Достойный отель и денег своих 100% стоит Decent hotel and 100% worth your money

Good day to all! this is the second time my wife and I are in Cyprus and the choice of a hotel was difficult, because the first time my wife and I rested in the 5-star Grecian Park 5 * and believe me, there is something to compare with. When choosing, I took into account that I have a child of 4 years old and so the choice fell on Tofinis 4 *. The reviews were controversial but I decided to check them out anyway. Let's go: A voucher for 10 nights, breakfasts and dinners, a flight from St. Petersburg cost 137 thousand rubles. Well, they took 50 thousand rubles with them for small expenses. I was worried about the weather, because in October the weather may already change. The tour operator was Biblio Globus and I will say that the organization is at the highest level. Upon arrival, we were met, directed in the direction of the bus, placed and taken to the hotel. travel time about 50 minutes. but not stressful at all because the air conditioner worked and it was not hot. also on the way the guide told what was happening and a lot of useful information. Upon arrival, the guide politely asked if possible to leave a tip to the driver and in general leave tea for the entire rest, at least 1 euro. So we entered the Hotel and, as already mentioned in the reviews, this is about the reception staff with a little knowledge of Russian, but still nice. When buying a ticket, we asked for a room for three with a sea view and did not fail, the advice is to overpay a little and get an excellent clean room with modern furniture and quality service, in the process of relaxing and communicating with people, I realized that there is a big difference in the rooms, those with sea ​ ​ view or water park view.....We had some kind of Bulgarian cleaning lady, we periodically left her a euro or 2 euros every other day and got a good cleaning and a change of towels. The room has air conditioning. The balconies are simply gorgeous, we had a transparent one)) In general, what expenses will you have, this is a safe in the room - I recommend 2 euros per day and we kept all the valuables and cash in it. beach towels were taken at the reception for the entire stay, it cost 2 euros per towel (we did not hand them over until the end of the stay), an iron at the reception is free of charge upon request. Upon arrival at the hotel late in the evening around 21.00 we were sent to finish the leftovers from the evening buffet. Important !!! ! drinks are not given for dinner, or you take 2 euros from them for a glass of juice or bring your own, as I understand it, they don’t care. I really liked breakfasts because. I took fried ham, croissants, scrambled eggs, juices, and all sorts of tasty treats. Dinners at the hotel are themed every evening, i. e. there is a fish day, Cypriot, Italian, Mexican, etc. Of the dinners, I was delighted with the Italian))) We always went to dine in different places, it’s more interesting: there is tavern Evinos there are quite tolerable prices, they took soup for 4 euros with a bun, och. delicious desserts there for 4 euros. I advise you to take a walk towards Ayanapa, all bars have menus posted on the street, including menus in Russian. A lot of Russians who work in eateries, it's easy to communicate. We received the most delicious soup and a compliment at the Elena restaurant, plus there are reasonable prices, a Russian guy is a waiter, a trampoline for kids right in the restaurant, in general I recommend it. On average, dinners went from 18 to 27 euros for three. for one lunch. With regards to excursions, I won’t write anything, because the guide will tell you a lot about it at the meeting. The pool is great, but in the morning the water was a little cool and we were more lying on the free sunbeds. There is a paid bar, they gave 5.5 euros for 2 juices and a package of chips. By the evening, there is a lot of garbage and plastic lying around the pool, because foreigners are just pigs, they don’t clean up after themselves, but suck on alcohol all day long. Sea!! ! walk 10 minutes from the hotel slowly. there are showers, everything is decent. After 15.00 we went to the sea, we saw that from now on the beach does not require a fee for sunbeds and umbrellas (1 sunbed 2.5 euros umbrella 2.5 euros), but I will say that the sea is sooooo cool warm and comfortable sandy entry, I want to spend the whole day there. There is a water park on the territory of the hotel, but it is more made for those who have all-inclusive, or just enter, you can also enjoy the pleasure of 25 euros / person, which is insanely expensive by our standards. In the evening after dinner, we walked around the city and rode the bus, 1.5 / person ticket, to the amusement park in Ayanapa. In the Lunopark, tokens are accepted 1E = 1 token, different rides cost 2-3 euros on average. Important: the amusement park is open from 18.00 not earlier!! ! Limousine taxi drivers dart around the city asking for about 5 euros +/-. In the center, if you walk from the hotel in 10-15 minutes, there are large markets "Plus" and others where you can buy anything from food to household chemicals. For prices, I’ll generally say this, if you are looking for the best price for a particular product, then believe me, the difference between the stores is not very big, they apparently have such a policy. so do not think that in the shop under the hotel they will sell much more expensive than in the center of ayanapa. Bottle of water liter 0.85E. Also in the evening, until late at night, the evening bar with music and dancing and boozy foreigners prevented us from sleeping. We had the 4th floor, but I can imagine who lived on the 2nd floor, it's just a nightmare. The hotel has a children's room, well, there's nothing special there, so draw, and that's all. The girl animator does not know Russian - do not leave the child in this room! But overall friendly staff and good service. Wi-fi is terrible ((although there is in the room and throughout the hotel. Refrigerators are paid 2E / day - it was written at the reception, but for some reason we didn’t pay anything for it.... The weather in the flesh until October 10 was amazing and comfortable the sun is +27 - +30 in the daytime and +18 in the evening. A little cooler at night. In general, the best time to relax with children is for sure. You can tell a lot and for a long time, but it's time to finish this story, the departure was early at 5 in the morning, the bus was also comfortable, the entire brand library globe arrived on time, the guide was broadcasting all the time on the way, and of course, don't forget to tip the driver at the end, you still have a trifle will remain, but in Russia no one will take it from you in banks, so feel free to part with it at least in duty free)) Before leaving, we were given a dry ration (bread, cheese, cucumber). Rossiya Airlines, the feeding is simply terrible, people are simply fed by Mr. . oh sorry. Have a good rest and mood!!! )) The hotel is worth the money, the main thing is not to save much on the room, to whom it is important.
