A hotel for relaxation 💯 Here you can relax without children's screams and animations)
I had a room overlooking the pool, spacious, bright, comfortable.
The hotel also has swim up rooms with access to its own pool, such a room is more expensive than the standard, but in extreme heat it is a salvation! The restaurant has an elegant cuisine, a variety of fish and seafood, daily ... I have not seen this anywhere else. They write the truth about the sea, it's dirty because of the yachts. But this did not upset me, as there is an excellent swimming pool with a bar and comfortable sun beds with soft mattresses on site. Only positive impressions remained from the hotel!

A wonderful, quiet, cozy hotel that allows you to fully relax in the truest sense of the word. The food is delicious and varied, there is a decent selection of meat, there is always fish and seafood on the menu. Perhaps in other hotels the assortment is larger, but in the Grand Palace 95% of the dishes are delicious. There are also 5 restaurants on site with free service (by appointment). Drinks in comparison with hotels where I have been before are decent; cocktails are not oversaturated with syrups, natural purees are added to the composition. The staff, without exception, is smiling, friendly and responsive; they did not give tea for several days (there was no exchange), but this did not affect the attitude of the employees in any way. The territory is large and well maintained. The rooms are cozy, despite a little fatigue, but nevertheless, at least our room was larger, cleaner and fresher than the rooms of all the Turkish fives where I had been in the previous few years.
The only thing that was confusing was the piling up of yachts in the sea left for the winter in front of the hotel beach. But it did not cause any physical or emotional injuries)

I didn't like the hotel. I won't recommend it, and I won't go on my own. And above all because of the general atmosphere. I'll explain. 90% of the vacationers are very elderly Germans, in front of whom they jump on their hind legs. They pay tips at every opportunity, for every glass of drink, every towel brought (and all this is worn exclusively by waiters and employees, you can't take anything yourself, that's the concept of the hotel). As a result, if you don't tip right and left, you're not a person here. Russians are not liked or respected here, sometimes they just openly laugh. It's unpleasant. One day we came to an a la carte restaurant, the waiters talked to each other, found out that they were Russians, grinned and put us in the farthest corner, where it was uncomfortable and ugly. We were just stunned. (By the way, there are no a la carte restaurants there at all, especially Indian ones - it's just some kind of hole, a diner. Don't go).
Another episode. Upon check-in, we were offered a room with a sea view for $50. We didn't need it and we refused. As a result, we were put in a room that probably wasn't used by anyone, as everything was broken there, and there was no hot water (4246). I had to go and make a big fuss. We were moved to a normal one, but the mood was ruined.
Another episode to better understand the atmosphere of the hotel. No one explains anything at the reception upon arrival, and for 2 days we tried to figure out what is generally allowed and what is not allowed here. For example, it turned out that there is a free fresh drink on the beach. But it is not offered to anyone. And we found out about it completely by accident.
Another joke. Our guide, with whom there was to be a meeting the next day upon arrival, as usual, began to promote us on excursions (for example, Luxor for 110 dollars, where we safely went for 40). So, when we refused his services, he freaked out, said he wouldn't tell us anything about the hotel, wouldn't give us his phone number if we needed to ask anything, slammed the door and left. Honestly, we were shocked.
There were many more unpleasant moments in this hotel. I don't even want to remember anymore - it's disgusting.
The main conclusion is that Russians are disliked, despised, and don't even hide it. If you want to feel like second-class people in an expensive hotel, then this hotel is yours.
(Postscript - we are by no means scandalous people, as friendly and non-confrontational as possible. And we were just outraged by this attitude of the staff).
