"Island of Aphrodite", "Golden Apple of the Earth" - this is how Cyprus is often called. This island in the Mediterranean Sea has been considered one of the popular destinations for those who prefer a beach holiday for several decades.

general information

The nature of Cyprus is amazing: rocky shores alternating with sandy beaches, mountains covered with forests, an amazing sea - all this conquers even the worldly traveler. Many people joke that there is no sun for only a month on the island. This is not surprising, because it is under the influence of the Mediterranean climate. Here everyone can choose a place to their liking: in Cyprus there are resorts where incessant fun reigns, as well as those that are conducive to solitude. The island is full of attractions, developed tourist infrastructure.

Young people traditionally come to Ayia Napa, where nightclubs and discos, restaurants and karaoke bars are located on the central promenade. The beaches offer numerous water activities such as diving and paragliding, water skiing, windsurfing, etc.

Couples who come to the island with young children generally opt for Larnaca, Limassol. They are chosen because of the wide range of entertainment offered, convenient entry into the water and fine sandy beaches. With children, they come to Protaras, which has gained fame as a resort, where there are no noisy parties and no discos at all. Nevertheless, there are many young people who come here for first-class diving.

The length of the coastline, clean beaches, peaceful nature and the azure sea - this is how tourists speak of Protaras. This small town, located in the southeast of the island, has a highly developed tourist infrastructure. There are many hotels, restaurants and cozy cafes that offer delicious dishes, including those from national cuisine.

Protaras hotels offer high quality service. Five-star luxury complexes have spa and fitness centers, swimming pools, tennis courts, etc. Four-star hotels do not differ much from more expensive options in terms of the quality of services offered. Almost all of them are located on the coast, so the sea is visible from the rooms. One of these hotels is Anastasia Beach 4 *, which will be discussed in this article. Reviews of tourists indicate that it is an excellent choice.

Description

This four-star hotel is built in a place called Protaras, which is a small village that has been very popular with tourists for some time. In the era of antiquity, there was a large Greek city called Lefkola.

Today Protaras is a resort with wonderful beaches and developed infrastructure. In ten minutes you can drive from the hotel to another popular tourist center - Ayia Napa, where there are many entertainment venues designed primarily for young people. Another advantage of the Anastasia Beach 4 * Hotel (Protaras) is a short transfer, since the journey from the airport in Larnaca takes a maximum of forty minutes. This circumstance is another criterion when choosing a hotel.

(Protaras, Cyprus) is part of the Tsokkos Hotels hotel chain. It was built in 1998. Since then, the hotel has been renovated several times. The last major renovation was carried out last year. Proximity to the beach is a definite plus of this hotel. The bathing area "Marlita" is golden sand, azure sea and developed infrastructure.

Within a radius of one kilometer from Anastasia Beach 4 * (Protaras) there are several other excellent beaches, such as Sunrise, Kalamies or Trinity.

The hotel has a convenient location, which will be appreciated by tourists who combine relaxation with visiting local historical monuments. The monastery of Ayia Napa, the national park Cavo Greco, the water park can be reached in seven to ten minutes. The center of Protaras is within walking distance.

A beauty salon, a hairdresser's and a massage room also function in the administrative building. They can be visited for a fee.

The registration desk at Anastasia Beach Hotel 4 * is open around the clock. Employees will help you solve any problem that arises. Judging by the reviews, a Russian-speaking girl works here, so those who do not know English, let alone Greek, will not experience communication discomfort. Here, next to the reception desk, there is a left-luggage office and safe deposit boxes. Those who arrive at the hotel earlier than the hour established by the rules should not worry: if there are free rooms, registration is carried out immediately.

Holidays in the resorts of Cyprus can hardly be called cheap. Protaras is no exception.

For example, in Anastasia Beach 4 * (Cyprus), a seven-day stay of two tourists in May on an all-inclusive basis with an air flight from Moscow will cost 105 thousand rubles. Sea-facing apartments cost ten to fifteen thousand more.

