Hotel ratings by criteria:
I really liked the hotel, it fully justifies its 4 * by European standards. Well, first things first:
1. Location:
The hotel is located in a very picturesque place of Ayia Napa (50 km from the airport in Larnaca), and we did not fail with the choice of the beach - white sand and clear sea. Most of the beaches in Cyprus are municipal, i. e. sun loungers and umbrellas are paid. The hotel has free sun loungers both around the pool and on the sandy beach, which is located on a hill and you can go down to the sea by a small staircase. But in my opinion this is a huge plus, because from the hill on which the sandy beach is located, there is a magnificent view of the sea and the surrounding area. The entrance to the water is very convenient for 25-30 m shallow depth, which is good for both children and for playing in the water.
2. Nutrition:
English breakfast buffet. For dinner, the menu is quite varied, very tasty desserts, fruits are available both for breakfast and for dinner. You can easily change dinner for lunch if you want to dine in the city. All drinks except breakfast are paid, and the prices are very high. For example, a 0.5 liter bottle of water in the room minibar costs 1.10 Cypriot pounds, which is approximately equal to 75 rubles. We bought water in the city supermarket, where 5 liters costs 2.5 - 3 pounds.
3. On the territory of the hotel:
The rooms are large, large balconies on the 1st and 2nd floors overlooking the sea. If you want to have a room with a sea view, solve this issue immediately here when you book a hotel. We paid extra 150 euros for a full sea view. Rooms are cleaned daily, towels are changed every day, bed linen 2 times a week, a safe in the room is free of charge, but you need to take the key to the reception. One feature: in the room there are euro sockets, our adapters do not fit, again at the reception you can take a 3rd adapter for a deposit of 1 pound. There are Russian-speaking staff, both at the reception and in restaurants, so if anything, please contact us, they will always help and prompt. In general, the hotel staff is very friendly, all our requests were fulfilled without any problems. The area around the hotel is very well maintained.
There is no special entertainment in the hotel, for this you need to go to the city.
Negative:
- sunbeds in the hotel had to be borrowed from the very morning, from 7 o'clock, because a lot of Germans rest in the hotel, and they are early birds and keep larger and larger groups. In general, one smart pensioner from the above-mentioned Germany came out every morning at 6.30 am with 20 towels and scored 20 sunbeds, respectively.
- cigarettes in Cyprus are very expensive, even at the airport, and only 1 block per person is allowed to be imported, we had 4 blocks bought in Moscow DF for two, and we had to pay 15 pounds to pick them up, and the alternative we had to leave them there in the form of a present to airport employees, I decided that it would be better to pay a fine than leave them anything, they behaved very cheekily. And in general, as we were later told, the fewer packages you have in your hands, the more chances that you will not be searched.
