Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is quite consistent with the "stars" in the description. We (we traveled with my daughter, 15 years old) did not have any problem situations during our stay at the hotel. Settled in a room quickly, the room turned out to be of the category, as we were promised in the travel agency when buying a tour (no 15-20 euro-dollars had to be paid extra, as happens in Egypt). The room is spacious with a large balcony. Air conditioning, hair dryer, iron worked. Friendly staff at reception, mostly English speaking. We talked with Alexandra, she speaks Russian very well.
The food at the hotel is varied and tasty. We paid for breakfast and dinner (this is the most convenient option, because dinners do not differ in a wide variety of dishes). 2 times a week, the organizers arrange dinners by the pool, when you can try zivania (grape vodka) and a variety of grilled dishes (meat, vegetables). At this time, national Cypriot (or Greek? ) music is played, and by the end of the evening - dancing. A lot of fruits - watermelons, melons, grapes of 2-3 types, pineapples, oranges and grapefruits, peaches, apples, pears, plums. There were no bananas, it was not yet the season. In general, very hearty and delicious breakfasts and dinners, it is impossible to stay hungry.
As for the beach: the most important thing about this hotel is the free umbrellas and sunbeds. And there was enough space for almost everyone. There are 3 options for relaxing on the beach during the day: by the pool, on the grass under palm trees and just on the sand (there are umbrellas and sun loungers everywhere). The pool is mostly rested by the British and others. They come to take places from 6 to 7 in the morning. I don’t know what attracts them there, but breathing bleach from the pool all day long is what kind of health you need to have? Here on the grass or on the sand, overlooking the sea - this is paradise! It's cooler on the grass, because it is watered every evening, and even the shade from palm trees and umbrellas - you can relax all day without fear of getting burned. And the sun is evil there from 12 to 16 days, this time is better spent in the shade, no "thirty" saves, especially in the first days of being there. Places on the grass can be taken from 7 to 8. I came at 7.00 to a previously chosen place, threw beach towels and a book there, then you can go to have breakfast. But swimming in the sea there is not very convenient. The entrance from the shore is rocky, huge stones. There is a pontoon from which you can go down to the sea and swim. Those who came to the sea, and not to the pool with bleach, swam here. For those who swim well, no problem. And I need a bottom under my feet, preferably sandy. But still, she swam in the sea. The water is warm and clean. If it were not for the constant waves, there would be no price for such a sea.

Nothing to say about animation. All entertainment is in English. There were performances and games. If you speak English well, then you can participate. In the evenings, my daughter and I walked along the street, along the seashore. Not far from the hotel there are a lot of various taverns, cafes, you will not be bored. You can sit at the bar in the hotel, "live" music every evening.
In general, the rest left the best impressions. I would love to come back to Athena beach again. A week has already passed since the day of returning from vacation, and it seems that somewhere far away there is a warm, sweet, cozy corner and that he is waiting for me to visit again....
If you are interested in any details about the hotel, write to me, I will be happy to answer
