Hotel ratings by criteria:
Out of season, and therefore there were no Russians at all, some Germans, mostly over 50. There were no young people at all, mostly families. Although Ayia Napa is considered a youth resort, I don’t know, maybe yes in the season. There are no Russian-speaking staff at the hotel, so those who have problems with English or German are hard to explain for half an hour. The service staff is not bad, everyone smiles at you, they say "good early" in the morning. There is only one female waitress Maria (the rest of the waiters are men) who remembers your whims from the first day of your stay. Head damn cool guy. Only one bartender let us down. He is already aged and we wondered how they still keep such a stupid person in a hotel, probably someone's relative. He apparently does not like Russians very much, some unfaithful Russian soul in a drunken stupor got to the bottom of him. When he found out that we were Russians, he immediately began to sing the song "I am a lublu loaf, I am a lublu loaf". What fool taught him that phrase.
In general, the hotel is not bad, especially for those who are the first time abroad. You definitely won't be disappointed. We had all inclusive and we had a great time there. Food is constant. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at a certain time, and between them in the dining room from early morning until late at night, and maybe at night (did not check), hot snacks. Hungry at any time went and had a snack. And we ate there, ate and ate (there is always hunting in nature). And when they arrived home, after weighing themselves, they gasped, then in recent days, the clothes have become cramped.
Another thing we used for free is a tennis court, ping-pong, a gym, though it’s hard to call it a hall, but there were 3-4 simulators and a treadmill, by the way, quite decent, electric. You have to pay for the rest, by the way, you also need to pay 1 pound per day for a safe in the room, which is a surprise for some at the end of the holiday.

You can rent a car. It's certainly not cheap, but it's worth it. You can take a smaller and more economical car, in the sense of gasoline, but then you will travel around the entire island yourself, you will not depend on anyone, where you want to go and go, and they went with their excursions, they are painfully expensive. You just need to find out in advance where you can go. And if you also came to rest with a company, let's say 2-3 couples, then it's even more profitable. It is better to take a car for a few days, the longer, the cheaper the rental.
It is better to change money in the city itself, at the hotel and with the guide, the exchange rate is less favorable. In Ayia Napa, about shopping tube, one is China. And this China is 3 times more expensive than ours. Therefore, if you rent a car, then in a non-resort area you can find decent branded things. And more about medical insurance. Be sure to take insurance, God forbid something happens, medicine is expensive there. And so it is worth making a phone call and in 10-20 minutes you will have a doctor in your room. Well, that's probably all, otherwise you can write a lot more.
