Basically, we always book threes, and I never count on the wow effect, I know where I'm going. But when we arrived at this hotel, there was no limit to the delight, friends then looking at our photos, did not believe that we were in 3 *.
Firstly, the room, many write that it is old, but we had a very nice one with good furniture, perhaps some after renovation. It needs to be clarified. The room overlooked the sea on the territory, where by the way it is very green. It takes a little more than 10 minutes to go to the sea, it is not critical for us, and the sea is very clean, transparent and beautiful in color, the beach is beautiful, sand, many with children. On the territory of a large and children's pool, the Internet is free, there are shops nearby.
The staff is very pleasant, they never stumbled upon rudeness, and we like to ask questions to hotel employees a little))) Animation is, unobtrusive, there is not much of it, but there is - for children, and a program for adults.
Cleaning, change of bed linen - we changed several times during the rest!
And the biggest plus of the hotel is the food, delicious and varied. Amazing cooked different meat, chicken, fish, desserts, I remember and want to go there))
The hotel is definitely worth attention, everyone should take an example from him!

From the hotel there were positive emotions. The staff is very attentive and responds promptly to all problems, they met well with a smile and placed immediately. Immediately noted that there is a bus stop nearby, from which you can go to Ayia Napa, Larnaca. The hotel area is good, with a swimming pool. The beach is about 7 minutes walk, there are other beaches, but further away, if you wish, you can take a walk.

There is a kettle, a refrigerator and by the way wi-fi is free - it catches everywhere both in the room and throughout the territory - generally excellent! Good tasty and quality food for breakfast and dinner. The choice is generally like everywhere else, traditional, but really everything is delicious. The resort itself is very pleasant, more suitable for a relaxing holiday.

We went to Cyprus for the third time. We are me and my wife. We have already noticed a trend: if nothing serious is booked in advance, Cyprus becomes an emergency exit. With a visa, do not bathe, the sea is excellent, the beaches are good, I paid and flew away. This time in Protaras. In a trifle. In general, for me 3 * in Cyprus are very good hotels.

And Smartline is no exception. Protaras itself is a calm place, if necessary, you can go to troubled Ayia Napa, it is nearby. And this hotel is generally a universal option for any tourist: it will be good for couples and families. In all senses)
They met us very warmly, straight 5 for their attitude towards guests. There were no problems with settling in, sometimes I think maybe it’s my unshaven appearance that’s to blame, like “it’s better not to argue with this bearded man”, I even grow it as a specialist before vacation for good luck, but what, everyone has their own talisman))) So we liked the number , so fresh or something, it was comfortable in it, the bed is comfortable. A refrigerator and a kettle were also present - it's generally fine, if you like, bring tea / coffee, if you want, cool the beer. And by the way, free wi-fi is a huge plus. Everything is fine in terms of food, we took half board, breakfasts - dinners, that is. Normal food, delicious, don't want chicken today, eat beef or pork or fish. There is always a choice. And by the way, the sauces are delicious and different, you can experiment. The territory of the hotel is green, spacious and a nice clean pool. It takes 7 minutes to stomp to the beach and it is not alone here, this one is just the closest. And next to the hotel there is a bus stop, also a plus for those who do not like to sit still. I rate the hotel at 5, I advise you to take a closer look. And we are satisfied, tanned, rested, once again we are convinced that it is cool to relax in Cyprus

Hello. First time in Cyprus. Been to many places before. Traveled for 13 days with a fellow traveler. Let's get started. Country - combed Crimea. People are an intelligent scoop. Prices - as we have in supermarkets. Cafes - 10-15Ё from the nose. The beaches are all public and free, so every time I sunbathed in a different place.

