We rested at the Dionisos Hotel on May 18-25.2018. Standard room, breakfast-dinner meals.
The hotel is VERY well located. Everything is nearby: the promenade, the beach, public transport stops, attractions within walking distance, a church, a supermarket, shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, etc. The hotel itself is comfortable and cozy. The pool is big enough for swimming. It is very convenient to sunbathe in the hotel. Sun loungers are free for guests. There is enough space for everyone.
On the first day, due to a late arrival, we did not have time for dinner a little. The hotel gave us a voucher for lunch. As well as a compliment from the hotel - a voucher to the restaurant at the hotel for two drinks to choose from.

The room was dark, the lighting was very weak, the hair dryer did not turn on. In the morning we reported this to the reception. By 11 o'clock everything was fixed: they replaced ALL the lamps, made a hair dryer and additionally the electrician checked the TV remote control, replaced the batteries.
The standard room furniture is not new. The bed bases are worn. But everything is clean, neat, tidy. Change of bed linen and towels, cleaning daily.
Food: very tasty, with a good selection of dishes for all tastes. For breakfast, you can collect a full English breakfast from the provided products, or a light yoghurt with fruit. Juice and coffee from the machine, and tea will be brought on request.
We had breakfast and dinner included. Dinner does not include drinks. But they can be ordered during dinner for a price comparable to neighboring cafes and paid for on departure. Or (which is convenient) after dinner, leave the hotel and immediately, a few steps away, settle down in another cafe or restaurant, closer to the sea and enjoy the scenery and drink your favorite drink. We went to an Indian restaurant. It's nearby. Or the Penguino Restaurant. It's two steps away. And there it is very tasty, large portions, discounts for regular customers. The card was issued to us for the second time visiting. The portions are very large.
Hotel staff: Very attentive and friendly girls at the reception, and the staff in the cafe and restaurant of the hotel, and the maids. Everyone is very attentive and careful. They smile. Welcome.
Separate respect to the administrators at the reception. Nadia and Valentina are smart. Nadia is generally a soul-person.
Vacationers: calm Britons (former colonizers who are comfortable with left-hand traffic and do not need adapters for sockets, because they have the right ones right away. ) And serious Russians. Compatriots, learn to enjoy the rest and show this joy on your face.
Municipal beaches. Sand and pebble. More sandy in front of 4-5 star hotels. You can walk to them. Corals are not required. We only used it when we went to the birthplace of Aphrodite. But there are comfortable stretches of the beach.

You can sunbathe on the beach on your towel. No one will comment on you. There were vacationers who bought a beach umbrella and moved along the beaches "all their own. "
The waterfront is very pleasant. If you go left (along the line of hotels), then take off your shoes. The stones do not heat up and the covering of the paths along the beaches does not burn the feet. Not a speck, not a stone. Walk barefoot for fun.
The sea was cold. Where there are breakwaters and a gentle entrance, the water warms up by lunchtime. However, even in the morning it is warmer than in our homes of lakes and rivers in the hot summer. In June, the sea will be very comfortable.
Visit the archaeological museum. It is better to go with a guide or read in advance about the beautiful mosaics that you will see there.
Go on excursions. Fascinatingly. Tasty. Comfortable. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of visiting a donkey farm. It's fun. We thought it was fun for kids. It turned out that adults were also interested in it. After a ride on donkeys, you will be served delicious food and wine. Your kids will be entertained by a second guide. Thanks to Jan and Monica! And you can dance for pleasure yourself and look at the skill of a dancer with glasses on his head (12 glasses + kylo or + bottles or + stool).
A boat trip and swimming in the Blue Lagoon is a great way to spend your holidays and beautiful landscapes.
Sea! It is pure. Everywhere is clean! Beautiful. All shades of blue, turquoise, blue and ultramarine. Let your eyes enjoy this wondrous beauty. That's what I go to the sea for. Look - look at the sea.
A bonus for cyclists in Paphos: excellent cycle paths around the city. Rent a bike and here's to you: mobility, sports, tanning.
Public transport - buses. They go right on schedule. You can independently explore a lot in the city and suburbs.
Aquapark. Very comfortable. If you are with children, then this is a must. On the day of the visit, you can buy a ticket with a 50% discount for the next visit.
Mobile communications and the Internet. Communication is excellent even at sea during a walk. Connect to the Internet for free at the Royal Cafe or Penguino and use it.

Safety: we didn't meet anything or anyone dangerous. Everyone around is friendly.
Local residents, workers of shops and restaurants are calm and hospitable. Many speak Russian. At least a little. If not, then very quickly they will call someone who will help overcome the language barrier. Communicate with pleasure.
There is entertainment for all ages. Night discos with fireworks did not interfere with us, with the balcony door closed, the sound insulation was good.
Cats. A lot of them. They everywhere. There are about 8 showers in our hotel. Each has its own habitat. One gray cat "Experienced" had dinner, breakfast and lunch. The rest in their habitat ate 1-2 times a day. Vacationers actively feed them. But the cats are thin (except for Experienced). Many cats are not very healthy. We, as experienced cat breeders, see this. They should be treated. Cats in Cyprus are not considered pets. A skinny "Stage" lived near our corps. Always met and escorted at the entrance. Affectionate and sociable. Greetings and strokes are always from the heart. A cat and a kitten live on its territory.
Flights from Yekaterinburg-Larnaca and back were exactly on time. It pleased. Previously, we often encountered flight delays.
Many thanks to Inna Mishina (travel agency "7 Continents"), as well as the Biblio-globus company and his guide at the hotel Evgenia Zhdanova, guides Ekaterina, Yana, Monika and the drivers who accompanied us on excursions.
