Rested family with children. As a family run hotel, it's great. Couples, singles will be bored. The entire staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. The menu of the main All Inclusive restaurant is excellent. Breakfast is standard European, but everyone will find what to choose, there are 2 types of porridge. For lunch, and especially for dinner, the assortment is really huge. Dishes almost never end, they are constantly updated. Lots of meat and fish products - pork, beef, turkey, chicken, lamb, suckling pig. Many fish dishes, several times in 10 days there was red fish. There were also seafood - octopuses, squids. During the day and in the evening, waiters serve - they immediately remove the plates, you can order alcohol (wine, beer, champagne) or juice. There are always free tables - there is a lot of space; There is a terrace so you can eat outdoors. In general, as for the main restaurant - everything is at the highest level. There is also a bar where you can have a snack between main meals, but we ate there only once on the day of arrival - the choice is very poor, but there was no need for it - there was enough breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also a bar at the pool - there, too, during the day you can order cocktails, alcohol, ice cream. The guys at the bar are great. It was always a pleasure to order a cocktail from the bartender Narek - always positive, joking, fluent in Russian. There is also an a-la carte restaurant, but we did not go there, although there was a subscription for one free service. There was also no need, since the range of the main All Inclusive restaurant is much larger.
In addition to food, I liked a good pool, the availability of free sunbeds next to it, free beach towels, a spacious, pleasant and clean room.
Of the big pluses - a program from TUI - for both adults and children. My wife and I had a great time with the guys from the FUN@SUN team. Gio (George) is especially good - it was he who quickly contributed to the fact that we quickly got involved in the entertainment program and took part in it daily. A pleasant young man who also dances well - he has always been the ringleader in organizing the performance of a clockwork hotel dance - during the day by the pool and in the evening at the children's disco. It was also a pleasure to take part in the events held by Anya, Ilona, Yulia, Marius.
The program for children is also a pleasant experience. The club has a very charismatic personality - "pirate" Sasha from Bulgaria. He also speaks Russian well. Everyone loved him, both our children and ourselves. To understand why, it is better to see him in action once - for example, at the same evening children's disco. Very friendly. The girls from the children's club are a little lost against the background of Alexander, but all of them, without exception, are also worthy of praise - they are very pleasant and the children like them - Yulia, Varya.
Of the minuses - the room was on the first floor with access to the parking lot - they often passed us to the kids club. We did not bother with changing the number, because for us it was not very important. It was also a little embarrassing that the first 2 days there was no cleaning in the room. As it turned out, the cleaning lady came to clean at the moment when the children were sleeping and I turned on the Do Not Disturb toggle switch. Contacting the reception with a clarification of when cleaning can be done, this issue was resolved - from the next day everything was in order. There was almost always a strong wind in the late afternoon, but this is not a minus of the hotel itself, but a reality of Cyprus. And, in our opinion, there is not as much greenery on the territory of the hotel as we would like, but, again, apparently, this is a given location - in Cyprus, vegetation is not very dense)
In general, I recommend this hotel to everyone.

We were a family of 2 adults and 3 children aged 13.8 and 3. It was the first time in Cyprus, before that 5 matches in Turkey and Egypt. The territory is not large, like all hotels in Cyprus, everything is very clean, bright and worthy. The pools are warm, children's are super. There is a quiet area - with a pool and jacuzzi.

We were a family of 2 adults and 3 children aged 13.8 and 3. It was the first time in Cyprus, before that 5 matches in Turkey and Egypt. The territory is not large, like all hotels in Cyprus, everything is very clean, bright and worthy. The pools are warm, children's are super. There is a quiet area - with a pool and jacuzzi. Rooms are a separate issue))) When reading reviews, you need to understand that there are old and new buildings. We were in a new one, on the 4th floor, there was no sea view, but it didn’t bother us in any way)) A room of two rooms in one children, in the second we) Bedding was changed once in 7 days, towels in the room - degree of pollution, pool towels could be changed three times during the stay. Cleaning excellent, shampoo, shower gel and soap changed regularly.
About food) Reading the reviews, choosing a hotel, I read a lot)) The food is varied, the meat is different - lamb, lamb, chicken, beef, fish. Served fried, steamed, stewed, marinated. . . Seasonal vegetables, fruits, salads. Breakfasts are the European standard. What people eat, what kind of pickles, when they criticize breakfasts, that they are monotonous, it’s hard for me to understand)) You can always (on the all-inclusive system) eat in restaurants by the pool when the main meals are over.
Animation! She is, her main advantages - she is unobtrusive))) And, special thanks to Mariusz for evening discos with children))))))
Two words about the sea, it is not far from it, it is clean, there are a lot of people, all the beaches in Cyprus are municipal, so get ready, if you don’t have an umbrella, pay 2.5 euros per day)) But !! ! The check is valid on any beach during the day. We just went into the sea and did not go out for 40 minutes.
In the evening there is where to walk and spend money))) In general, Cyprus made a positive impression, and the hotel even exceeded our expectations. I can safely say - I would like to return!! !

