Summary: for the money - very good!

PROS:
1) great location. Center of Protaras, right next door to McDonald's and dancing fountains. At the entrance is a bus stop. The hotel stands on the main street of the town, all shops, taverns, restaurants - a maximum of 10 minutes on foot.
2) Sea. 10 minutes leisurely walk - and you are on the best beach in Protaras. The beach is just magical, I have never seen anything like it.
In general, there are two good beaches in Protaras - Vrissi (this one) and the beach of fig trees (neighboring, a little further).
3) The staff and cleaning are excellent. Daily cleaning of the rooms, change of towels, excellent service by the waiters in the restaurant.

4) Food - 10/10. BOMB! The dinner menu was not repeated once in 7 days. Be sure to have at least 5 types of meat, a huge selection of fresh salads. Dishes are at the level of expensive Kyiv restaurants, and this is at the buffet : -) A small selection of only fruits (usually 2 types), but grapes, for example, were delicious.
All alcoholic cocktails in the evening - 2.50 euros (the price is cheaper than in Kyiv restaurants).
5) entertainment - not bad, for 7 days one evening of Greek culture, combined in a barbecue in the fresh air (amateur performances, amusing) and one evening of live music - a girl sang, very wonderful, really liked it. ATTENTION, from the windows of the fire escape to the left of the elevator, you can freely watch the dancing fountain show! review - better than the audience there! Save 25 euros per person! serious bonus : -)
6) The staff understands Russian. Half the time at the reception sits completely Russian uncle.
7) For amateurs, there is a fairly large pool and a paddling pool for children. The area around the pool is equipped with sun loungers and parasols.

MINUSES: for its price - THEY ARE NOT : -)

NOTES: attention, the number of rooms is OLD. In short, the rooms are like a GOOD Soviet hotel.
If you cannot imagine life without European-style renovation, gilding and plasma panels, you should not go to this hotel.

At the same time - EVERYTHING WORKS, cleanly, the furniture is all intact, the air conditioner worked (but not silently), the plumbing is working and clean.
It is interesting that the renovation and decoration of the rooms is VERY DIFFERENT from the common spaces - the restaurant, the pool area, the reception. Common spaces are decent.

Vacationers - 50/50 Russian family tourists / Western European pensioners. "Tagil!!!! " - missing

Disco, nightlife - absent as a class.

CONCLUSION - an excellent hotel for calm, economical, NON-PATHIC people, for families with children, to take out old parents. oh and delicious food

ADVIСE -
1) On the way to the beach, there is a Golden Star supermarket on the right. This is the best place to buy anything. For example, water - 0.40 euro / 1.5l. (uncompromising price). In the "kiosk" of the hotel everything is expensive.
2) It is elementary to go to the water park: right next to the entrance to the hotel, sit down on the state.

bus number 102, go to the final. The water park opens at 10-00, you can arrive 20 minutes in advance to buy a ticket. Back - bus number 101, get off where you sat down. travel - 1.5 euros.
3) Arrange a promenade along the beach to the cape of fig trees. In the evening - beauty indescribable
4) Be sure to try the fish (and meat) meze. VERY GOOD fish meze at Yianna Marie beachfront restaurant. Meze is prepared for at least two, the price is from 14 euros per person.
