Хороший отдых за разумные деньги Good holiday for reasonable money

The hotel is very well located - a quiet place about a kilometer from the center of Protaras, the first coastline. It consists of several four-story buildings equipped with elevators. The rooms are large, consist of several rooms, depending on the category chosen - a living room with a kitchen, a bedroom (or two) separately, a combined bathroom and a balcony (we had a corner balcony, so small that a table with two chairs barely fit). The kitchenette includes - a refrigerator, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, an electric built-in panel with two burners, an extractor hood (for some reason it did not work for us - number E06), a cabinet with a set of dishes - various plates, glasses, cups, spoons, forks, knives , a frying pan, a saucepan, a colander, a salad bowl, a couple of bowls, a corkscrew, a ladle, spatulas.
The TV is in the living room, the remote control is at the reception for a deposit of 10 euros. You can also get beach towels for the same amount. The bedroom has separate beds with bedside tables, a hair dryer next to the dressing table, a huge spacious closet with lots of hangers. One of them has a built-in electronic safe, also quite roomy, the cost of using it is 2 euros per day). There is no dryer on the balcony. Therefore, take care of the rope and clothespins. True, the hotel has such a service as washing and drying in automatic washing machines - 3 euros up to 8 kg of washing per load and 2 euros for drying. Can only be washed. The laundry is located behind building E.
There are Russian-speaking employees at the reception, but they do not meet every day. The staff tries to speak English but understands even worse than they speak.

The hotel operates on the system HB or "all inclusive". The latter is absolutely not justified, with the exception of lovers of free booze.
English-type breakfasts, monotonous, are boring, but there is only one alternative - you can skip and cook yourself. In a restaurant in the morning, as a rule, 3 types of juices (grapefruit is the most delicious, with pulp), very diluted drinks, several types of coffee from vending machines, black tea, milk. Muesli-balls-flakes, 3 types of cheese, sausage, ham, vegetables in the form of cucumber-tomatoes, olives, 3 standard types of egg dishes (boiled, scrambled eggs and fried eggs), fried bacon, stewed beans, baked tomato, fried bread, steamed types of croissants, sour cream, yogurt, 3 types of jam, honey. From fruits - either grapefruit or orange + canned peaches and pears.
What they give for lunch - I don’t know, we had half board.
Dinner is different every day, usually themed. One kind of the first is more often a cream soup. Vegetables separately and in the form of salads, black and green olives, 3 types of meat - beef, chicken, lamb or pork, fish (either stewed fillet or fried) sometimes there are seafood. Rice is always a side dish, potatoes alternate with pasta with various sauces, sometimes there is pizza. Ice cream, a couple of cakes, jelly pudding and fruits - plums, pears, hard peaches, grapes, apples, bananas, melon. Drinks at dinner are paid for those who have HB. Write down on the number to pay at the check-out. I do not advise you to do this, they pricked up. Better to pay in cash. The prices are atomic - a cup of tea is equivalent to a glass of beer and costs 2.5 euros, a glass of juice 3.5 euros (and in a nearby supermarket opposite the Papantonia hotel, this beer and juice will be several times cheaper).

The territory of the hotel will not say that it is very large, but still. One drawback, in my opinion, but quite significant. Building E is adjacent to the Anastasia Hotel. Therefore, all evening animation will be yours without leaving your room. As well as the daily work of air conditioners in the hotel restaurant. For those whose rooms faced the sea, it was really Anastasia's pool, from which it smelled of sewage.
In addition to the buildings, 2 swimming pools - one of them for children, and a green terrace with sun loungers, umbrellas, tables and hammocks for free. And to the sea from this terrace is only 20-50 m. The beach is sandy, sunbeds are paid for 2.5 euros. The entrance to the sea is sandy and pebbly, there are also boulders. The sea was transparent, the water temperature was about 25 degrees in early October, there was no sweltering heat. The so-called "velvet season" was coming to an end. A couple of times there was a thunderstorm, spectacular as it should be. Protaras itself is quite quiet, there are few cars on the streets, and there are not too many people either. We enjoyed walking along the resort’s embankment equipped with lamps in the evening, walked along it to the center of the resort (if by bus, it turns out much longer), sat on the benches, listened to the surf and breathed the sea air. There is no entertainment as such and any kind of "hanging out" in the hotel and nearby places, for this you need to go to Ai-Napa (bus 102 costs 1 euro from the nose).
The hotel is good for lovers of a relaxing holiday, older couples. families with very young children. Young people and schoolchildren can be bored, despite the fact that there is a mini-water park near Anastasia, but it is far from free. A large water park is located in Ai Napa and costs 32 euros for an adult with a transfer.
