Рейтинги отеля завышены The hotel rating is too high

I rested at the Cynthiana Beach Hotel (Cyprus, Paphos) from May 27 to June 03.2019. I chose the hotel in advance, based on reviews and price. In my opinion, the positive reviews for the hotel are overrated. I can’t say that this hotel has wonderful and very helpful staff, I didn’t see this, the reception is more or less friendly, but the Russian-speaking woman meets with a forced smile, her appearance is rather repulsive. In the restaurant, the male waiters are friendly, but the women, almost all ages, with sour faces, look untidy and have terribly varicose legs, they are dressed in white shirts and black skirts above the knee, and when such a waitress comes up to you for service, you want to she quickly left, especially seeing her varicose legs and untidy hair (I understand that this is from work, but...... ). The choice of dishes is meager, monotonous, there is practically no seafood (in neighboring hotels of the same star rating there were always seafood, rolls, etc. ), but everything is delicious, especially oatmeal for breakfast. The tables in the restaurant are almost all wobbly, on the terrace they are stable. If for some reason you don’t have time for breakfast (anything happens), the restaurant will not even give you coffee from a coffee machine, but will send you to a bar on the beach, and if you don’t have all-inclusive, then coffee will be paid, not to mention some pastry for him. Cutlery is not very well washed, there are stains on the tablecloths, but I am writing this for picky tourists. At lunch and dinner, drinks are paid, if you ask for water in a glass, which is free, you will be brought chlorinated from the tap. The room is good, everything has been freshly renovated, the furniture has been changed (this year they plan to renovate the last building with its own pool, everything is still tired there), the room has panoramic windows on the entire wall, the sea view is beautiful, there are no smells of sewage, ants, cockroaches too no (two small ants ran through the bathroom a couple of times), hot water around the clock, cleaned every day, BUT !!!! ! The audibility in the rooms is simply amazing, the feeling that the neighbors are sitting in your room, even when they are talking quietly, and this is everywhere, keep this in mind those who are vacationing with children. You will be lucky if there are no neighbors nearby, behind my wall there were Germans who came from the bar after one in the morning, thundered, bazaared and turned on the TV. The rooms are laminate everywhere, the double bed consists of two single beds, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable, there is carpet in the corridors, the elevators are tired and dirty. Wi-fi is good and free, there were interruptions, but even caught in the room. The beach is normal, but there are not enough sunbeds, the sea is almost always restless and cold in this place, at the end of May the water temperature even in the lagoon was 21-22 degrees, it was very invigorating, it’s cold for children to swim and go down to the lagoon is not very convenient, especially for small ones (some parents with small children we went to Coral Bay, where the water is warmer and the entry into the sea is more gentle). A little further away from the main beach there is a concrete platform, where locals like to fish, there is a lot of garbage lying on it, and further along the coast there is a lot of garbage thrown out of the sea, no one cleans it up, which greatly spoils the view from the windows of the sea. There is a small but well-maintained playground, fenced with shrubs and trees. I had a case in the bar: I was sitting with one girl Olya and her daughter at a table, we met at the hotel, they had all inclusive, I had breakfast and dinner. Olya took a drink for herself and a non-alcoholic cocktail for her daughter, she did not want to drink it and Olya offered it to me to drink, I did not refuse. In less than two minutes, a Russian-speaking waitress with an unpleasant face approached our table and began to find out why I drink a drink for free. When my neighbor Olya said that it was she who treated me, she began to say that she had no right to treat anyone, that next time she would pay or talk to the hotel authorities, in general, there were real threats, we were shocked by such pettiness and "service", as if we were already drunk with drinks for the evening !!! ! After the story in the bar, I firmly decided that this hotel is no longer a foot. Bottom line: the hotel is VERY tight-fisted, apparently such owners save on everything, in the bar on the beach, first of all, they serve those who pay, and those who have everything inclusive pretend that they don’t notice, there are extra charges for everything: a kettle in the room, refrigerator, safe, deposit 5 euros for an adapter, water only for breakfast is free and not chlorinated. At lunch and dinner, the waiters constantly write down the room number, they can come up three times for dinner, which is very annoying. The hotel area is not perfectly clean, and the hotel itself is no longer new, rather modest. The hotel itself is out of the way, behind the hotel the views are not very attractive, there are taverns, two supermarkets and that's it. There is nothing to walk and see. To the center of Paphos you need to go by bus 615 for 20 minutes. I must say that the guide Tatyana Zhukova and other girls from Biblioglobus work wonderfully, everyone is friendly, they will tell you everything, they will explain everything, it was nice to talk with them, although Biblioglobus often transfers flights not in favor of the tourist, and then offers to specify the flight for 30 euros , this is its huge minus. According to the reviews of vacationers from neighboring hotels, at the same price and even cheaper, you can relax at the Princess Vera *** hotel, this is a new hotel, it was very praised, Laura Beach **** (more expensive) and a hotel near Cintiana, I don’t remember the name, it is the next after the last building of Cynthiana and the construction site, from which there is noise, but in August, work is stopped there due to the heat. Draw your own conclusions, some people come here all the time, but you won't give more than *** to the hotel. I will definitely not come here again.