The hotel is not bad, one might even say the best in which I have been. And this is my sixth time in Cyprus and I have something to compare with! The hotel is new, stylish and modern. The rooms are fresh, bright and spacious. The hotel itself and the rooms in particular are well cleaned. The service staff is above all praise, smiling, friendly, always ready to help.

The rooms are fresh, bright and spacious. The hotel itself and the rooms in particular are well cleaned. The service staff is above all praise, smiling, friendly, always ready to help. We arrived and were seated immediately. The room is fresh and interesting. The bed is big and comfortable. Huge closet, seating area, TV, two air conditioners, chic balconies. Soundproofing is excellent. Bathroom with modern fixtures, excellent quality soaps and clean towels. Very beautiful, I can not even believe that this is not 5 *. The hotel has several excellent pools for every taste. There is no intrusive animation, only live music. The food is a big thank you! We ate plenty of everything that was not on the table. I have never seen such an abundance, except for the Turkish ol. Delicious meat, grilled fish, seafood, vegetable salads, also thanks for the insanely delicious cakes and pastries). To the beach stomp minutes 5-7. Nice clean beach, white sand, emerald water, very clean and warm. Umbrellas and sun loungers are paid. As for the flight and, in general, the organization of recreation, this was dealt with by t-o. We did not regret that we turned to them, everything was done wisely, on time, without any problems. If anything - managers are in touch around the clock and will solve any issue. Actually, the rest flew by unnoticed, but so many wonderful memories remained from the hotel and from the excellent staff. Would love to come back here for sure! !

Were in Vangelis Hotel & Suites in June. Rested family (child 5 years) week. We arrived at Larnaca airport on June 20, it was not long to go, we were met on a sprinter, we stopped at the same hotel on the way, all the other families were from ours, and that was a little less than an hour. We were immediately greeted by a porter, who helped to bring things to the reception, then they were taken to the room.

