Last fall, my husband and I decided to relax in Cyprus. We managed to buy vouchers at very favorable prices from the tour operator TPG, we were very satisfied with the service and the quality of their work. Everything was prompt and well-coordinated, the manager was constantly in touch, helped in resolving all issues. The hotel immediately impressed with the beautiful grounds. Upon arrival, we were greeted very warmly and friendly, the staff at the reception were polite and helpful. Our room is very comfortable and bright. There was everything you need in the room - a large, comfortable bed, a spacious wardrobe, air conditioning, TV, a safe, a kettle, a refrigerator, and more. Bathroom with bathrobes, slippers, a set of cosmetics. Change of towels and bedding is regular. Cleaned up daily. The territory of the hotel is beautifully designed, a lot of greenery, a fairly large and clean swimming pool, a bar, a relaxation area. They were satisfied with the food. Very good variety, fruits, vegetables, meat and stuff. Breakfasts are standard, for lunch there was usually soup, salads, meat, fish, side dishes, vegetables, fruits. Dinners are almost like lunches, but with a large selection of hot dishes, seafood, sweets. Served by attentive and friendly waiters. The beach is very close, clean, the bottom is flat and rather shallow. Since the beach is located in a bay, there are practically no waves. The animation at the hotel can be noted as quite interesting and exciting, but at the same time unobtrusive. Five to ten minutes from the hotel there are several good bars and restaurants where we spent our evenings. I liked the hotel, especially for families, I think it suits well. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to fully relax at a reasonable price.

The best beaches in Cyprus in terms of the location of hotels are Protaras, one can argue, but for me it’s for sure. I can’t call the Golden Coast hotel fashionable, but only positive memories remain from staying here. Half of the rooms with a direct view of the sea, the reverse side is agricultural land, with such a view they settled.

The best beaches in Cyprus in terms of the location of hotels are Protaras, one can argue, but for me it’s for sure. I can’t call the Golden Coast hotel fashionable, but only positive memories remain from staying here. Half of the rooms with a direct view of the sea, the reverse side is agricultural land, with such a view they settled. The standard rooms themselves have updated interiors and furniture, pleasant bedding and furnishings in general, but the balcony is ugly, there was not enough strength to repair it)). The main delight is the beach and the territory of the hotel. Between the building and the beach there are several swimming pools for adults and children, there are also a couple of slides. Further, when descending to the beach, there are 3 terraced areas with sun loungers on the grass under palm trees without crushing for those who do not want to pay on the beach itself, umbrellas and sun loungers are quite decent, there are no problems with beach towels. The beach itself is located in a kind of bay with a relief bottom, shallow sections alternate with deep ones, protected by a breakwater with a walking path from the Church of St. Nicholas, and along the harbor in the other direction. There is a volleyball court on the beach, where animators invite vacationers every day. Yes, yes, Russian-speaking animators, while yoga, aerobics, water polo, darts and bocce are organized, there is a tennis court with equipment rental, all water and motor entertainment. In the evening, either live music, or organized karaoke, or sports on TV on the big screen in the bar near the lobby. There is a separate part of the hotel, so beautiful and so secluded in the greenery, a little away from the main infrastructure, where weddings take place, and they walk until the morning, while absolutely not disturbing other vacationers to sleep peacefully. I liked the cuisine of the hotel, both breakfast and dinner are quite hearty and varied. From the hotel close to the central part of Protaras, you can get out for an evening walk. In general, a moderately active holiday in a comfortable and beautiful place, I recommend it.

In August 2014, we rested in the Golden Coast (in the second building, breakfast + dinner). Pros: - first line, well-groomed beach area with sun loungers, near the bay, clean and calm sea, you can dive with a mask - Russian-speaking staff - a variety of breakfasts and dinners - animation for children (your children will be engaged from morning to evening) - the hotel has shop (essential goods can be purchased there + a few souvenirs + local mobile communications are sold) - standard rooms (there is a balcony, there is a kettle + tea / coffee in the room, a clothes dryer and a large closet where all your suitcases and things will fit, a safe is free) And now I will tell you in general about the location of the hotel and the nuances of the rest.

Excursions You can safely even buy from a tour operator at the hotel a difference of 1-2 euros, there are many points in the city where you can buy tours or rent a car. On average, prices for excursions are from 40 to 70, from 70 to 100 are already more exclusive. The hotel is expensive to rent a car. And now the most interesting thing is that the hotel is located in such a place that there is NOTHING except the hotel and local villas, only a mini market across the road (buy everything you need there + a large assortment of souvenirs). In a 10-minute walk to the left or right, there are 2 cafes where they cook tasty and budget. There are no pharmacies nearby, only in the center of Protaras and Ainape. There are bus stops near the hotel in both directions. Buses run every 10-15 minutes. There are no traffic jams))). If you are in Cyprus, be sure to try the fish meze)!! ! There are also difficulties with fruits, even if you visit the local Carrefour or Lidl stores in Protaras, then the choice of fruits there is not so big, we have even more in Auchan. Be sure to rent a car, so you will see more and will not be tied to a place. Renting a car is easy, it just takes time to change to left-hand traffic))). The police are loyal to tourists and do not stop in the resort areas. Gasoline costs about 1.30-1.35 euros. They also rent navigators in Russian. Cypriots are friendly and will always help you. There is a big and chic FRUIT shop in Larnaca, it specializes only in fruits and vegetables, it has several types of each fruit and they also make fresh juices in the store!!! ! Freshies in Cyprus are generally rare. In most cases, these are packaged juices or powdered ones. Be sure to visit sea fishing - it is very interesting than just sailing on a boat. Those wishing to visit church places, go to Kikos, there will be an excursion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is closed in salary, there is a marketplace where you can buy delicious sweets, nuts, interesting church decorations, icons (a very large assortment). Go to the fountain show in Protaras (this is for those who have never gone). Lunch / dinner costs approximately for two as follows: if fast food or Turkish food is 15 euros, European food is somewhere around 30-40 euros without alcohol. Prices for souvenirs are almost the same everywhere, well, maybe a difference of 20-50 cents.

