Неделька на Кипре A week in Cyprus

We went to Cyprus for the first time, for a week, with a 5-year-old son.
A week is definitely not enough. For Cyprus - even more so. There is such a relaxing atmosphere here that you need to come for at least two weeks.
There were no problems with the tour. We flew by regular Aeroflot, everything was on top, without delays, only early departures, not very convenient, but without traffic jams, delays, in general, there are also advantages. In flight, only three hours with a little - what you need with a child. It seems that they took off, ate, and are already sitting down. The time difference is only an hour, neither adaptation nor acclimatization is needed. We had a comfortable stay, we all enjoyed it.
Sent travel agency ICS, they met the same. Everything is clear, polite, thanks to them.

We chose the hotel ourselves, we needed Al Inclusiv. There are few such options, so our hotel was the most suitable. At first, the hotel, I confess, disappointed. I do not like to compare countries, but the comparison with Turkey suggests itself. The Cypriot hotel is much simpler, a bit old, shabby, sometimes well, just the spitting image of a sanatorium or boarding house, there was such nostalgia. The territory of the hotel is very modest, the leaves of the attackers are not removed promptly, you can’t take a walk, you went out, ten meters and already the beach. Well, here all such hotels are compact, as we understood after walking along the embankment. But our hotel had a very good beach, wide. Sand gray dirty color, unpleasant even at first, squeamish feeling like dirt, but when you get used to it, you understand how small and pleasant it is to the touch. There were no sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, only on the territory, but for free.
Essentially no entertainment. Animators do not run after you, in general, from Al Inclisiv here, in fact, only food without restrictions. Although, what are the restrictions, everything is already sparse and not diverse - the choice is modest. But everything is good and delicious.
The room is normal, everything works, a bit old, but tolerable. The number was changed. At first they gave it to us on the very bottom floor, it was noisy, they asked for a higher one, and they gave us a large room. We paid for the sea view - I consider it important not to hear the noise of the road and to have a pleasant view from the balcony. The refrigerator is paid, we paid for two days, then refused - it barely freezes.
We went to the city, you can take a walk along the embankment, there is a children's park, we are no longer old enough, but there is also a mini-zoo - we went there. They showed us the shopping street, but the road is being repaired and half of the shops are closed.
Of the excursions, we took a boat trip, it was nice, we swam along the island, and bought. And a ride on donkeys. And with our child, what else you take, it will be hard for him. On donkeys - just right, it was fun for everyone, both for him and for us. And ride and have fun. In general, I liked it.
In general, from rest, despite some criticality in my story, the best memories. Time is running short, the week is quickly over. As a result, they got used to the hotel, everything is not so scary. But you need to understand that this is not Turkey for you. To avoid disappointment!