Food

Most hotels in Cyprus offer tourists several types of food at once: breakfast, half board and all inclusive. Anastasia Beach 4 * (Protaras) is no exception. Feedback from our compatriots indicates that they were satisfied with the food served in the main restaurant of the hotel, which is called Athena. Many Russians advise buying all-inclusive tours, especially in summer. The fact is that at this time in Cyprus it is quite hot, so the desire to quench your thirst with drinks is constantly felt.

The hotel also has a cafe called Artemis, which serves fresh pastries, and the Hermes bar, where you can taste all kinds of drinks, including exotic cocktails. For those who purchase tours to Anastasia Beach 4 * on the all-inclusive concept, local drinks are offered free of charge. Another bar is located by the pool. Here you can get sandwiches, desserts.

Tourists who choose a different concept of accommodation can have a bite to eat in one of the nearby cafes.

Entertainment

Most tourists no longer perceive the hotel solely as a place for a short stay. Nowadays, hotels have grown into an option for a good pastime. Anastasia Beach 4* (Cyprus) is no exception. Protaras, reviews of which speak of a fairly developed tourist infrastructure of this resort, although small, but at the same time quite popular. The reason lies not only in its excellent geographical position, but also in the fact that you can have a great time here, combining a beach holiday with sightseeing. Separately, I want to say about the nearby water park.

When buying a tour to this hotel, many Russians are advised to immediately pay for a visit to the water park. Judging by the reviews, those tourists who relax with children often come here.

Leisure activities on site

Many Russians are advised to book sea-facing rooms, especially for those traveling with small children. The fact is that in the evenings the pool can be noisy, and this can prevent the kids from sleeping.

Services for children

The restaurant for small customers has a special menu and high chairs.

Anastasia Beach (4*, Cyprus): reviews

Many Russians liked the hotel. The number of rooms and the location are rated at a fairly high score. The filling of the apartments is quite good, there is all the furniture necessary for a normal rest. Soaps, gels, etc. are brought daily, cleaning is also carried out with high quality. Lots of good reviews for the staff.

There are some differences in opinion about nutrition. For some, the food seemed quite tasty and varied, while others, on the contrary, believe that it could be better. Nevertheless, many reviews say that no one leaves the restaurant hungry. There are a lot of fruits and vegetables on the menu, seafood is served at least twice a week, there is always fish.

Our compatriots were also satisfied with the beach. It is clean, you can always find free sunbeds. There is no need to talk about the sea: it is magnificent in Cyprus.

The only thing everyone agrees on is the high price of the Internet. Ten euros for a two-hour use is considered unacceptable by almost all Russians.

Summing up, we can say that the vast majority of Russians were satisfied with their choice, moreover, many are going to return to this hotel again.

1. This is a very dirty hotel. Dirty everything: front desk in the dust; dirty curtains in the room, walls, tiles in the bathroom, stained doors, furniture, gray sheets, crib; in the restaurant where breakfast is served, dirty chairs, tablecloths, places for distributing food, dishes (especially forks), containers for collecting garbage on tables; in the halls there is a dirty carpet with small debris, bags of garbage, the elevator is dirty, there is hair on the board of the pool. 2. Staff in the restaurant - at least 10% in dirty clothes. Administrator Eugene without a badge and did not immediately admit how she can be contacted. The manager confidently replies that such a degree of contamination of the calving is normal, because. 600 people live at the same time. 3. The lock in my room did not open twice in the evening, I had to contact the reception. As compensation for the time spent, they provided a free lunch for 2 adults and one child under 2 years old. The restaurant where lunch is served is the only clean place. 4. The quality of breakfast food is disgusting. The quality of dishes for lunch corresponds to the level of fast food in Russian cities. 5. The pool water smells strongly of chlorine. In the sea, at a depth of knee-deep, sharp stones begin. There are almost black stones on the beach, insects such as wood lice are found in them. There are quite frequent swampy puddles near the beach with a corresponding smell. It takes 20-25 minutes to walk to the nearest good beach. 6.. maximum 25 sq. (visually), if you count with a balcony. The view of the room also does not match the photos, while the furniture is the same, but only old and dirty. The bottom of the bed had the bottom torn off, the ceiling showed signs of flooding with peeling paint, the curtains had been torn from the eaves. 7. During breakfast, water spilled out of the juice machine, it was wiped off with beach towels, which were then left on the floor as a barrier to further spreading of water. 8. It is very good that I had a reservation for only one day. We safely moved out and placed

The lunch soufflé is delicious. Thanks to the benevolent employee Valeria.

