Dear compatriots, I hope this little review will help you decide. In addition to a very good beach, there is nothing amazing either on the territory of the hotel or in its vicinity. Separate "FI" about the complete disregard for Russian children and parents by English animation - consider our children are strangers here, even if they speak a little "their" language.

We were in Cyprus in June 2011. I liked everything very much, a wonderful, large territory (this is rare in Cyprus), a lot of greenery and flowers. A very good beach (which is sandy), the second one with a stone bottom (an amateur, but you can see crabs, shrimps and octopuses on it). It cannot be compared with the famous NESSI BEACH (on which iron sun loungers chained to each other, square bottles, glasses, even condoms are scattered all over the beach).

The sea is clean and transparent. There are a lot of sunbeds and you don't have to run at 7 in the morning and take them, you can find a free one at any time. The food is good, just enough, varied, there is a children's menu. I really liked the animation, but the fact that it is in English, so, comrades, learn English (we don’t want to do anything ourselves, but the whole world must learn Russian so that we feel good). Asurd!! !

The most annoying thing is that we chose this hotel ourselves, focusing on advertising descriptions in travel agencies and the Internet, moreover, we know Cyprus well and lived in different hotels. Therefore, we are doubly offended that we have to spend our holidays here. Standard rooms are small. On the very first morning we paid extra to move to the family.

Therefore, we are doubly offended that we have to spend our holidays here. Standard rooms are small. On the very first morning we paid extra to move to the family. The room has a safe, a small refrigerator, internet, but all for extra. payment (internet 50 euros per week and slow-slow and flies all the time). The food is disgusting! Kill this chef!! ! There are very few and bad fruits, the pastries are monotonous and lousy. At dinner, they gave some kind of white putty for dessert, it is written that the Cypriot dish (we are in Cyprus for the seventh time and this inscription did not scare us away). We tried. Nightmare! Toilet soap! The chairs in the restaurant are heavily polluted with birds. Hair occasionally comes across in food. Children's animation is in English and is designed for 2-6 year olds. Our 10-year-old daughter was simply driven off the stage, and then we ourselves stopped letting her go there. As a result, we are disappointed, the child is upset and asks to go to the hotel where we rested before.

