I'll start from the beginning. I was in Turkey, Egypt, Montenegro, Croatia, Vietnam, Poland, etc. , I have an idea about hotels and operators. We went with the operator Natalie Tour. People bypass this operator. After meeting at Larnaca airport, we sat for 40 minutes in a bus without air conditioning in the heat of 40 degrees, while waiting for a stale and all wet guide Andrey said that we would drive for about 3 hours to Paphos and still without air conditioning. He also offered to listen to a fascinating story about Cyprus and turned on a tape recorder with not very high-quality sound. I saw everything, but excursions with a phonogram... ? On the floor of the road, Andrey announced a parking lot for 15 minutes. and disappeared, then we drove with a driver who did not speak Russian, who took everyone to the hotels. He brought us to Venus Beach 5, without stopping at the hotel, dropped us off on the opposite side of the road and myf with things without a pedestrian crossing under the horns of cars went to the hotel. We were 2 couples on our honeymoon. At the hotel we were forced to write down "Soviet circulars" and sent to our rooms. There was no hint of a honeymoon at the hotel. The meeting with the hotel guide Elena was scheduled for the next day at 10-00. The question is, what for a hotel guide for me after I myself have mastered in a day where is the restaurant, where is the beach, etc. ? Why the hell should I spend another roughly half a day on a meeting with a guide, and so an expensive and short rest? but we went. Guide Elena, instead of greeting, immediately said that the most important thing is the departure (I realized that she was not interested in anything other than our departure). And we saw Elena in the middle of the trip even out of the corner of our eye once when setting off on an excursion. The problem asks why does a tour operator need a hotel guide? Probably for a free rest at our expense.
The hotel room is rather sparse, with leaky curtains, a sea of ​ ​ dust and a Soviet-style bathroom (but there was a bidet with the faucet turned out). I was surprised by the Telefunken TV, my peer with a non-working remote control and turning on and off without human intervention. They replaced it on the 5th day after a light scandal. They cleaned every day, if you can call it cleaning (the mop gently ran around the slippers lying on the floor, and didn’t even look under the bed, and you can paint there). Slippers, bathrobes are issued only in superior rooms (and this is in 5 stars). In general, if we talk about the stars, then the hotel is equal to Turkish or Egyptian 3 stars, although they say they are not honest there either, and are not even equal to Montenegrin 3 stars. The air conditioner for the hotel is common, it cools rather conditionally, but the noise is the same as in an airplane, and turning off the air conditioner does not remove it, since its pipes pass under the ceiling of the corridor and the audibility is excellent. The territory is not large. In the prospectus of the hotel, you will read that the hotel considers itself ecological through a riot of greenery and respect for the sea. So the greenery is 50 square meters. m. of lawn, half dried and 15 palm trees. The beach at the hotel is really its own, if you can call the territory a beach where among the cigarette butts carried out by the sea there is sometimes rubbish sand. The sea is very restless, but the beach bay, unlike neighboring hotels, is not equipped with wave breakers, and therefore people mostly go or go to distant beaches, although if there was a host in the hotel, this beach could be the best in Paphos through the sandy coast and the same bottom. The bottom of the sea near the beach is more like a waste dump (I love to dive).
Nutrition I will say gently - no. Poor menu. Been on pills for a couple of days. This must be thought of in a 5-star hotel in CYPRUS for ten days serving salads from CRAB sticks. Both salads and hot dishes were often stale, the staff sometimes listened and removed such dishes. Fish is what we call catfish fillet, once in salads there were mussels and stewed small octopuses. Juices, especially orange ones, are mixed with water and are sometimes given fermented (on July 28, I personally showed the spoiled juice to the restaurant manager, it was removed, but put back in 20 minutes). Fruits and vegetables - tomatoes, cucumbers, plums, cherries, melon, grapes and watermelon. Everything is completely immature. How can you find green fruits in CYPRUS at this time? Everyone bought in the supermarket opposite, quite ripe and tasty. By the way tavern opposite the hotel food is much tastier, more varied and cheaper. When checking out from the hotel, they tried to cheat us on paying someone's bills for beer, but without much argument they agreed that we did not drink beer at the hotel. Razvodilovka in the hotel with billiards and tennis. Ads are free. But it costs money to rent rackets, cue sticks, etc.

People do not go to Venus Beach and do not use the services of Natalie Tour. I'm not spiteful or grumpy. Read my reviews and reports from other trips. Such a wedding tour is the biggest muck from a seemingly normal company. For decency, after my calls, they could at least apologize.
