Regarding the organization of recreation and food at the hotel - everything is very detailed and correctly described in previous reviews, so this topic can not be covered. I liked the general atmosphere - very friendly staff, despite the 80% of vacationers are English, the staff try to communicate with you in Russian (they are encouraged for this). The hotel has Russian-speaking waiters, a porter and a tourist manager Elena, who will literally take you by the hand and show you everything. In addition, in each room there is information about the work of all hotel services in Russian (it lies in leather folders on the tables), do not be lazy, read - many questions will disappear by themselves.
The food at the hotel is very varied. We took half board (breakfast + dinner), more than enough. This is a buffet (buffet) with an unlimited number of approaches. The food quality is wonderful. At the entrance to the restaurant, the waiters meet you and seat you at the tables themselves, so take some small things with you - a scarf, a scarf and leave it on the table, because with a large crowd of people you get lost, and you can safely walk around the hall and choose dishes - your no one will take the table. For dinner, it is customary to order wine, juices and other drinks, the waiters first of all offer a wine list. The wine is not very expensive, white table wine is about 7 euros per bottle, you can take a glass of local beer "KEO" - not bad. In the evening, the dress code is observed - men only in trousers, they look askance at ladies in revealing dresses. We went to the center for lunch. There are a lot of cafes, bars, almost all offer a menu in Russian, but quite expensive - about 40-50 euros for two. Sometimes, on especially hot days, we dined at the hotel - the same buffet, payment at the checkout or an appointment for your room. It turned out much cheaper, and most importantly - delicious and a large selection of dishes.
One of the features of the hotel is that children under 16 are not allowed, so there is no animation during the day. In the evening and at lunchtime, there is live music at the open-air bar and restaurant, the boy guitarist performs songs from the 80s and 90s - very pleasant and relaxing. On Fridays, Cypriot evenings - with national dances and an orchestra.

The contingent of vacationers is this - 80% of elderly Englishmen, they go here constantly, as in a sanatorium, there are Germans, very few French and Russians. There is little entertainment, everything is designed for a very, very relaxing holiday.
My husband and I thought for a long time what this hotel resembles, then we realized that it was a boarding house from the movie "Dirty Dancing", when all the staff runs around you, and you sit and do harm.
