Кипр на Рождество Cyprus at Christmas

Conveniently located, first line, there is an indoor heated pool (which is important for winter), several outdoor pools, a tennis court, a gym, a hairdresser, shops. The room is rather big (double), loggia, TV - 3 Russian channels, minibar, telephone, internet in the room (expensive), condo, in general there is everything that is necessary for 4 *. There are rooms for smokers, you can also smoke on the loggia, in the bar by the pools, at the main entrance - there are ashtrays everywhere (who cares).
I especially liked the restaurant: a very rich selection of dishes, every evening a different cuisine - Italian, Greek, Indian, etc. December 25 was a Christmas dinner, I liked it very much. We took breakfast and dinner. One day we were almost late for dinner, we came for 5 minutes before the end. But nevertheless, the waiters were extremely kind, they seated us comfortably and tried not to disturb us, they didn’t run past, cleaning the dishes, etc. They even asked if we wanted to take something else, if they could take it away. Drinks at dinner naturally for a fee.
The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas and New Year, Christmas trees, garlands, all kinds of compositions are everywhere. Animation was present - every evening they played Russian loto, there was something for children in a separate room, there was live music. Everything was in English.

There were only a few Russian-speakers during this period, but judging by the detailed announcements in Russian, apparently there are enough. For example, an announcement at the entrance to a restaurant. In English: "Please follow the minimum dress code. " In English: The same, but with a detailed description of what not to wear - shorts, Bermuda shorts, T-shirts, wet (! ) swimsuits, etc.
Two words about Limassol: a lot of Russian speakers, out of 10 sellers in stores, 6-7 speak Russian. On the main street there is a big Christmas tree, a market, the city is decorated, there are lights all around. The temperature was 20-21 degrees, during the day you can safely walk in a T-shirt, in the evening you need a sweater or jacket. We didn’t dare to swim in the sea, only in the indoor pool. But in general, even in winter you can have a great rest in Cyprus - it's just St. Petersburg summer.
It is a pity that the trip was business and little was seen.
