Uryaaaaaa!!! ! ! ! Rest was a success!!!!! ! ! ! Here we are back (oh, how I didn’t want to. . ) and I’m writing a review right away!

We rested in this cozy 3 *** hotel NISSI PARK from 18.09. until 28.09, tour operator "Biblio-Globus". We rested with a group of four - my husband and I and friends (also a couple). This is the second time in Cyprus - before that we were on a honeymoon with my husband, only in Larnaca.

The flight was from Domodedovo airport (Transaero company, 2-story plane) - Paphos (not very convenient of course - because it took about 1.5 or 2 hours from Paphos to Ayia Napa, we didn’t have time for dinner), back also departure from Paphos, only flew to Sheremetyevo-2.
Everything is ok with the tour operator, they did everything ok at the travel agency, provisions, etc. The guys did an excellent job and their prices were the lowest for tours!

Transaero plane - uuuhhh big of course, I didn’t really like the food in it, they didn’t even take anything - only juice and tea. This is of course not the most important, but nevertheless ....There flew a little shaking, back - as if on a feather.
The flight back was delayed by an hour.

Now, of course, about the hotel and the rest in general!!!!! ! !
So, Nissi Park Hotel.
The hotel is located next to Nissi Beach, nearby hotels - Adams Beach, Nissiana, Christofinia, Atlantic Aenes Resort, Nissi Beach - are a little aside, as it were. Nearby there is also Makronius beach - we also went to it several times - if you leave the hotel, then to the right! And on Nissi from the hotel to the left, past Adams!

The location of the hotel was convenient for us, because we not only went to hang out and go to discos, but also travel around the island and relax, of course - so the location was convenient for us - a variety of restaurants and shops nearby - everything is at hand, to the center of course, not so close - we walked a couple of times - it's about 40 minutes on foot to all the entertainment and discos, by taxi 8 euros and 10 minutes drive (or if you stuff yourself into a car with a company - then 2 euros per person)!
Perhaps next time we will take a hotel a little closer to the center, a little towards Greshen Bay, but not in the very one - because it is unrealistically noisy there, constant movement - it will be difficult to sleep off.

The territory of the hotel. The territory itself is small, after Egypt, Turkey, etc. it seems tiny, but for Cyprus there is no need for a large hotel - such a sea is a sin to sit on the territory of the hotel !! ! ! But the hotel is very, very nice and cozy - everything you need is at hand !! ! ! A lot of greenery, palm trees, even bananas grow - you can touch it)))) Flowers - the sea - the ones above the roof of the bar are especially fascinating, in the evening they are knocked down by a light breeze - sooo romantic))))) Two pools - one about 20-25 in length adult (depth up to 1.6 meters), and a small children's paddling pool. There is a small playground for kids - a slide, a swing. But the kids mostly also hang out with their parents in the big pool.

Only the Germans and the British sit in the pool all day long - apparently they are not drawn to the sea, they sit in this bleach from morning to evening)))) The pool is open from 8 am to 7 pm, but we also swam at night, we didn’t make much noise and no one commented on us. The hotel has a cozy bar with lights - it's beautiful! The hotel lobby itself is all in bright colors, the ceilings are illuminated - it looks beautiful and stylish in the evening! Furniture and accessories are mostly from IKEA)))) But everything is done stylishly, simply, but tastefully! In the hall there is a large TV, there is paid internet - 2 computers. There is also a meeting corner with a guide, there is also information on all tour operators, free maps for Cyprus, useful brochures.

There is only one restaurant in the hotel - a lot of space, even with a large number of people, cozy wicker chairs. There are 4 baby chairs.

