Прекрасный, но короткий отдых. Lovely but short stay.

In 2006, St. Raphael was one of the few all-inclusive hotels. This is one of the "+" hotel, because. drinks and food in Cyprus are not cheap. The hotel is large, the room is clean, the service is excellent (there is a couple of Russian speakers at the reception), the food is varied, (7 days - 7 menus in the evening, then repeat, but there are three restaurants on the territory of the hotel and you have the opportunity to choose, during the day you can dine in a barbecue bar , but breakfast will be repeated, one thing is good, a large selection, but there will be no fresh juices). W
and 14 days no complaints, except for the settlement, it is always delayed, for example, we were waiting for settlement 5 !! ! Hours (and each time they said wait an hour, half an hour... but they apologized and delivered a large basket of fruits and wine to the room), but after that, fortunately, no negative impressions. There is animation, but only in English, although in order to play volleyball, a strong knowledge of English. and not required : ). A small but well-groomed green area, with a playground and a mini-mini water park (one slide), three pools, a warm and clear sea with two trampolines and a slide for water climbers.
The beach, municipal, paid for everyone except the "residents" of the hotel (take towels on site, they are huge and new and then they won't even come to you to inquire about payment). Clean, it is cleaned every day, and a thorough cleaning takes place twice or thrice a week, and then all the trestle beds are removed. The only small minus is that the trestle beds next to a stationary umbrella need to be occupied early in the morning - then everything will be busy, and you won’t last long in direct hot sun and very hot sand, the same problem is near the pools. I summarize - the hotel is a solid 4+, minus for the settlement and a small territory, if I get to Cyprus again, I will go to this hotel. Have a good rest!
