Crown Resorts Henipa

We chose Henipa for the incredible value it offered - considerably lower price even for 12 nights with breakfast and dinner than other hotels. And it came very close to the *** experience you would expect. Breakfasts were quite rich and had plenty of things to choose from, dinners were a bit weaker, but still okay. Our room was nice and spacious with a balcony and a nice bathroom. Beds were comfortable and the interior looked pretty clean. The air conditioning system was also pleasantly functional and easy to use, which was a life saver in the hot climate of Cyprus.
That said, the shower stream was pretty weak to wash with, there was an awful looking TV with a broken corner that we didn’t use at all (not a huge problem but it doesn’t look nice and taken care of) and we had a huge problem with ants. Very little and light ants often infested our sweet food that we had to put on the top of the furniture, because there was no fridge in the room. That also means no chilled water, although you could stock up on that during the breakfast. We also encountered a few big flying bugs in our room that we had to manage.
My personal biggest inconvenience was the pro-russian nature of the whole place. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to discriminate, but when I go on a vacation to an exotic island, the last thing I want to hear are loud russian guests, who were often having conflicts with the staff (very nice and helpful staff by the way!) and who always shouted loudly on all occasions. Reception, breakfast, dinner... Naturally, the staff speaks russian with them to be polite and one night there was even a russian disco during the dinner! But that is the cheap price I guess.
There is a nice set of pools with artificial rocks and also a pool bar, which is nice if you have all-inclusive. The hotel is quite near to the sea, you just have to cross the street and then you are on a nice beach, which starts with rocks on the shore, but as you go into the sea, it transitions into sand. Amazing! The beach is also nice for watching the sun rise. There is a small nearby shop and a bigger supermarket some 1km away. You have the option to go to the Larnaka town by bus for 1,50 Euro.
Overall definitely would recommend if you are prepared for tons of sometimes annoying eastern friends and really like the low price of this hotel. Except for the ants eating our donuts, there was no major problem during our 12 nights at this hotel. And like I said, the staff was very helpful.

had bungalow D and it was alright - walk straight out from the room into the pool. all inclusive restaurant and drinks looked gross tho and the access to the hotel is horrible!! no sidewalks to the beach, had to walk on a highway and through dirt :/ super hot in the lobby, no where to cool off. concierge was very helpful. wifi is too expensive, and only 1 English tv channel. boo.
