After the departure of the European segment of visitors and the transition purely to Russians, services fell. If you haven 't been anywhere else , then it 's worth a trip . The buffet is sufficient but not terribly varied. Draft beer is poured, then what remains is new and fresh, for those who have everything included. The remote control from the air conditioner costs separate money. The cell is paid. The beach is not too far away. The waiters either understand or speak Russian. Either the manager or the kind of Russian-speaking polite. The pool is clean. It's all clear. They are fed together with non-residents. The locals come in a crowd and sit by the pool, discussing the world conspiracy. There are no conflicts. I liked everything except the main aunt in the restaurant, who mostly pours at the bar. There are no adapters for sockets for our plugs. No one climbs in , does not interfere , does not indicate . All entertainment is provided through our agency guides. Initially, do not show it if you know English ) one because of the semi-controlling aunt and the remote control from the air conditioner . Drinks were bought in a store far away or online so that this aunt 's face would not be met with old fermented drinks from a jug . It's generally fine. It feels like you came to an unfamiliar place and just rented a room. They don't bother you, they don't bother you. We talked when we took the key and when we returned it. Everything is intuitive.
Good evening ! I am currently in Cyprus at this Windmills hotel, it is considered a 4* type by tour operators, but on the website it is 3*, but in fact it does not deserve 2 * !!! The tour was taken for 4 people, 3 adults and one child were taken for ALL INCLUSIVE!!! All inclusive at this hotel means you come for breakfast and you can only sit in the hallway, it's like the reception and the tables are standing! You can't sit in a Bar or Restaurant, they either won 't serve you or they'll tell you to move to a restaurant! Breakfast is like a boiled egg in one plate, a thin piece of ham, the same piece of cheese, instant coffee, or cereal with milk! And what about the children??? You can only have lunch there or at the bar, they bring you a three - item menu, where you can choose only two of the three items and that 's it ! That is, you can't order 4 salads, 4 soups, 4 second ones! Only two at a time !!! That's how everything is included here!!! By the way, drinks are here, you go to the bar and wait until they serve those who came with the money! And then you can 't be burned like that !!! Also, if you don 't speak English, you are treated like a descended child!!! Speaking of drinks, they give you a list as a menu, what you can take and what is 50 percent off. You are constantly waiting, and when they come up to you, they ask and look at you as if you are here for free money, and not for your blood money!!! There is no pool bar, remember! And then they write that the pool bar! Fuck it! And if you bought it, it won't be good to go to the bar for a drink! Because you will hear a lot of swear words and indignation about yourself!!! Next! The food is repeated every day!!! Especially salads! It seems to me that I have already become a vegetarian in 7 days! And do not think that there are many salad options here! It's just a tomato salad with cucumbers and lettuce and olives every time and that's it! And where are the meat ones ! ? There have never been meat salads or the like in all this time! French fries and Navy-style pasta with cheap and tasteless cheese! The children have nothing to eat here at all! By the way, time is limited here! Breakfast is from 8 to 9 am , I didn 't have time to wait for lunch ! Just strictly like that ! Drinks are diluted with many juices, sodas, and ice is simply poured above the glass!so that you can pour less alcohol ! So you drink only water !but there 's no point ! I tried ordering a double brandy with lemon juice without soda! So the young bartenders poured, and when the older one found out, he violated them and told me that only one dose with lemon juice and all without double ! Another dissatisfaction! We checked in at 18:30, and our departure is at 22:50. So little is the fact that we are picked up five and a half hours before boarding, so they also evict us from the hotel before 12:00!!! And where you will be for these hours , they don 't care and only breakfast, and where you will continue to eat, no one cares !!! That is, they fed you for breakfast with what you have and then walk until 22:50 as you want!!! I'll also tell you about an interesting type, it's like your local guide for the time of arrival! His name is ILYA DOLZHNIKOV, he seems to have a surname that speaks for itself! He always promises everyone that he is in touch ! And he always answers everyone ! But everyone complained about him that he ignores everyone as well as me ! Whoever would not call him, he always says that he is very busy! If you need anything, write to him in whatsapp! But if you want to go somewhere for services or something else for a fee, then he's right there!!! There is no hotel here! There are two or three storey houses here ! The rooms are not very good! Only for those who only want to spend the night! Air conditioners are paid per day for 9 euros! Not a damn thing!? We talked to one here, I think he's an Administrator, his name is George! He said that before everything was included here, it was a buffet, etc ... everything is normal!!! And now they 're all waiting for something !!! He told me that he 's been holding it all for generations!!! It turns out to be a family contract!!! The grandparents started !and they continue ! Husbands, children and grandchildren work here ! In short, all the relatives !!! Of course, that's why there's no one to complain! Because everyone is their own ! If you don 't like something, let's see it ! The only plus is the Sun and the Sea!!! At first we thought, well, this is probably the first impression! But it turned out that it wasn 't !!!! Everyone here complained about poor service, food, and attitude! I.t..d... by the way, all the very old furniture is here! And there is not a TV in every room , and there is still no translation into Russian !
The tour was booked through Biblio Globus, we agreed to this hotel, as there are good photos and reviews on Booking. But the reviews end in 2020. Probably, the owner changed during the year or something happened that significantly reduced the class of the hotel.
At the reception we were met by a certain Georgy, who communicated in the style of Soviet vakhterism: rudely and nervously. He sold us exactly, and did not rent (as in decent hotels) - 2 adapters for sockets. With the words: "yes, I sell adapters, but what did you want? You'd think I was putting money in my pocket!!!" And this tirade fell on the clarifying question of why not for rent. I asked him to be polite, and he accused me of being inadequate. In general, such staff will hardly ever have many guests, much less good reviews. No one escorted us to the room, they searched for it themselves in the night.
The room was no less shocking than the reception.
We got the standard room. Yes, this is the most economical room, but the hotel is declared as an apartment, but there was not even a kettle in the room. There was no safe. It is a small 30-meter room, with single beds put together. There was a refrigerator, air conditioning (as a salvation), 2 small pieces of soap and 2 rolls of toilet paper were waiting for us in the shower. Face and body towels. And that's all.
The only thing that saved us was a relatively fresh renovation and new furniture, and the fact that we arrived for only 3 days and were not going to spend much time at the hotel.
Breakfast is already the 3rd shock! 2 boiled eggs, a spoonful of canned beans, 2 thin slices of cheap cheese and boiled sausage. And coffee - attention - instant! Everything looked like the cheapest Soviet canteen. And such breakfasts are for everyone - not only for us "standard" (there are superior rooms and even suites in the room fund). By the way, the plates with food were carried by the same George, saving on everything absolutely.
We were so disappointed that we no longer ate at the hotel restaurant. Everything is really shabby in the lobby, the furniture is old. In general, it's a kind of cheap flophouse. There is no drinking water in the lobby. In general, if you did not buy it at the store, then there is nowhere to take it.
The pool is clean, nothing can be said, but there are not many umbrellas around it, so it is not very convenient to relax next to it.
There is Wi-Fi, and fortunately for us, he was finishing up to our room. But this is "accidental".
The cleaning was done only once, but at a minimum. We took out the garbage ourselves (how do you like this for a hotel?)
I would put one star on everything. The second is only due to the location. 7 minutes to the beautiful sandy beach of Pernera. There are many shops, a pharmacy, bars nearby. This is a quiet and cozy area for lovers of relaxing holidays.
In general, next time we would choose this area again. But not Windmills. Terrible conditions, even for the price.