Our trip consisted of two parts: 7 days in Protaras and 4 days in Ayia Napa. Perhaps due to age, we liked Protaras much more. The variety of nearby beaches and reasonable prices played a decisive role. In Protaras, wherever you go along the embankment, everywhere is beautiful and calm in its own way. The sea is very beautiful, whether it is sandy beach or rocks. Ayia Napa reminded us of Anapa, there is nowhere to walk, the sea is knee-deep, and on the beaches everyone was in each other's heads and this was at the end of the Maya ... We liked the Anastasia Hotel already after the fact, as they say, everything is known in comparison. At first, we were embarrassed that the balcony of the room overlooked the roadway, and we took the cheapest room, and the roar of tourist buses strained us, which brought tourists in the morning or late in the evening. On the other hand, when the door was closed, there was excellent soundproofing. I especially want to note the incredible sensitivity of the air conditioner, it reacted to every degree, set the temperature according to the time of day and mood. Believe me, this is not always the case in the best hotels in Europe. Not a little important point is that the sockets worked even without a card from the room and it was possible to charge phones not only in the presence in the room. The staff is extremely responsive! It so happened that my husband and I flew on different flights, I was in the morning, and he was in the evening. My husband called that he was late for dinner and I asked to take some food to the room. Salads, meat with a side dish, and fruit were brought to me without additional payment. By the way, with regard to food, I can’t help but write that they fed a lot, tasty and always varied. Breakfasts are such that before dinner there was no thought to go for a snack. And of course ice cream... strawberry popsicle in white chocolate for free.... as a child, I could not tear myself away)). And Ayia Napa ordered the famous Kleftiko (mutton stew) in a restaurant for a lot of money, so I cried, remembering how tasty this dish was cooked in Anastasia and how bad it was in a street restaurant. Particular attention should be paid to the water park.

Cleaning is bad! The cleaners next to the room smoked and the stench went to our room. There is no Wi-Fi, or rather it is paid and very expensive. The room is small and cramped! TV sometimes just did not work. There are no mosquito nets and mosquitoes bite! Plumbing is old, covered in scale and rust.. Stay for 10 nights

Room cleaning. It was so dusty that I had to wipe the surfaces with wet wipes before putting things out. The balcony was dirty. Candy wrappers and papers are scattered in the corridors. The day before our departure, a group of Austrian pensioners stopped by. By their arrival, everything was cleaned and continued to wash. It was a shame that such conditions were not organized for us.

Very welcoming and friendly staff throughout the hotel, especially I would like to mention the waiters in the restaurant. Delicious, varied food. Breakfasts are mostly traditional, and there was even a multi-grain porridge. Soft fresh croissants. Delicious cookies. Dinners are great. There was always something new and varied food. I liked the ice cream very much. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are soft. Booked 2 rooms and were very happy to be given rooms next door. There was a side view of the sea. Awesome! Linen was changed every 3 days. Towels every day. Great to have free parking. Wifi 24€/week worked great.