Rooms.
The rooms are all standard, the furniture is quite new (everything is as in the picture from the official website of the hotel), a double bed, a TV stand, a bedside table where to paint, etc. , a bathroom with a toilet and a sink, an air conditioner (powerful), a safe (for a fee - we took for 10 days, 1.5 euros per day, returned 5 euros upon departure), there is no refrigerator (for an additional fee) - nonsense of course, but if we cool something - then in the bathroom under water), if you need a refrigerator - then they bring it. The beds are stupid - at first my husband and I were glad that cheers - double, not separate, but it turned out to be in vain rejoicing - I don’t know how in other rooms, but we had some crazy beds - you just start to turn around and that’s it - the beds are in different directions from move at speed…. a madhouse of course ...in the end we slept like on the same half. . Here is the minus. Each unfolding in a dream is a terrible creak and fear that now you will fall into a hole between the beds. .
The bathroom is not very big, a little cramped - but in general - clean, all German appliances, everything worked properly. Very important - only SOAP in the bathroom! ! ! ! There are no shower gels or shampoos - so be sure to take it with you! ! ! Another point - again, I don’t know how it is in other rooms - but we always had no hot water after 23.00 - we went to wash with friends in the next room ...That sucks ....under cold water somehow not very (((( Our room went straight to the entrance to the hotel, on the 2nd floor, with friends - on the left side.
Keep in mind that all-all rooms in the hotel are mostly side facing (ie.

all the doors to the patio, to the pool), it’s better to take the left side - the view is nicer there - you can see a piece of the Christofini hotel and the sea, trees ...there are also apartments and garbage containers - not very general ...((((((In principle, everything suited us, it was noisy, of course, but we slept with a closed balcony. The air conditioner was not turned on at night, because the nights are no longer so hot - to sleep comfortable!

Many, not only about this hotel, wrote that there are a lot of cockroaches, ants - we have never met these Cypriot residents, and friends somehow took a melon to the room on a plate and didn’t eat a couple of pieces, a plate on the floor - like in the morning they will take it to a restaurant - and so the "local authorities" chose a melon overnight and crawled with friends. Conclusion - try not to store food, sweets, fruits in the room, then there will be no problems with insects.
The rooms were cleaned every day, they cleaned well, everything was clean, towels were changed every day. Moreover, we noticed that on the 2nd floor they clean better than on the first. It just happened that we spent the first night and the second day on the 1st floor - they gave us a room and then they changed it to us, because the ceiling began to leak - the pipets just flooded ....We almost flooded things with suitcases ...and we moved from the 1st floor to the second, and so the 1st cleaning lady was a lazy person - the towels were dirty, but she didn’t even move her nose, hung them so wet ...(The ill-fated number was 102. . . ((( ((

Animation. A day later, a girl and a man perform - they sing in the evenings - well, nothing like that, it's really funny, when they start singing Russian songs in broken Russian - it turns out funny))). Actually, there is nothing more. But this is not necessary there, only Germans with children are sitting in the hotel, and grannies - all the youth are walking, in the center, in discos.

Hotel staff.
Mostly they are Estonians (they treat Russians very badly, not only we noticed this and not only in our hotel. sociable, courteous with everyone - smart girl!!!! ! So everyone is quite nice, tactful, always smiling!

Nutrition.
The overall impression is not bad, prepared for worse for some reason. . )))) In general, I liked everything very, very much, and there is a choice.

This means that breakfasts are always the same, every day, only pastries change - either croissants, or cinnamon and raisin buns, or pancakes.
So for breakfast - scrambled eggs, oatmeal, fried bacon, fried sausages (inside like a doctor's sausage), scalded tomatoes, onion rings in batter, hard-boiled eggs, fried potato wedges, breakfast cereals - various types of cereals - 5-6 types, milk, local yogurt - fruit and natural, coffee machine (coffee, cappuccino, etc. ), juices (orange, grapefruit, water), plum oil. in the package, various local jams (berry, etc. ), bread - white, coarse, with cereals (there is a toaster for them), also vegetables, olives, fruits - melons, grapes, watermelon - it's always the same and for lunch, and for breakfast, and canned - pineapple, peach.
Lunch and dinner - there is always soup (for the time that we were giving - chicken with figured vermicelli and soups-puree - mushroom, meat, vegetable), always 3-4 types of meat (chicken, pork, skewers on skewers, lamb, lamb), 3-4 types of garnish (rice, potatoes in all variations), fish and lamb gave sooooo delicious! Vegetable mixes - broccoli, baby carrots, cauliflower, peas. Well, salads, vegetables, sauces are different for both meat and salads. Drinks - wine, juices, sodas, even commandaria were given. They don’t give anything special for kids, so for kids you will have to buy food in shops)! We really liked everything. Yes, of course, there is no such mega variety as in Egypt, Turkey - but there are no such cool restaurants with delicious cuisine))))) And you won’t stay hungry - that’s for sure !! ! ! ! Food - very decent for a three-ruble note !!!! ! !

