My husband and myself have just returned from our first stay at the cavo maris in Cyprus. Where do I start? This hotel is one of the best we have stayed in, and we have visited a few in Cyprus. The setting is ideal, in between Aiya Napa and Protaras. So you can visit either place during the day or evening for 1 euro each on the bus which stops just outside the hotel itself. And if you choose to go out for the evening there's no problem getting home because they run till 4 in the morning. 2.50 euro after 11.30pm. The hotel is fabulous. The staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you. Our room had a side sea view, very clean, modern with very good air con. Just a little tip tho if you have long hair. Take your own dryer as theirs don't have a filter on the end to stop it sucking in your hair ouch! The maids do a marvelous job cleaning, towels are changed everyday and think the bedding was changed more than twice a week. We took our own travel kettle but you can hire one. Not that you need one as there is a vacuum jug and the bar will fill it with boiling water for you and it stays hot for a good while. On every floor near the lifts there are water stations where you can get drinking water, ice cold to either fill your drink bottles or your vacuum jug. There is a mini fridge but for a cost of 3euro a day but we didn't use it. Did get a safe at the same price tho. The food was definitely 4* lots of variety and theme evenings throughout the week. If your not all inclusive, we were half board, you can have drinks at the table but have to pay on your room bill. The carafe's of water are free so just ask when the waiter comes to take your room number. If you do go half board and decide to go out for food in the evening you can have a lunch instead, you don't have to explain to anyone. Just go in and eat. We celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary while there and returned to our room to find a basket of fruit, flowers, chocs and a bottle of bubbly. We felt very spoilt.. So thank you Cavo Maris for that. The entertainment was a mixture of allsorts, we didn't stay in much, we preferred to go down to protaras on an evening but did return earlish sometimes to join in the fun. Won Bingo!!! The drinks are a little overpriced but all hotels are the same in my experience. The drinks during the day are expensive at the pool bar too, guess that's when its best to go all inclusive. But there is a little shop that sells cans of pop and crisps cheaper and down on the beach is a small hut selling drinks too. The beach is beautiful and clean, the water is heavenly after a hot day sunbathing.You do have to pay for the sunbeds there but if you stay on the hotel gardens the sunbeds and brolly's are free. Beach towels can be hired. You pay 5euro which you get back at end of holiday and pay 50c every time you want to change your towels. Excellent Idea!They even have an icecream van calls every hour, selling huge cornets for 1 euro. He did a roaring trade. On the beach there's a small harbour where you can do all the watersports from. The boat trip for 3hrs is a must, we did it twice. Definitely worth the 10euro each. Think its 14 in high season. Oh and the Red Bus is good too. but if you do go on it remember to put plenty of suncream on your face, arms and top. Its windy on the top deck and you get a gorgeous tan. We will definitely be returning to this hotel.
