No way this place deserves anything like 4 stars. This hotel is old. Not charming, vintage old, just worn out, almost decrepit, it doesn't feel inviting but has a nasty 70s feel to it. It doesn’t help that you’re not supposed to flush toilet paper (see unsightly pull plug to flush in the photo), that water in the shower is weak (only bottled water is), wifi in the rooms is painfully slow and keeps dropping (at least this place has it, some "four star" establishments in the area only have it in the reception area). My room had an antiquated A/C with a remote control unit that looked and felt like it could use disinfection. Linen is poor quality by any standard and you can feel and hear something plastic on the mattress underneath the sheet. Pillows are unusual, uncomfortable and have an unpleasant smell, I wrapped one in a clean towel to use for sleeping. Now, I’m not too fussy or spoilt and I understand this is a business but everything here just feels cheap and neglected, as if no one even cares. Food: good bakeries generally seem to be few and far between in this part of Cyprus but the bread served at breakfast here is just weird, there's two kinds, a tired, unappetising white bread and a 2nd kind, possibly whole-grain but sticky and with a suspicious, grey color, wouldn’t look out of place in a Midnight Express remake. Some cheeses are available that might be OK but sausages and hot dogs just look bad and I didn’t dare ingest any. Staff here is friendly for the most part but people in general appear untalented for tourism and it feels as if they don’t really appreciate their guests, they're just a necessary evil to extract hard currency. And don’t expect anyone to speak English, not even at the airport, that’s how they roll here, it’s a different mentality, alien and often frustrating for a European mindset. There’s an outside pool with extremely warm and strangely opaque water that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Sea water also is far too warm to relieve you from extreme sunshine and heat and it’s quite a drag being on the beach, it’s just extremely hot and extremely boring, there’s nothing to make your stay more entertaining or enjoyable, not even a single beach ball for at least kids to play, the whole experience is just very bland. Food in local restaurants is somewhat better but nothing to write home about, frozen fish from fish farms and frozen shrimp of grey color, hardly the kind of seafood you'd expect on an island. There’s a small 24/7 store not far away from the hotel with a selection of processed food, mostly sweets, probably due to lack of A/C inside. For the first time in my life I was on holiday and counting days for it to be over.…