Were in Vangelis Hotel & Suites in June. Rested family (child 5 years) week.
We arrived at Larnaca airport on June 20, it was not long to go, we were met on a sprinter, we stopped at the same hotel on the way, all the other families were from ours, and that was a little less than an hour.
We were immediately greeted by a porter, who helped to bring things to the reception, then they were taken to the room. We arrived at the hotel at 13, settled immediately. They brought things for lunch.
So, about the hotel. In addition to the fact that Vangelis is located in the very center of Protaras, it is also the middle of the main promenade, absolutely everything you need within 5-7 minutes. Of the supermarkets, we liked Best Buy more, there are also Rossos nearby, but the prices for everything are a little higher there.
Very tasty ice cream in Napolea, where we tried frozen yogurt for the first time))) amazingly delicious! Once we decided to go to the local Olympus tavern, we really liked it, only we went there on Saturday there were a lot of locals, dinner for three along with drinks cost us 45€.
On the left side of the hotel there are trampolines, the child looked at them all, but they did not allocate time for them. But in the evening we visited the local attraction “singing fountain show”, we were delighted, very spectacular, we took tickets from the guide, it’s cheaper for an adult 22 € for a child 14 €.
If you are in Protaras, do not forget to visit the Church of the Prophet Elijah, it takes 15-20 minutes to walk from the hotel, it was hot to climb there during the day, after all, about 170 steps, we got out after dinner, a very beautiful perverse view of the sea opens up, you can even see the fountain show.
The territory of the hotel pleases the eye from all angles. We had a room on the 4th floor, and in front of us the whole territory and a piece of the sea were visible. The pool is very large and unusual in shape with overflows of flowers, there is a bridge - a favorite place for photographs, a children's pool with slides and a fountain, I want to note that there are a lot of sunbeds by the pool. Nearby there is a pool bar, during the day there were hot and cold snacks.
The reception makes a vivid impression right away, the hotel itself is designed in general, comfortable sofas, flowers, details, all this is very conducive.
The beaches of Protaras are my favorite! They are amazing here. White soft sand, azure sea, gentle entrance, sea without waves.
The hotel itself is located on the second line, but 3-5 minutes from the sea, I don’t consider the second line)) the road that separates from the sea is more pedestrian, there is one-way traffic, drivers drive quietly.
We went to Sunrise Beach, it's the closest. Once we were on Fig Tree Bay, it is considered the best in this region, but there were more people there.
On the beach, sunbeds and umbrellas for 2.5 €, a set for two 7.5 €. We were given a check, then they came with it again in the evening.
There are water sports on the beaches, there are a lot of them, there are boats, boats, you can even fly))
The spa area is located on the -1 floor in the reception building, there is also an indoor pool and a gym. A catalog of spa services can be taken at the reception, there is in Russian, the prices are reasonable.
We really liked the animation at the hotel, the main thing is for the child too, two girls, one of them speaks Russian. The kids club is located in a separate house, it is open from 10:00 to 18:30 (with a break for lunch), for children from 4 to 10 years old. In addition to the kids club, there is also a playground. And, of course, our favorite mini disco, every day at 18:30.
Adults were also not forgotten, from 21 to 23:00 live music, very pleasant vocals, even magicians were there, after dinner everyone went down to the veranda, ordered drinks and enjoyed the program.
During the day there was aqua aerobics, but we didn’t get to it, if I’m not mistaken, it took place at 11 o’clock, at that time we were at sea.
I would especially like to note the food, here 5+. Everything is very delicious! Nicely and neatly served. There are always 2 types of soup, homemade sauces, many salads and snacks, 2-3 types of meat, fish and seafood are always available during lunch and dinner. Thematic cuisines: Italian, Mediterranean and, of course, Cypriot, when traditional lamb kleftiko was served. The waiters are great, they work very quickly and friendly. And for the child there were all the amenities, high toilet seats, a separate children's table, with cereals, mashed potatoes.
Our room was in block B, it is located closer to the road, we were nervously waiting for the night, we thought noise would be heard, after all, the city center, a busy part, but no, with the windows closed, the audibility is zero, after one in the morning all establishments slowly close.
We had the Twin Superior deluxe category. What can I say, that from the number one delight. Unique design, everything is snow-white clean, the bathroom is spacious, there are bath amenities. 3-4 towels per person + beach towels. The room has a safe and a mini fridge for a surcharge of 1.5 € per day. There is a tea and coffee set. On the balcony there is a table, 2 chairs and a built-in dryer. The closet is very big. I caught the Internet in the room too, in general, there was a very good signal throughout the territory, cartoons for the child were loaded instantly.
There were always 2-3 employees at the reception, Rula and Anna speak Russian.
Yes, and our hotel guide Christina, she was at the hotel almost every day, if anything she was always ready to help. For which many thanks to her.

The hotel is designer, everything is tasteful, everywhere there are interesting details that you want to focus on. Violet shades are sustained everywhere, fresh flowers at the reception, painted walls. The room was also unique. We had a One Bedroom Suite, a large two-room suite, fruits and water upon check-in) cleaning every day, they clean very high quality.

Bath accessories are updated every day, they smell very tasty.
We took all inclusive meals, usually we are not supporters of all inclusive, but here it was worth it. Drinks, cocktails, coffee are all high quality. There are 2 bars, in one of them you can order hot snacks in between main meals on the menu.
The restaurant is located above the reception with a beautiful veranda and panorama. Inside it looks exactly like a restaurant, the food is really super, the chef is 5+.
We went to the beach to Vrissi, Sunrise, of course, is closer, but there were fewer people on Vrissi. And so in Protaras, all the beaches are very good.
I definitely recommend the hotel, it is new, of a high standard and with good infrastructure inside.

We chose an inexpensive hotel, as we were going to actively spend time and only for 7 days. And they made the right choice. Flew from Join Up from Zhuliany airport, meeting side of Nicky Travel. Everything is fine, in vain they feared about the choice of a tour operator. The plane was normal, without delay, on board there was a snack in the form of a roll with ham and cheese, tea, coffee, water.

