Last week we were on holiday in Cyprus. It was lovely. The trip was supposed to be a relaxing "lie by the swimming pool and do very little" kind of trip to try to force us to relax and reset after what's been a pretty busy year. I think we successfully achieved it.
We flew from London to Cyprus and got a coach to our hotel. We stayed at The King Jason, an adults-only all inclusive resort in Protaras a few miles up the coast from Ayia Napa. We are not really "party people" so I didn't want to be too close to the late night revelers. The hotel was superb and from the moment we arrived to the moment we left I felt looked after and relaxed.
Neither myself or Mrs R are particularly heavy drinkers so apart from the odd PiƱa colada, I didn't realy make use of the "unlimited drinks" but the food was absolutely amazing. The hotel put out amazingly diverse and fresh buffet spreads every day and presented them beautifully.
We could have probably eaten ourselves silly but we tried to be relatively controlled, only going to the buffet at meal times and avoiding ordering snacks during the day. On Sunday the restaurant did a Sunday Roast which seemed weirdly anglophilic but probably made sense given the target audience and customer-base (I never will understand British holidaymakers who travel to foreign countries and want to eat cooked breakfasts and chicken dinners). The rest of the nights rotated through different themes and we got to try lots of Greek and Turkish style cuisines.