Now for nutrition - what is better to take ...Here, of course, everyone decides for himself, but we toiled for a long time - ALL or HB .. ? ? ?

As a result, we settled on ALL (all inclusive) and did not regret it, because they still thought so - for 10 days about 500-600 euros will go to you only for food (average bill, for example, for dinner - a dish, salad or snack light, glass of juice, 500 ml of wine - for two from 35 to 50 euros, breakfasts - somewhere from 9-15 euros, lunches up to 35 euros) - if it is HB, because the prices are not at all cheap, although restaurants (anyway 4 times we went to restaurants) we meticulously chose, according to reviews, etc ...Therefore, decide for yourself here! We, because the company was - it was more convenient and the bar in our hotel was good - they made a lot of cool and tasty cocktails - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic! The food at the hotel was sooo delicious, so we did not regret that we took all inclusive. But if we go together with my husband, then we will take HB, because
the cuisine in Cyprus is sooooooo delicious - be sure to go to local restaurants - I highly recommend the fish restaurants in the port of Ayia Napa, we were in Vassose, we took fish meze there - an unreal yummy and took local white wine - oh, how delicious it was ! ! ! , I also really liked the Valentinos restaurant (how to go to the center) - the carbonara is above all praise from them ! ! ! ! Portions everywhere are simply huge, everything is soooo delicious, with soul !!!!! ! ! ! In general, the best restaurants in Cyprus are in the villages - we ate meat meze there - oooooooo, this can’t be compared with what they cook in the city of course ... ))) We also tried kleftiko - very tasty, we ate moussaka !! ! ! ! Everything is absolutely delicious!!!!! ! !

Beach (Nissi Beach)))))))))))))))))) Well, there are simply no words !!!!!!! ! ! !
The sea is the cleanest, from blue-gray to deep turquoise - the Maldives)))) Only fly less))))) thank God nothing bloomed - we were worried about it, algae were only 2 times during our entire stay, water in the morning invigorating, in the evening - fresh milk - you sit and swim in the water for hours!!! ! ! The little ones are busy at the bank, sculpting sand castles! Grace in one word - something unreal!!! ! ! Beach from early morning until night - no one is kicked out, swim as much as you like!!! ! !
Sunbeds, umbrellas, etc. on the beach are paid. We just bought an umbrella for 10 euros and just lay on the sand - so BE SURE TO TAKE TOWELS FROM THE HOUSE !!!! ! ! ! So that you don’t take hotel ones - otherwise there will be nothing to wipe yourself off after a shower) It’s comfortable to lie on the sand - soft, white.

Of course, the beach is not so straight mega clean - there are cigarette butts and straws - and only English youth really litter - trash cans at every turn, and where they sat - they left everything behind them, pigs ((((((Shower on the beach 1 euros, we didn't use it, we rinsed in the room before dinner ...There are several toilets. The beach is full of bars, eateries. Foam parties are held on the beach - it was cool, hit a few times (free of charge) - SUPER simple!!!!!! ! Emotions over the edge!!!!!! ! ! ! And the kids with their parents too, and the youth - everyone is delighted !! ! Music is playing on the beach from 11.00 to 18.30! There are water activities - flying mattresses, bananas, parachutes, etc. etc. )))))) Prices from 10 to 60 euros (per person). Of course, the beach is popular, because of this, especially on weekends (because even the local population comes here) there are a lot of people, a little less on weekdays, but there is enough space for everyone.
The city is full of shops, supermarkets - food, sunscreen (prices start at 350 rubles for our money), clothes - expensive, souvenirs, etc. - FULL!!!!!! ! !
It is better to buy olive oil in the village of Skarinou - the most delicious and best oil from Cyprus is only there, the rest of the oils are either Russia (!! ! -breeeed) or Greece ...

