Mariela Hotel

we travelled to cyprus,polis on 27th june 2010 until the 11th july 2010. when we arrived at the mariela it was 3 o clock in the morning because of our 8 hour delay, we did wake pambos up but he sorted us out and was very welcoming and kind and showed us to our room. the next day he came and welcomed us properly.lol and made sure we had everything we needed even air con (is a must in june-july) and gave us a discount on it of like 10euro's because thats how kind he is, everybody is right you all get treated like family rather than guests. the rooms were very clean they are cleaned every day apart from sunday (day off for cypriots), you get fresh towels everyday sometimes twice a day, our view was amazing we got to look at the church and the sea and the balcolny got sun all day and so does the pool area until the sun goes down, the pools are very clean and so is the pool area, pambos comes and cleans them himself every morning and night and his wife make some smashing toasties, yum yum :) it is a quiet village but there is everything you need such as the supermarket literally 2 mins down the street and plenty of bars and places to eat all with in walking distance. i'd say it takes 10 mins to walk into polis town, there are plenty of places to hire cars and bikes from and the locals are very friendly as well. the rooms are basic but like we say you only sleep in it and change in it so why moan about it eh. on a night pambos comes and sits with you and chats away and brings out free pints of keo (cyprus beer) and what ever the ladies are drinking, they really appreciate you staying at thier hotel and we were really shocked that at christmas they even sent us a christmas card which pulled on those heart strings a bit.lol we are looking to go back on september 4th this year 2011 cant wait sooooooo excited its so peaceful and nice it really makes you relax and feel at home. thank you mariela you are absoblutley wonderful.
