- This hotel was chosen because of the price-quality ratio, it was a very reasonable price. We arrived early in the morning, so we had to wait 6 hours until 14-00 and not a second earlier =) The fact that I had a birthday didn’t bother anyone, even for money they refused to settle earlier (the rooms were free). True, they promised to congratulate them with a cake at dinner, but the promises remained the same =)
2. What did you like about the hotel, on the territory of the hotel?
- It is convenient that there is a supermarket right next to the hotel, but there are many supermarkets in Ayanape within walking distance, so not a big plus =) The hotel area is small, not green, there is construction going on near the hotel.
There is secure parking on the territory of the hotel, you can check in and out at any time of the day.
3. Advantages and disadvantages of the number
- The hotel has several buildings, one of them is new, in order to get a 100% room in the new building, take a room with a sea view, the sea view will be so-so, but the room is on a solid 4, in the old building the rooms are on 3 with a minus .
4. Breakfasts are good but monotonous, I didn't like dinners and lunches. Each meal can be paid separately breakfast 8 euros. Lunch / udin -10 euros.
5. The beach within walking distance from the hotel is pebbly and there are five-star hotels on the bags to the left, their beach is cleared of pebbles, but there are not a few people, and it’s still better to go to Nisi Beach or Makronises. We rented a car and drove to macronise. In the travel agency in which we took the tour, we were advised where to take the car. The car had only 10.000 miles on it. And the rental price is 30 euros per day.
The hotel was almost in the center of Ayia Napa 5 min. to the Monastery and the square, 5 min. to the beach, if you go to the left, then go to the beach along the street with shops, if to the right, then along the wasteland... to the left along the street there is a travel agency Aphrodite tour right away, take excursions there - it’s cheaper if there are no problems with right-hand drive, then you’re completely lucky, go around the island yourself on the map, and if you also know English, you are at home. I won’t write much, I liked everything very much. The hotel is good, take it safely, well done staff... Everything is just SUPER!
Now about the hotel. The hotel is really not far from the sea, from the exit from the hotel to the beach, I smoked one cigarette (it's about 3 minutes) a lot of people fell on that beach, and we a little bit - half a cigarette)) we went away from this place because on the first beach in the sea is pebbles (medium and large) sandy beach, but not that. But 1.5 minutes to the side, and you get a huge territory to lie on a towel and there are no sunbeds above your head like on the first one. in the water there is the purest sand and a rescue post nearby, for those who are afraid of drowning. Rescuers work until six o'clock in the evening. The beach is always clean every time if it's in the morning or in the evening it's cleaned. and then they will ride on a quad bike and level all the sandy buildings set up for the whole day. Probably so that people don't break their legs at night. For the beach like everything, back to the hotel. For the air conditioning remote control, you need to leave a deposit of 20 euros when you return the remote control, they will be returned, a refrigerator is 4 euros a day or 20 weeks, in our 116 there was a safe (although there is no mention of safes on the site), the safe is free. Vnomer TV with USB support (used to us). the normal was cleaned in the room, the tip was left every other day in EUREKA, as the left was cleaned more thoroughly. Breakfasts are really monotonous, but always tasty and we personally didn’t get bored in two weeks. But with dinners, I remained hungry twice (once a week), every day they had a kitchen of some kind of people, and a couple of times I came across everything so not tasty that the waiters took away full plates from many, and on other days it was tasty. From the dessert there were melons, watermelons, grapes, ice cream (4 types), a couple of types of their sweets, but this is not for everyone... In cakes, the base is something like milk jelly (only not so tasty), instead of our biscuits, but here cream top lick your fingers! Therefore, in most cases, he took cakes and enjoyed only the top. In the evening, from 20-30, someone performs, I really liked the program on Tuesdays, like the program is called "Big Mom", the image of the artist reminded me of "Stifler's Mom" from American Pie. on Wednesdays and Fridays, I really didn’t like the nightmare, and in terms of the number of people who stayed at least until the seridina, not only I didn’t like it. At the reception, they speak Russian who is more, who is less, there is a girl from Depopetrovsk (Ukraine) to whom many thanks for her patience and assistance at all (for two weeks ago I asked her a huge number of stupid questions, but she answered and helped with pleasure) Especially when I I came to her with a question where in Ayia_Anpa I can buy a small screwdriver to disassemble my wife's drowned phone, she told me all the possible places to purchase such a strange object for a city of parties and restaurants. ) By the way, we found a screwdriver and I saved the phone)) Right next to the hotel there is not a bad supermarket PLUS prices are not expensive for everything, but it’s worth a walk and you can find it even cheaper. for example, beer there is 1.15 euros, and we found 75 euro cents each, which is quite a good savings, and we drank a lot of beer.
Airline: Transaero, Sheremetyevo, terminal F. All on time. The only "glitch" was that the oven broke down on the way back and it had to be very hot. long wait + not enough buns for everyone. According to the flight attendants, "they didn't bring enough on board. " It's funny.
Hotel: if you are not picky and you need a room to sleep, wash and wait out the heat, then this is it. The room is not new furniture, but in good condition, TV, hair dryer and air conditioning. The bathroom has only liquid soap and shampoo. In my room there were no soap dishes and various shelves for shower accessories. To get the remote control from the air conditioner, you need to make a deposit of 20 euros at the reception. Upon departure, the deposit is returned. Safe at the reception: 10 euros deposit + 1.5 euros for the use of the safe per day.
