terrible - there was a disco in the room next door with loud music, screaming and slamming doors so that it seemed that the hotel was made of cardboard. We were tired from the road and even slept a little with all this.

They did not reach the reception - they tried to turn off the light in their room on the electric meter. Did not work out. After a while, they subsided on their own (maybe others reached the respshina) and we slept the rest of the night.

The room has air conditioning with 3 modes: strong, medium, weak. Looks like a bedside table or a record player. It cools OK, but we practically didn’t turn it on - it wasn’t hot. +25-29.

The hotel is mostly older European couples. There were few young people.

Food:

We had HB. Breakfast - Swedish table. good, normal juices, not UPI. The cook fries eggs or scrambled eggs at will. There has always been scrambled eggs. Simply gorgeous bacon. The waiters brought tea / coffee in a teapot and you could make yourself coffee from the coffee machine. It was possible to have breakfast on the street overlooking the sea (but in a blouse, because it's windy).
Dinner - on the menu, the dishes are brought by the waiters. On 1st and 2nd you order a choice of three offers (salad bar as one of the choices on both 1st and 2nd).
For dinner, soup (do not take onion - a terrible muck) and a buffet of fruits and desserts.
In addition to onion soup, everything is exceptionally tasty and of high quality, exquisite even for example. figs and pine nuts in the salad.
Drinks at dinner are paid. Eg. tea 3.50 euros is just a mug of boiling water with a tea bag. Exactly the same bag is in the room - tea and coffee bags in the room - free of charge.

Tours:
We didn't go. In Paphos - 65 euros without lunch. For 14 euros we took a bus to Larnaca, and then to Limamol and back. It was possible to get to Paphos by bus, but you need to leave early - it takes 3.5-4 hours.

We walked around the city. From Nissi Beach near the Adams Beach Hotel, you can walk along the beach to our hotel in about an hour of leisurely walking. There is a path, you can also bike.

We rented a bike for 5 euros per day and went to Protaras - a nearby town, about 10 km from Ayia Napa.

There are paths on the side for cyclists, a beautiful road, it's a pleasure to ride. On the way back there is a section where you have to go uphill. We drove for about an hour one way. I liked Protaras very much - I recommend to see it. You can also take a bus. Check the schedule at bus stops and plan your trips.

Sea and beach:
The sea is gorgeous and clean. There were waves with lamb almost every day. White sand (volcanic gray in Larnaca). 2 sun loungers and an umbrella on the beach near the sea 7.50 euros per day. The beach is very cozy, attracts people, especially to the area with sand near the sunbeds. But if you lie on sunbeds, it doesn't seem so crowded.
There is a beach on a hill from the sea - this is the beach of the hotel itself. There are sun loungers for free, but to swim, you have to go down a little to the sea. And it was more windy here than down by the sea.

Everywhere they speak Russian, the menu is in Russian, and mostly Russians have a rest.

Pros:
- a chic cozy beach near the hotel
- hotel beach with free sun loungers
- amazingly delicious bacon for breakfast and juices
- friendly, helpful staff
- Dinners in a restaurant with waiter service
- delicious meals for dinner
- wi-fi in the room and lobby (although I didn’t catch it on my iphone 5 in the room; I caught it with my girlfriend with iphone 5s)

Minuses:
- a bit old repair and furniture in the room
- Complimentary drinks at dinner
