Unfortunately they didn't last long. I can compare basically only with good 5 * hotels in Turkey. Compared to them, the hotel is small, but rather big: everything you need is there. Near the pools, sun loungers are free (all inclusive) on the beach - 2.5 euros per sunbed and the same amount for an umbrella. In early September, the weather in Cyprus: the sea is warm, the heat subsides quickly. The rooms are quite comfortable, although the plumbing is rather rustic. The food is not bad, but somewhat monotonous - especially the breakfasts. There is virtually no animation. The choice of drinks in the bars is not bad - I liked the Cypriot brandy - very soft. The hotel is located near the sea. Service is generally weaker than in Turkey, but tolerable. Worse, the obvious preference is for the Germans and the British. Until they are served, they will not approach the Russians. Sometimes our tourists had to literally drag the waiter to their table. Their leisure time is organized at the level, and our curator was only seen once when they booked an excursion. But in fairness, it must be said that he did not disappoint anywhere, and in Turkey they sin with this on expensive tours. Cleaned every day, but soap and shampoo are required if you remind. Towels are old and gray and newer and white. From leaving a tip, I did not notice a serious difference in the service. Although in general the people are friendly, but some shots come across. Soups, or rather cream soups, are served only for dinner, and this bothered me as a fan of the first. The wines are inexpensive, I thought. There are normal ones for 4-5 euros. The famous Commandaria - 8-10 euros. There is enough water in the shower - at the end of summer, not all hotels in Cyprus can boast of this. In general, water is saved here. As our guide joked, Cypriots are dark not only because of the sun. Excursions in general are not bad, but by car is probably better (unfortunately forgot the rights) - the roads are excellent. Much, if not all, redeems the sea and the beaches of Ayia Napa. The sand is ordinary, but in Cyprus this is far from being the case everywhere. But the sea is much cleaner than in Turkey (Belek) - right Bounty.