Time of stay: March 2018

Do not use hotels of the Tsokos series.
We returned from vacation a week ago. Impressions of the country are excellent, I want to return to Cyprus again, but definitely not to the hotels of the Tsokos series!
We took a ticket to another hotel in the Tsokos series - Papantonia 4 *. But a situation happened to us, described in many reviews here: there were not enough places for us in Papantonia, although the vouchers were bought back in April. Our mistake was that when we got off the bus, we didn’t rush to the reception desk, as a result, the family had enough seats in front of us, but we didn’t.
We were sent to Anastasia immediately for the entire duration of our stay. As compensation, they offered lunch (we had breakfasts and dinners) and a free coupon for visiting the water park. We were tired from the road, and even with a small child, so we resignedly agreed. And judging by the reviews, the fight would be useless.
At first glance, we liked Anastasia more than Papantonia. Closer to the beach, a beautiful hall, Russian-speaking staff at the reception (perhaps he was also in Papantonia, but we didn’t get to him).
The number, perhaps, does not correspond to 4 *, yes for Turkey, but not for Europe. Small but everything is quite new. The first night we spent the night in a room on the 4th floor overlooking the road and a piece of the sea. With such a view on the balcony, it is interesting to sit and drink wine, but that night we wanted only one thing - to sleep, which was not possible, because the music was blaring in the Blue Spice bar across the road. Even earplugs didn't help. But we chose Protaras as a quiet region, not as "noisy" as Ayia Napa. The next day they asked to change the room. After dinner, we were offered exactly the same room on the 4th floor, but with a view of the Aqua Park. The balcony is not so picturesque, but at night it will not be noisy, we thought. No matter how! Drunken karaoke every night entertained us perfectly, although not with the same strength as the bar music, but with the balcony door open, you still can’t sleep. And the air conditioner blows so well, and right on the child's bed, that after a few minutes you start to freeze. In short, during the night, I had to get up periodically and then turn on and then turn off the air conditioner, then open the balcony, in general, fun. Although, perhaps we are just some kind of Russian sissies ...
Cleaning is so-so. They make beds, do they wash the floor at all - is that a question ?? There was a thick layer of dust under the beds, and next to the balcony in the flower garden there were about 50 cigarette butts. True, shampoo and shower gel were put to us from the heart.
Now paid services. The safe is paid, as everywhere, it seems to me. Of course, the complete lack of free internet was embarrassing. Especially economical tourists can go to the Papantonia hall, where Wi-Fi is free, but the speed is so-so. For the Internet, we paid on the first day 24 euros for a week for two devices. The speed is good, somewhere in the reviews they wrote that it was low, but our child watched cartoons without braking and freezing, in general, we were satisfied.
It was possible to walk generally everywhere throughout the territory of Tsokos, to swim in any pool, no one stopped us. Papantonia has the most interesting children's pool, and the adult one is much cleaner than in Anastasia and Marlita, it seems to be newer. We didn’t go to Anastasia’s pool at all, there were sooo many people in it, there were a lot of foreigners.
The sea is very clean, warm, we really liked it. You can walk to the nearest beach, next to the Marlita hotel. There are free sun loungers with umbrellas on site next to the sea. We liked the beach a little to the left more, it is a little more spacious, and there is very clean sand. There are a lot of people in the season, by 10 o'clock the beach cove is more like a paddling pool. But if you swim further away, you can watch the fish, and the reefs are beautiful to look at.
Food for 4 with a minus. Often I came across inedible things - for example, undercooked rice, or completely unsalted pasta, strange salads, etc. But you will not stay hungry, choose carefully - and you can find very tasty dishes. for lunch the poorest choice. A nice bonus for every lunch and dinner is delicious ice cream. Fruit is enough.
The water park is not interesting, every day they would not go to it for a fee.
The wait staff was generally pleasant and friendly.
Everything would have been fine, but the last day spoiled the overall impression of the rest a little. The calculation for the room went through with problems. Firstly, they did not want to return the money for the towel to the husband. Because on the receipt, someone signed for handing in the towel and getting 10 euros for us. The girl at the reception behaved incorrectly. Unfortunately, there were no Russian speakers that day, and it was the day of departure, and we did not have to choose. She almost accused her husband of stealing this towel and now wants to collect 10 euros from her for no reason at all. They tried to prove to her that the signature of the person who received the money did not match either his or mine. In the end, she nevertheless returned the money to us, but with such a look that such a scandal was inflated because of such a trifle. Well, of course, 10 euros is such a trifle! However, we still had to pay the extra 24 euros. It turned out that the Internet was connected twice! And all because we changed the room, and we were charged twice. I didn’t have the strength to quarrel with this aunt again, I had to pay. And she talked with such an air that she didn’t give a damn about ours and in general for anyone else’s problems. We concluded for ourselves that, in general, this is the policy of Tsokos hotels. They do not care about your comfort, the main thing is to earn more. Advice to those who change rooms to check that everything is correctly issued at the reception and that they do not charge you for services twice.
We never caught animation, was it at all ??

