Spring 2018 The hotel has been refurbished so most of the information in earlier reviews is no longer up to date. The plumbing is new, there are no puddles in the bathroom, the furniture is new modern, the mattresses and pillows are comfortable, our room on the 2nd floor was at the level of the Turkish "5" (the only difference is the absence of a refrigerator, which can be taken for 2 euros per day (but we didn’t need) and water in the room, but you can take water from the cooler on the 1st floor), and bed linen is even better.

True, sometimes there was a specific smell in the bathroom, but I observed the same smell in some "5" hotels.
We took the adapter for the outlet from the TV (since we didn’t watch it, we didn’t have time for it), we completely managed one. If you need more, you can buy at any store. Rooms are cleaned every day, linen and towels are changed every 3 days according to the schedule. We did not see any insects, however, we took out the food garbage immediately from the room ourselves.
We only took breakfast, there was not much variety, we asked the neighbors - they were very pleased with the dinner - delicious, varied, first + second, vegetables and fruits.
A big plus of the hotel is the Russian-speaking and very responsive administrators, especially Olga, who will answer any question. You can also take a booklet from the Cypriot tour desk from her, prices are much lower than those of a hotel guide and a large selection. By the way, everyone who visited the donkey farm was delighted!
In general, after reading the reviews on many sites, we were prepared for the worst, but it turned out that it was a very decent hotel and, on occasion, I would gladly stay there. I think it’s worth taking a few clothespins with you (if the wind rises, it can throw something drying off the balcony) and a soap dish or a small shelf with suction cups, since there is no shelf in the shower (as in most 5-star hotels).
Yes, it takes 6-7 minutes to walk to the nearest beach. And after checking out at 12.00, we spent another day in Larnaca very comfortably (there was an evening flight), we had a lobby with Wi-Fi, a locker room, a toilet, a shower, drinking water, a swimming pool and the hospitality of the staff. Rest in the "Cactus" liked!

The hotel is close to the sea and the beach, where there are few people. Close to the airport - fast transfer, which is not bad for children - they often get sick. There are grocery stores within walking distance in the vicinity. You can quickly and inexpensively buy a snack. True, you need to look for them a little.

There are grocery stores within walking distance in the vicinity. You can quickly and inexpensively buy a snack. True, you need to look for them a little.
The city center is half an hour on foot. Close to the waterfront. You can walk to the salt lake.
The staff is friendly and Russian speaking. Cheerful and polite.
The air conditioner is working. There is hot water.
Safe for a fee of two euros per day. We didn't use it. They left documents and money without a safe - nothing was missing.
The plumbing works. Toilets are new.
We were warned not to bring towels to the beach.
If without any special claims, a good hotel to sleep and spend all the time in the city and on the beach. Cheap and angry.
The reason for writing this review is the food.
Breakfast.
Groundhog Day.
Cereal (I now hate cereal), milk (no color, taste or smell),
sausage, eggs,
margarine (pure grease),
jam (what is it made of?? ) in microscopic containers.
Every single day.
BUT: this is the only meal when I could just EAT.
We didn't have lunch. But I heard from a neighbor - "I have the impression that for lunch they gave us something that they did not eat for breakfast. " And very, very scarce. To which she was told, "And this is not lunch, this is a second breakfast. "
Apotheosis is dinner.
He has a special ritual. There is no menu. Every dinner is a little surprise. But he will always have the same end - a wild thirst and a brutal feeling of hunger.
The main characters are the boss and manager.
So let's go.
Soup is a special dish, the composition of which (bet ?! ) you will never be able to determine. Although there is so much glutamate or other flavor enhancer that it won't matter to you.
The manager gives out plates and the chef puts BY THE PIECE what he has prepared. Don't even think about asking for more! Forget about your habits in the pioneer camp.
My wife took an extra piece of watermelon - a transparent corner 15 cm long, for which she was punished with such a piercing look from the manager that we didn’t try anymore. He looked so that I had a piece stuck in my throat.
Once, we were given three small pieces of meat (like everything that has no smell and taste), and there were two of them for our daughter (the chef explained, “Baby! ”. Like you shouldn’t get drunk at the expense of the child. )
Even rice (why is it crumbled, maybe waste? ) It was impossible to put as much as needed. Even potatoes were handed out by the piece.
Our daughter saved us. We just ate after her and somehow survived until dinner.
Maybe it was for our health that such a Gulag was organized, but we were not warned about it.

Vacationing with children. I don't know what anyone wants from 2 stars. . But. . The room was cleaned every day and it was clean. Settled instead of 2 o'clock in the afternoon at 11 o'clock. The staff is very friendly, polite, helpful and kind. The food was very delicious. Linen and towels are pure white. People, if you go with a smile and a good heart, then they will meet you like that.

