Crown Resorts Horizon
The Crown Resort Horizon Hotel is looking a bit under the weather at the moment. Presumably a victim of the COVID crisis, it will certainly need a bit of TLC before it opens again to the public. Last sunday we took a look around...
The Car Park

The hotel came to my attention the other day. I was driving around Coral Bay with the 360 camera, looking for interesting things to film. I remembered that people had been asking questions about the hotel so I thought I may as well take a look. On that occasion I drove into the car park and back out again. But it was apparent that the place wasn't open for business. So I came back with my camera to take a closer look.
Entrance

The entrance is definitely a bit overgrown now.
Rubbish Free

However, the car park still looks nice and clean. You cannot really see it in this picture, but to the right fo that door you can see was a bin. It contained a fair number of empty water bottles that had recently been placed there. So while deserted, this place is by no means abandoned.
Front Door

I didn't check to see if the doors would open. I was quite content to explore the outside.
Side View

To the right of the main entrance was a gate overlooking the front lawns. This was locked and I had no wish to climb over anything I shouldn't so I took this picture and went left instead.

Return to The Abandoned Ranch
The other day we saw an article about a mysterious church that had appeared in the Kouris Reservoir because of the low water level. When we got there it turned out to be a case of bad journalism. However, as we were in the area, we decided to revisit the abandoned Rancho Appaloosa, to see how much it had changed since we first found the place, in 2016.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
