Осень на Кипре Autumn in Cyprus

Rested at the Cavo Maris Beach Hotel from October 19 to October 31.2016, a married couple of retirement age. In Cyprus for the fifth time, each time we choose a hotel in a new place: Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, Ai-Napa and, finally, Protaras. Again, they did not fail with the hotel. Despite the 4 stars, the service and the territory of the hotel are all 5 *. Even 5 * hotels rarely have such a large and green area. The hotel is located on the outskirts of Protaras, to the center, where there are many shops, cafes and restaurants, on foot 20-30 minutes or by bus 5-7 minutes. The hotel staff is very friendly, there are Russian-speaking managers. We booked a room through an agency without a specific view, but on the spot we exchanged it with a surcharge for a room with a side sea view (we highly recommend this option, because we got acquainted with all the accommodation options). The rooms are clean, after renovation, bed linen is changed 3 times a week, towels are changed at the request of the client. , kettle, thermos for water, hairdryer (not in the bathroom) tea accessories, tea-coffee-sugar for 5 days (further on request free of charge). There are enough places for things. In the bathroom: shampoo, gel, soap, shower cap, plastic cups, two towels per person + foot mat. WI-FI in the room and throughout the hotel is free and hassle-free.
The restaurant corresponds to 4 *. We took half board (dinners, according to vacationers, are very modest). Full breakfasts: porridge - 2 types, yogurt - 2, cold cuts - 4, cheese - 3, greens, tomatoes / cucumbers / peppers; hot: scrambled eggs, sausages-2 types, scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, beans, boiled eggs. Canned fruits, pastries, tea / coffee, juices. In general, you definitely won’t stay hungry. For children (and the age of the children at the hotel was from a month and... ) in the morning there are cereals, yogurts, breakfast cereals, scrambled eggs. In the evening, the children's table includes french fries, potato and chicken croquettes, and nuggets as standard. For the younger ones there is soup, vegetables, and meat. Dinners are varied, dishes partially change every day: meat, chicken, fish, seafood, various side dishes, salads, vegetables, fruits (5 types), pastries, ice cream (5-6 types and very delicious! ). Service at the level of a 5 * hotel: in the evening, the restaurant manager escorts you to your place at the table, the waiter immediately comes running to order drinks, dirty plates are removed with lightning speed. Minus, in our opinion: there is no wine list and you can not order a bottle of wine to leave for 2-3 dinners. Previously, in all the hotels in Cyprus where we were, such a service was provided in the restaurant. There are no a la carte restaurants in the hotel. There are only bars, and a la carte is the food that you can order at the bar or lobby bar from the menu (soups, kebabs, burgers, french fries, children's menu, desserts, etc. ).
In the evenings, theme evenings are held on the summer veranda: circus, Cypriot and Greek dances, illusion, variety performers, etc. For younger children there is a disco.

The hotel does not have its own beach, as EVERYWHERE in Cyprus, all beaches are municipal with paid sun loungers (2.5 € or 5 per couple + umbrella)). Therefore, there are many free sun loungers on the beach, as well as free ones by the pool, on the green lawns on site. Those who do not want to spend money can sit on towels by the sea. The entrance to the sea is gentle, the water is turquoise and transparent, during our stay the water was t = 24-25, and the air 26-28.
Across the street from the hotel there is a Best Buy supermarket where you can buy baby food, diapers, some medicines, fruits, meat, milk, souvenirs, hygiene products, sweets, alcohol, cigarettes, toys. There is also a small shop on site. Bus stop next to the hotel. Small cons that can be found in any hotel, block the huge pluses. We definitely recommend this hotel, especially for families with small children (children 9-15 years old will be bored), couples and single tourists who want a quiet relaxing holiday without the fuss and noise of civilization.
