Hotel Chrystalla

We visited with TUI in mid-October and experienced out of season weather, which made our stay a little challenging. Superior sea view room was fine and we had a fantastic view of the rain, thunderstorms and enormous choppy waves that basically confined us to our room for most of our week's stay. The pool was fine, clean and nice to swim in when the sun did eventually come out. The food was okay but I would not recommend half or full board if you are celiac. The kitchen didn't really know how to deal with a food allergy. We had a couple of nice meals in Protaras including a very good steak at Folio round the corner. Most of the restaurants on the main strip are overpriced and not authentic at all. We hired a car one day and drove to a fantastic place about 10km away called Mousikos. This was the best authentic food we ate the whole time! The best thing about this hotel is that it is very near the small Fig Tree beach, so you can go down for a dip in the sea any time of day and then come back to the hotel to change or whatever. When the weather cleared we had some very nice snorkelling here around the little island and saw lots of interesting fish. The hotel staff were friendly and helped us to take the bus to Ayia Napa for the day. There wasn't much atmosphere in the bar but there are lots of places to drink on the main strip, if you like themed bars, karaoke and cabaret. My overall impression of Protaras wasn't great and I wouldn't come back, but this hotel is definitely one of the better places to stay and reasonable value. Try and get a sea view that doesn't overlook the car park. Mind you, I did enjoy watching the stray cats and kittens at night.
