Удачный отдых с семьёй Good vacation with family

Family vacation in June. It took a long time to choose between hotels located in the city and between those in the "suburb". This hotel has won over food (the system in the hotel is only "all inclusive") and the beach. Here, of course, I’ll make a reservation - there are two neighboring hotels, formally each has its own territory adjacent to the beach - it’s just that there is sand in one place and stones in the other. It is possible for hotel guests to move between these territories, but now, if you came from the street, just like that, then you won’t be able to get to the sea - that is. the abundance of strangers on the beach is excluded. Our children are 5 and 7 years old, so the kids club and animation are not in last place for us - we have it all. Another point, where they wrote in many places that there is Russian-speaking staff. Let's say right away - no, because. “greeting” and “farewell” can only cause a smile on the faces of vacationers, but in no way be the answer to the questions “how to get to Nicosia? ” or "tell me the opening hours of the water park. " On the territory there are also a fresh water pool, one indoor which is heated during the cold months, an amphitheater, which also hosts evening animations or other events. I note a good gym - my husband was pleased! Stunning sunsets open from the upper and lower terraces! If anything, - a safe in the room for a deposit of 5 euros, and you will have to buy an adapter yourself in the store - 1 euro. But Wi-Fi is tight: 1 day costs 3 euros, 2 days - 5, a week - 10. A couple of times they still took it - call relatives, check mail, answer messages.
The hotel itself is located on the first coastline, we pass the main road to the side - so there were no extra annoying sounds. It seems to be already on the outskirts of the city, but nevertheless everything is close - on one side Coral Bay with pebble coves, on the other - Paphos itself, its historical part, with all the sights. The only moment, since in 2017 the city was chosen as the cultural capital of Europe, the local authorities are diligently “cultivating” - in some places impressive repairs are being carried out. But this did not bother us much, but for people who lived opposite such roads, there was probably a slight discomfort)
Since the children are small, bus trips have disappeared by themselves. It’s a pity, of course, because I would really like to see the monasteries in the foothills of the Troodos, and we could go to Nicosia and look into the northern part of the island, but apparently we’ll leave this for our next visit. We went to the zoo on our own (I’ll say right away, for such a small island, it’s a very good zoo - there are a lot of animals, there is a playground, a parrot show - 2-2.5 hours is enough for a visit) and a water park (we were also satisfied, entertainment for children in just right; they called a taxi, about 17 euros one way, on the way back we stopped in the city - to have a bite to eat in a cafe, from there it was already 1.5 euros per person by bus to the hotel). Since we went for 10 days, we didn’t want to stay at the hotel all the time - we asked the hotel guide to send for some kind of boat trip. So we sailed to the caves on the Black Pearl together with a team of pirates - the children are happy - they bought themselves, played enough, ate fruits, sang songs.

The rest was 4 ++, because there is no limit to perfection and we are just discovering Cyprus for ourselves!
