The room was cleaned daily, bed linen was changed every other day, but we had to remind about beach towels, however requests were immediately fulfilled.
The guy from the Biblio-Globe came every day at 5 p. m. I have no complaints, but I was very persistent with offers of tours, although these offers are every 100 meters on the main street along the coast. There is always Russian-speaking staff at the reception, all issues are resolved very quickly.
The restaurant serves good food. The only downside is the breakfast. Always the same. But this one and the same large assortment, so only gourmets get bored. I didn't get bored in 9 days. Fruit always. For breakfast, porridge, different omelettes (omelet is the most delicious and unique thing for breakfast - I took it every morning, I recommend it), boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, cereal with milk, pancakes, stewed vegetables, tea, coffee, juices. There are a lot of things for lunch and dinner: different salads, soups, different meats, different side dishes, seafood, fish, different desserts. Cypriots do not cook fish well. I recommend taking meat and chicken. They have a very good lamb stew. In Novosibirsk, there is no such lamb in any restaurant.
The hotel has three swimming pools. The beach is very clean, sunbeds are no problem. Of the impressions - the Orthodox shrines of Kikos and the church of St. Lazarus. It makes no sense to describe, go, listen. Atheists believe. I guarantee!
Request to the Biblio-Globus to remove visiting wineries from the routes. Against the general background of the highest spiritual culture of the island, this looks like a cheap scam.
We were satisfied with the rest, the vacation was a success.
1. Flight Kyiv-Larnaca Boeing 737-800 on schedule and without problems. Tour operator in Kyiv "News Travel", in Larnaca "Prometheus". For the second year in a row I fly with these tour operators - all for 5. The meeting and accommodation are very worthy. I ordered a superior room with a sea view (where I settled with my wife and daughter 11 years old).
2. Hotel: I live in the second building on the second floor. Very nice view and very fresh room. Cleaning every day at 4, but we are satisfied. Very good pool and sea location. The pool is not interesting to me, and so, to the pool 10 meters from the sea 20. There are very few sun loungers on the sea, and there are no problems near the pool. So, we lay down near the pool and went swimming in the sea. Sunbeds are free (big plus). Towels are changed every day on the ground floor of our building.
3. Food: I'm not picky, but (in my opinion) because of him the hotel has 4 stars, not 5. Everything is monotonous from day to day, but that's okay, but there is no seafood at all (very disappointing). For breakfasts and lunches, you can go in and sit down anywhere and in anything (except for swimming trunks and without a top), you can’t go to dinner in shorts and T-shirts. At dinner you are greeted and seated. You take drinks for breakfast yourself, and for dinner a waiter comes up to you and you order (call the room number, number of people and sign on a piece of paper). The schedule is necessary for the hotel's reporting and nothing more, so you should not worry at all. There are three pools - one for babies, it is very small, the second near my building - depth up to 1.80 (near it there is a bar from 10 to 17.00), the third near the central building - there is a bar until 24 o'clock. A list of free drinks (coffee, tea, cola , beer, ice cream, milk and some alcoholic drinks) ask the bartenders.
4. Excursions: a) Were in the Limassol water park - very good, few people, a lot of sun loungers, but slides for 4. (in Ayia Napa it is better).
b) Donkey riding - if it's your first time in Cyprus, then I think you'll like it very much, but it's better in Ayia Napa. (these are different farms).
c) Odyssey is a boat trip with 70 people, with three stops for swimming, drinking and lunch. We liked.
d) fishing on the dam - nothing but it starts at 8-30 and at 12.00 it is impossible to fish (although it is there) because it is very hot. I do not recommend other fishing trips - it's just a boat trip.
5. A HUGE THANK YOU AND RESPECT TO THE HOTEL GUIDE IRINA. Very attentive and sociable person. She recommended to us, among other things, the restaurant Ocean Basket. Various dishes are served there, but most of all we liked the seafood specialty. This is an assortment of shrimp, fish, mussels, squid, rice and potatoes - YOU LICK YOUR FINGERS. It costs 25 euros for 2 people). We ate oysters - 2 euros a piece, Lobster - 20 euros a piece.
TOTAL:
A very good hotel (if food is not important for you), excellent location, Russian-speaking staff). There is little entertainment for children, but there is. But in Ayia Napa I liked it more. she is a resort, and Limassol is a city.
I wish you all a pleasant holiday
The location of the hotel is very good. In the depths, on the very shore of the sea. I took a room with a sea view, so there is no noise. Walk 20 meters to the sea. There are no problems with sunbeds at all. The sea is warm, the room is very fresh. Safe for a fee, minibar too.
FOOD: Good, but monotonous. Same thing for five days. The food, in my opinion, does not correspond to the level of 4+, most likely to 3, but we did not come here to eat ...Drinks listed in the menu of all bars are free. For dinner, it is necessary to come in trousers and without T-shirts - as everywhere else.
