We arrived in the evening around 9, we were immediately sent for dinner, because it was already over. They sat at a table by the pool, put huge portions of food (usually a buffet, but this was an exceptional case, because we arrived late). This is a salad, potatoes, several types of meat, a dessert in the form of a piece of cake with cream, and pieces of pineapple. So much accommodating and friendly staff. The girl at the reception did not speak Russian, but for us it was not a problem. After dinner, we were given the keys, and we went to the room to rest. Small in size but very comfortable. We were going to charge gadgets and were surprised by the socket - a triple entrance. At the reception they bought an adapter for only 2 euros. In the morning we appreciated the view from our window. That's what see view means. Went down for breakfast: for three stars, quite a varied menu. There are various types of cereals, scrambled eggs, porridge, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, buns, croissants, fruits. After a full breakfast, we went to explore. Two steps to the sea. We pass through the pool along the path and go out to the sandy beach. At a meeting with a separate guide, we were told that the hotel has its own umbrellas and sunbeds on the beach (not many, but there are), unlike the city paid ones, it is very convenient to use them, the main thing is to get up early. This does not apply to us: we like to sleep longer. So we sunbathed on sun loungers by the pool, and went swimming in the sea. Thankfully it's pretty close. The hotel is located on the first coastline, but not far from the center - 15 minutes walk to the church of St. Napa. There are many shops and taverns nearby. We went to the amusement park, the sculpture park and drove to Konos beach (an amazing place).
We rested for only a week, but we will remember it for a long time, we did not even expect so many positive emotions.
I'm very glad we chose him.
We got from the airport by a group transfer, our hotel was the second in arrival, and the journey took about 50 minutes. We arrived in the morning, around 12 we were at the hotel. International standards, of course, have not been canceled, so we checked in, changed clothes, left our things for storage and went for a walk to the beach. We arrived at two o'clock and we were seated. Provided a sea view as per our booking. The rooms are clean, spacious and have a balcony. Air conditioning and safe are free. I knew about the adapters in advance, read the reviews, bought such a souvenir for 2 euros, now we can take it with us)
Now about the food: we had breakfast and dinner included.
The restaurant itself is not big, but there is variety. As far as Mashulya is picky about food, on the third day I stopped worrying about it. For breakfast, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, toast, muesli, yogurt, bacon, beans, potato croquettes. For dinner, several types of salad, sauces, meat, fish, chicken. From a side dish and potatoes, pasta, rice with vegetables. There are always fruits and sweets (chocolate cake is unrealistically delicious). I didn't expect this from a 3 star hotel.
A two-minute walk from the hotel is the sea, a sandy beach (which was important for me). I was a little surprised that the beaches are all municipal in Cyprus, and to use a sunbed, you need to pay 2.5 euros for one beach umbrella at the same price, but there are many shops nearby where you can buy towels and mats. About 10 minutes walk to the "plus" store (up the street and on the right), where they bought fruit and basic necessities.
The hotel is also 15 minutes from the center, where the main attraction is located - the church of St. Napa, they were guided by it when a bus stop was needed. The famous street of bars begins there, but I had no time for it.
Approximately the same amount of time to go to the city amusement park, where you can ride a carousel.
We went by bus to one of the most popular beaches in Ayia Napa, Nissi beach, but it’s beautiful there, but there are much more people. The water was like in the pictures that I looked at before the trip, a sandy spit to the island.
We rested for 9 days, there is no children's animation in the hotel. So, in order to diversify the rest, we decided to go somewhere. First of all, for me, the safety of my daughter, so I decided to take it from the hotel
guide, because if something happens, the street firm can then not be found.
One day was allocated for a historical trip (Paphos-Kurion), at first I was worried about how Mashulya would transfer the trip, after all, for the whole day, but the program was well drawn up so that there were always some stops, something to tell. We walked around the ancient theater, swam in the bay of Aphrodite, went to Byzantine churches, learned how local sweets are made and tried, and also walked along the Paphos embankment. Mashulya slept several times on the bus, she was tired, but only the most positive impressions remained. And just got out on a pirate ship. It takes only 5-7 minutes to go to the port.
Very convenient location, everything you need is within walking distance, and in the evening it is not noisy. The hotel staff do not all speak Russian (only a few people), but always try to help, polite and helpful. This is definitely the place where you want to return.
We have already booked this hotel for autumn, when the water warms up and it will be possible to spend more time at sea.
The check-in was surprisingly very fast, despite the fact that we arrived at 13:00. They explained to us that when there are free rooms, vacationers are not forced to wait until 14:00, besides, we were treated to cool drinks at the hotel's expense (it was very pleasant, it was very hot). We lived in a building next to the pool and overlooking the sea and the promenade of Ayia Napa. For the fact that we were quickly settled in a good room, no one demanded money, and in general there is no such thing in the hotel to demand money from vacationers. The room is clean and simple, cleaned very well, and we didn’t need anything else, since we are ordinary, not very demanding tourists.
The food is very tasty, in all the reviews people focus on this a lot. On my own behalf, I can add that I liked the way they cooked lamb, fish and beef, although fish could have been cooked more often. There are enough fruits, all very ripe, sweet and tasty, especially watermelon. The service of the waiters is very high (unexpectedly, this is a trio), they do everything quickly, constantly, but not intrusively, they ask if something else is needed. I also liked the reception, especially the administrator Victoria, who is always ready to help and suggest what and where, how best to get there.
The beach is 50 meters away, the water is clean and warm. I will not write anything about excursions, because. If you come to this hotel, you can decide for yourself on the spot.
From not very pleasant, the refrigerator is paid 2 euros per day (but we were told that this is the case for all triples), and the Internet is very expensive 2 euros per hour and 6 per day, we are used to having it everywhere and for free it was a little wild, but there is a way out you go to the nearest restaurant there and use it.
I could recommend this hotel for a family holiday, it really draws on 3+.
