In July, we rested with my family in Cyprus, at the Crusader Beach Hotel in Limassol. The two main advantages of this hotel are the location and the price. On the first line (the sea is clean) plus in the city center - a great combination! The tour was bought in Natalie, chosen by price - finances do not allow a luxurious vacation now, but I really wanted to go to the Mediterranean. They escorted us, met us well, settled without problems.
The hotel is quite worthy for its three stars. I don’t see the point in taking “all inclusive” - this is a big city, there are a lot of restaurants, bars, etc. around, I want to try everything, portions of hoo. So we took half board. The breakfasts are not bad, although they cannot boast of variety, and the dinners are delicious, not boring. Twice a week at dinner - entertainment in the form of local songs and dances)
We lived in a room with a balcony (a table and two chairs on the balcony) and a side sea view. Number for their money fully satisfied. I didn’t observe any problems with cleanliness described in other reviews - yes, they don’t lick perfectly, like in five stars on the Thai islands, well, the price is appropriate, but there were no obvious flaws - perhaps the euro helped for tea on the very first day and a couple more to come. Linen was changed every 3 days. The plumbing worked well. I didn’t have a chance to meet the cockroaches described in one of the reviews) The staff is friendly, not everyone speaks Russian. Really free WiFi!

The sea is excellent, we swam so much that in the evening everyone had red eyes, I didn’t want to get out. The beach is a stone slab, we didn’t see anything terrible in this, but if you walk a little, you can find sand. The beaches are municipal, so rest on any. Sunbeds by the pool are free. The pool is located in such a way that, while relaxing near it and turning the sunbeds to the sea, you get the feeling that you are lying right on the beach - great.
We were in Cyprus for the first time. Usually we rent a car everywhere, but here we were afraid because of the left-hand traffic. In the end, they decided, and it turned out that you get used to it very quickly. We traveled around everything that we were interested in without any problems. Paphos (with a mandatory visit to the necropolis), Larnaca, Mount Olympus (yes, there is also an Olympus here, but the original, of course, in Greece), the place where Aphrodite came out of the foam - they still swim around the rock of Aphrodite three times to stay forever young) I will not expand on the beauty of nature. The Mediterranean is truly a blessed land and Cyprus is one of the best places to experience it.