Guide: Irina is very attentive. Everything will tell and show. Happens at the hotel every other day. This is a big plus. For this Prometheus 5.
There is practically nothing for children. There is a Lunapark, but very small and almost everything. The hotel has a small playground for the little ones.
And now a little comparison (my personal opinion):
Last year, my wife and my daughter for 9 years rested in Cyprus in AYA -_NAPA at the Atlantica Club Sungarden Beach 4 hotel. The network is the same, but the rooms are better in Miramar (they are newer), food in Ayia Napa (every day is different cuisine and there have always been mussels, shrimp, squid and other seafood). The sea in Miramar is closer and a private beach with free sunbeds. The infrastructure of the city is definitely Ayia Napa. Huge Lunapark, which is open in the evenings and where you can spend a lot of time. A bunch of cafes and entertainment (both for children of any age and for adults). The water park is larger and steeper than the slides in Ayia Napa, but there are fewer people in Limassol. Limassol is a resort city where people live all year round, and Ayia Napa is only a resort.
In general, the hotel leaves a very pleasant and positive impression. We come here to relax, but not ... .
I didn’t like the guide from Natalie Tours - Inna, we haven’t seen anything like this yet, she’s absolutely amorphous, she’s not interested in anything, she doesn’t solve tourists’ questions, she can’t advise excursions, everything is very good and interesting with her - choose for yourself. I heard a lot of people complain about it.
Hotel! Very nice, bright, clean, comfortable, renovation apparently was not so long ago. Cleaning in the room daily, they cleaned very well, everything was clean, no tip was left. The room is quite spacious, comfortable and clean. Towels are a separate story, fresh water in Cyprus is not as free as in Ukraine, so the hotel staff asks its guests to use towels more than once if possible. Dirty towels are asked to be folded into the bathroom for replacement, clean ones are left on the holders. Very polite treatment, and does not cause any negative emotions, I think that many reacted to this request with understanding. To be honest, sometimes it’s even strange and wild to read in reviews that towels have not been changed for 2-3 days. Tourists, do you change your towels at home every day?
The cuisine is wonderful, varied, of course, with such an abundance, on the 11-12th day, you really don’t want anything, everything is a little boring. Meat to choose from is different in equal form - lamb / mutton, beef, pork in baked form, smoked, fried, steamed, etc. Salads are different, as one of the vacationers put it, "not like in Turkey, it is not clear from what products they are made"; )) With seafood, there was almost always one salad - shrimp or octopus or mussels. Lots of different Italian dishes. The fish was often 4-5 times there was salmon. What is nice is that nothing ends, if something is taken apart, then they immediately bring a new dish. Not like in Egypt and Turkey, if something tasty and did not come first, then everyone who got up first and slippers. There are enough different sweets, all sorts of creams and mousses, everything is very tasty. Fruits - watermelon, grapes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines.
If not ALL inc, then all drinks, including water, are paid, except for breakfast. For breakfast, all drinks are included in the price. The prices for drinks in one of the reviews in Cyprus have already been announced.
The service in the restaurant and in the hotel in general is very good, nice staff, special thanks to the hostesses - Antonio, a very cool man, it's a pity we didn't have time to say goodbye to him.
The animation is also pretty good, though not every day)) What I mean is, of course, there is some kind of show every day, but the song evening from some elderly peasant did not impress us very much, here it is twice a week. The illusionist's show was interesting, and we and the child liked it, a chic fire show. Animation for children is not very active. All the children gathered in the miniclub played Uno cards, and once again built castles on the beach, in the evening minidisco and the same UNO cards, I must say that the children liked this game. So, alas, there was no such active children's animation as in Atlantica Oasis. For adults (and children) water volleyball in one of the pools until 12.00, from 12 - water aerobics, after lunch Zumba fitness. The animation team is very young, pleasant, polite, very smiling. I would like to mention Nastya - she was engaged in children, Monica and Fatma, as well as the handsome Georgy and the girl who did the Zumba fitness.
The beaches are all municipal, I can not say that they are very clean. We saw how the cats living in the hotel went to the toilet in the sand on the beach. The entrance to the sea is not very pleasant, since this is a rocky island, you should not expect anything else.
In general, the island is very beautiful in its own way, we went on a jeep safari in the Akamas conservation area and a tour on donkeys. She impressed us all very much, we advise everyone, you won’t regret it, just take an evening tour, it’s not so hot and the show is more colorful. Sea of positive and impressions.
Summary - the rest turned out to be very good, positive, left a lot of impressions, energized. To everyone who helped us in getting all these positive impressions, a big separate thank you!! ! Cyprus is worth visiting at least once to form your own opinion.
