Despite the three stars, the hotel is very good.
Well-groomed territory, clean and tidy, heavily guarded by lizards and accompanied by the musical chirping of cicadas. It is very hot in Cyprus in July-August, so a refrigerator and air conditioning in the room are vital if you are not fans of hot wine and slippery bodies.
Meals HB, that is, breakfast-dinner, but so that clothes do not crack closer to the night, we replaced dinners with lunches and life became easier. However, for lunch, portions for my girlish body turned out to be just the same stressful. Cypriots are obsessed with food and for some reason they serve french fries and bowls of salads with all the dishes ordered, they probably have an over-harvest of french fries in their red-soil vegetable gardens. From this we conclude that with food at the hotel, we did not see the emaciated ones.

In the shower, water was leaking from somewhere on the floor, and in order not to bother much, we just threw a towel on the floor, told the aunt-cleaner about this, she understood and filled us with towels, so that it wasn’t enough. After all, 20 towels are easier to wash than to call the master, cho. It's not a problem.
I saw an animator with a dozen glasses on his head in a photo in reviews of 2005 and saw him again live in 2012, even took pictures. This suggests that the animation there is stable and constant, like "Good night kids" with Khryusha and Stepashka on the first channel before going to bed.
Protaras is about 5 minutes by bus, it's quiet and retired. It takes 10-15 minutes to Ayia Napa, it's young, noisy, crowded and mischievous. Google and guide sites will tell you about entertainment and excursions, we are here about the hotel.
The sea... oh the sea there is such a sea! To all the seas the sea!
Now tips:
1. Do not collect alcohol in your own Duty Free airport, it is cheaper in Cyprus anyway. In addition, a rich selection of local wines, something stronger and beer.
2. We buy in Lidl (Protaras) and Plus (Ayia Napa), in the same place we buy an adapter for euro sockets
3. Sun cream is a must
4. In order not to back up like goats at the reception - we learn English and a few words in Greek. Yasas-hello, efharistO-thank you, parakalO-please, vromiAri-skunk.
5. We take excursions in Ayia Napa, cheaper and richer.
6. To Cape Greco from the hotel 5 minutes by bus, it is better to go yourself, wander around than book an excursion
7. We definitely try Meze (it’s better to eat fish, meat and homeland), but before and after it’s not recommended to eat anything because it’s a shame to take it with you in your pockets, but it’s unrealistic to eat for two
8. We take masks / snorkels with us, swim, look for a statue at the bottom, 20 meters from the beach
9. Grab a small present for the hostess of the hotel. Her name is Lida, give her a box of chocolates or a bottle of champagne.
10. We take a map of Cyprus for free at the hotel reception, though in Greek.

If I forgot something, don't hesitate to ask. In general, the hotel is cool, the food is plus five extra kilos, the weather is hot, the sea is just luxury, the people are sincere, we will return to Cyprus if the countries on the must-have list run out)))