June 2009 Cyprus, Ayia Napa. The Dome Hotel.
Rested with family 2+2. I’ll immediately dot the I: we are a family of travelers, we have already been to many countries, we are looking for only positive impressions from the rest.
So let's go. Before the trip, I combed the entire Internet in search of a suitable vacation spot in Cyprus. The place got out very quickly - Ayia Napa. The best beaches (white sand), the cleanest sea (there are no ports nearby, as in Larnaca and Limassol), the least Russian (Limassol is a city of Russians, for the future). Already resting, we learned that it is even better to relax in Protaras, there are no Russians at all and the cleanest of all (given that the whole of Cyprus is a big garbage dump, the cleanliness of the resting place decides a lot). When choosing a hotel, I proceeded from the principle - fewer Russians (I thought that the service would be better), a quiet place (because the whole of Ayia Napa is a continuous disco), the presence of a good beach. Chose The Dome, 4 stars.
Hotel. The price is… big. We opted for all inclusive due to the presence of children. This year the hotel has changed the owner, so you can not read the reviews of previous years !! ! The hotel is old and shabby. The rooms have old furniture, gnawed carpets, and towels... oh, especially beach ones. The paint is peeling off the walls, the refrigerators are leaking (some had leaking plumbing), the ants walk around the room in orderly rows (advice - pour The Dome shampoo on their path, which will be put in the bath, my ants were gone by the evening! ). Room cleaning only upon arrival. Because during our stay in the room, in my opinion, they only folded (not changed) towels, and wiped the entrance with a rag. But the cleaning lady of our room drank our whiskey and ate my Swiss chocolate!! ! This was not the case with us anywhere! Going to the reception and complaining is useless. The hotel manager did not hear the Russian-speaking Lithuanian Iolanta at close range and only waved his hands (the girl was young, we felt sorry for her), and he pretended not to understand our English. But since I didn’t want to wag my nerves on vacation, then we even scored on my eaten chocolates (that is, we quickly ate and washed down the rest of the whiskey to the chagrin of the cleaning lady).
Pools. There are two in the hotel. They are not cleaned at all! When someone pooped into one pool, which is bigger (I’m not joking and not imagining it), an uncle came into the pool, kicked everyone out of the water and... poured a huge bucket of bleach, saying that after 2 hours you can swim again (in it none of the witnesses of this purge bathed for 2-3 days). In another pool, which is smaller, i. e. for children, leaving the beach, the locals washed themselves and caressed their clothes (we were told that they had a problem with water and this is normal! ). Oil painting: Saturday-Sunday, all foreigners with children stand around the pool and watch how the entire local village bathes there (thank God that Russian children are not drawn to the pool, for us the main thing is still the sea). To the complaints of foreigners, the hotel administration said that the Cypriots are an endangered nation and everything is possible for them. You understand, the hotel is not guarded, anyone can enter there for any problem, rejoice if the local does not knock on your room and ask to use the toilet!
Sea. There are two beaches in the hotel: own, where you can only sunbathe, because. it is problematic to go into the sea because of the blocks, and municipal, with gorgeous white sand and clear water. About the municipality. As people resting in this hotel told us for more than a year, this is one of the best beaches in Cyprus. Therefore, on weekends, many Cypriots with the whole family and all the grub go here. They go to rest, which means 4/5 of the beach is theirs (they will simply trample you there, shower you with grub that they don’t clean up after themselves, beat you with a volleyball sword or simply lie at your feet, because it is vital for them on this square centimeter of the beach put your ass down! ) You are left with 1/5 of the beach (as you enter the beach immediately to the left and to the end), though the entrance to the water is worse there. The remaining 5 days a week you can swim on the entire beach. Conclusion: PLAN ALL EXCURSIONS TO THE MAXIMUM ON THE WEEKEND! The fee for a sunbed or umbrella is 2.5 euros. There are also water sports: catamarans, scooters, surfers, bananas, etc.
Restaurants. Main big one for breakfast, lunch, dinner and 2 small ones by the pools. On the street, all the drinks in restaurants are poured into dirty plastic glasses (they are so old, dirty and cracked that my little son at first refused to drink from them! ) All bartenders understand Russian, because. they are from Slovakia (let them not play the fool in front of you).
The food. . . It's ok if you don't play gourmet. The breakfasts are the same. Lunch - a mix of dishes left over from dinner. Dinner is something edible. Don't take all inclusive. Calculated by RussiansJ: 2 weeks for two costs 800 euros cheaper if you take only breakfast, and then you buy food for lunch and dinner in the same hotel restaurant!! ! Fruits - watermelon, melon, apples, bananas, oranges, apricots.
Animation. She is. Our family was not interested in daytime animation, and in the evening we had to sit at a children's disco (as in all hotels). Disco for children is only in English and German, since our children rummage in English.
Excursions. To be honest, there is nothing to see in Cyprus. Only the sea and everything connected with it: cruises, boat trips, yachting, diving, fishing. We went to Paphos, swam in the place where Aphrodite came out, looked at the amphitheater, drove into the castle... NOTHING, a tour sucked from the finger! They tried to drag us to the monastery, to the local village, it’s good that they didn’t fall for it. We went, stupidly, to the singing fountains. This is generally amateur performance for Russians, don't be fooled! After that, we decided to score on excursions and do only the sea. True, they agreed to a cruise to Egypt. I liked it very much.
SEA!! ! Class! Awesome!
Will I go to Cyprus again? Yes! But only now I will rent a luxurious villa by the sea (which all vacationers do from the second visit). I'll save a lot of money, not stress at all, and I'll swim and swim and swim.

Out of season, and therefore there were no Russians at all, some Germans, mostly over 50. There were no young people at all, mostly families. Although Ayia Napa is considered a youth resort, I don’t know, maybe yes in the season. There are no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel, so those who have problems with English or German are hard to explain for half an hour.

