We went to Arsinoe on the advice of the children, they were there 2 months before us. It turned out - they did not lose. The location of the hotel is very good, right in front of the municipal beach, just cross the road. Everyone wears bathing suits and swimming trunks, a very democratic atmosphere. The rooms are small but clean, the air conditioner is free, it works powerfully, it is always cool. Cleaning daily, Russian-speaking cleaners, for some reason a lot of Georgians. They will always explain how to get there and what to see. The food is very tasty and varied, breakfast: omelettes, sausages, fried bacon, yogurt, fruits, vegetables, milk, coffee, tea, juices. The dishes are clean, there is enough food for everyone, no need to run to 7 in the morning, and at 9 everything is full. Dinners are generally chic, a lot of meat and fish hot dishes, almost every day at dinner they dance with glasses on their heads or just beautiful national dances, unobtrusively, but Russian thugs always go out in a circle and dance with the artists together, they accept them very friendly. The pool is not bad, but we never went, we didn’t go for that, we are at the sea. We took half board, it’s enough, because the breakfast is hearty, and during the day you don’t feel like eating, but at 19 o’clock - an excellent dinner. In addition, during the day we constantly drove around Cyprus by car. Rented from our hotel guide, in offices near the hotel you can get a little cheaper. We ordered a Matiz with air conditioning and an automatic (in Cyprus, left-hand traffic is a legacy from the long English occupation, and it’s hard to drive a car with a handle, even for an experienced driver - you need to shift gears with your LEFT hand). Paid for 5 days at 48 euros per day. But the Matizs ran out, and for the SAME MONEY we were driven to the hotel by a car 2 classes higher - a Honda Civic with a gun and an air conditioner. How much we traveled on it, do not convey. The whole of Cyprus is about 250 km long, and we have driven over a thousand! Were in the monasteries: Kykkos, Machairas, St. Thekla, St. George and many others. We went to Larnaca, Paphos. Together with the car, they give a very clear road map, where there are all the sights. At gas stations, you don’t need to know anything - you give how much euro you need to the gas station attendant, he puts them into the filling machine himself, and he pours gasoline for this money. Car parking directly under the hotel. It’s safe to leave, the locals don’t even lift the windows. No one will steal - Cyprus is an island, and a small one at that))). Rental cars have red license plates, so local drivers and policemen treat our "dummies" with understanding. Well, let's talk about the hotel. Every evening in the meeting hall of the hotel guide (ours was from the Biblio-Globus), excursions and car rentals are ordered from him. We didn’t take excursions, because we like to see everything ourselves, and it’s cheaper. The TV is decent, the bathroom has a bathtub. Generally clean and comfortable. Sometimes locals in the restaurant arrange a wedding or an anniversary, then it can be noisy. The staff at the reception in Russian is not boom-boom, but they will always understand, at least they will explain on the fingers, they are friendly. There are many taverns near the hotel. It is worth trying meze - a national meat dish of different meats, 25-30 euros, enough for three or four, the wine is very cheap and tasty. Simple dry wine in stores in bags like our juice - 1.5 - 2 euros per liter, you can drink all day instead of water, if not driving. In general, this hotel is worth going for the money that is asked for it. Don't guess!