Hello. First time in Cyprus. Been to many places before. Traveled for 13 days with a fellow traveler. Let's get started.
Country - combed Crimea. People are an intelligent scoop. Prices - as we have in supermarkets. Cafes - 10-15Ё from the nose. The beaches are all public and free, so every time I sunbathed in a different place. Sun loungers and umbrellas are paid. But if you sunbathe before dinner, then you can get it for free: tax collectors go before dinner. The food at the hotel is a real austerity, but I was fine.
I will describe my average breakfast and dinner: Breakfast: a glass of milk, milk with dumplings (that's what I call corn flakes), 2 sandwiches with honey and cheese, 4 slices of Adyghe cheese. There is an opportunity to make sandwiches for the whole day - the waiters don't care, because there are only Russians and everyone is already used to it.
2 Dinner: Salads or vegetables drizzled with olive oil, fish (or meat), scrambled eggs/spaghetti, olives, oranges, rice and grated cheese on top.
The room is small but clean. We cleaned every day. Never left a tip. For things and passports - they were not afraid.
There is nothing to do on the territory of the hotel. Unless there is an abandoned water park behind the hotel - you can climb there from hell to do.
Havka - stocked up at Lidl. I often bought juice there for 1Ё per liter and for 2-2.50Ё I bought a box (6 pcs) of awesome ice creams in a biscuit or tube for a promotion.
Animals - there are cats, no dogs. A bunch of geckos running around - funny creatures. Hungry fish swim in the sea near volcanic reefs - they eat everything. I counted 8 varieties. There are crabs and funny snails.
Flora - lawns, palm trees, flowering trees, lemons - on the territory of the hotel, free watermelons, melons and oranges in the gardens. Now the figs are ripening. Plus - red delicious crap grows along the roads. Plum size. Produces milk. Tastes like dogwood. They ate a lot and not one day - alive. But the locals don't eat (get drunk, bitches).
Excursions - I personally went only to Famagusta. Was satisfied. The rest of the excursions are rare crap: it takes 3-4 hours to go for 15 minutes to splash in the fountain or just "for show".
Climbing - it was great to save the phone with a Google map loaded in advance through a free Wi-Fi. We climbed on foot all the nearby villages within a radius of 15 km. Quite unstressed. I categorically recommend walking in CAVO GREKO to the cape. From there you can return home along the promenade - through various interesting caves and interesting volcanic embankments. Very, very, very beautiful. A bunch of benches just on the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea.
Budget - for almost 2 weeks I spent only 100Ё. FOR ALL.
Okay, even zae . . write - still no one will read it.
CONCLUSION: Go safely to this hotel - it costs a penny. The staff is almost invisible - and that's great! Purely. 95% of guests - CIS. Well, what's in the ass - but shake the rolls, and you won't be stupidly lying and bored.

Breakfast is monotonous, already tired after a week.
Lunches are "more fun", very tasty fish, meat, oranges.
An incomprehensible soup was given every other day, some kind of white, the impression was like with flour. but maybe I don't understand something.
Cleaned in the rooms are not so hot. They provided only soap, no shampoo. I got the original pillow with a dirty pillowcase. There was also a dirty towel, but I didn’t go anywhere and didn’t complain.
Thus, in this hotel you can relax, the price corresponds to its level.

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.

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.

In the first lines I will say right away - the rest was a success, everything was very good! It was our first vacation abroad and we expected things to get worse, but fortunately our premonitions did not come true. The choice of vacation spot fell on Cyprus (plus - a visa-free country, it was not enough to pay for visas).

In the first lines I will say right away - the rest was a success, everything was very good! It was our first vacation abroad and we expected things to get worse, but fortunately our premonitions did not come true. The choice of vacation spot fell on Cyprus (plus - a visa-free country, it was not enough to pay for visas). We had a family vacation, three adults and a child of eight years old, so Protaras was chosen from the resorts of Cyprus, where everyone can find what they want. Someone will find noisy discos and restaurants, and someone will find solitude and peace. We rested at the Paschalia 3 * hotel. The tour was bought in Natalie-Tours, for which many thanks to them, everything was well organized. The hotel is excellent value for money. Outside and inside the hotel everything is super, clean, tidy. A family room is a double room, that is, two kopeck pieces, the room has two balconies, a bath with a toilet, everything is clean and tidy. There was a mini fridge in the room, a safe - but we didn’t put anything in it, in Cyprus there is simply not even petty theft yet. During our 8 nights, linen was changed three times and towels were changed daily, we didn’t even have time to use them. The territory of the hotel is decent, everything is buried in greenery and flowers (four varieties of ficus trees, citrus trees (lemons, tangerines, oranges), figs, various palm trees, olive trees, oleanders and other representatives of the flora that are not familiar to us. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the sea , it is not possible to get lost, there is practically no one on the streets of Protaras until 10.00. While you are going to the sea, you can go to shops and buy beer, juice, water, creams, air mattresses, etc. A decent beach can be found five minutes walk from the sea to the left or fifteen, if you go to the right. Meals we took breakfast - dinner, and this is justified. If you left the hotel by the sea, it is better to dine in restaurants, taverns and bars on the seashore. Some reviews mention the El Greco restaurant - it two minutes walk from the hotel, we personally didn't like it, but we really liked the Spectrum bar, which is opposite the Chinese restaurant, the portions are large and the prices are reasonable. olks and all the walls and ceilings are hung with them, an interesting sight, you can read reviews about the bar on T-shirts for ten years. We did not go to the meeting with the representative of Natalie Tours at the hotel, they make appointments at 11-12, is it convenient? Personally, we were swimming in the sea at that time. But if you want to buy tickets for excursions, then it’s better to meet, in a day or two, there will be no tickets for excursions. We missed a couple of days after arrival and there were no more tickets for an excursion to the village of Ohna for donkey riding. If this happens to you, then you will find these tickets at travel agencies in the city, for this you need to know a little English. Personally, we ourselves planned our educational course on our own. We visited the Oceanarium (on the bus to Paralimni, tell the driver to warn you where to get off), the Show of dancing fountains (at 21.00 in the city center near Magdonalds), rode a boat along the coast (they take you to the ghost town of Famagusta in the zone of Turkish occupation and to Cape El Greco - where there is something to see). During the rest we visited Ayia Napa - a noisy city, many foreigners, visited Paralimni - if you get lost there, then good English will not help you, the locals seem to know and do not understand anything - this is not a resort area for you. On the beach in Protaras, you can figure out a person who, around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, goes to collect money for umbrellas and sunbeds, he does it slowly, and if it so happens that at that time you were swimming in the sea, then he will definitely not look for you anymore . Separately, I want to warn you that the transfer from the hotel to the airport may be late and you, like us, will be taken faster and you will have little time for Duty Free. And the rest - I recommend everyone a beach holiday in Cyprus in Protaras from May to September at the Paschalia Hotel. Good luck!

