This hotel is popular with tourists because of the price-quality ratio.
Also, it was fundamentally important for me when choosing a hotel that in 2017, renovation was carried out in Papantonia (the Year of construction: 1994).
Another advantage of Papantonia is that it is located in the PERNERA area, where it is quiet and sparsely populated, unlike the center of Protaras.
At the same time, a 20-minute walk through the fields from Papantonia to the center of Protaras.
There is information on the Internet that the name of Papantonia is: PAPANTONIA HOTEL APARTMENTS 4* or 3*.
In fact, the exact name of Papantonia is PAPANTONIA HOTEL APARTMENT.
It is important to pay attention to the following:
for first.
--------------------
The Papantonia Hotel DOES NOT HAVE A SINGLE star.
secondly.
------------------
Papantonia Hotel is part of the Tsokkos Hotels & Resorts hotel chain, the largest hotel chain in Cyprus (35 years on the market, 29 hotels in Protaras, Ayia Napa and Paphos).
This chain is distinguished by the fact that OVERBOOKING is widely practiced in its member hotels.
A tourist who has bought a tour package to the Papantonia hotel can, without his consent, be settled in another hotel of this chain, which can be much worse (old furniture and plumbing, the smell of sewage and detergents, dirt in the hotel, poor cleaning and service, ants /cockroaches /bedbugs in the room, far from the beach, strong noise from bars/karaoke to the morning, poor sound insulation in the room and much more).
As a rule, this happens with tourists from the Russian Federation.
Resume.

Optimization of expenses when traveling to Cyprus:
+ Buy a package tour, as in this case it is possible to save up to 50% of the cost of the trip compared to a separate booking of the hotel and flight.
+ Buy a tour package for early booking because you can save up to 30% of the cost of the trip.
+ Buy a travel package with meals at the hotel (HB or All).
We were satisfied with the rest in Protaras and directly at the Papantonia hotel.
What we expected, we got.
I can recommend Papantonia Hotel as a budget holiday option in Protaras,
BUT! provided that you don't get to overbooking.
The hotel is good, in the evenings there is a children's disco and an entertainment program for kids. In the restaurant area there are tables on the street and indoors, there are quite a lot of high chairs for feeding of various modifications. The rooms in the hotel have 1, 2 and 3 rooms. The 2-room room has one room- a kitchen-living room with a balcony, a small kitchen with a stove , refrigerator and sink, the second room is a bedroom with air conditioning. In the bedroom there is a small wardrobe with a safe and a minimum number of hangers, a large mirror and a dressing table, 2 bedside tables next to the bed. If you are traveling with a small child, you will also have a playpen cot. The bathroom is combined, shower, sink and toilet. There are no towel hooks in the bathroom, so either take it with you, or hang it on the door, partition, or wherever you attach it.
For breakfast and dinner, the diet is quite modest, the choice is not very large, mainly fries, eggs, and some meat. There are several types of salads.
The nearest beach with the sea is a 5-minute walk through a more expensive hotel of the same chain. Next to the beach is small, but cozy, with good Internet for €, when paying for sunbeds, you are given a receipt with a password to wi-fi, valid for exactly one day. If you don't need the Internet, you can lie down on the free lawn beds that belong to the hotel chain. In the pools near the building, the water was cold in October, you can't swim with a child. The children's pool has a waterfall. There is a playground with slides on the territory of your hotel, which will be interesting for kids.
In general, the hotel is good, you can buy a tour without meals and eat by yourself.
The hotel is wonderful, the food is not like in Turkey, but you will not stay hungry, the food is always fresh, the cleaning is excellent, towels are changed in a timely manner. We stayed at this hotel 4 times, we were never disappointed, I recommend it!