We chose an inexpensive hotel, as we were going to actively spend time and only for 7 days. And they made the right choice.
Flew from Join Up from Zhuliany airport, meeting side of Nicky Travel. Everything is fine, in vain they feared about the choice of a tour operator. The plane was normal, without delay, on board there was a snack in the form of a roll with ham and cheese, tea, coffee, water. We flew to Paphos, the transfer to the hotel took about 3 hours, not very tiring, even interesting.
Upon arrival at the hotel, our cards were already ready and we were immediately settled in building "B", a separate building across the path from the reception. Room 2307 was with a side sea view. Everything worked, we liked the room. Air conditioning is free, TV remote without deposit, one badly tuned Russian channel, no hair dryer, adapters were no longer available, bought in a supermarket. All the necessary utensils were there. Electric kettle, stove with oven, toaster. There was soap, no shampoos and gels. Cleaned well, towels and sheets changed. We didn't take the safe.
The territory is not very large, four buildings, some balconies overlook the main street, noisy. There are a lot of sun loungers around the pool, however, we have never swum in the pool, there was no desire, since the wonderful sea is nearby.
The beach is very close, you need to walk between the two hotels. The sea and the entrance to it are wonderful. The water temperature was 25-26 degrees. We took sun loungers and an umbrella. It's impossible to lie down without an umbrella.
Meals were taken breakfast + dinner. Liked. Every day for breakfast the same thing, but just a lot and delicious. There is also a large selection for dinner. A Lidl supermarket is located a short distance from the hotel behind the car park. Very comfortably. Water and drinks are cheap there.
The hotel has a lot of Russian-speaking tourists.
We went on excursions Famagusta-Kerinia (48 euros), Grand Tour (38 euros). Dinner was not included, we got our own sandwiches. Excursions are organized by the travel agency Aphrodite Tour, an agency that is located to the left of the hotel cooperates with them. The organization is good, everything is on time, the bus and the driver are good. Guide Arina is simply beyond praise, a guide from God. We were lucky, we got on both excursions with her.
Excursion Famagusta-Kerinia really liked. Northern Cyprus is beautiful and there is a lot to see. The ascent to the monastery of St. Hilarion is difficult, but worth it. There you have to overcome three levels, shoes should be comfortable, you need to calculate the time, since the descent is also not easy. The Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Famagusta, the fortress in Kyrenia and the White Abbey also deserve attention. Of course, everything was running, but the impressions were still positive, although we were tired, we had to walk up the stairs a lot. When crossing the border into Turkish territory, you need the original passport, no photocopies. We checked our visa on the way back.
The Grand Tour included wine tasting, a visit to the Kykkos Monastery and the village of Lefkara. Filigree silverware in the village is sold beautiful, but almost twice as expensive. Something in Protaras could be bought cheaper. So do not rush to buy, look first in stores. Silver icons in Kykkos Monastery are also at the same price, and some are even cheaper. The tour is not very tiring, the mountains are beautiful, only the serpentine is serious, some were not very good, especially for children.
We also bought tickets to the pier a couple of hours before the boat left (on board there is an advertisement for Coca-Cola for 10 euros). We rode for 2.5 hours with nice calm music from Famagusta to Cape Greca, bought in the Blue Lagoon, they even gave us drinks as a gift when we boarded. Had a very good time. It's better to go before lunch. The backlight of the sun on the shore, the photos are better. Themselves after dinner went to the church on the mountain in Protaras. The view is very beautiful. Finding a church is not difficult.
In general, a transfer along the southern coast from Paphos airport to Protaras to the hotel, excursions to the occupied territory in the north of Cyprus to Kyrenia and to the central part with a visit to Kykkos, a boat trip along the coast allowed us to get to know the island. I liked Cyprus and Protaras itself. The sea is very beautiful, clean and warm
One drawback is the local youth. I read in the reviews that they come here from all over Cyprus for the weekend to relax, since this part has the best beach, but I didn’t think that there were so many. Not only are they VERY noisy and inadequate, they also leave a lot of garbage behind. Also, in the building in which we lived, there is no control, and they drive in cars with companies. At night they walk in full, sleep until lunch, and then rage on the beach. For them, there are no norms of behavior, and the world around them does not interest them. Tourists on the beach try to hide from them in the corners. Yeah...., they do not appreciate what they got, and they are not going to save. No one is in a hurry to work there and the crisis is not for them.
It’s good that thanks to the reviews, we were aware of a large number of local vacationers on weekends and planned excursions for ourselves, since there weren’t even free sunbeds on the beach, and there was just a “guard” in the sea.
Output.
1. The hotel is good, food and service too, but if you want a relaxing beach holiday, then you need to choose either another area or a vacation time when schoolchildren and students do not have vacations.
2. In general, we were satisfied with the trip and have never regretted choosing a country and a place for our next vacation at this time of the year, although there were some doubts when the question “where to go? ” became. After the trip, I radically changed my opinion about Cyprus. We got new, vivid impressions of the country and the sea, for which we went. Which is what I wish for everyone. The main thing at the same time is to understand for what purpose and for what money you are going to spend your vacation.
I would like to once again thank everyone who shares their experience and invaluable information, thanks to which our vacation, as always, was five points.

