Stayed at the Aqua Sol in early May for 4 nights, we just wanted a cheap, short break in the sun and we got it!
Weather was fantastic, really nice temperature, not too hot that you didn't want to get off your sun lounger. Pools and sea were a bit too chilly for me to venture into though and wore a little cardi at night as it got chilly.
The Aqua Sol itself is fine, it's cheap and you get what you pay for. We had a 1 bedroom apartment, which was quite big, basic, clean and suited us fine. There are 2 nice pools at the hotel and it's less than a 10 minute stroll into the main area (which was quite nice to walk after a big meal!!). It is at the bottom of a steep hill and we saw some older people and others with pushchairs struggling abit.
The only downsides to the hotel, for me, were the fact that it's right next door to a building site and although we were not disturbed by any noise (as noone was doing any work whilst we were there) the site was an eyesore and created alot dust and rubble, which didn't aid the journeys up and down the hill!
The 2nd downside for me was the plot of land that led from the hotel down to the sea. I don't know if the hotel actually own this land, but it was very unkept and wasn't very nice to look at, whilst laying by the pool.
This was our 1st visit to Cyprus and Coral Bay was more "English" than I thought it would be. We purposely chose a smaller resort as we didn't want the hustle and bustle and "Brits Abroad" reputation of Paphos, Limmasol or Aiya Napa. There were no large groups of teenagers, but the whole resort is aimed at the English, with karaoke every night, Elvis and Tom Jones impersonators and burger and chips on every menu.
So, all in all the break served it's purpose. We were glad we were only there for 4 nights (as we'd had enough of the naff entertainment) and if I consider going to Cyprus again, I'll visit the North where it's supposed to be more traditional.
