Firstly,
it's
important
to
note
that
there
is
no
actual
kosher
hotel
called
Blue
Lagoon.
Rather,
"Blue
Lagoon"
is
a
service
established
within
a
non-kosher
hotel
called
Capital
Coast
Resort
&
Spa.
The
kosher
meals
are
served
in
a
dedicated
dining
room,
and
there
is
a
nearby
coffee/tea
corner
and
shul/synagogue
(these
are
all
on
the
basement
level).
The
kitchenettes
and
utensils
in
the
rooms
themselves
are
not
kosher,
and
all
other
hotel
services
(pool,
spa,
beach,
etc.)
are
shared
with
the
rest
of
the
hotel.
The
kosher
food
itself
was
very
good
and
plentiful,
with
plenty
of
variety
(we
were
there
for
four
weekdays
and
had
breakfast
and
dinner
there
daily).
We
were
able
to
make
sandwiches
(and
take
vegetables
for
snacks)
each
day
at
breakfast
to
take
with
us
on
our
daytrips
(tip:
bring
containers
or
baggies
if
you
want
to
do
this,
none
are
provided).
We
did
not
go
hungry
during
our
trip.
We
were
fortunate
to
have
a
large
suite,
which
included
a
full-sized
kitchen,
full-sized
heavy-wood
dining
room
table,
living
room,
bedroom
and
bathroom.
The
best
part
was
the
porch
that
faced
the
sea
--
as
our
corner
suite
was
at
the
very
end
of
the
hallway,
we
were
situated
very
near
to
the
sea,
with
perfect
views
of
the
sunset
and
no
noise
from
the
pool
area
(which
was
out
of
sight,
around
the
corner).
Try
to
get
this
suite
(#120-1)
if
you
can.
The
hotel’s
beach
is
not
exactly
at
the
hotel
–
you
have
to
walk
a
few
minutes
down
the
coast
on
an
unfinished
rocky
dirt
path
to
the
beach
area,
which
is
also
used
by
the
neighboring
hotel.
We
didn’t
use
the
hotel’s
pools,
but
we
did
use
the
spa’s
jacuzzi
and
sauna,
which
were
both
fine.
The
downsides
were
that
the
building
itself
and
rooms
are
not
in
great
shape.
Google
shows
this
as
a
4-star
hotel,
I
would
put
it
at
3
stars.
Loose/missing
fixtures,
peeling
paint,
stuck
window
locks,
burned-out
lightbulbs,
and
a
very
dark
shower
are
some
details
I
can
mention
specifically.
As
a
family-oriented
kosher
service
there
were
lots
of
families
with
children,
along
with
lots
of
noise/screaming
(80%
of
the
guests
when
we
were
there
are
Israeli).
The
hotel
service
was
relatively
okay,
but
be
prepared
for
the
relatively
rude
Cyprus
treatment
everywhere
you
go
in
the
country.
The
kashrut
mashgiach,
Levi,
was
a
pleasant
and
friendly
young
Israeli
man
who
was
helpful
during
our
couple
of
interactions
with
him.
The
bottom
line:
If
you
want
two
solid
kosher
meals
per
day
and
don’t
mind
spending
your
vacation
in
a
3-star
hotel
full
of
loud
kids,
then
the
Blue
Lagoon
is
a
fine
choice.