Rested from 07/28/12 to 08/04/12. Settled in room 027, with non-working air conditioning. Because of the monotonous music, as if hammering nails, it is impossible to sleep, since the room is located above the bar. The bathroom doors don't close. The doors in the corridor knock after each opening by tourists - around the clock, as the shock absorber does not work.

The doors in the corridor knock after each opening by tourists - around the clock, as the shock absorber does not work. We argued with the hotel manager for 3 days and we were moved to another room, where the air conditioner was already working, but the Russian channel on TV was encoded. They did not respond to requests to say the code at the reception, but only wrote down the application. but nothing has been done. The representative of the travel agency Natalie Tour Kira does not provide assistance, does not deal with tourists, does not solve problems, but only writes down for excursions. Such a representative of the Kira travel agency is not needed there, as bus drivers pick up and take away from the hotel.

the hotel is located in protaras. To the sea somewhere 300-400 meters. but it doesn't bother me at all! Along the way to the sea, there are many cafes. You can have a snack. There is peeling for legs with fish. You can again soak up after the sea... Yes, and just take a walk! There is no beach, and it is not necessary! How do you get to the sea? turn left and there one after another there will be bays - small, comfortable - choose to your taste.

How do you get to the sea? turn left and there one after another there will be bays - small, comfortable - choose to your taste. There are not very many people there. Rather, very little. Sun beds and umbrellas for a fee. Give money and use all day. Just don't forget to bring your check. The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are clean. Lots of towels - for feet, for hands, for showers, for the beach. Cleaned up every day. Is there a safe in the room. Room with a balcony. The hotel is located around the corner from a busy street, so the rooms and the hotel are quiet. The hotel has 2 lifts. Both work. Administrators are good! Polite, smiling. We took breakfast and dinner. The hotel changed dinner for lunch. Absolutely free! And for dinner we went to a restaurant. The food at the hotel is the same. But everything is fresh! One downside was there was no baking. Sometimes it's just jelly. . .
Nearby there is a wonderful restaurant "El Greco". Don't be afraid, come boldly. The biggest bill we had there was 25 euros for two. Portions are big. OOOVery delicious!! ! The owner and his family are friendly people. Met on the doorstep. We were escorted (we were escorted) almost to the hotel. At the same time, they communicate, ask, are interested. And the most interesting thing is that everyone remembers. And at the next arrival, they ask, how is the excursion? Do you have 2 days left before departure? etc. . . It's nice. They speak Russian well there. Every time they give gifts. We were given a bottle of our wine, sweets, a glass of wine for free with each order.

Dinner- practically like lunch, only the meat changes. We were never hungry, the food was to our liking. The staff is polite, friendly. Free internet at the reception, tennis court, gym, sauna. Air conditioning, TV, refrigerator. , this is not long. There are several beaches at short distances from each other. It takes 20 minutes to the center. After a hearty meal, it doesn’t interfere with walking. this is not enough, go to the five-star.
