Positive:
The hotel is large, there are many locations for children, a large water park. It won 't be boring with children , but that 's basically it , and now the cons:
The hotel is old, the furniture is shabby, it is clear that they are doing local cosmetic repairs , but it is clear that it is not done by specialists.
The food is so-so, you can only eat grilled dishes and fresh vegetables, everything else is rubbish, they don't know how to make soups, salads and desserts. Fruits include unripe melons and unripe oranges/tangerines, sometimes dates. fortunately, there is a juice center where you can buy strawberries and mangoes for money. And fresh juices . there are no more drinks there, cola syrups diluted with tap water, or just tap water or with the addition of jupi. The wine is rubbish. You can only drink bottled water, but it doesn't taste like pipes and desalination plants.
There are many swimming pools on the territory , but only one is heated , all the others, including the water park , are just ice , it is impossible to swim from December to March, everything is heated in the neighboring hotel, there is constant noise and animation, and there is no one here during the day , everyone is warming up by numbers, there is no program, everything is very far from each other . I haven't seen a single event in 2 weeks, neither volleyball nor darts, only someone threw balls into the sand a couple of times. And only once on the last day we swam in the water park and then in a wetsuit . but despite the cold and not many swimmers, there are absolutely not enough inflatable circles for skating, so we have to hunt for them.
I was also very upset by the Wi-Fi that they sell for a dollar a day and that only works near the lobby and on the street, it doesn't work in the room, and even then the speed is very low in the evenings. For such a poor service , they could have given fifay for free , it wouldn 't have been so insulting .
It's also very annoying that the promoters are annoying, they attack you as soon as you leave the lobby, they don't let you rest, they sell all sorts of stuff for a lot, you can safely divide their price by 3, after you buy them they immediately disappear, and then you have to look for them yourself to get the service you bought, I advise everyone to send them openly on the first day fuck it, it's tough , you can use punches and cuffs to be afraid to approach , and on the second or third day you can safely purchase services at a price 3 times cheaper, because they overestimate prices unreasonably, and the service is average .
And so the summary is: you need to go there when it's warm , before November and after February, so that you can use the water park and the beach. going there with children is boring without them. it is better to buy a SIM card with a normal Internet connection at the airport. in the juice center, it is better to buy a subscription for $ 40 right away, so that each juice does not cost more than $ 1.5, it is better than buying 1 juice for $ 4. Waffles and ice cream are rubbish, it's not worth buying.
And keep a close eye on the beach towels, there's some kind of fetish, they're constantly being stolen from each other, because there's a $10 fine for loss.
We just returned from a vacation, the hotel is not bad. A huge territory. Our room was at the beginning, it's a 12-minute walk to the sea (I spotted it)) There are many pools of different depths, which is very convenient. The room was large, although dancing, 2 single beds + sofa, pool view. The food is so-so, there is not much variety. There are practically no fruits, huge queues at the distribution (But good alcohol: beer, whiskey, rum, gin. My head didn't hurt) . There is practically no animation. The staff is very polite, understands Russian and speaks more or less. About 70 percent of the vacationers were Russians, there are also Germans, Poles, French, Ukrainians. There are a lot of Arabs with crazy crowds of ill-mannered children. They need an eye and an eye: then clothes, then toys will be dragged away. The sea starts in the morning (9-10 o'clock) approximately to the waist, then leaves. It is better to swim from the pier, it is large, there are many sun beds under canopies.
Overall, I liked the hotel, but I wouldn't go there anymore.
Not really for my money.
I'll start in order. At first glance, the hotel is beautiful, the lobby with lots of sofas and a reception desk made a good impression, but it quickly passed. Firstly, Wi-Fi is paid. He catches only in the lobby area, the lobby bar and, if lucky, the terrace bar. for 7 days, $12. This is for 1 device, you can't connect 2 devices with 1 password, pay another 12 bucks. Although free Wi-Fi was indicated at the time of booking. Next, we were settled in a room on the 1st floor, a room without a balcony, although when booking it was indicated that the room had a BALCONY OR TERRACE, we went back to the reception, moved without question. Now we lived on the 3rd floor of another building, they said there was an elevator, but the elevator did not work there. This room already had a balcony, a view of some terrible wall of the neighboring hotel, but it was better than nothing. About the room itself. It's very old furniture, a lot of dirt, everything is shabby. I was upset at first, but in the end I didn't come here to sit in the room. The bed is clean, there is air conditioning, and you don't need more. From the pleasant-the Russian TNT channel showed, the air conditioner worked properly, the water was also reported regularly, there is a refrigerator.
then another disappointment.
1 coastal?ha-ha. You will walk for 10 minutes. There is a sandy approach, but you will go to a depth of at least 100 meters knee-deep, the bottom is bad, with stones. Therefore, the only entry into the sea is from a wooden pier, along which it is also far enough to go to a normal depth. There are enough sun beds, but "end-to-end". Towels are issued by cards, although they can only be returned after 18:00, which is strange and not very convenient, but that's okay.
Water park. Cool, slides for every taste, but there is a big shortage of cheesecakes + local children who almost snatch it out of your hands after you have rolled down 1 time. By the way, there are a lot of locals with a bunch of children, but at least the territory is large, there is no special "crowd", just in the water park and the dining room. To the article about food. I read several reviews that the food is not about anything and everything is monotonous, I don't know, we liked it, there was always something to taste. Of the things that are really bad are soups, sausage and sausages(but this is not the fault of the hotel, they have such sausage everywhere), almost all juices and water. The water is terrible in all bars and in the restaurant, I had to carry bottles with me (They are given out every day when cleaning the room-a liter per person). Delicious desserts, meat/ fish whenever, but in general everything is fine. The bars have a large selection of alcohol included, but of the b-a drinks, only lemonades like Cola / fanta / sprite. The juices, as I wrote above, are terrible, I liked only the apple restaurant.In addition to the main restaurant, there is a snack at the beach bar (French fries/hot dog/burger) and "brunch (pastries and cookies with tea/coffee. There's ice cream time. And you can also visit the Italian and Chinese restaurants on site 1 time for free. But is it worth it?Chinese is even more or less interesting, the atmosphere is there, I liked the corn soup. If you go to Italian, take pizza, everything else is generally 1 in 1 like in the dining room. And the interior is the same. But it's up to you to go or not.
The staff is cool, the bartenders +/- understand what you want, the guys are positive. Of the jambs on the staff, only the reception, they asked for an iron 3 times, they said "they will bring it to the room now", but alas, they did not see the iron.
There is practically no animation at all. during our vacation, I was there 2 times (the guy sang and a la fakirs / yogis). No interactive activities, aqua aerobics, discos, etc. It's boring in this regard.
My husband didn't like that the hotel is on the outskirts, not in the city, you can't walk, but somehow I don't care about it. Once we were taken to the shopping center for free (we were taken away from our tour operator). The shopping center was good, everything was at an affordable price and everyone spoke Russian. The hotel also has shops, but the only profitable one there is a silver shop, by the way, a very cool person works there.
In general, we liked the rest, got to know our compatriots, swam (there are a lot of pools, but the sea was preferable, although far away).
