Just got back from vacation and want to share my experience. I wanted to relax with my 9-year-old daughter in Cyprus, I was looking for an inexpensive hotel, but next to a sandy beach, so that I didn’t have to go far. The girl in the travel agency advised Okeanos.

I'm very glad we chose him.

We got from the airport by a group transfer, our hotel was the second in arrival, and the journey took about 50 minutes. We arrived in the morning, around 12 we were at the hotel. International standards, of course, have not been canceled, so we checked in, changed clothes, left our things for storage and went for a walk to the beach. We arrived at two o'clock and we were seated. Provided a sea view as per our booking. The rooms are clean, spacious and have a balcony. Air conditioning and safe are free. I knew about the adapters in advance, read the reviews, bought such a souvenir for 2 euros, now we can take it with us)

Now about the food: we had breakfast and dinner included.

The restaurant itself is not big, but there is variety. As far as Mashulya is picky about food, on the third day I stopped worrying about it. For breakfast, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, toast, muesli, yogurt, bacon, beans, potato croquettes. For dinner, several types of salad, sauces, meat, fish, chicken. From a side dish and potatoes, pasta, rice with vegetables. There are always fruits and sweets (chocolate cake is unrealistically delicious). I didn't expect this from a 3 star hotel.

A two-minute walk from the hotel is the sea, a sandy beach (which was important for me). I was a little surprised that the beaches are all municipal in Cyprus, and to use a sunbed, you need to pay 2.5 euros for one beach umbrella at the same price, but there are many shops nearby where you can buy towels and mats. About 10 minutes walk to the "plus" store (up the street and on the right), where they bought fruit and basic necessities.
The hotel is also 15 minutes from the center, where the main attraction is located - the church of St. Napa, they were guided by it when a bus stop was needed. The famous street of bars begins there, but I had no time for it.

Approximately the same amount of time to go to the city amusement park, where you can ride a carousel.

We went by bus to one of the most popular beaches in Ayia Napa, Nissi beach, but it’s beautiful there, but there are much more people. The water was like in the pictures that I looked at before the trip, a sandy spit to the island.

We rested for 9 days, there is no children's animation in the hotel. So, in order to diversify the rest, we decided to go somewhere. First of all, for me, the safety of my daughter, so I decided to take it from the hotel
guide, because if something happens, the street firm can then not be found.
One day was allocated for a historical trip (Paphos-Kurion), at first I was worried about how Mashulya would transfer the trip, after all, for the whole day, but the program was well drawn up so that there were always some stops, something to tell. We walked around the ancient theater, swam in the bay of Aphrodite, went to Byzantine churches, learned how local sweets are made and tried, and also walked along the Paphos embankment. Mashulya slept several times on the bus, she was tired, but only the most positive impressions remained. And just got out on a pirate ship. It takes only 5-7 minutes to go to the port.


Very convenient location, everything you need is within walking distance, and in the evening it is not noisy. The hotel staff do not all speak Russian (only a few people), but always try to help, polite and helpful. This is definitely the place where you want to return.
We have already booked this hotel for autumn, when the water warms up and it will be possible to spend more time at sea.
