In reality, the hotel draws on all 5 *... and not because it is new (furniture, plumbing, etc. , etc. , but because the staff, the kitchen, and much more correspond to a decent level (which some "five-star" in Egypt and Turkey... oh, how far).
Many thanks to Anna and Nadezhda for their assistance, attention and professionalism.
Cyprus, Protaras and the Blue Ivy Hotel (Blue Ivy) left very pleasant impressions.
Recommended!! !

Wonderful vacation. Now about everything in order. Arrived in Larnaca in the evening. At the exit from the plane, the flow of passengers was divided: in one direction - vaccinated, in the other - not, for re-testing. The €15 test was done quickly. Looking ahead, I will say that the results were already ready upon arrival at the hotel.

Wonderful vacation.
Now about everything in order.
Arrived in Larnaca in the evening.
At the exit from the plane, the flow of passengers was divided: in one direction - vaccinated, in the other - not, for re-testing.
The €15 test was done quickly.
Looking ahead, I will say that the results were already ready upon arrival at the hotel.
The hitch was only with luggage.
An hour later they were already there.
Reception - rating 5.
We were greeted warmly, treated to a drink, and also provided a voucher for 2 free cocktails.
The manager Anna spoke in detail about the hotel and the rules that must be observed and promised to quickly respond to any requests from tourists, as we saw for ourselves.
Masks must be worn only in enclosed spaces (restaurant, reception).
Masks are not issued.
Sanitizers are installed in public places.
Territory - 5.
The hotel is new.
The territory is compact, landscaped.
It has 2 swimming pools - one for adults (with a bar), the other for children.
Comfortable soft beds of several variations.
Two restaurants with a summer terrace, and a bar in the lobby with a seating area.
There is a gym.
The hotel is located in the center of Protaras.
Shops, bars, taverns - everything is nearby.
If you are as lucky as we are with your room, you will be able to watch the "fountain show" 5 days a week directly from your balcony for free (hourly show costs 23€).
Number 5.
Stylish, clean, everything works, there is a balcony.
Quality sanitary ware Grohe.
Standard equipment - refrigerator, TV.
A complimentary bottle of wine and water upon arrival, which can be replenished at the restaurant or bar as needed.
Every evening, with a good night wish, cookies are placed in the room.
Water and light without interruption.
Cleaning daily, without comment.
Toiletries (gel, conditioner, shampoo) replenished daily.
Towels were changed regularly.
Mattresses are comfortable, orthopedic.
Food - 4.
Breakfast is monotonous.
The juice is not freshly squeezed.
Upon request, coffee beans are brought from the coffee machine.
For dinner, the assortment is wider, you can always find something tasty.
From the "delicacies" - salman, lamb, duck, beef, seafood, and from drinks only water is free.
Beach and sea - 5.
Within walking distance are several top beaches - Sunrise, Vrissi and Fig Tree.
The section of the sea is open, but there was a storm only once, the rest of the time the water was calm, clean and transparent.
The beaches are sandy, with a convenient entry into the sea.
Sunbed rental for the day 2.5 €, the same amount for an umbrella.
There is a water entertainment center for every taste, including sightseeing trips on various ships.
There is no animation as such, after dinner in the bar you can listen to live music, including in Russian.
To sum it up - we had a great time.
Of particular note is a sensitive attitude towards Russian speakers, which has recently been rare.
The hotel deserves your attention.

I chose the hotel for a long time, scrupulously and bought into the rating "5.0" and the photo stopped at BLUE IVY. Already upon check-in, the thought immediately arose that such good reviews were most likely "bought". We booked a room with direct sea view. Upon check-in, we were the only ones given a room on the ground floor, which, of course, did not please us anymore, all our requests to change the floor were not heard.

I chose the hotel for a long time, scrupulously and bought into the rating "5.0" and the photo stopped at BLUE IVY.
Already upon check-in, the thought immediately arose that such good reviews were most likely "bought".
We booked a room with direct sea view. Upon check-in, we were the only ones given a room on the ground floor, which, of course, did not please us anymore, all our requests to change the floor were not heard. When we entered the room there was a strong smell of sewage, and the view was on a wasteland behind the hotel. Naturally, without sorting things out, we returned to the reception with the question: "Where is our paid direct sea view? ". At the same time, the employees behaved extremely ugly - they began to convince us that this particular number was right for us.
Naturally, a conflict arose, to which we were asked to wait for the manager, who would come in half an hour and would resolve the issue. At the same time, the reception staff, apparently thinking that we do not understand English, because communicated with us in Russian, began to giggle at us leafing through our documents and saying among themselves that, of course, we were assigned a different number. It was extremely unpleasant.
The manager Marina appeared half an hour later and after looking at the documents, she began to convince us that it was the hotel’s fault that we had booked the wrong room, no, but Tez Tur was to blame, who allegedly sent incorrect information, while showing us papers where it was clearly written " sea view". . . Yes, and the smell in the room, according to her, is due to the fact that they just cleaned the sewer. . .
As a result, after an hour of bickering, we were settled in a superior room, all on the same ground floor, but with a sea view. I told the guide this situation in order to find out who is to blame, he said that the hotel, of course, never admits guilt because of fear of bad reviews and that not everyone goes to figure it out, some silently swallow and live where they settled ! Awesome!
In general, the hotel itself is good. From time to time there was a strong smell of sewage in the bathroom, which the staff eliminated after contacting the reception.
I didn’t particularly like the food, there was practically no variety and choice, it was delicious too. And the breakfasts were like a blueprint (in fact, it was the worst buffet I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few of them).
The restaurant staff is very unfriendly, angry, except for the head waiter - an elderly thin man with glasses. He was very sweet and talkative.
There was no animation, which for some reason was indicated on the site in the description of the hotel!
Everything else about the hotel was good.
And about the pleasant. The sea near the hotel: magnificent! Wonderful! Pure! Transparent! Warm! Calm! With a flat sandy bottom! The best sea, in my opinion.

Departure from Minsk at 8:20. Arrival in Larnaca at 11:10. Long passport control at the airport (several planes arrived at once). At 12:10 I was on the transfer bus. We left at about 13:00. Our hotel was the last one on the route. We arrived around 2:20 pm. Upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by the hotel manager.

Our hotel was the last one on the route. We arrived around 2:20 pm. Upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by the hotel manager. Very nice girl (Russian). In general, there are no problems with the Russian language at the reception, everyone I met spoke Russian. The settlement went quickly. Room on the 1st floor. Everything is new (furniture, linen, plumbing). The room has a wardrobe, two beds, an armchair-sofa, a table, a chair, a mirror, a huge flat-screen TV, a couple of bedside tables, a telephone, a safe, a balcony. On the balcony there is a table and two chairs, there is a device for drying clothes. The hotel has two swimming pools. Near the pools there are cool sun loungers, umbrellas too. The chairs and sofas on the terrace are also cool. The interior and exterior of the hotel is very modern. That's all for now, in the next review I will write about food and service.

I’m in this hotel for the second day, I got here by accident for two days, because our hotel was overloaded and we were sent to this one. , sand and clear water! the fact that this is the third line as indicated in the description of the hotel, I do not agree, but maybe after Turkey and Egypt we are used to the fact that if the second line, then go and go.

The territory is small, but very clean and cozy. There is not much food, but you will not be hungry, everything is delicious, maybe a little monotony, but again, I repeat, this is not Egypt. We cleaned twice (it was 2 days we arrived here), a great many cafes and restaurants throughout the area, even McDonald's there are ???????????? supermarkets, etc! so I rate it very well))))))