Discos, clubs - MEGA just fun of course!!!!! ! ! ! Undoubtedly the leaders are Castle Club, Bed Rook, Titanic, Red Squier!! ! ! ! And so - you walk along the street of bars and discos - you choose where it is better and hang out))))))))))!! ! ! ! Yoohuuuu))))))))) Usually, in many clubhouses until 11.30-12.00 (night) admission is free - according to the flyer - they are handed out right next to the club, and then for a fee. Fun of course flows like a river !!!!!!!!! ! ! Second Ibiza!!!!!!!!! ! !

ADVIСE:
1) In Cyprus, I was sooo upset by the price for overweight luggage - for each kg of overweight - 10 euros (((((I had to “give” 40 euros at check-in ((((((((Och were upset - no one talks about this anywhere, not writes....
For economy class - only 20 kg per person, for business class - 30 kg. If you are flying with friends, someone has smaller luggage, then come up together - part of your luggage kg will be transferred to friends and then you won’t have to pay ...!
2) Another tip - if you fly back from Paphos airport - then do not buy Commandaria wine, Zivania vodka and olive oil in Cyprus - that is. to this in the Dutik of this Paphos airport (I don’t know how in Larnaca) in bulk - different options, everything is the same as they sell everywhere and most importantly, the prices are absolutely the same ...Only you don’t need to pack this in your luggage and take a steam bath that something is not bring, break. . Like this…. Unfortunately, they don’t write about this anywhere, and if we knew, then in figs we wouldn’t buy in the city and there would be no advantage (((((((

3) As for excursions, it is better to try to take a car, because all excursions in Cyprus are expensive (for adults - starting from 65 euros, for children - from 30-35 euros, etc .....
) and useless-stupid - no time to take a picture, or to learn something, etc. - no ....Therefore, take a car, a navigator from home (we just preliminarily just all the points - we scored interesting places at home and that's it), they will give a map - but they have some kind of stupid one))))) tricky, too, they have them) saved. I definitely advise you to visit - Petra tou Romiou (birthplace of Aphrodite), waterfalls of Caledonia (in Troodos), Troodos itself, villages - Lefkara, Kakopetria, Latchi, be sure to go to Akamas - an incredible beauty place ! ! ! ! On the turtle island - where turtles lay their eggs - this beach is under the protection of UNESCO, you can even swim in a string of fish ! ! ! Monastery - Kykkos, St. Hilarion. We spent 2 days driving to all places (at 10 am we left until 11 pm).
Be sure to take a bike ride to Cape Greco - it's next to Ayia Napa - a natural and very beautiful reserve !! ! ! Photos are magical!!!!! ! !
4) Car rental - prices are generally the same everywhere, depending on what kind of car you will take. Of course, a jeep is better - better cross-country ability, we took a Toyota Yaris - we were satisfied - where the jeep climbs, there it is ! ! ! ! We took in the office - how to go to the center, there is also a cage with a parrot near the store. One man is half Russian, the second Cypriot, in two days we paid 70 euros. Gasoline is certainly expensive in this country - there are only 95.98 and 100 (!!! ! ! ! - for ferrari and other high-speed cars), 92 - there is none at all. Prices from 1.295 euros. In two days we filled up almost a full tank only 2 times, drove 800 km. If anything - at night refueling machines work - that is, there is no chela that accepts money - only a machine! And then we didn’t know - we arrived at a couple of gas stations - there was no one, everything was closed, the light in the office was on with the computer ....

buzzed, rang, knocked, shouted - so they probably laughed at us)))))) But it turned out - that everything is simple))))))))))))

Hope the review is helpful! The main thing is not to bother with trifles, tune in to a super-summer vacation, to the turquoise sea and good mood!! ! ! ! In Cyprus, it's all there in abundance!!!!! ! ! ! We liked everything soooo much - we just didn’t want to leave, but of course, thanks to the Nissi Park hotel for the 10 days that sheltered us - a very nice, cool and cozy three-star hotel, which can be safely put a solid 4 plus !!!!!! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !

P. S. If you have any questions about the hotel or just about Cyprus in general, I will be happy to tell you, I will answer)))))!!!!!!!!! ! ! !
