Advantages: Lovely hotel, Hot in October, Four hours from Gatwick Disadvantages: Bit of a walk to the beach, souvenirs are completely tackky!
This is a review of a package holiday to a specific hotel in Protaras rather than an overall review of the resort.
Seven nights HB at the 4* Tsokkos Gardens Hotel, Protaras, Cyprus
October, 2002
Through Goldensun - booked over the internet.
We paid £844 each for two adults + £292 for one child.
Our first visit to Cyprus
Flight
We flew with Eurocypria on the 10.10pm out of Gatwick arriving at Larnaca in the small hours. There was no in flight entertainment at all so don't forget your Walkman or a large paperback. The journey was a bit of a trial, fortunately our five year old slept on the plane which made life a bit easier. The final transfer from the airport to the hotel seemed to take ages, dropping off at about four hotels before finally arriving at the Tsokkos Gardens at about 6 am local time.

Advantages: A Must For Young Families With Children Disadvantages: The Entertainment Team Could Use Some Common Sense!
I didn't know quite where to place this review for this hotel so I thought this was as good a place as any. With a possibility of a larger audience to read.
What we booked with First Choice was a Fourteen Night All Inclusive Package at the Hotel Papantonia, Protaras, Cyprus in October 2004. The cost was £679 each for two adults and one free child place - if we flew out from Stansted but we couldn't have a free child place if we flew from Gatwick. Oh well, Stansted is handy only just up the road - willing to try something different - afterall a plane is a plane doesn't matter which airport you fly from.
This was our first visit to Cyprus as a family unit.
We flew into Larnaca from Stansted with Thomas Cook at 09.20am arriving in Cyprus during the heat of the day and boy was it hot, a cool 31 degrees when you consider ...
Advantages: lovely area, fantastic beach, nice people Disadvantages: everything closes on 31 october!!
I have just returned from my honeymoon in Protaras, Cyprus and we have had a fantastic time. I will review the hotel that we stayed in separately (Capo Bay Hotel).
Protaras is on the East side of Cyprus, near to Ayia Napa. It is in the Paralimni/Famagusta area. Protaras is purely a holiday spot, it closes from November to March and I mean CLOSES! But more of that later on. Protaras is next to Ayia Napa, but it is family orientated and does not attract the gangs of lads that Ayia Napa does. We were there for two weeks, one of which was half-term and the place was packed with families.
Protaras is a modern, purpose-built resort located 14km east of Ayia Napa. The resort stretches over 6km along the sandy-beached coastline, interspersed with rocky coves. The resort has two main focal points - Fig Tree Bay and Pernera Beach ...