I went with my husband from the Biblioglobus travel agency. No comments on the transfer. Our hotel guide Natalia works every day at the hotel. solves all problems. Thank her very much. They took excursions from her to the Kikk monastery and tickets to the fountains, which, by the way, are cheaper than at the box office itself. The hotel is good, the territory is well-groomed and beautiful, bougainvillea of different colors blooms everywhere. The territory is not very large, but in the evening you can find quiet corners in the garden away from the music. The hotel itself seemed to me the last one on the waterfront, there is nothing at all outside the hotel (I mean shops and entertainment). One very modest shop with souvenirs and products, and generally not a single cafe nearby. This is a big minus for those who have half board. Room was 314. It's right in the center with a sea view. Amazing view from the window. But. . . in the evening right under our balcony evening animation, music and a bar. Noisy. You can't open the balcony at night. A couple of times the safe was buggy, the masters were called. Very inconvenient hair dryer in the bathroom. Handle gets hot, impossible to hold. A deposit of 45 euros was left for the second room key, a deposit for an adapter. Refrigerator is chargeable. The food is good, you won't go hungry. Breakfast, as in many countries, is the same, dinners are more varied. Very tasty desserts (cakes). Couldn't resist! Minus - there is always a queue for dinner, but they did not stand for more than 5 minutes. The chef of the restaurant Stelius is just great! A wonderful person. He is very friendly with children, and even remembers those who have been resting for a long time, shakes hands. And in general, I want to say warm words about Anechka at the reception, without her, as they say, without hands, Elon from the spa. Ladies, I advise you to visit and treat yourself to masks and massages. Elona will tell you everything. The beach is wonderful, the water is just the cleanest, next to the hotel there is a pier, we took tickets there for 10 euros and swam for 4 hours, I liked it very much! Summary: hotel for a relaxing holiday. It's good there with small children and "adult" couples, young people have nothing to do there - they have to go to Ayia Napa, or at least to the center of Protaras. During the day I went to the center myself, got on the 102 bus and forward. Just don't forget that you have to take the 101 bus back. Such a strange movement. And it’s good to relax there and there are not so many locals. I advise!

Great hotel, clean, comfortable, friendly staff. Great animation, special thanks to the animators, they work with soul, the children simply adore them. The food is on the level, there is a children's menu, you definitely won't stay hungry. The only negative is the location of the hotel, far from the airport, but there is a way out to take a taxi and not drag the transfer, collecting the rest of the vacationers at the hotels.

Rested for the first time in Cyprus. We are delighted, there are a lot of Russian-speaking staff, excellent attitude, they respond very quickly to any request. Once our safe closed (we just didn’t understand how to use it at the beginning), an employee immediately came and solved all the problems. One more time, already when we were leaving, my husband forgot the keys in the room, at the reception they told us that they would meet us at the room and open it for us, and it was.

As for the towels, I don’t know who got the old and yellow towels, we had new and clean ones, which were changed every day. The same goes for beach towels, they are in your room, you simply exchange them for clean and dry ones by the pool until 18.00. that we experienced inconvenience on this occasion, it is impossible. We had half board, and I am very glad that I did not take all inclusive, since everyone arrived rounded up, and they were hungry, and I didn’t even have to go to a cafe or tavern to dine, as I expected earlier. The beach is very convenient, but if you still take it by its beauty, then in Protaras itself the city beach is better and more beautiful, but less convenient and more people. And the hotel is convenient that if you want to go swimming in the pool, you want in the sea, and you sunbathe on the same sun loungers.

We have just arrived from the Golden Coast Hotel in Protaras, so I hasten to share my impressions in hot pursuit. Rested family, 2 adults and 2 children of kindergarten age. I really liked the sea - the entrance is gradual, sandy, so it's very convenient for children. But it is worth sailing a little further away from the "paddling pool" - beauty !! ! It is imperative to swim in a mask in order to properly examine the fish that scurry under your feet.

