We had a brilliant stay at Cleo's between 10th Aug - 20th Aug 2020. The property was exactly as listed and as per the photo's, very light, clean and airy and all furnishings were modern and comfortable. On arrival there was a small package of essentials, including milk and tea etc., which was a lovely touch but the nearest kiosk is only a few minutes walk away so were quickly able to stock up with everything else that we needed.
The pool area was really pleasant, with lovely planting all around and plenty of space for lounging. The pool is a really good size and plenty big enough for us to do lengths each morning by way of a little exercise. The pool was always quiet and my boys (aged 11) loved being able to run in and out of the house straight into the pool. The complex was slightly busier over the weekend but still there was plenty of space around the pool and room to swim.
The Harbour is 20 mins walk away and Kings Avenue Mall about 10 minutes walk. However, if you want to avoid walking in the heat of the day there is a bus that runs every 30 mins in the morning and every hour in the afternoon and evening. We bought a weekly bus pass for 22 euro each, which was great value for the amount we used it. We also downloaded the Cyprus Bus app, which tells you where your nearest bus stop is (with location settings on) and when the next bus is arriving.
We had some great days out. We booked an all inclusive (drinks and lunch) yacht excursion with Ocean Blue for 45 euro each. The boat was really luxurious, and took us to swim in Blue Lagoon, where the water was absolutely beautiful (and warm)...highly recommend. You can find Ocean Blue selling their trips just before you enter the restaurant promenade towards the castle.
We also visited the waterpark, which was probably our favourite day, just because we could relax whilst the kids played. Book online to make a saving on entry costs then when you arrive you are given a wristband which any food or drink you buy throughout the day is then charged to and you settle your bill on the way out as you leave. We didn't know this beforehand so was really surprised when we found out and was so much easier than having to carry money all day or keep making trips back and forth to the lockers. Again the bus drops you right outside the park.
Amazing places to eat: Sail at the Castle but our favourite, The Harbour. Great views, friendly staff, really comfortable seating and good food at a good price.
