So, the first sensations subsided and you can proceed to the review.
We went as a family of 2 adults and a child of 10 years old on a special offer from Natalie tours for 7 nights 8 days for 22 tr.
Flight Transaero without claims all the minute, only surprised that they did not announce a return landing, they only called those who were late at the last moment.
Arrival: Transfer guides met, placed on the bus on the road did not entertain, only the necessary minimum of useful information.
In a hotel; Russian-speaking receptionist: Ivan, Marius and Maya accommodated 55 people IN 15 MINUTES o_O, and in the future Marius and Maya resolved all issues instantly and constructively, the result was 5 plus.
Rooms treshka she is treshka, but hair dryer, refrigerator and LCD TV (all free and in working order) it was nice. True, the impression was that no one had cleaned the air conditioner for a long time, although there seemed to be no complaints about its work. five-.

Cleaning in the rooms is HORRIBLE, we are not picky, but compared to Turkey and Egypt, get ready for the worst, windows and mirrors are not wiped, wet (and dry) cleaning is not done, crawled under the bed (dropped something), and there huge clods of dust. They ate a melon, there was nothing to wipe it with, well, they rubbed it with a napkin and that’s it, so no one removed these stains for two days, until the wife herself washed it with a towel (a hotel towel - What’s a shame). In short, all cleaning comes down to changing linen and towels every three days, taking out urns and issuing half a roll of toilet paper. And they strive to do it after dinner, when, in theory, you need to relax. They left a tip of 2 euros, but after the first pseudo-cleaning, they stopped doing this nonsense. Cleaning 1.
Restaurant, buffet, again, in comparison with Turkey and Egypt, modest, but sufficient, Breakfast eggs in different types 2, cheese, fried bacon, sausage, sausages, muesli with milk, toast, butter, in general, everything is worthy. Lunch cucumbers, tomatoes, a couple of three salads, mashed soup (painfully reminded me of chorbashi), fish, chicken, bolognese or just pasta, fried or baked or boiled potatoes (occasionally). Dinner is almost the same as lunch, but sometimes we were pleased with the second one (stewed lamb, local kofte, roast pork, stewed beef azu). Fruit oranges, gelatin dessert. Again, given that this is a 3 * solid 5.
Bar, only local drinks, no branded ones even for money. For my taste (yeah, less such an experience), you can’t drink them, unless in cloudy-colored cocktails, but I don’t drink cocktails. I had to opt for ouzo diluted with water. Beer worthy of KAPPA. I really liked the red wine, but on the second day it played a cruel joke on me, so I didn’t drink it anymore (it’s very intoxicating), I didn’t try white. Juices suck, there is no fresh juice even for money. But ice cream of three varieties and snacks after breakfast, although snacks were made very reluctantly. Russian speaking bartenders Milen and Ilona are very nice people. I repeat: given that this is a 3 * bar for 5.
The pool is large, there are enough sun loungers, of course there are no slides, water polo gates are available. five.
Animator Arunas wandered dejectedly for three days, and apparently realizing that he had no prospects in this profession, he drank with tourists at the bar in the evening, got excited, and was expelled by the manager. 0.
Saved the game room billiards 2 euros air hockey 1 euro. Another tourist Zhenya brought a guitar with him, their concert with Andrey from Ivanovo was very impressive. (“Hello Andryukha, how are you dude? ”); )))
The area is very well maintained and green. five.

The hotel is on the outskirts to the center of Protaros 3 bus stops, to Ayia Napa 50 minutes by the same bus 101/102 travel 1 euro.
Hotels in Cyprus do not have beaches.
In general, Easter 3 * solid 4 even with a plus. The complete absence of TIP-BOX. I wanted to thank the individual employees of the hotel, well, God willing, they will read and understand. Thanks for the rest, you are great.
Now a few words about Cyprus. I won't go there again. The beaches are municipal, we visited the puddle closest to the hotel 500 - 600 meters like a village pond, Fig Tree in Protaros is a miserable imitation of Beldibi 1, Nissi Beach is a little better, but we must understand that the prices of hotels in Ayia Napa and Protaros are different. In general, after a trip to Nissi Beach in Ayia Napa, except for Anapa, I did not call this city, who was in Anapa, on the beach where Anapka flows into the sea or on Azov, he will understand me. To go into the sea in order not to knock your knees on the bottom when swimming, you need to go far and for a long time 500-600m. Of the pluses, only sand, and white sand in swimming trunks, hair, and other parts of the body. We went before dinner, there were few people, but others went before dinner, and for a long time they were looking for a place where to spread a towel. Nature painfully reminded Alanya, though I was passing through Alanya and didn’t swim, but I think the beaches are better there. There are no mountains, no pines, no healing air, in Kemer I don’t know what a hangover is, it’s almost like home here. I tried the local/Greek cuisine in El Greco, but some pieces of meat meze inspired me, but something didn’t. Delicious deep-fried parmesan, the child drank two milkshakes, we had a bottle of red semi-dry. We had a very nice chat with Marianna, received a compliment in the form of a plate with watermelon and two glasses of honey ouzo "for the road" and a bill for 63 euros. I could not get used to the movement, I did not dare to take the car. We went to the “north” to Famagusta (naturally with “street workers”: 30 per adult, 20 per child for half a day) I really liked how I arrived home, everywhere the “native” Turkish speech, tea from semaver in kahfan and Ephesus in frozen glasses. Bedava and pazarlyk. Cursed be those who divide countries and peoples who have lived together from time immemorial, soul to soul. Prices are low in Protaros stores, Rayban looks like real 7-15 euros, Bangladeshi textiles 5-7 euros T-short, 18 polo and dresses, straw hats (Italy??? ) 7-10 euros, phallic-vaginal souvenirs everywhere and symbolism. I bought my daughter (I was sitting at home taking exams) a clutch (Barbary ???? ) for 5 euros and a unisex bag for the lyceum (Billabong ??? ) for the lyceum for 7 euros. Wine is more profitable in a dutik before departure at the Zivania 10 market at airport 9, everything else is somewhere the same, 1-5 euros in savings, but this is of course if you are not flying to the eurozone. It's a pity we didn't visit holy places, but 7 days provided to the airport from work from airport to work is negligible.
