We rested in Aquasol from May 26 to June 9.2010. I'll start in order. They flew great. FROM Larnaca we drove 2:30 hours (almost like on a plane). Upon arrival at the hotel, we went to our apartments, which resembled a room in a Crimean health resort: shabby furniture, a peeled stove. But I decided that it was not scary - in the room only to spend the night. Then we went to a restaurant, where an unpleasant surprise awaited us - we were struck by the choice of dishes, or rather its absence. But we were not too upset, because we came to enjoy the sea. Having a bite to eat with what GOD sent, we ran to the beach, and here the biggest disappointment awaited us. At the place where the beach should be, we found blocks of stones, garbage and the absence of any opportunity to go down to the sea (photo of the beach is attached). At that moment, my eyes filled with tears, and I firmly decided that we would not stay in this hotel. We got through to the representative of Biblio-Globus in Cyprus, explaining that we want to change the hotel. To which she replied: "Contact your travel agency in Moscow. " We called Russia, and there, after some deliberation, we were told that the issue of our resettlement would be resolved on the spot. "It will be both faster and cheaper, " they answered us. As a result, after 4 days we were informed that for the remaining 10 days we have to pay 1230 euros. While in Moscow for 15 days the difference in the same hotel was 18 thousand rubles, that is, less than 500 euros. Moreover, the price included a fine to the hotel "Aquasol" (the cost of living for 3 days). After much torment, we reconciled ourselves and stayed at the hotel. We went to the beach in Coral Bay, while spending 2 hours a day on the road (30 minutes one way, because we were on an all-inclusive vacation, we went for lunch) and 7.5 euros for sunbeds and umbrella. The beach there is good, but 2 hours of walking in the sweltering heat is a very difficult test. I asked the representative of the Biblio-Globus in Cyprus, which, by the way, we saw only once (the rest of the time we talked on the phone) if the Moscow tour operator could not have known about the lack of a beach in this hotel. She replied that the tour operator was definitely in the know, that is, he deliberately misled, in other words, deceived. Thanks to the Biblio-globe, our family lost the desire to relax in Cyprus forever.
