Tsokkos Protaras Beach Hotel

Vietin hiljattain kolme päivää Tsokkosin rantahotellissa all inclusive -paketilla. Huone siivottiin joka päivä, ja sänky oli mukava. Uima-allas oli ihana ja iso, mutta voin kuvitella, että se oli todella täynnä kesän keskivaiheilla. Ruoka oli erinomaista, olimme iloisesti yllättyneitä ja vaikuttuneita ruoasta, se oli maukasta ja valikoima oli runsasta. Paalliset juomat, olut/väkevät alkoholijuomat olivat myös hyviä, samoin kuin virvoitusjuomat. Viihteenä uima-altaan ympärillä oli vesijumppaa, joka kesti noin puoli tuntia. Musiikki, jos sitä nyt voi kutsua, oli tuskallista kuunnella, koska äänenvoimakkuus oli täysin päällä, vaikka sille ei ollut mitään syytä. Se oli päänsärkyä aiheuttavaa rave-tyyppistä meininkiä, se oli todella kamalaa. Tuntui kuin se olisi ollut kestävyyskoe päästä siitä läpi. Olkaa hyvä ja huomioikaa yleisönne, sillä se vaihtelee vuodenaikojen mukaan, ja kunnioittakaa vieraita, jotka eivät halua osallistua, mutta jotka tulivat rentoutumaan. Jotkut henkilökunnasta olivat todella mukavia, toiset eivät edes hymyilleet, etenkään ne kaksi munakasta leipovaa naista.

An honest opinion of our week here. Upon arrival which was around 10pm we were checked in quickly by a friendly lady on reception and given directions to our room which was accessed by going outside and into a separate building which was still attached to the main hotel. Our balcony overlooked the road outside which was fine and not to noisy at all apart from a bit of traffic. The sun was directly on that side of the building after around 3:30pm meaning that even with the air con being left on all day with an additional key card (€5 refundable when you leave) the room was very warm when trying to get ready for the evening, not to much of a problem for us as we had a nice breeze some nights or just kept the door closed. The pool area is a really good size and the beds and parasols are spaced out well and not near the edge of the pool which was good. There was no mad dash of a morning for sunbeds and we went down around 8am each morning and always got beds although lots already had towels on them. There’s also a smaller pool which far less people seemed to use and always seemed to be beds available throughout the day up there. Breakfast was really good with a vast choice ranging from continental to bacon, beans, sausages, severe variation of egg, fruit, yoghurt, crepes and pancakes we couldn’t fault it. Lunch and evening meals were also very good and each night had a different theme (Italian, Asian, International, Indian etc) vegetarian meals also available to order for the evening if you go to reception and order after breakfast. Bar staff were friendly and efficient both daytime and evening. Less than 1 minute walk to the beach which is beautiful however we found walking down a little further was much easier to access the water as there are lots of rocks to try and stumble across to get into the water in the beach area closest to the hotel. The hotel is in a great location for both the beach and bars and restaurants. The only one negative we would take away from this hotel (which is why good and not excellent) was there is no evening entertainment which we found unusual for an all inclusive hotel, on a couple of nights we seen a kids disco which lasted about 20 minutes and we heard a mention that there was some kinds of kids club a couple of times in the day but I’d definitely say this hotel doesn’t cater for children as there is nothing around the pool for them to do and no pool games or anything similar. I’d say this hotel is perfect for couples and families with older children. Overall we had a great time and will definitely return.

We have had the most amazing stay at this hotel, and would return in a heartbeat. The food is incredible for all inclusive, the pool and closeness to the beach is perfect, and all of the staff are so friendly. We have had the time of our lives, and are leaving with incredible memories.