Food: For breakfast, the food is the same every day: eggs, cheeses/sausages, sausages, potato triangles, scrambled eggs, vegetables, sometimes melon, cereals, cereals, pancakes with sauces and pastries.
Dinner: more varied than breakfast. They make delicious meat and chicken. The only thing I didn't like was the mayonnaise. Ours is tastier. All drinks at dinner are paid.
Entertainment: there are evenings in hotels when they entertain: they sing, dance, fire shows.
The hotel has a bar, billiards, a swimming pool and, according to the Cypriots, the best fitness room in all of Ayia Napa.
The reception staff speaks Russian.
Near the territory of the hotel there is a Plus supermarket, a Russian restaurant "Teremok", for those who miss their homeland.
10 minutes walk to the beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid 2.5 for each item. Rent for the whole day. You are given a check, and if you want to leave the beach, then you do not need to leave things, but you need to take them with you. If you want to return to the beach that day, it is enough to present a receipt for payment and take any free sunbed. There are always sunbeds. Those who do not want to pay, relax on towels on the sand, "on the first line" in front of the sunbeds.
The sea is beautiful, clean and shallow 30 meters from the shore. The beach is not very clean especially early in the morning: cigarette butts, bottles, bottles and condoms. The beach is cleaned at 8-9 am. The sea is clean in the morning, at the end of the day all of the above floats in it. If you sail away - clean and beautiful. There are algae.
The famous Nissi Beach struck with its "purity": the water blooms, mud is all over the territory, smells disgusting, clings to the body. Although, of course, when the sun comes out, the sea and white sand play with amazing colors.
Not a bad excursion "Black Pearl": a 4-hour walk on the sea on a ship, with actors disguised as "Pirates of the Caribbean" with entertainment for children in English. and Russian + lunch - unpretentious, but hearty. Children under the age of 8 will be interested. The rest simply enjoy walking, swimming in the open sea and jumping from the stern into the sea. Be sure to smear with creams, walked from 11.30 to 15.30 - burn instantly. In a word, pleasant, unobtrusive and very good. beautiful sea. The colors are just unreal.
For those who go to hang out - a whole street with dance bars and discos. For every taste and budget. The whole party starts at 10 pm.
All in all, a good vacation.
The flight went well, they took us to the hotel in a Mercedes)
Since we arrived at 17-00 (like) we were placed immediately.
The territory of the hotel is not big, the staff is very polite, attentive.
There are no complaints about the room, we had an ordinary one.
There was a mini market next to the hotel, the prices in it, by the way, were cheaper than in others.
The walk to the beach took about 7 minutes.
The beaches are clean, the water is a beautiful azure color.
The ticket included tomorrow and dinner (quite enough), it's good that we didn't take all inclusive, and if you want a cocktail, it will cost you only 2 euros, whether in a hotel or in any restaurant !!!
For tomorrow there was a large choice, coffee from the machine, juices, cereals, pastries, pancakes, pancakes, fruits, bacon, scrambled eggs, vegetables, potato balls . . in general, you will not stay hungry.
And dinner. . . wow. . . amazing, red fish, pork, beef, chicken in a wonderful sauce, lettuce, potatoes, rice, noodles and more.
My advice is to go exactly at the beginning of breakfast and dinner, since there are not many tables in the restaurant, and at the beginning it did not bother us, but at the end already, there were significantly more tourists.
The pool is not big, there are not enough sunbeds, some managed to occupy the whole day and not use it!!!
In the evenings you have the opportunity to visit discos, bars, restaurants, prices (I think) are cheaper than Crimean ones)))
The holiday was a success, we enjoyed it very much!
P. s. we were just on the eve of Easter, a couple of days it was cool.
I advise you to rest in Cyprus since May.
Minuses:
- monotonous food for breakfast: potato balls, scrambled eggs, sausages, oatmeal, cheese, watermelon, mussels. For dinner: chicken, fish, pork. On the last day, I didn’t even want to take anything, and the smell of fish at dinner made me sick.
- the territory of the hotel is quite small, but in Cyprus it is unnecessary, because all life takes place outside the hotel
- with half board for dinner, all drinks are paid, for example tea - 2.1 euros
- guided tours are more expensive than on the street
- paid rental of a safe at the reception (we did not take it), paid rental of a network adapter (we bought our own for 1.5 euros), a deposit for a remote control for an air conditioner 20 euros
-towels and linen are changed once a week, we washed and dried them ourselves, take towels with you, as well as soap, shampoos, you won’t wait for anything there
Pros:
- to bars and discos, Luna Park, shops, marina nearby (10-15 minutes);
- to the sea 10 minutes through the hotel which is being restored;
- next to the left is the Plus supermarket with inexpensive prices, there is also a bakery
- 2 times a week there is animation (live music + someone will be invited, or a dance with cups on their heads, or a fire show);
- stop near the hotel, fare 1 euro)
From the excursion we chose a trip to Kyrenia - 70 euros (Castle of St. Hilarion, Lusignan Castle, Belapais Abbey. I liked the tour very much, lunch was included, the whole tour takes place on Turkish territory, an interesting story). From the sea: sailed on the ship Aphrodite 2 -20 euros, trip 4.5 hours + lunch, from the water you can see the ghost town of Famagusta. I advise. We also took a trip on a fast boat with a transparent bottom Galaxy-40 euros, 2.5 hours, we saw a dolphin and turtles. I also advise you to go to the left of the hotel to the Cape of Love, a very beautiful place and to the water park. They took bugs, this machine costs 60 euros per day. It's like that's all)))
