Location
The apartment had very good, quiet, air con and was extremely clean.
Beds and towels changed regularly.
Not too much equipment in the kitchen but there is a kettle and enough to do snacks which is all I need.
Rather short on storage space for four of us and the beds in the lounge were really only suitable for smaller children than mine.This would be the only reason I would not go back.
The pool was lovely, not huge but big enough for the number of guests.
There is a pool bar and a traditional Cypriot restaurant.

Its located right in the middle of the strip but i was never woken up by noise once during our stay. The pool wasn't to packed even for August and was always able to get a sunbed when i wanted.
I'd like to say i'll go back to cyprus but now they have the euro the prices are sky high. I overspent by several hundred pounds and probably wont return again because of this. If your going i'd look all inclusive or be prepared to spend.......a lot!

The apartment is teeny weeny tiny and not very impressive. I have two teenage daughters who claimed the bedroom so we ended up sleeping in the very small bed setee for two weeks. Its only big enough for 3 or if you have younger children.
The air con is good you need a depisit of 10 euro to work the bedroom unit. Safety deposiy lock is 60 Euro and you get 10 back. The bathroom is a bit shappy with old bath and lots of cracks and its the smallest bathroom ever you can sit on the toilet and wash your hands in the sink at the same time. However there is plenty of hot water.
They do have internet for teens desperate for msn but it was always going out of order.
The pool area is okay its in three tiers the main pool by the bar which I never used owing to the constant unch unch unch of the very loud music system in the afteroon and all the ball games in the pool not relaxing so I chose to use the middle section with the kids pool which was fairly quiet. No matter when you went down enough sunbeds to get a few together.
There was a karaoke night where the children were encouraged to get up and sing so just avoid those night unless that your thing luckily it finished by 12.15.
Had a snack by the pool once fairly average and expensive. Also had a meal at the Blue Moon restaurant at the front of the Hotel which was also average.
Protaras is very expensive to eat out. The mini marts are very dear best to go to Paralimini about 3 miles away and go to the big carrefour supermarket or Orphanides where the locals shop you will save a fortune. Friends bar on the main strip is nice for a drink the food is not well presented and dear much better is Cheers accross the road great for breakfast and lunch and good service.
Ate out quite a lot all quite samey and very expensive compared to other places on the Med.
Summary
Very hot. Get car hire but be careful the Cypriots have rules of their own whilst driving. Take plenty of money with you its not cheap Look out for the lizzards they are everywhere. Wear light clothes going home the airport is mafting.

we were in room 22 (the block at the back of the main block) and were pleased we were put here as there is building work going on directly in front of the hotel and it was very noisy - we didnt hear a thing where we were - you could still see the sea from our balcony.
Apartments were very clean - cleaned i think 5 days out of the 7, only thing i didnt like was the cleaner kept moving my clothes onto the floor - strange one - we did have a few ants but nothing to get too bothered about.
We only ate at the apartments on our last day (waiting for the taxi to go to the airport) for quickness - there are plenty of far better restaurants and bars to eat at on the stip which are better - the food was reasonably priced for what we got.
We ate mostly thruogh the day by getting our food from the deli (two doors down on the right) from the hotel - the food was soo fresh - they had sandwiches, pasties, pastries and salad bar - very reasonably priced and really fresh.
Restaurants we ate at and would recommend: Oscars (near McDonalds) and Los Bandidos(in Aiya Napa) and for a cheap pub lunch Cheers opposite food was ok - we ate hear watching the footy one day and thought it was good value for money.
Our only niggle of the whole holiday was the cost of the air conditioning and the safe - felt it was a bit of a rip off at 40 cyprus pounds for the week - thought this was a bit steep.
We have been to cyprus many times now and have to say we still prefer aiya napa but if were were to go back to protaras would recommend these apartments as a cheap, clean place to stay.

I had e mailed ahead to request a quiet room and one with full air con and they promised to try. Well they gave us a superb room (106) which had a huge balcony and full air con and we never heard noise from bars or anything else.
Apparently the rooms in the main block have air con in both bedroom and living room but those in the second block at the back have it in bedroom only.
This was my first time in a one bedroom apt . Always booked a 2 bed before for the four of us. While there was plenty of room there wasn
