We came in October half-term. We booked a standard room as this was our 4th trip abroad this year so we needed to budget a bit. I would say if this is your only holiday, or if you can, upgrade. We had very little privacy on the balcony and a side sea view. Our main view was overlooking the side of the Italian restaurant building- which wasn’t wonderful. The rooms are modern and comfortable. There are plenty of power outlets, a hairdryer, a fridge, a decent bathroom with a good shower. The design of the bathroom is one which doesn’t soak the floors either. I also liked the blue nightlight on the wall which stayed on at night as I don’t like the room completely dark. My husband and I were happy with our beds but our teenage son was not so happy with his cot/ sofa bed. It was quite small for him and he complained a lot about it and it hurt his back. We were bed and breakfast. Breakfast was certainly nothing to write home about. I like healthy food. This was mainly fried, greasy, cheap food; processed meat; basic pastry; unappetising fruit from the discount stand or from the tin and a pot of porridge - which was more like gruel. The bread was ok but there was no hygienic means of serving it. The catering staff all looked like they needed a good wash too! I was glad we were not half-board. The staff were also rude and argued with each other creating an unsettling atmosphere. Many were not Cypriot: cheap labour and they clearly resented their situation. It was uncomfortable. It was even hard to find and clean, prepared tables and Rheeya restaurant was grubby. By the sixth day I couldn’t face another god-awful breakfast and walked to Costa up the road! Breakfast was made worse by the horrendous drone of music blasting out from the speakers: the likes of Ronan Keating, Foreigner, Roxette, Michael Bolton etc just to ruin your holiday vibe and put you in a mood for the day. The hideous music, which sounded like a Mother’s Day gift CD from 1997, persisted around the pool during the day too: depressing and endless; totally destroying any holiday vibe. The awful music was so loud that it even blasted into our room so we not want to open the balcony door. We mainly just went to the beach to avoid it. Further along the beach to avoid the music! The beach was nice and clean, but be aware that it is not part of the hotel and not free! The sun loungers and umbrella are a standard cost of €2.50 an item. The beach belongs to the municipality. You don’t need to bring beach / pool towels with you as these are given by the hotel. Some are quite faded and worn but nevertheless it saves you packing them and you can replace them when wet or dirty. The spa area is the best part of the hotel: professional and relaxing with pleasant staff. It was a shame the steam room was broken but we booked a massage. My husband loved his and I enjoyed mine. The only issue I had was we paid for 75 minutes and I was done after 66. I don’t know if this was because it was the special o
Muy bueno
