We stayed in this hotel as a couple. First time in Cyprus. Before that they were in Turkey and Egypt. Tour operator - Biblioglobus. There are no complaints about him.
The hotel was chosen by ourselves, when there was nothing to choose from. 2 weeks before the start of the holiday. It is better to choose in advance. What do you lose 2 days. Because almost everyone arrived in the evening. And flew home in the morning. In Cyprus, all hotels are small, and the rooms are concentrated mainly in one building. The beaches are all municipal. The sand is gray, but fine and soft, it is leveled and moistened in the evenings. The sea is warm, and there are no big waves, so there are breakwaters not far from the coast. The water is sooo salty, so sometimes there is only one kind of small gray fish. . Posidonia is located very conveniently, there is a lawn behind the hotel on the shore, there are sun loungers and umbrellas. Basically, there was enough for everyone. True, as elsewhere, there are people, a cat. occupy sun loungers in the evening, or in the morning, while they themselves are still sleeping. Behind the lawn there is an asphalt path that stretches along the entire coast, and behind it begins the municipal beach. Sun loungers and umbrellas that stand on the very shore are paid, 2-2.5 euros per day (one item). There is a lot of jogging on this footpath. I run and run. So if you like to run, take your running shoes and go along the coast, it's very convenient. At what they run at any time of the day.
The hotel area is small, like all hotels in Limassol. Greenery is practically absent, a few palm trees that are half wilted, pine trees and that's it. No flowers, no bushes. Water only the grass in the evening, on the cat. there are sun loungers. The hotel is very mediocre. No frills. 3 statues of Poseidon, Aphrodite and a panel of Poseidon on the wall in the hall and that's it. Nothing more about Poseidon. Swimming pool 1 (from 1.3 to 3 meters plus, at an angle). And one more children's, absolutely for crumbs. puddle. Swimming pool without lighting. Very sorry. Animation is very weak. In the morning there is gymnastics, water aerobics. Sometimes children play during the day. And in the evening 1 time. And every evening (except Sunday - day off) - "party" by the pool. Nobody is dancing. German pensioners drink at their tables. (They make up almost the entire contingent of the hotel). If you are young and want to have fun, then you need to go somewhere else.

The room is small and old. Carry your suitcases to your room yourself, no one will guide you. Air conditioning, hair dryer, TV (1 Russian channel) are present. The air conditioner turned on by itself as soon as we close both doors to the balcony. The temperature can be set. Choose a higher floor, it's quieter there. If the balcony faces the street, then it is better to sleep with a closed balcony, there are countless cars and motorcycles on the street. The door absorbs noise well. (Numbers even - on the sea, odd - on the street). They cleaned up well. Changed towels every day. The most modern thing in the room is the toilet)))))) Marble, large, with a bidet and a bathtub.
You can call home by buying a card. There is a payphone in the hotel, behind the reception, and there is also on the street, as you leave the hotel to the left, right next to it. The card is sold in all stores. 5 euros. It is better to go to the store on the right, right behind the gas station. It's cheaper there, and everything is available in small quantities. And olive oil, and souvenirs, and Cypriot wine, and spirits, fruits, nuts, chips. Everything. As you cross the road, remember to look first to the right and then to the left. There is left-hand traffic.
Food. You won't leave hungry for sure. But there is not much abundance either. Breakfast is like everywhere else. And dinner takes place in a restaurant, with a bunch of appliances, white tablecloths, if only unobtrusive music was turned on... And that is, in silence, only the ringing of appliances...... If someone has breakfast-dinner meals, then at dinner everyone drinks are paid.
Excursions are all interesting, it is comfortable to go everywhere. All buses, shops with air conditioning. In general, you can write endlessly, you won’t remember everything at once. There will be questions - write, I will answer with pleasure)))))).