The hotel is suitable for two stars. We arrived in Cyprus at 8 am. After half an hour we were at the hotel, but according to the rules, check-in is at 14:00. Therefore, we were tired and forced to sit in the hotel lobby with suitcases and wait for about 6 hours. The rooms are not big, but that doesn't stop you from relaxing in any way.

We arrived in Cyprus at 8 am. After half an hour we were at the hotel, but according to the rules, check-in is at 14:00. Therefore, we were tired and forced to sit in the hotel lobby with suitcases and wait for about 6 hours.
The rooms are not big, but that doesn't stop you from relaxing in any way.
Hot and cold water is available.
There is also air conditioning in the room, but we found mold in it, which gives an unpleasant smell when the air conditioner is turned on for a couple of minutes.
Wifi is not available in the rooms, only in the hotel lobby. And its connection costs 5 euros.
Right under the rooms there is a cafe-bar with a swimming pool, and the music screams from there until at least one in the morning, which makes it difficult to fall asleep.
The room is cleaned every day, but at different times, and the cleaners fly into the room only after knocking. They only know Russian: "cleaning".
Food in a nearby hotel, but this is not difficult, because. he is very close.
The food is a buffet with a small selection of dishes, most of which are topped with huge amounts of vinegar.
There are very few tables to eat at.
It's a 15 minute walk to the city center which is pretty close.
To a good beach about 3 minutes walk.

Rested at the hotel Cactus in June this year. I decided to write a review, but first I read what other people write. I'm a little surprised by the kind of reviews people leave about a two-star hotel. It's not like that, and it's not like that. But it's like you don't know where you're going? Just because the Egyptian "five" can be equal in price to the Cactus, this does not mean that the Cactus should correspond to what you saw in Egypt.

It's not like that, and it's not like that. But it's like you don't know where you're going? Just because the Egyptian "five" can be equal in price to the Cactus, this does not mean that the Cactus should correspond to what you saw in Egypt. This means that holidays in Cyprus are more expensive than holidays in Egypt. This means that it is much more pleasant to be among the Cypriots than among the Arabs. That nearby infrastructure is better. That the service is better. That the sea is clean, and not gasoline like in the bays of Hurghada, and with a gentle entrance, and not like in Sharm el-Sheikh with its pontoons. And it also means that the person did not come to rest, but for his functions he performed the work of a hotel inspector. Even now there are people who go as savages to the Crimea or Anapa and have a great rest. And Cactus, in terms of comfort level, would seem to them like Mardan Palace!
Well, now in order.
The rooms are normal. They have everything that is necessary for human life activity. Cleaned up frequently and well.
To the sea about 150 meters. Good quality municipal beach. Fans of free umbrellas and sun loungers will be upset of course. But for lovers of the sea - just right.
The hotel has its own swimming pool (small) and a bar from the infrastructure. That is, there is somewhere to sit atmospherically. Not everyone likes big ones.
crowds of tourists in one area. I travel alone, so it was easier for me to get to know each other here.
Fed in a nearby hotel San Remo.
Breakfast is so-so, but lunches and dinners are just fine! In general, if you are not picky and would like not to go on vacation on credit, then that's it.

Cactus is not a good hotel, not clean. There are packs of cats in the dining room. Flies get into your mouth. There are no tablecloths. Disrespectful attitude towards people. Rested in June 2014. The room was not cleaned for many days, then the cleaning lady washed it with a dirty rag. The food is disgusting.

I bought all-inclusive, but there was no fruit, disgusting tomatoes, juices from concentrate packages. There was ice cream. Of the all inclusive, only drinks, you ask for them as alms, there was nothing to include. The air conditioners did not work. Have gone to the Sanremo hotel. In the hotels "Sanremo" and "Flamingo" the same thing, because the same owner. Advantages - the sea, there were good maids. Disadvantages - food, disrespect for people, poor and rare cleaning, no fruit for all inclusive. Stayed in June 2014, type of trip: trip alone

On the 2nd line, located in the heart of the city, next to the San Remo 2 * hotel. Very narrow beach, 200 m to the sea. Shops, cafes nearby. The promenade is 1 km away. The territory is small, not big rooms. There is food "all inclusive", very scarce, monotonous. Not worth your money. For young people and as an option to spend the night.

The room was overlooking the pool. Two 1 sleeping beds, we connected the cat and everything you need has already been described in other reviews. Everything is fine, they cleaned every day (took out the trash), changed bedding and towels 2 times a week. Cheerful front desk staff. Alina and Luis, Saida's Russian-speaking girl, always helped.
