Хороший отель. Good hotel.

Hello Dear tourists.
As many of you have a situation that the hotel was not the one you wanted, but what was left. Coming home and reading previous reviews, to put it mildly, nervous, because dirty laundry, old shabby room and cleaning once a week in the holiday plans were not included ((But there was nothing to do, began to gather. In my life it was the first times), when they decided to bring towels and their own bed, so that at least the dirty linen of the hotel does not spoil your holiday (as it turned out, all this was pulled in vain, the hotel was clean).
NUMBER:
Upon arrival at the hotel we were settled by a Russian-speaking girl (according to observation, she changed, only on those days when Russian tourists come, then we talked to the staff in English). Settled immediately, because we arrived just before 14.00. They immediately started asking questions: is the room clean and bright, with a sea view and so on.

The answers were affirmative, but with some apprehension went to settle. There was no end to the excitement when they saw a clean (just licked) room with a clean bed and towels. (During the week the room was cleaned 4 times and the bed and towels were changed. We even found the schedule of room cleaning by dates on the table, we cleaned clearly after them) In the appendix all photo rooms after arrival. Well, a big bonus for us was the view from the balcony to the sea and the pool) We honestly assumed that we were just crazy lucky and left the room for which we wanted to take money, but no one paid and we just gave it to him as the last, ie. the hotel was full. I hope that the other rooms that you come across will not be worse. There is always hot water and at night it also starts to heat up 40 seconds after turning on the tap.
There is liquid soap (gel, shampoo and everything else that you use, you have to take with you or buy in the supermarket across the street), hair dryer and iron are also not. The air conditioner works well, autonomous, you set the temperature yourself. There are no mosquitoes or other biting or rodents. Ants can appear only if you leave something sweet on the table, clean up. They disappear. There are no mosquitoes or gnats in Cyprus at all. So you do not need to take fumigators)) There are warm blankets in the closet if you freeze. And extra pillows. For cooking there is absolutely everything we did not use. We took HB and had lunch at a restaurant. But who goes with children or just wants to save, you will receive a full kitchen on arrival.
FOOD:
English breakfast: omelet, boiled, fried eggs, bacon, beans in tomato, baked zucchini and tomatoes, toast, 4 types of jam, cheese slices, sausages, toast, grapefruit 3 types, fruit salad, tea, coffee, juice (type, milk , cereals, cupcake.
Dinner: different every day, quite decent, but late. It starts at 19.00. So after him there is no desire to go anywhere. I would certainly prefer lunch instead, but unfortunately they do not change (and if you eat on a tour, no one will bring you lunch).
Dinner is served with a variety of salads, Greek dressings, olives, daily cooked seafood, pork, beef and chicken. Garnishes, pies 4 types. Of fruits: watermelon, melon, plum, apricot, peach. Drinks are not included. Eat a lot, but nothing special was remembered (again, a matter of taste). Although they cook well.
They discovered an absolutely stunning Italian restaurant DE MEDICI, towards the center on the right, on the nose of the avenue. They cook just fine and not expensive. Lunch with restaurant service will cost 8.5 euros per person. Soup of 3 choices, Caesar salad with shrimp or chicken / or spaghetti (carbonara, belognese) and orange FRESH !!!

) + Gift from the restaurant buns, butter, olives. Excellent dry white wine 250ml. 4 euros. Dinner is also excellent -10 euros per person. After this restaurant we only went to try meze fish in the tavern MARCOS, and decided not to experiment)) Constantly had lunch at MEDICE. And there you can order lunch from the evening menu. Fish appetizer in Marcos is said to be excellent, consisting of 23 dishes. (Beautiful sea view, 23 dishes, not all fish, they also include Greek salad, various spreads, pickled vegetables and olives.
Essentially 7 fish dishes (shrimp, squid, a couple of mussels, grilled fish (all by the piece) and fish casserole, squid rings, marinated seals and fried capelin) All cost 23 euros per person. A little cheated with wine, did not add about 250ml.
BEACH:
The pool is open at the hotel until 18.00! ! ! ! ! Municipal beach 5 min. walk, followed by Sands beach (in my opinion the dirtiest after 12 days) in 10 minutes. from the hotel. Nissi beach in exactly 25 minutes. walk not a relaxed step.
For a long time we tried to understand how the tourists of previous reviews arrived in 15 minutes. We did not succeed once))) Neither on the path along the sea, nor on Nissi Avenue. 25 minutes and point)) Nissi beach itself is very beautiful, but until 11 o'clock in the afternoon. At 10 it is already very crowded and by 11 it is full of algae and garbage from night parties. Go to a depth of about 100m, sometimes you give up and swim in small things))) but closer to the depth of the people becomes smaller and the water is insanely clean. On the other side of the hotel (by the way, also 25 minutes.
on foot) port and a wide strip of beaches. That's where there is enough space for everyone. So, choose a hotel near the place you want to see. Near the center and parties is the port and wide beaches (by the way, not bad), near Nissi beach - only this beach and the center about 40 minutes. stomp)) Panas is right in the middle between the two. In the morning we stomp on the beach for 25 minutes. and back 25 minutes Lunch in the center 15 minutes and back, in the evening on disco or excursions the same 20 minutes.
))) Healthy complexion and excellent physical shape are provided)))
Excursions:

Took 2 (of course not from the tour operator). Russian excursion offices are located on Nissi Avenue. Took to Jerusalem. Excellent tour (in the office 250 euros, the tour operator 295 !! ) and a walk on the ship Captain Marco. (The tour operator has 35 euros, the travel agency 25 euros, we took directly to the port for 20 euros with lunch!
Do not go to the sea in the morning, the trip starts at 11.15, you swim in the sun for 3 hours (there is usually shade where to hide), the views are interesting only for the first hour, then see nothing in particular, just ride a boat. In my opinion, an hour-long tour for 5 euros (also sold in the port) would be enough. Although the captain is excellent and fed well.
So if you are tired of boring felting on the beach, the ship CAPTAIN MARCO is what you need, and the photos are just great and you swim 2 times in the blue lagoons.
Jerusalem is a wonderful tour, despite the night flights, did not regret more than once. Visas are not put in the passport, you go around all the holy places and the Dead Sea in addition)) Just do not enter the stories of the guide about the fact that the temple does not sell anything. In the temple may not sell, but near the temple directly in the hands poke 3 times cheaper)) First you will be taken to the official shopping center.
There may be worth buying expensive icons and some gold and silver things, there is a choice and the possibility that it is not a fake. But wooden crosses on the front door, candles made of wax and paraffin, magnets, red threads, you can buy right next to the Church of the Nativity in 3 TIMES CHEAPER! ! ! !!
(cross in the shop 10 euros, near the temple - 3, candles a bunch 10 euros, near the temple - 3 exactly the same) Buy the icon of the Virgin of Bethlehem right in the temple, small icons can be bought in the center of 7 dollars. one. In general, it was an unpleasant moment in the tour, and so I really liked everything.
Like everything she wanted to tell. Pleasant rest for all. I will answer the question, write))
