We went to Eleni in late June-early July. Thanks to the tour operator for the direct charter from Kyiv to Paphos. But they should reconsider the air carrier. The plane was born in 1983, frankly, it was scary to fly.

The hotel did not please us with an early check-in: we arrived at 11, settled at 2. However, they immediately put on bracelets so that we could have lunch at 12. A trifle, but nice.


Dali Studio in building 14. In the room, especially in the bathroom, there is some strange smell, it smells of dampness or something. There is no ventilation in the bathroom itself, after taking a shower you have to open the door so that you have something to breathe. The furniture is "tired", but there is a refrigerator, stove, dishes, appliances. There is no water in the refrigerator. Detergents for dishes - too, the maid does not wash it in principle. At first they gave blue, fairly shabby towels. After 2 days, the maid saw that we did not take towels to the sea, and began to bring new, white ones. Bed linen is clean but a little worn.
There is a safe in the room, but in order to use it, you need to take the key to the reception. Deposit - 10 euros, plus for use - about 1.7 euros per day.

Now for the positive. The service at the hotel is excellent. The manager of the main restaurant, Stavros, is a very open, pleasant person. The waiters are friendly and know their stuff. The food is varied, excellent vegetables, soups, meat. I don't eat salads and pasta, so I can't say anything about them. The choice of fruits is limited: apples, oranges, melons and watermelons. At the bar near the pool during the day they prepare decent snacks, sandwiches, hamburgers, salads. Juicy, crispy bacon was served for breakfast until the main wave of Russians arrived. After that, the bacon was replaced with sausage cut into flats.

The main contingent of vacationers is the British, almost everything is tailored for them. They behave quietly, as a rule, sunbathe by the pool from morning to evening.

You need to go to the sea, 5-7 minutes. the nearest beach is small.
It is considered sandy, but in fact it is a microscopic pebble : ) The entrance is on the rocks, they are a bit slippery. In the middle - a ladder for a normal entry. For several days the sea was stormy, the breakwaters helped, but not really. There are many Slavic brothers, so be mentally prepared for cigarette butts, peach pits and other rubbish, which is difficult to carry 2 meters to the trash can.

A municipal bus runs every 15 minutes to the city. 1.5 euros one way. For 5 euros you can take a travel card for a day, for 15 - for a week. The Archaeological Park and the Tombs of the Kings, the embankment, the port - everything is nearby, some 15 minutes drive.

In general, the trip was not bad. If you do not look for flaws and do not find fault with trifles, the hotel is good, especially in terms of price-quality ratio.
