We were in this hotel in September 2012. Quiet rest, mostly Russian-speaking guests. You can say both + and - about the hotel. An excellent beach, sand, the bottom is pleasant, there is enough space both by the pool and by the sea. In general, the sea is a fairy tale....The hotel itself is very cozy. The staff is laid back. Food is modest. It is better to take HB, especially since they are willing to change lunches and dinners. At lunchtime, it’s too lazy to “travel” in the heat, but it’s just right to have dinner, take a walk around the cafes. Food is not cheap. The location of the hotel is convenient. (The drive to Larnaca airport is not very long, so take care of the transfer to Larnaca, and not to Paphos! ) But the Greek Cypriots do not follow the hotel very well, because there, like ours, there are only "bosses", and employees are mostly Bulgarians and the territory sometimes looked unkempt, i. e. I see it clean, but in the corners, where flowers, shrubs are all cluttered up, and the road to the sea is all in the trash: napkins, plastic, etc. And the bosses are 7-8 people in the restaurant, at lunchtime you can see right away: they sit at the end of the hall and "talk, " there is no one to walk around and even look after the territory. However, this is no longer our concern, but it catches the eye. And of course, I was puzzled by the fact that they have an Internet fee of 4 euros! In a nearby hotel for free, and in a cafe next to coffee 3 euros + Internet to boot. I often hung out with a tablet there....
And yet, the Greeks are a pleasant and calm people. They were in the Temple for some big holiday, everything they have is modest and very sincere. Local families came, dressed very simply and behave naturally, without "show-offs", which pleases.
In general, I always go on vacation with a positive attitude and try not to think about anything bad and treat everyone with understanding and a smile, and it always works, they answer me the same. Of course, it is desirable to learn at least a couple of three of their basic words, such as "elmera! " - hello, and then everyone will be pleased. By the way, this hotel speaks Russian, but not all. But in English, almost everyone. Universal language!

And finally, I give an example of how our Russian lady in this hotel courted her Vasya and endlessly brought him beer, then cola, then some other unhealthy food from the all-inclusive bar, and this Vasya barely crawls through the door and that's very comical it all looked, especially when he froze like a hippo in the pool, and she immediately hurried to him again with another portion. My husband and I also noticed that our Russian young men sometimes look like pregnant women, and this is embarrassing and surprising. Still, you need to somehow "maintain" yourself otherwise... By the way, their women are very attractive and slender! However, the trend!