Out of season, and therefore there were no Russians at all, some Germans, mostly over 50. There were no young people at all, mostly families. Although Ayia Napa is considered a youth resort, I don’t know, maybe yes in the season. There are no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel, so those who have problems with English or German are hard to explain for half an hour. The service staff is not bad, everyone smiles at you, they say "good early" in the morning. There is only one female waitress Maria (the rest of the waiters are men) who remembers your whims from the first day of your stay. Head damn cool guy. Only one bartender let us down. He is already aged and we wondered how they still keep such a stupid person in a hotel, probably someone's relative. He apparently does not like Russians very much, some unfaithful Russian soul in a drunken stupor got to the bottom of him. When he found out that we were Russians, he immediately began to sing the song "I am a lublu loaf, I am a lublu loaf". What fool taught him that phrase.
In general, the hotel is not bad, especially for those who are the first time abroad. You definitely won't be disappointed. We had all inclusive and we had a great time there. Food is constant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at a certain time, and between them in the dining room from early morning until late at night, and maybe at night (did not check), hot snacks. Hungry at any time went and had a snack. And we ate there, ate and ate (there is always hunting in nature). And when they arrived home, after weighing themselves, they gasped, then in recent days, the clothes have become cramped.
Another thing we used for free is a tennis court, ping-pong, a gym, though it’s hard to call it a hall, but there were 3-4 simulators and a treadmill, by the way, quite decent, electric. You have to pay for the rest, by the way, you also need to pay 1 pound per day for a safe in the room, which is a surprise for some at the end of the holiday.
You can rent a car. It's certainly not cheap, but it's worth it. You can take a smaller and more economical car, in the sense of gasoline, but then you will travel around the entire island yourself, you will not depend on anyone, where you want to go and go, and they went with their excursions, they are painfully expensive. You just need to find out in advance where you can go. And if you also came to rest with a company, let's say 2-3 couples, then it's even more profitable. It is better to take a car for a few days, the longer, the cheaper the rental.
It is better to change money in the city itself, at the hotel and with the guide, the exchange rate is less favorable. In Ayia Napa, about shopping tube, one is China. And this China is 3 times more expensive than ours. Therefore, if you rent a car, then in a non-resort area you can find decent branded things. And more about medical insurance. Be sure to take insurance, God forbid something happens, medicine is expensive there. And so it is worth making a phone call and in 10-20 minutes you will have a doctor in your room. Well, that's probably all, otherwise you can write a lot more.
In general, the hotel is not bad, especially for those who are the first time abroad. You definitely won't be disappointed. We had all inclusive and we had a great time there. Food is constant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at a certain time, and between them in the dining room from early morning until late at night, and maybe at night (did not check), hot snacks. Hungry at any time went and had a snack. And we ate there, ate and ate (there is always hunting in nature). And when they arrived home, after weighing themselves, they gasped, then in recent days, the clothes have become cramped.
Another thing we used for free is a tennis court, ping-pong, a gym, though it’s hard to call it a hall, but there were 3-4 simulators and a treadmill, by the way, quite decent, electric. You have to pay for the rest, by the way, you also need to pay 1 pound per day for a safe in the room, which is a surprise for some at the end of the holiday.

In general, not bad, the food and service were absolutely satisfactory (except for a few episodes during the evening meal, when the waiters served for a VERY long time, but just then they changed the head waiter). About the beaches. One of them is much worse and smaller than the second (some kind of large dirty-colored sand).

In general, not bad, the food and service were absolutely satisfactory (except for a few episodes during the evening meal, when the waiters served for a VERY long time, but just then they changed the head waiter). About the beaches. One of them is much worse and smaller than the second (some kind of large dirty-colored sand). Walking to a good beach is not so far - 7 minutes, but in the heat, and even with a child, it's not a thrill. But we walked. The hotel is far from the city (10 minutes by bus to the center, but another 10 minutes to the bus stop). But we walked to the water park (20-25 minutes at a fast pace).
The hotel is clean, the territory too, everything is green and pleasant, the air conditioners work almost flawlessly, the staff is helpful and quick-witted. What got it was the noise of some kind of units when you go out in the room (in the main building) to the balcony. No romance on a starry evening, mln. Moved to a room further away - little sense. There is no kids club there. There is a little room in some kind of mini-hangar on the street, called a kids club, but there was nothing interesting for children there. But there is a good playground, under an awning.
In general, we needed a secluded vacation in the bosom of nature with a child, a beach with fine sand, a warm sea, a water park and delicious food - we got it. If there was no noise from the units, it would be 100% what we wanted. All other shortcomings mentioned did not matter to us.
