I want to write my review about this complex, taking into account the fact that this complex of apartments and villas is for those who are used to traveling around Europe freely, organizing their leisure time on their own. For those who are accustomed to "vegetable holidays" in Turkey and Egypt such as beach-hotel-beach-discotheques, I can immediately say this complex is not for you. I'll start in order:
1. The complex is located on a mountain, 10 km from the sea and the city of Paphos. By transport it is 7-10 minutes drive. Walking is unrealistic. For us, this is a huge plus. The hotel bus transports 1 time a day for free, you must first sign up for which of the beaches you would like to go and get coupons, the bus takes you to the beach from 9 to 12 and from 15 to 18. In the evening, the bus takes you to the city center for a fee of 2 euros and 23 pm takes back. It takes 10-15 minutes to get to the city center by bus. Remoteness has a huge plus in the form of silence, tranquility and huge space both in the apartments and on the territory. We rented a car at the reception and did not know any problems with movement, the roads and traffic organization are very accessible and safe, and the fact that the traffic in Cyprus is left-handed is not a problem, you quickly get used to it in a couple of hours, you just need to always follow the rule "keep on left" and that's it.
2. The complex of villas and buildings is new, we lived in the "Flora house" building. The apartments are all the same area of ​ ​.105 sq. m. The kitchen is fully equipped, what is called "from bandage to cotton wool", all appliances are brand new: refrigerator, sensor stove, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, microwave. kettle, etc. "Kitchen utensils are all available, even a cheese cutter is available. Cleaning is done every 4 days of arrival. Sonya (cleaning lady) well done licks everything, including dishes in the kitchen. There is an elevator in the building of 3 floors, it works. On floor 3 apartments, but for our entire vacation there were only 2 apartments inhabited. There is only one TV in the living room (large 106 cm), modern, we knew that there were no Russian channels. so we threw films on the flash drive at home, stuck it into the TV set during the day or in the evening, although Dividi is standing nearby, straightening the sofa, by the way, the mattresses are excellent Italian, orthopedic everywhere, and for the vacation we looked at what we had long wanted.

3. The food suited us very well. Breakfast is always the same. Fried eggs, fried bacon, by the way, very tasty, fried and fresh halloumi cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, stewed beans, cereals, milk 1.5% and 3.5% fat, ham, sausage of normal quality like ours, coffee boiled in the machine , not Nescafe, natural juices not like "UPPI", toasts, jams, etc. The main thing is everything is fresh, there has never been "yesterday". Dinners are amazing, as in all of Europe you will not find variety in 100 dishes where one is made from another. This is usually: vegetable salad with shrimp, a la Greek salad, lettuce and cabbage and radish, baked potatoes or some vegetables for garnish, pork in any version, or it’s grilled chops or it’s large pieces in sauce, it's a chicken. either shish kebab or grill, lamb was offered every other day, also different parts of the carcass, usually grilled, once a week squid in batter, once every two days fish, and decent varieties. Definitely watermelon, melon and oranges. Drinks at dinner are paid but inexpensive, we really liked the cocktails at the bar, all at a price of 3.9 euros. Beer from 1.9 to 3 euros, wine 9 euros a bottle. Nobody keeps track of how much you ate. Since there is not much space for people, there are no queues. One of the days we had a birthday, we asked to arrange a table for us, the waiter Dima did a good job, they did everything for us and arranged a disco in the evening in the restaurant, while it didn’t cost us anything, that is, everything, please, for the guests. From entertainment, a musician (Russian) comes once a week in the evening, plays the instruments perfectly and sings wonderfully, but there is no Leps in his repertoire, and even more so Mikhailov, but the repertoire is wonderful, he sings to order. We had a wonderful evening with his performance by Kuzmin, Serov, Rosenbaum, gr. Degree when alternating foreign classics with light cocktails from the bar.
4. We did not observe any noise from construction sites, the silence is awesome. But we knew very well where we were going, there were plenty of reviews on foreign sites, so we got exactly what we wanted and even more, the manager Dionis (who speaks very good Russian) responded quickly to all our requests. But many people who come and swear very loudly require special treatment. I don't know who goes to this club for what money. We paid 50 thousand rubles for 12 days with a flight from Perm. And I think that this holiday pays for this amount. There was a man with a family of 3 with us from our city, so they generally paid 60 thousand rubles at a burning price, but every day he walked and cursed, always demanded something, you just need to clearly understand the place where you are going .
5. About car rental: we went to the city, found out the prices, so it’s 2-3 euros cheaper than at the reception, but they require a deposit or money or a document, but the hotel doesn’t require anything and the car is brought to the hotel and picked up from the reception, we left the keys at the reception in the evening, in the morning they took the car themselves, very convenient. At prices Nissan micro 1.2 m3.22-24 euros (automatic) mechanics are cheaper, Mitsubishi Colt 1.4 liters. from 28 euros, but you can bargain for 24 euros (we did this), cars with a volume of 1.6 m3. from 28 euros, Kashkoy and other SUVs 2.0 m3 from 60 euros. but if you rent a car for more than 5 days, the prices are reduced by 4-5 euros per day. The cost of gasoline-95 is 1.38 euros per liter. Four of us took a Colt for 5 days, went to Lara Beach, a wonderful beach 18 km away. from Coral Bay, to Limassol we went 70 km. from Paphos, we went to the baths of Aphrodite in Latchi, 35 km. from Paphos, in the Paphos area, we rode, so we only spent 45 euros on gasoline.
In conclusion, I want to repeat once again that this club is very good for those who love silence, independence and comfort. Rest a la Turkey is not in this club.
