One plus of this hotel is that its beach is the most normal of all on the coast of Paphos. There is a breakwater that created a calm cove, as well as a fenced natural pool right in the sea near the shore. BUT this plus turns into a MINUS for the inhabitants of the hotel, because. everyone with children from neighboring hotels goes to this beach. And since this hotel this year announced the absence of children in the hotel and raised the price bar for this - this is not good. I love children very much, but when you pay to have a quiet rest without a child crying nearby and you don’t get it... it’s not very pleasant. The sunbeds are divided into 2 parts - by the pool, the wooden ones are normal, all the rest are broken old stretched ones... and in order to take a normal sunbed with a normal mattress, people get up at 6 in the morning, you get up at 7 and almost everything is already taken. What a rest if you are forced to get up early to take a sunbed on the beach. This is fueled by the fact that from the neighboring hotel Cypria Bay - all the people go to our beach and take our sunbeds.
What can be said about the staff - almost no one cleans the beach and the area around the pool. For 10 days I saw 1 time tidy. In the morning on the beach you come across scattered plastic glasses. I understand that vacationers are littering, despite the fact that there are plenty of trash cans, but no one really monitors the tidying up. As well as behind the vegetation on the territory of the hotel. Walking on the grass, you can get bogged down ankle-deep in the soaked earth, or you can see withered grass, palm trees, trees and not well-groomed flower beds. Once in the morning, 1 man walks with a hose, where he puts it - he stands waiting and smokes, finished smoking - he went to a new place, he smokes there. This is how they water. Those. where it is dense, and in most places it is empty.
Entertainment: two animators are great smarties, especially a girl and friendly young people in the gym with simulators, they will help, prompt. But there were exceptions - the third of the animators, with the habit of dressing in women's costumes, once in the morning, walked around the pool, barely standing on his feet, pestering the vacationers, with a bottle in his hands and drinking their throats... maybe he had some good reasons for this reasons, but an animator can't behave like that.

In the restaurant: the staff is responsive, they speak Russian too. Food - of course, if you dig around, but you can choose your own food. There is little low-calorie or vegetarian food, I would even say that there is almost none. So if you are on a diet, then you are clearly not in this hotel. It is depressing that for breakfast coffee is given out in doses - i. e. waiters walk between cleaning dishes and pour into cups. Morning coffee is very important for me, but I didn’t have enough of it in this hotel... I’m talking about normal coffee - and not something that is poured in Nescafe machines.
Cleaning in the rooms - they cleaned our rooms every day, and the towels were changed when we wanted it. Bed linen was changed once in 10 days. BUT after each tidying between the sheets, we found a lot of long black female hair, so before going to bed we always examined our beds and blew off someone's hairline with a hairdryer. Maybe of course it was only us who got the maids with hair problems, but it was terribly not pleasant.
And the worst thing is that we left one gold earring with a diamond on the bed, and it was cleaned and not recognized. They said that they had a conversation with the staff, but no one confessed. So be careful with expensive things, you will lose them and no one will return them to you. This incident ruined the whole holiday.
