...Cyprus is an island in the southern mediterean, just off the Egyptian coast, being divided into touristy Greek Cyprus and Turkish Cyprus (which is mostly a military base). I went to Cyprus on a cycling holiday and it was an absolute nightmare to get the bikes, we waited 45 minutes after everyone else had left the new (but very barren and not very comfortable) arrival lounge. The bikes eventually appeared to fell off the plane, as we found later in the holiday that they arrived with various damage. Larnaca is the location of the main airport in Cyprus, located close to the party town of Ayia Napa but 90 minute slow bus ride away from the Coral Beach Hotel and Resort, Paphos.
The country appears to be very dusty, sparse in population except for the large hotel resorts and the ubiquitous half built villa's that seem to be found...

Advantages: To many to list Disadvantages: Very large complex
...I too enjoyed my stay at the Coral Sea Resort. It is spotlessly clean, the food is well cooked and plentiful and the staff are as helpful as it is possible to be. The size if the complex seemed to be a little off putting for some guests, I can understand this, the first time i stayed there I spent more time looking for my room than actually sleeping in it.

The Red Sea Dive School is a great place and suitable for those wanting to learn...

Advantages: Everything was great, loved it. Disadvantages: None
...I have been to MangoBay twice and will be going again in February 08. It is an all inclusive resort, takes about 40 minutes to get there from the airport. It has lush tropical gardens and I was very impressed with the place, the rooms were spotless, the maids came and turned the bed down every evening and left a little chocolate on the pillow.
The bathroom had complimentary shampoo, conditioner and soap. as well as a hairdryer. There is a free safe in the room. The food is fabulous, the menu changes every day, sometimes it was buffet, help yourself food and others it was a la carte. Strict dress code for meals in the restaurant, which is outdoors and right next to the sea, although there is an inside seating area. They top your glass up with wine as soon as it starts to get low, they do a fabulous range of cocktails, non...

The reason as to why I bought my PSP was simple; I wanted to play a game that I was simply addicted to when I used to go to the arcades when I was on a family holiday at the seaside. The game was Out Run and was originally released back in 1986, the... more
