Location: relative to the sandy beach of Coral Bay, 15 minutes by bus and 20 minutes (maximum) from the port of Paphos. Near the highway and stops (50 meters). There is no noise from the road. Coral Bay beach (the closest of the sandy ones) is not large, the entry is gentle, the bottom is sand. If with children of primary school age, then only there. Take umbrellas and sunbeds with you. Rent of sunbeds and local umbrellas - 2.5 euros per item.
There is no sandy beach near the hotel (the problem of the whole of Paphos is 25 km). The wave near the shore is big, for 2 weeks we could not swim with the children on the nearest beach (5 minutes from the hotel on foot), the bottom with large boulders, you can get very seriously injured.
Territory: courtyard with palm trees and banana trees, a small courtyard with two tables for table tennis. There is a pool, small, monitor the cleanliness of the bottom, clean. I can’t say about the disinfection of water and its purification, the smell of des. did not feel the funds. There is a green field with a volleyball net. For a hotel like this, it's great.

Rooms. Everything worked, incl. 2 air conditioners are in good condition, bed linen is changed regularly every 3-4 days, towels are changed daily. Take your own shampoos - they save. Cleaning for 4 points. Air conditioners in every room (2).
We took a room without meals. The hotel took only ice cream, water - 4 euros for 6 bottles (in the store from 1.5 to 2 euros). Products were bought at the LIDL supermarket, which is 10-15 minutes by bus, and in PAPANTONIO - the final stop of the 615 bus route. If you want to calculate the cost of food for self-cooking - multiply by a factor of 2 - 2.5 the cost of your set of products in Russia.
We were not bothered by self-cooking, since everything for this was in the room (stove, dishes, refrigerator, etc. ).
Sea. The stone beaches are clean, super, better than on the coast of Turkey, although the sea seems to be the same, and colder. If you love fishing, feel free to take a fishing rod.
ADVIСE:
Excursions: - do not take excursions from your tour operator (went with a Pegasus), the cost is 2 times more expensive (at least) than from local organizers. We took excursions at the office at the final stop of the 615 bus route - at Ruslan Travel. Comfortable buses, Russian-speaking staff. Class. For comparison: Pegaras have an excursion to Limassol - 75 euros per person, and Ruslan Travel - 35 euros, etc. ;
- I advise you to independently visit the excavation park area located directly at the port of Paphos, you will not be limited in time;
- the most dishonorable contingent of the locals are taxi drivers: they can say one amount before getting into a taxi (as it was with us - 5 euros), and upon arrival at the place it turns out they have to pay 2 times more (10 euros). Take change money with you, taxi drivers will definitely find a reason not to give change!!!
- food in cafes (I can’t call restaurants, as some call them there) is unreasonably expensive. A full dinner for 4 people will cost at least 100 to 200 euros.
Have a good rest.