It is imperative to swim in a mask in order to properly examine the fish that scurry under your feet. Moreover, at a depth there are many huge stones on which you can stand and relax, which is very convenient for not very skilled swimmers (like me).
Now about the hotel and the room. We chose the Family Room. For families with children, there is also a Kids Suite, but there is a two-story children's bed. This means that my children would definitely fight for a place in the sun (i. e. on the 2nd floor), plus they would also fall out of there... I thought that we didn’t need it. About the Family Room, it was indicated that there was a garden view - a view of the garden. I won’t say that I expected a view of paradise, but I secretly hoped for greenery. However, the view disappointed me - there is no greenery, some kind of burnt field... However, I was not upset for long, after all, I didn’t come to look at the sea from the window!
The water flow in the toilet was very poor. They asked to fix it, it seemed to get better, but there was still not enough water to solve the "big" problems. There is an inscription on the wall that water is bad in Cyprus, the guide told us about the same... True, problems with water did not affect the toilets in the "public" areas of the hotel. So we lived like that - whenever possible, visiting precisely "public" places. However, again, this is not a burden, because. We basically only slept in the room. And so - the room was cleaned normally, the air conditioner worked, the fan too. The air conditioner is a bit old, there are only 3 modes. Sometimes it turned out that it was hot - and you switch to the next mode and it’s immediately cold. In general, there is no golden mean, but nothing, we managed.
We took half board, but in general the vast majority of vacationers on "our shift" were on "all inclusive". And I think that if you go in the heat and with children - you need to take exactly "all inclusive". Because there are no restaurants near the hotel. We went to have lunch at the restaurant "Pinia", a child's step to it for about 10 minutes. Very friendly owners, you sit under the vines, the food is delicious - in general, we liked it. But if you want variety, then it takes more than 20 minutes to walk to a place where there are other restaurants with a child's step from the hotel, which, you see, is not particularly inspiring in the heat.
About the dress code. The rules seem to be there, but according to my observations, not everyone observed them. Especially men - in the heat for dinner, many were in officially prohibited shorts and flip flops, but no one blamed them for this and did not kick them out the door. So you don't have to worry too much.
The restaurant has a children's corner, but the kids will only pick up pizza-potatoes there, but they still eat with their parents. So the corner itself was empty.
Food - I liked it, especially seafood dishes. But halloumi cheese, and fruits were still tastier in restaurants outside the hotel.
There is animation, but we didn’t really participate in it, so I can’t say much here. During the first half of our stay, almost everyone around was Russian. But at the same time, there was not a single Russian song in the children's disco. I would also advise to include something Russian, but my children danced with pleasure to the "foreign" as well, so maybe I'm clinging in vain. The children also liked to sculpt and then paint clay vases, play Indians.
From what I didn’t like actively, this is the rule that if you leave a hotel towel “unattended” on a sunbed for more than an hour, the hotel has the right to take it from there and charge you a fine for loss. One towel - 12 euros. I understand that taking up seats and not using them is not good. But even such a fine seems too high, because the hotel left a towel !!!
Well, from personal grievances - either our circle and a towel disappeared (with ends) near the pool, then suddenly Greek-speaking (it seems) vacationers began to play with our circle in the pool, taking it from our sunbed without asking... We regularly go to rest, but We haven't seen anything like this in the hotel yet, so we were a bit surprised.
If from a very positive - I want to say a huge thank you to Elena from the reception!! ! So there all the girls spoke Russian, but not all were friendly to the vacationers. Elena is always a smile, a good mood, a positive attitude. He will always help, along the way he will have time to play with our children. In general, thank you very much!!!
From excursions we went to the fountains. In one package were - a view of Famagusta, a shopping center, the church of St. Elijah and the oceanarium. About the shopping center, the whole bus was dissatisfied, because. all with children, the store is expensive. But we still stood there for the prescribed 40 minutes, although, in my opinion, no one bought anything. It would be better if they were taken somewhere where you can buy homemade olive oil or something else from local products. I liked the fountains - there is fire, and smoke, and lasers - in general, children love this.
There is also a pier right next to the hotel, we independently (that is, not through a tour operator) rode a boat there (adult - 14 euros, child - 7). Route - we look at the coast, those who wish to jump from a cliff, 2 stops for swimming (the sea is blue-blue there !! ! But deep, so the kids need to take circles, etc. ) plus a view of Famagusta from the water.
We went from the operator Biblio Globus. I liked everything about their work - the buses are good, everything is done on time, the hotel guide explains everything to the point and adequately. I also liked the fact that the plane was Transaero, otherwise charters are often such that you won’t look without tears. And here the plane is very decent.
Ah, the internet. WiFi in the hotel is paid, it costs 6 euros for 24 hours (as soon as you activated the password, the countdown went on, no matter what you can, and used it for 10 minutes. ) The Internet is very slow, endlessly interrupted. In general, it is better not to mess with him at all, but to relax and enjoy the sea.
Unfortunately, we did not travel around Cyprus. Firstly, the heat, and secondly, such a sea that you don’t want to leave it. I hope someday we will visit in a cooler time and then we will see everything. The Cypriots themselves, with whom I had a chance to talk, were all very friendly and smiling. So I think that our vacation was a success! I recommend Golden Coast and Protaras to everyone who travels just for the sake of the sea, go - you won't regret it!
