We rested with my wife and 3-year-old child for two weeks at the end of June 2013.
Biblioglobus met us at the airport, then 40 minutes of transportation and we were there!
We booked a room in the main building (side sea view) and were very worried not to get into the so-called bungalows. However, everything worked out, they settled immediately (we arrived at 14:30) and the rest began!
At first, it seemed that the rooms were a little outdated in design, but after a few hours we got used to it and we really liked the room. From the balcony - side sea view. The air conditioner worked fine, but at night we turned it off. There were no interruptions in water supply for 2 weeks.
We did not use the safe and refrigerator (about 3-5 euros / day). It should be noted that our refrigerator was open and, in principle, we could use it. One power adapter was already available, you can also use the shaver socket in the bathroom (for example, to charge your phone).
Cleaning in the room was like every day: changed towels, shampoos, soap, bed linen, swept. We asked the maids about the kettle, they first said that they say no, you can only buy some kind of set with tea, coffee, etc. for 5 euros / day, but after half a day they brought the kettle just like that. The maids are very friendly. We did not leave a tip, only 8 or 10 euros were left at the check-out, because we liked everything very much. Everything in the room was left in plain sight: coins, laptop, tablet, phones - nothing was missing.
They also asked for 3 beach towels, which were changed several times for clean ones (for free).
The old CRT TV showed two Russian channels (RTR planet and musicbox).
Wi-Fi in the hotel is paid: an hour is 3 euros, a day is 10 euros, a week is like 35 euros. But in our room, I caught the open network of some nearby hotel (MERMAID) and we used it quite successfully.
Now about food. We had half board (HB), i. e. breakfast and dinner. Dinner can be changed for lunch at least every day.
In the case of a tour, you can take lunch. We liked the food very much. Well, that is, there were no special frills, but there is always a large selection and everything is very tasty. The only thing I did not like was not enough fruit and for dinner / lunch all drinks are paid. For 2 weeks, we ran up for drinks (tea, juice, coffee) 62 euros.
Once we changed dinner for lunch. We liked the evening selection better.
You can eat both indoors and outdoors.
For lunch we went to cafes and restaurants: the average bill is 30-50 euros (you can meet 20 in eateries). Sometimes it was very tasty, sometimes - so-so. I really liked the Ocean Basket (near the pier) sea restaurant.
The hotel has a large swimming pool with fountains and bridges, 2 bars, a playground (bibliosha club), tennis court (rackets and balls - 4 euros), a volleyball court, a gym, slot machines, table tennis (racquets for a deposit of 5 euros).
We practically did not use the pool, as well as the territory of the hotel, since the sea is a minute away! !
Now a little about the beach (it's called like central, Limanaki or Glyky Neron). In our opinion, it is really the best in Ayia Napa. During the rest we visited all the main beaches of Ayia Napa and Protaras, including the famous Nissi Beach. We couldn't find anything better than our beach. A very gentle entrance to the sea, clear blue water, no algae, jellyfish, etc. The sand is fine and clean. There are sun loungers and free space for children on the sand. In general, super! ! !
We did not take excursions from the biblioglobus, as it is expensive and not everyone is suitable with a child. They only took tickets with an open date to the water park and dancing fountains in Protaras - a couple of euros cheaper than buying at the box office. In general, at first there was an idea to rent a car, but then they changed their minds. Through BiblioGlobus it turned out about 40-50 euros / day for the simplest car with a machine gun and insurance.
And also gasoline.
Have used taxi several times. We got to the hotel from Protaras in 15 euros. To the water park - for 8e. To Nissi Beach - even for 4th.
The bus costs 1.5 euros, children under 6 years old are free. Buses caused a double sensation. Firstly, with a full cabin, he passes stops - on the one hand, it’s correct, but what should we do? Secondly, when we were driving from the water park, and this is the bus ring, at the entrance to the bus, our compatriots traditionally created a wild crowd and a fight for seats. After that, there was no desire to once again use the bus.
In general, there are a LOT of Russians. Everyone speaks Russian. Menu, signs - in Russian. As if they never left.
I really liked the AquaPark, including a 3-year-old child. The cost is about 80 euros for three. Plus at the entrance of 5 euros per cell. You can also eat on site.
I also really liked the dancing fountains, but there was one caveat. We had tickets (check) from BiblioGlobus (about 60 euros).
We arrived an hour before the start, but we were told that there were no more places! They suggested going to a late session (22:30) or tomorrow.
The show itself is quite interesting, before the start you can order something from their menu, so it makes no sense to buy tickets with dinner.
We rode on a pirate ship 'Black Pearl' (70s for three) and on a speedboat Galaxy (100s) with a glass bottom. Both of those are great.
Several times visited the amusement park in the very center of the city. The price of the token is 1e (or 12 for 10e). Overall, not bad.
