Незабываемые впечатления от отдыха на Кипре! Unforgettable impressions of holidays in Cyprus!

We rested with the whole family in Cyprus for the first time: my husband and I and two children (one 4, the other 8.5). We chose Paphos, although they say that Ayia Napa is suitable for a family vacation with its beaches, but the stories about loud-voiced youth were somewhat embarrassing. It was important that there be a minimum of headaches about feeding children and entertainment. After a long choice, we settled on Aliathon Holiday Village, and I think we did not fail even once. These are 4 "villages" of buildings with a huge territory. Here is the largest swimming pool in Cyprus, beach type, with its own lighthouse (which the employees are proud of as a local landmark). Large children's club with a varied animation program. There is a small water park, various climbing frames for children, a huge area where you can walk. The restaurant deserves special attention - everything seems to be simple, but the products are always fresh, prepared tasty and varied.
And you have vegetables and snacks / canapes / all sorts of cuts, and hot meat and fish dishes, and a lot of fruits (not only watermelons and apples, as usual, - and fresh cuts, and ready-made salads - season with yogurt - and in general it’s a pleasure! ) , desserts are uncomplicated, but tasty (I liked panna cotta very much and chocolate brownies). Drinks by automatic dispensers - tea/coffee soda/sweet soda/beer/wine. Well, it's over if you are all-inclusive. If not, then please, when checking in, they give guests flyers with a discount - there are several restaurants (Italian, Mexican, Japanese cuisine) within walking distance from the hotel, as far as I understand, they “belong” to the hotel, or maybe they just cooperate with them. Near the pool with a lighthouse pizza-station - a snack is provided if you suddenly get hungry. It is also not far from the sea - cross the road and walk 150 meters on foot - 7-10 minutes. We were not lazy and after breakfast, while it was not hot, we went to the beach.
During the day, children can sleep and play - there are many entertainments in the hotel, and there are enough places with a shade. We went for 10 days, we didn’t want to sit in the hotel without getting out, so we still went on one trip with the children (long, it’s over, not for us yet, the road is hard for the youngest) - Pirate Cruise. The pirate Black Pearl is moored from Paphos and sails to the sea caves and grottoes. The trip was a joy for children - pirate paraphernalia, painted faces and noisy games on the ship pleased everyone, young and old. Yes, and my husband and I were not bored. And they bought, and played, and it did not last long (at 11:20 they left the hotel, at 16:45 they returned). Even for an evening walk for ice cream, there was still enough strength!


So, our vacation was excellent, we were very pleased with the hotel, the staff was friendly and hospitable.
