Cool Breeze Villa
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
We were a party of three adults and two children on a two week vacation and Cool Breeze Villa provided us with a nice home during our stay. It is relatively close to the airport, easy to find and is well positioned for exploring the rest of the island.
The temperature was very hot during our full stay and Oroklini is quite a sleepy village so the amenities at the villa were important to us and we were pleased with the standard of everything. The AC was really appreciated at night. I personally like to get out and about during the day whilst others sunbathe, but it was too hot so I watched a lot of the owner's DVDs and films showing on the various film channels. I also had a laptop with me and found the WiFi connection easy to set up and with good signal strength.
The villa is well appointed with more than enough crockery, cutlery etc. We used the washing machine quite a lot so didn't need half the clothes we took with us. The cooker, microwave and barbeque are all good quality and easy to use and the worktops are all granite and easy to clean. There is plenty of wardrobe space and ample hangers (usual gripes of mine). We managed to keep the whole place looking clean and tidy for the full fortnight with next to no effort, that's unusual as well.
The pool is a reasonable size and can be monitored from the terrace, kitchen or master bedroom if you have young children. Our kids were in it most of the time. There is also plenty of space to sunbathe and use the barbecue.
We went to the beach in Ayia Napa between 16:30 and 20:00 when the clubbers were still in bed and the beach had started to empty out, it's only 25 minutes down the road. The water park is expensive to get in (111 Euro with discount vouchers for the five of us), but we were there all day and it was very clean and well managed. Our six year old with arm bands was allowed on most rides and those that he couldn't go on were really only suitable for adults.
Oroklini itself has about a dozen restuarants and bars covering most tastes and the old coast road a mile away provides unlimited choice. The Carrefour supermarket and the main Larnaca beaches / strip are easy to find as well. Driving is easy, just like at home, apart from the need to assume that nobody else has passsed a driving test.
I would definately recommend Cool Breeze Villa. We enjoyed our stay. Any minor issues were quickly attended to by the property management team who are English and live nearby.
