Normal hotel, good for the elderly and families with small children. Clean, quiet, excellent breakfast. We had half board, in vain, it is better to dine in the city. At dinner in the restaurant SEATED: i. e. you enter, there is a "manager" who asks how many of us and points to a table. I didn’t want to sit on the aisle, but I had to, it was uncomfortable. There was no wifi in the room, we sat downstairs. We were not alone : o)) There are scales for luggage (1 or 2 euros for one weighing).
We chose the hotel because of the proximity to the sea - a mistake, the sea is cold (end of August! ), not transparent, a lot of algae, the beach is unkempt, sun loungers, umbrellas are old. They cost like everywhere else - 2.5 euros per unit, together 7.5 euros per day. There is an excellent path along the sea in both directions, it goes very far, you can ride a bicycle along it, but in Aloe bicycles are expensive and without locks, so it’s better to take them in the city.
The hotel has excellent pools, good sunbeds (although they had to be borrowed early), cleaning, friendliness of the staff - everything is fine. There is a free ironing board, a small fitness room, paid sauna. The air conditioner in the room worked great.

Waiters strained, persistently inviting to evening events (Cypriot evening, magicians, etc. ). I understand they are obligated, but I didn't like it. Hanging in the elevator poster and that's enough. The anti-feminine uniform of the waitresses also surprised me.
There were a lot of elderly overweight people in the hotel.
There are no maps of the surroundings in the hotel, but there are many places in the city where you can take. Information on transport, buses and timetables is also not available. Those. hotel - as if closed on itself.
Around: bus 1.5 euro trip. Day pass 5 euros throughout the Paphos area. Tickets are sold by the driver upon boarding. At the bus station "Karavella" Russian-speaking workers advise, give a schedule in Russian. For 5 euros you can get to Aphrodite's bath (on Akamas) with transfers, to Polis, to Aphrodite's rock (without transfers for 1.5 euros, 40 minutes), to Coral Bay (it's better to go there, and don't go to the nearest beach at all). In the port near the medieval fort there is a stage where in the first days of September there are opera performances, sometimes concerts.
Movies are sometimes shown on the beach in the evening. sunbeds are unfolded on the house, where shower-toilets install a huge screen.
Excursions, with a hotel guide, of course, are the most expensive, there are plenty of places nearby with the same offers at a more friendly price. Walking around the city, we came across very pleasant prices, such as 19 euros for a trip to Kykkos with stops somewhere else. On the beach and at the hotel you can find a driver with a car, Nikolai, who once moved from Georgia, with good Russian, he takes four people in a car, drives around the island, it was 140 euros (35 per person).
