Impressions about the rest in general are only positive. Cyprus is an excellent place.
This is the resort of Protaras. You can visit the Oceanarium on your own (adults - 12 euros)) aquarium - penguins, fish, birds, crocodiles, turtles, etc. ), the performance "Dancing Fountains" (adults - 15.5 euros), Elijah's Church. The cost of a bus ticket is 1 euro one way, and it takes literally 5 minutes to get there.
The hotel is located far from the center of the resort, that is, if you want to walk along the crowded streets in the evening, sit in a cafe, dance, etc. , you need to travel by bus no longer than 10 minutes. They go once every 20 minutes. Or by taxi - 5 euros.
Near the hotel there is a mini market (food and souvenirs).
Positive points:
1. room: b / pl safe, tea, coffee, cream, kettle in use; the bathroom has a toilet, bathtub and shower; TV with 2 Russian channels; balcony; air conditioner

2. the hotel is located right on the seashore (a small bay with a sandy beach), there is no need to use municipal sunbeds (2.50 euros / day) and umbrellas (2.50 euros / day), very close to the hotel’s second-hand sunbeds (from the hotel provides a b / pl towel for a sunbed)
3. at least 3 Russian-speaking employees work at the reception, which greatly simplifies the process of communication and mutual understanding
4. varied food (fruits, seafood, meat, fish, vegetables, cereals)
5. good animation (bocha, darts, water polo, volleyball, pilates, stretching, table tennis); every evening a variety of performances; live music at dinner
Negative points:
1. there are no toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and shower gel in the room; small uncomfortable pillows
2. towels and bed linen are changed 1-2 times in 7 days
3. the tennis court is not free at all, unless, of course, you brought rackets with you, rent is 12 euros / hour, like playing squash, the cost of a billiard party is 1 euro
4. there is no information in the lobby about the time when the guide appears at the hotel
4. negative impressions were left by Irina, the guide from the host of Prometheus: she came to us only once to raise money for excursions, and she told us everything in just 5 minutes, we understood little of this, chose 3 excursions, paid, she left , and then we ourselves looked for her for a long time to find out the time of departure and when the bus would pick us up from the hotel, it turned out that she simply forgot about us.
We recommend this hotel, a worthy place for a delightful quiet and relaxing holiday. Many families have a rest here with children, as well as elderly Europeans.
