Most hotels have lifts big enough for chairs, tend to have level flooring and many (if not all) have ramp access if needed.
Things that you might need to check more spefically are bathroom facilities if you need walk/drive in showers then its not the norm.

Protaras has some decent pavement but does have some areas with high curbs, but this isn't likely to be much of a problem as you can go around or look for a lowered part.
There is also the coastal path that can take you right down the beach along to Pernera which again has good access and paving (or go on the road like everyone else !)

Bars/Restaurants in Protaras and Pernera are hit and miss, some are level, some have steps and some have ramps... you would have to see what and where suited you best.

Over the years we have seen many people using chairs, frames and sticks out and about all around the area so you shouldn't have any real problems.

Enjoy your holidays
