Pernera Beach Hotel 3* Tour Adults and children standard side sea view all inclusive

Departure from Minsk is 2.3 hours 5 minutes in the air and we are at Larnaca Airport, at the exit we are met by the Natalie Tours counter and sent to the minibus number 15 in the parking lot. There, a friendly Cypriot checks our names, loads the suitcase and, after 10 minutes, we set off. On the way, we stop at Larnaca and Ayia Napa, dropping off vacationers at their hotels, an hour later to Protaras, there is Pernera (the last hotel on the bus route), we and another family stay (it turned out to be a pleasant company to relax, especially since the children the same age).
The hotel meets with an English-speaking administrator, we are given a key, cards for towels and a food guide in Russian. Room on the first floor next to the kids club and breakfast room, view of the green lawn and side sea, at first we didn’t like it very much, and then we appreciated the silence and convenience of the location.

In the room, in addition to the standard set, a free safe, kettle, disposable cups, tea, coffee, sugar, cream. Cleaning in the room daily - cleaned cleanly, change of towels and linen every 3 days.
The hotel is located directly on the shore: right in front of the hotel there is a swimming pool, then a sports ground and immediately the sea, a little to the right a large green lawn with sunbeds and umbrellas and a descent to the water - swimming from a concrete slab, to the right a bay with a sandy municipal beach. It’s good for small children to swim on a sandy beach (although in the end our daughter really fell in love with swimming from the stove), but the water from the stove is a little cooler and you need shoes or don’t get off it, because there are a lot of hedgehogs, but the water is clean, the fish swim .
The sea was cool for the first couple of days in the afternoon and it was cold on the stove, but the rest of the time it was just wonderful - warm, azure and salty. By the way, foreigners mostly lie by the pool and very rarely swim in the sea, which is not clear to me - how can exchange such charm for a trough with hot water.
The contingent of vacationers is families with children and English pensioners. The British - 60%, Russians - 25%, the rest - Germans, Swedes and a few others.
Adult animation in English, but if you wish, you can: shoot a bow, play volleyball, darts, jump in the pool twice a day (like aqua aerobics), some other game with balls in the sand, tennis and tennis , in the evening bingo (to admit I got tired of it in 15 days), disco (the British don’t dance, but sit and watch), well, various performances - dances, songs, magic tricks, fire shows, live music.
Children's animation is Russian-speaking, the animators are very good, the children go to the club with great pleasure and cannot wait for a break to go to the club again. Every day there is a mini disco for children - they dance on the stage next to the bar, and parents can watch them sitting at the tables.
All inclusive. Plenty of food, delicious, never ends, no queues.

Breakfast is closer to English: boiled, fried eggs, scrambled eggs (with and without fillers), bacon, sausages, beans, french fries, baked tomatoes, oatmeal, hot pancakes, cheeses, sausage, breakfast cereals, milk, yoghurts, vegetables, fruits, pastries, juices, toast, coffee machines and vending machines with various sodas.
Lunch and dinner are served at the Tavern. The menus are almost the same, only for dinner there are much more desserts. Soup - only puree soup, delicious mushroom, chicken and tomato.
The meat is always something grilled or baked, with a la carte sauces and all sorts of different delights (there were all kinds of meat, I really liked the lamb). Meat dishes at least 5.1 kind of something fishy or with tentacles brrr. 8 kinds of salads, dressed, marinated, without dressings, just chopped vegetables, sauces. Side dishes - a sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bvegetables and grilled and boiled and baked and fried and solo and mixes, rice, pasta, french fries. Fruits - watermelons 3 times a day, incomparably delicious oranges - 2 times a day (peeled pink sweet without bitterness and yellow grapefruits for breakfast), peaches, apricots, delicious green plums, apples, sweet melons. Desserts - pastries, jellies, mousses, creams, I really liked the warm biscuit with custard and the national sweet - warm deep-fried balls (insanely delicious). In the halls there are faucets with beer, wine (white, red, pink dry), well, vending machines with drinks and coffee.
Bar - from 10.00 to 24.00.
00 in unlimited quantities 4 types of beer, including local Kappa (good beer), dry wine (all colors), 15 types of alcoholic and 3 types of children's cocktails, optional pure alcohol - rum, vodka, whiskey, juice, drinks, tea, coffee, ice cream.
Snacks from 11.00 to 18.00 french fries, pasta with tomato sauce, hamburgers, hot dogs, fish sticks and variations on the theme, cucumbers, tomatoes.
Drinking water - near the bar and pool vending machines with water - warm / cold
The staff at the hotel is friendly, attentive, any request is fulfilled very quickly (the air conditioner did not work for us, it was repaired within 15 minutes).
The hotel has a good shop, with prices no higher than in nearby shops.

The hotel is located on the outskirts of Protaras, for this it is calm and there are no outsiders. The cheapest - the nearest 3 stores, the closer to the center - the more expensive.
We also rented a car, went to Cape Greco, Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Nicosia.
