To begin with, this trip abroad was the first, and besides, with a small child of 10 months! )) in general
we liked the hotel, the room is spacious, there is a kitchen, there is all the utensils. , up to a grater. , a separate bed for a child! The room was cleaned daily, and with high quality, the floors and plumbing were washed, the bed linen was changed. The hotel is made in the form of separate two-story villas and the reception is far away, although this is not a problem . . , anyway, only one person speaks Russian there)))
This hotel is not a party hotel, mostly families with children and adult (elderly) foreigners. There are two swimming pools, we never swam in one.
The entry into the sea is small, you can say there is no beach, everyone is sunbathing near the hotel by the pool, on sun loungers! In general, only Russians and Germans swam in the sea, everyone else in the pool! "the beach" is rocky! Swimming in the sea is easy.

The animation is average, aqua aerobics, water polo, an incomprehensible game of balls)))), tennis and scuba diving on Thursdays. In the evening there is a children's disco, all sorts of shows, but we have never been there. There is a playground for children, there are two slides, rocking chairs, there is a playroom where you can spit and draw, but we have never seen anyone working with the kids, except for the parents, although there is even a class schedule!
Meals... we had breakfasts and dinners. , in principle, this was enough. , although a couple of times my husband was hungry !! ! Breakfast is the same every day. , dinner is more varied, there were several types of meat, there were fish a couple of times, the soup is terrible... it feels like powder... in general, there is no such soup that we are used to. there were always fresh vegetables and fruits, oranges, apples, melons, a couple of times bananas from fruits. Great variety of desserts, delicious ice cream.
The child is on breastfeeding, but with complementary foods, what they took with them was not enough. The child refused local food. , He only ate cucumbers, did not even eat boiled potatoes.
Prices. , in the store on site are naturally high, although you already think when you buy it. , everything is in euros. , milk 2.45 per 0.5 l, ice cream is also from 2 and above. , well, this is all not surprising.
Trips to the city, on a minibus 3.5 euros per person, go for 7-10 minutes, you need to sign up for a minibus in advance at the reception.
We haven't been anywhere in the city, only in the market. Lots of stuff there, souvenirs etc. . .
Young couples without children, Russians, rested at the hotel, they rented a car, rode around Cyprus, arranged excursions for themselves. The movement is left-handed there !! ))) Cool and not familiar...
There were good impressions about Cyprus, the Cypriots are all friendly and love children very much, at first it seemed wild to me. Everyone tried to give something or touch the baby.
The hotel area is not very large, but everything is neat and beautiful, flowers and trees of bizarre shapes!
Not far from the hotel there are ruins, the Tombs of the Kings, we went there, it was impressive. It would be more interesting with a tour, but no one spoke Russian there.
We often walked along the sea, the path goes along the hotels, it is very long.
In the end, I liked everything, a good hotel.
