Hotel ratings by criteria:
A good enough three-star hotel, but there are some nuances.
Food: tasty but not varied, that is, when you come to the buffet, you should not expect the tables to be bursting like in Turkey. Nevertheless, you will not stay hungry, chicken, fish and meat are always present. We took all-inclusive meals and already at the very beginning of the holiday we realized that we did it in vain, because during the day you lie on the beach and you don’t want to go to the hotel for dinner, so we ate at beach cafes. In the evening there is also nothing to do in the hotel, so you will have a drink in the city.

Rooms: standard rooms in the main building are small, it is better to book a family room, it is much larger or the rooms in the bungalow are two-story, although the view from the room in the bungalow will not be very good. There is another one, in the main building in the basement next to the indoor pool, there are five rooms without windows, this is really terrible, just a nightmare.

They clean the rooms, frankly, very mediocre, in our room they constantly forgot to change towels and we had to go to the reception for towels. The reception staff is just super, very friendly girls, especially Milena, they speak Russian. In the bar and restaurant, the staff were supposedly from Poland and Romania, rather slow citizens.

Excursions: In no case do not buy excursions in agencies in the city, only from a tour operator. We decided to save some money and bought a tour of the city from the Markos & Shiapanis agency, for 50 euros per person we were pushed into a small minibus with terrible seats (the trip took a whole day).
The guide was absent, instead of him there was a badly speaking Russian driver who was constantly rude to us, to our requests to tell us something about the history of Cyprus, we were given the answer that we needed an archeological tour (what it is incomprehensible) we were taken to two factories with crazy prices , we were taken to a waterfall (the attendant didn’t even get out of the car, we climbed ourselves : )) and then they brought us to Kikos (it’s a very beautiful monastery, but we didn’t hear its history) and they also sold a lunch for 10 euros, which was simply impossible to eat, in short, not save on excursions. When we went to the Markos & Shiapanis agency to sort it out, they scolded us there, in short, super service, and the offices of this agency are all over the city.

The sea is excellent, there is something to compare with, reminiscent of the islands in Thailand, light sand and blue sea. The beach next to the hotel is really one of the best in Cyprus.
Have a good rest.
