I (I'm 19) rested with my mother at the very beginning of July. Unforgettable impressions from both the country and the resort with the hotel!
But first things first.
Despite the fact that we arrived at the hotel at about 4 in the morning, and check-in from 14 (or 12, I don’t remember, we were immediately given a room and fed an unpaid breakfast in the morning.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. There is a wardrobe, a bed, 2 bedside tables, a lot of different lamps (both by the bed, and above the bed, and in the corridor... ), which can be turned on without getting off the bed - the switches are located on the back of the bed - very convenient - no need to stretch anywhere, ottoman, 2 armchairs, table, mirror, TV with Russian channel, hairdryer, refrigerator (it cooled, but the freezer did not work), air conditioning, balcony with table and chairs, bath, shower, etc. It was not convenient that there was only 1 outlet - either a hairdryer or a refrigerator works. But this did not bother us - we both cooled and charged, and so on. They cleaned every day, changed towels every day (2 small, 2 large, 2 beach and foot mat), changed linen 3 times. The maids are very friendly, many speak Russian, laid out very beautiful swans from towels.
Our room was overlooking the road - but we always had a shade, unlike rooms with sea views.
We had 2 meals a day - breakfast and dinner - we had enough and did not want to anymore.
You can have breakfast both on the terrace and inside. They gave scrambled eggs (fried in front of you), scrambled eggs, fried bacon, sausages, meatballs, stewed tomatoes (very tasty), yogurts, homemade cottage cheese, a variety of muesli, melons, watermelons, juicy dried fruits, cheeses, sausages... And pastries - 4 types hot buns, especially delicious with marmalade! Those who ate on the terrace were served coffee in thermos cups.
Dinners were great! If the breakfasts were quite monotonous, then dinner was a flight of fancy: duck in peaches, chicken in wine sauce, casseroles, soups, vegetables, salads with seafood (a lot of mussels, oysters, squid, fish, but fresh pasta. . . Always 2 types of pizzas - lick your fingers!
Desserts - cakes, jellies, whipped cream, pies, profiteroles with hot chocolate ice cream, ice cream... Fruits... There were evenings of Italian cuisine - my head was spinning from various dishes...
But! If you do not have all inclusive, then you have to pay for drinks at dinner. We didn't take drinks - we ate juicy melons and watermelons.
There is a swimming pool - clean, tidy, where water aerobics and other games are held. Near the pool for kids.
There are sun loungers near the pools, and under the palm trees, and on the beach.

Separately, it must be said about the beach - along the sea there is a path for evening walks, which goes through all the hotels. We walked and walked and came to the conclusion that the beach in our hotel was the best - there was a smooth entry into the clear water along the sand, there was also a staircase from a wooden pier, from where you can immediately dive into a deep place. The rest of the hotels had either rocks with a wobbly plastic container pier, or seaweed by the beach. The sand is clean, but the strip of sand is not very large - this is good - there are few neighbors around =)) Of course, umbrellas, sun loungers...
Near the spit, on which there is a water sports center with parachutes (30 euros), jet skis (10 euros), etc. The instructors are young and pretty =))
I don’t know about discos - I’m not interested, I didn’t go. Animation is, and, fortunately, not very intrusive.
The reception is always happy to help - prompt, explain, draw a plan. They understand both Russian and English.
Next to Riu Cypria Resort is Riu Cypria Bay. You can freely go there and swim in their pools.
Behind the hotel across the road there is a shop with food and souvenirs, numerous cafes, bars - but the hotel feeds from the heart, so we didn't need them.
The bus to Paphos costs 1 euro, it takes 10 minutes, we went for a walk in the city ourselves and everything looked great without a guide, with the help of a map.
We didn't want to leave. We hope to return again.
