I'm exagerating here. Larnaca can be nice and there are some good hotels there - Golden bay, Palm beach and Lordos beach hotel being the best.

Not sure what you define as expensive so here's a few options: L'Onda is a nice boutique-y hotel recently refurbished that's near the centre. Apollonia is another one that's decent even if catering to package tours mostly. I thought the Holiday Inn was near the park also but I am not sure about it.
For those thinking the taxi ride to the hotels outside the centre is easy...think again. The traffic in Limassol is horrendous especially at night. It could take you an hour to cover a distance of a few kilometres.
As for the wine festival...it could be fun and drunken but...define "wine". We have good wine in Cyprus, in fact in recent years we have had excellent wine in Cyprus but you won't find that served at the "wine" festival