Cyprus is not the most popular holiday destination among Russian tourists. Many prefer cheaper resorts in Greece, but in vain. Cyprus has its own zest in the form of clean beaches, rich excursion programs and quality service. The only disadvantage of vouchers here, perhaps, can only be their high cost. Nevertheless, if you still decide to go on vacation to the island, then pay attention to the Anastasia Beach 4 * hotel in Cyprus.

Location of Anastasia

The complex is located in the southeast of the island of Cyprus, on the territory of a small tourist village of Protaras. This place is famous for its clean sandy beaches and small rocky coves. The area is remote from the club life of the resort of Cyprus, so it is suitable for lovers of a quiet holiday with the family. Also, prices here are lower than in other resorts of the island. At the same time, the town is located near the famous center of nightlife in Cyprus - Ayia Napa.

The hotel "Anastasia" (Cyprus) is built right on the Marlita beach. The center of Protaras is only 15 minutes walk from here. The sandy beach is located 200 meters from the hotel, so the road to it will take about 5-10 minutes. You can get here from the nearest one which is 65 kilometers away. A car ride on flat roads will take no more than an hour. The pebbly beach of Kalamies is 1 km from the hotel. Sightseeing lovers will also have something to see. 5 kilometers away is the monastery of Agia Napa, as well as the national park "Kavo Greko". Tourists with children should visit the Protaras Ocean Aquarium, located 3 kilometers from the hotel.

General information about the hotel

"Anastasia" was built in 1998, during the construction of the Protaras resort. It is hard to believe, but a few decades ago there was a virgin forest where only date trees and shrubs grew. Hotel "Anastasia" (Cyprus) has one large four-story building, which has almost 200 rooms. It should be borne in mind that the hotel staff speaks only English and Greek, so there may be problems with understanding Russian-speaking tourists.

Their placement is strictly prohibited even for an additional fee. Check-in at the hotel starts at 14:00 local time. At the same time, tourists are often settled in a nearby hotel for 1-2 days. Check-out takes place no later than noon. Mostly British, Poles, Germans, Greeks rest here, but Russian tourists are not so common.

There are 190 rooms in the main building of the building. Among them there are family rooms and suites for newlyweds. Each room is soundproofed from the others, so guests will not hear their even very noisy neighbors. The rooms have a good, modern renovation, designed in a classic style. They all have spacious furnished balconies and some have their own terrace. The windows mainly overlook the sea, but it is possible to have a view of the surroundings and the water park.

Negative opinions of guests about the hotel

But, considering the hotel "Anastasia", which is mostly positive, it is worth considering the negative opinions of guests. Tourists note the following disadvantages:

• upon arrival, tourists can often be transferred for several days to another hotel, because there are not enough places in Anastasia;
• monotonous food, consisting mainly of fast food;
• very noisy in the evenings due to animation and restaurant with live music;
• poor private beach with constant wet sand, so you have to go to the neighboring ones;
• all animation is in English only;
• very slow and expensive internet;
• all the sockets in the hotel are of the English type, so you have to buy adapters in the store.

Should I choose "Anastasia"?

When choosing this hotel for a holiday, you should pay attention that it is more designed for English tourists. They are settled here in the first place, and all events are held in English. But the staff understands Russian and can even help solve your problems. It should also be taken into account that temporary accommodation in another hotel is a normal practice on the island of Cyprus. The Anastasia 4 * Hotel, reviews of which note this pattern, is no exception.

Despite these shortcomings, "Anastasia" is perfect for a quiet family vacation, for older couples, as well as for small friendly companies.
