Probably, the review will turn out to be negative, but I want to tell the truth, because there were a lot of dissatisfied vacationers, negative opinions and even people who changed the hotel upon arrival! And the operators stubbornly offer this hotel to Russian tourists.
Crusader is a modest hotel even for 3 stars! More like 2 stars.
Rest in the hotel only Russian, which leaves its mark.
The beach is practically absent, there are only concrete platforms, descent into the sea by stairs. Be careful, because there are a lot of sea urchins in the rocks at the bottom, you should buy special slippers! For people vacationing with small children, the descent will be a problem, usually children like to sit on the sandy shore, play, this is impossible to do here + you need to watch so that the child does not fall off the bridge.

On the left there is a wild beach, there is a descent without a bridge, but there are no umbrellas or sun loungers, on the right there is a paid beach (a sun lounger 2 euros), a descent without a bridge, but the bottom is in stones with hedgehogs. Yes, and the beach there is not clean, deserted and there are only sun loungers pieces 6-7.
The pool is small (1.50m deep), mostly children swim.
The rooms are ordinary, dusty, there is a small closet, a mirror, bedside tables, a TV (furniture and air conditioning are old. The hotel has rooms without balconies and with balconies (for an additional fee), for those without balconies things are dried on the window, uncomfortable. And the balconies are not very clean because of the pigeons.
A lot of mosquitoes! In the evenings, sitting on the street on the territory of the hotel is problematic.
The food is more than modest. There is nothing special to highlight. For breakfast, juice, which cannot be called juice, is water. The rest of the time, there are only a couple of types of dishes. jelly was for dinner.
There is no entertainment in the hotel, except for a slot machine for children and paid billiards (only children play too). It will be boring for children and young people if they spend all the evenings outside the hotel. there is no beach, there is no normal pool in the hotel. Often in the review they write about the location of the hotel, giving it a plus, but it is better to find another hotel located nearby. In general, the whole "life" of Limassol is concentrated on one street and there is a shops, cafes, bars, clubs, etc.
If you want a 3-star hotel corresponding to its category, this is not a Crusader, if you don’t care which hotel to stay in, choose, for example, apartments or another 2-3 star hotel.
Crusader looks dull and untidy, do not spoil the impression of Cyprus by staying in this hotel.
