I am hopefully going to be booking the Faros Hotel, in Ayai Napa for 2 weeks from 2nd October. I was looking for somewhere that had everything, but still reasonably priced (not that im greedy or anything!). That is, a good location in terms of accessibility to night life (but not in your face), a nice pool, close to a nice beach, sea view.
Having searched the reviews most have been very positive of the hotel so im confident in that respects. I am just wandering about the beach by the harbour which is a 2 minute walk away. Can anyone tell me if it's a sandy beach and clean. Im assuming it wont be as nice as the Nissi beach but prefer the more central location. Ive also emailed the hotel asking whether the swimming pool is heated - but if anyone can answer here then great. Also, if anyone knows the hotel is a sea view essential?
As an aside i decided on Ayai Napa rather than Protaras as i thought the latter would be too quiet in October. Ive never been to Cyprus so these forums have been essential reading although when i get there ill probably have called it all wrong

Many thanks
