Stayed at Melpo Antia in July. The location of the hotel is relatively comfortable. There is a road nearby, but it didn’t bother us; a bit far from the nearest beach (Grecian Bay), we don’t mind walking, but in the heat, with a small amount of greenery along the way, you get tired. But there is a supermarket nearby with good prices, who cares - right across the road from McDonald's.
The design of the hotel is modern, clean and comfortable. A small dining room, but everyone was quietly placed, and there was a terrace (there is also a bar), where you could also go out to eat. Live music played occasionally on the terrace.
I liked the food (we had breakfast + dinner), dinners were especially varied, sometimes Italian cuisine, sometimes Mexican, etc. Desserts were almost always the same, but delicious. Breakfast is also quite monotonous, but the choice of dishes was large. There are no juices, but this is not the first time we encounter this abroad, so we were not surprised.

A compliment was waiting for us in the room - champagne and fruit) I liked the room itself (1 Bedroom Suite), everything is compact and thoughtful. The first room is a studio. The kitchen had everything you need. The living room has a comfortable sofa, TV, chest of drawers with an ottoman. The balcony is just huge - two sunbeds, a table and chairs, a view of the pool. The bedroom has a large bed, wardrobe (inside the safe), another TV, windows. Air conditioning in both rooms.
Regarding the cleaning of the room, I can not say that they cleaned very well. But something else was more pressing. The maids did not react to the signs with the inscription "do not disturb". They knocked on the door until they opened it, or even went in themselves, moreover, through the closed bedroom door.
Melpo Antia also has its own cafe. There are discounts for hotel guests.
A large number of bars and discos, cafes in Ayia Napa is not a secret for anyone) I liked discounts on cocktails (almost everywhere there were such offers) - 30 euros each after 23.00 or 50 euros for 4, etc.
Excursions can also be ordered at one of the offices, which are many in Ayia Napa. We did just that, there were no nuances, everything went well. We went on an excursion Aphrodite - Paphos, were satisfied. In the bay of Aphrodite, there are gorgeous views, a milky sea, beauty, in general.
As I already wrote, the Grecian Bay beach was the closest and I liked it the most. If you enter from the side of the port, at first there will be a narrow coastline, a lot of sun loungers, and a stone bottom (there is a special entry), then the coast expands, there is much more space and sand.
We also went to Sandy Bay Beach. I liked that they cleaned the sea from debris and algae, the sandy bottom. If on foot, then go to him for about half an hour. Or take the bus.
And, of course, were on Nissi Beach! If we consider it as a beach holiday, then I didn’t really like it - there were a lot of people, when entering the sea, garbage floated... And if it’s more fun in terms of entertainment, then definitely only here. We went to him by bus.
We were going to Cyprus, but to a more peaceful place, Ayia Napa is not like that at all. Although they were, in general, very satisfied with the rest, since it was still interesting to look at the resort known for its fun and entertainment)

P. S. There were nuances at the airport. No one warned about electronic tickets, and people got stuck there, could not find what and where to enter. We watched how another couple rummaged through the entire suitcase to show the customs officer the olive oil bought in Cyprus, so, most likely, it is better to put it somewhere not far away, so that later it would be convenient to get it, well, or clarify this point right away.
