отличный отель, но нет своих шезлонгов у моря. great hotel, but there are no sun loungers by the sea.

We were limited in funds and were even ready to go to a 2 * hotel. I liked the hotel very much, especially when we flew back and fellow travelers shared their impressions of other hotels, we realized that we were just fabulously lucky. The food was good (half board). I didn’t want to eat at lunch, in extreme cases we went into the room to drink tea at lunch (the kettle was in the room, as well as cups, cutlery, plates, a saucepan). The room had a stove, you can cook food, there was a refrigerator, but there was no microwave. The room is clean, white sheets, white towels smelling of incense. No insects were seen in the room (2nd floor). Towels on the beach are given out for free but on a deposit of 5 euros, which is then given away and every day it can be changed to dry and clean. The Internet is only at the reception, it does not work well in the evening (network overload), but you can always send a short message (you need to take a break from the Internet, as well as from the TV - it was turned on once, looked that there were 2 programs in Russian and turned off).
The sea is nearby, but you can enter it only on an equipped beach. There are sun loungers of a foreign hotel on the beach, but there were few people, the sun loungers were often empty, which we used (no one drove us even once), but you can sit on the sand on a towel.
There were waves all the days, and in the bay there was calm, where even very small children swam. For thrills, you can walk for about 15 minutes and get to the city sandy beach with waves (sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, each for 2.5 euros). A good sandy entry into the sea, and only after 30 meters the depth is up to the throat, and sand is everywhere under your feet, so you can jump on the waves.

In some hotels there are no bays like it was near ours, so people swam in the pools! And it’s very good that you don’t have to cross the road from the hotel (quite a problem, especially considering that the left-hand traffic is quite busy). Car rental at every turn. There are also enough minimarkets, but the prices are certainly not for the Russians (bread 2.5 euros, cottage cheese 250g-4 euros, juice 1l-1.6 euros). It is better to look at souvenirs in Paphos at the port (by bus from the hotel 20 minutes to the final one, the ticket is 1.5 euros), oddly enough you can find very inexpensive ones (cheaper than near the hotel). Don't take the glass bottom boat tour (small) in the port. There is nothing to see at the bottom, it shakes a lot, and the promised sunken ships are two or three fragments - pieces of iron, if you have time to look. Excursions from the tour operator are expensive (and the guide is not always interesting), and they are also brought to different stores, where they give more time than the most interesting sights, but after leaving the hotel and going to the right along the houses, you can find a tour company with a Russian-speaking girl who will offer excursions with a Russian guide cheaper.
In general, we liked EVERYTHING for our money. There wasn't much to do, but it was enough for us! The staff is friendly, everyone speaks a little bit of Russian. The hotel was 85% Russian, but it was very quiet and calm (in neighboring hotels, the British bawled songs until late). I advise everyone.