Upon arrival at the hotel, our cards were already ready and we were immediately settled in building "B", a separate building across the path from the reception. Room 2307 was with a side sea view. Everything worked, we liked the room. Air conditioning is free, TV remote without deposit, one badly tuned Russian channel, no hair dryer, adapters were no longer available, bought in a supermarket. All the necessary utensils were there. Electric kettle, stove with oven, toaster. There was soap, no shampoos and gels. Cleaned well, towels and sheets changed. We didn't take the safe.
The territory is not very large, four buildings, some balconies overlook the main street, noisy. There are a lot of sun loungers around the pool, however, we have never swum in the pool, there was no desire, since the wonderful sea is nearby.
The beach is very close, you need to walk between the two hotels. The sea and the entrance to it are wonderful. The water temperature was 25-26 degrees. We took sun loungers and an umbrella. It's impossible to lie down without an umbrella.
Meals were taken breakfast + dinner. Liked. Every day for breakfast the same thing, but just a lot and delicious. There is also a large selection for dinner. A Lidl supermarket is located a short distance from the hotel behind the car park. Very comfortably. Water and drinks are cheap there.
The hotel has a lot of Russian-speaking tourists.
We went on excursions Famagusta-Kerinia (48 euros), Grand Tour (38 euros). Dinner was not included, we got our own sandwiches. Excursions are organized by the travel agency Aphrodite Tour, an agency that is located to the left of the hotel cooperates with them. The organization is good, everything is on time, the bus and the driver are good. Guide Arina is simply beyond praise, a guide from God. We were lucky, we got on both excursions with her.
Excursion Famagusta-Kerinia really liked. Northern Cyprus is beautiful and there is a lot to see. The ascent to the monastery of St. Hilarion is difficult, but worth it. There you have to overcome three levels, shoes should be comfortable, you need to calculate the time, since the descent is also not easy. The Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Famagusta, the fortress in Kyrenia and the White Abbey also deserve attention. Of course, everything was running, but the impressions were still positive, although we were tired, we had to walk up the stairs a lot. When crossing the border into Turkish territory, you need the original passport, no photocopies. We checked our visa on the way back.
The Grand Tour included wine tasting, a visit to the Kykkos Monastery and the village of Lefkara. Filigree silverware in the village is sold beautiful, but almost twice as expensive. Something in Protaras could be bought cheaper. So do not rush to buy, look first in stores. Silver icons in Kykkos Monastery are also at the same price, and some are even cheaper. The tour is not very tiring, the mountains are beautiful, only the serpentine is serious, some were not very good, especially for children.
We also bought tickets to the pier a couple of hours before the boat left (on board there is an advertisement for Coca-Cola for 10 euros). We rode for 2.5 hours with nice calm music from Famagusta to Cape Greca, bought in the Blue Lagoon, they even gave us drinks as a gift when we boarded. Had a very good time. It's better to go before lunch. The backlight of the sun on the shore, the photos are better. Themselves after dinner went to the church on the mountain in Protaras. The view is very beautiful. Finding a church is not difficult.
In general, a transfer along the southern coast from Paphos airport to Protaras to the hotel, excursions to the occupied territory in the north of Cyprus to Kyrenia and to the central part with a visit to Kykkos, a boat trip along the coast allowed us to get to know the island. I liked Cyprus and Protaras itself. The sea is very beautiful, clean and warm
One drawback is the local youth. I read in the reviews that they come here from all over Cyprus for the weekend to relax, since this part has the best beach, but I didn’t think that there were so many. Not only are they VERY noisy and inadequate, they also leave a lot of garbage behind. Also, in the building in which we lived, there is no control, and they drive in cars with companies. At night they walk in full, sleep until lunch, and then rage on the beach. For them, there are no norms of behavior, and the world around them does not interest them. Tourists on the beach try to hide from them in the corners. Yeah...., they do not appreciate what they got, and they are not going to save. No one is in a hurry to work there and the crisis is not for them.
It’s good that thanks to the reviews, we were aware of a large number of local vacationers on weekends and planned excursions for ourselves, since there weren’t even free sunbeds on the beach, and there was just a “guard” in the sea.
Output.
1. The hotel is good, food and service too, but if you want a relaxing beach holiday, then you need to choose either another area or a vacation time when schoolchildren and students do not have vacations.
2. In general, we were satisfied with the trip and have never regretted choosing a country and a place for our next vacation at this time of the year, although there were some doubts when the question “where to go? ” became. After the trip, I radically changed my opinion about Cyprus. We got new, vivid impressions of the country and the sea, for which we went. Which is what I wish for everyone. The main thing at the same time is to understand for what purpose and for what money you are going to spend your vacation.
I would like to once again thank everyone who shares their experience and invaluable information, thanks to which our vacation, as always, was five points.
