Estella Hotel Apartments is based in Limassol in Southern Cyprus where I stayed for 6 nights in late April/early May of 2009 with my cousin. The booking was made via Expedia.co.uk and worked out at approximately £200 for 2 of us sharing a twin apartment (just £100 each basically). Before I confirmed the booking through Expedia I went off and did a bit of research on the hotel to make sure I wasn?t getting something that was cockroach infested.
The hotel?s website, although fairly basic in appearance, made the hotel look pleasant enough and I sent an email to the hotel asking what amenities were included in the rooms/apartments. I received a reply in very clear English very promptly and then started a chain of emails between myself and the very helpful contact at Estella, a lovely lady called Helen (who was away in Australia during ...

I have just come back from a gorgeous week in the Hotel Atlantica in Limassol in Cyprus, and I feel absolutely miserable - this time yesterday I was sunbathing in the 40C heat with a Pina Colada (they were free!) and now I'm sat at the computer, in a jumper, freezing my bum off. It's so cold here! Anyway, I've got quite a lot to say about Cyprus and the Hotel Atlantica, so here we go!
CYPRUS
- - - - - - - - - - -
Cyprus is a an island located in the Mediterranean sea, south of Turkey, and close to Egypt. The official language is Greek, although being a former British colony, English is very widely spoken. The currency is the Cypriot Pound (CYP), which is 78p exactly, to our £1 sterling.
The weather is nice enough to visit Cyprus from April to about October. It's hottest in July and August - it was well in the 30's and 40's ...
