The hotel is amazing, atmospheric. We really liked it. Everything is so picturesque, tall palm trees, walking masses, keeping order, great! Be careful to sunbathe, be sure to use sunscreen.
The hotel is positioned as a 5-star hotel. In principle, it is, but with some drawbacks. In our opinion, they are very strange. Firstly, according to the all-inclusive system, 1 liter bottle of water is given per room per day. And provided that there is heat plus tap water can not be drunk, and not only drinking, but brushing your teeth is not recommended, then one bottle is not enough. You can replenish it at the bar as many times as you want or wait for the room cleaning, they will replenish it. So the rest turns into a constant running around for water. But you can buy water at their store for $2. You cannot bring water from outside the territory. Everything is aimed at making you buy. Such a system of money withdrawal is African. Secondly, the service itself, it's all like that, in an African way, not in a hurry. In the restaurant, you order a drink to the waiter, you can make 3 approaches with plates to the buffet, they will not bring you a drink. Not always, of course, but often. All this is done with the phrase AKUNAMATA. Thirdly, the beach. The beach is nice. The tides are strong. But there is a path to the ocean, along which you can walk to the water. And it's even better, there's white sand and the water is warmer at times. In general, it's even better to swim at low tide. Fourth, the food. The food is so-so, you won't be hungry, but there are no delicacies either. They don't know how to cook. They even manage not to fry an omelet.... Everything is done slowly. Queues accumulate at the meat distribution, they work slowly, chattering with each other in parallel. Fifth, the number of rooms. We had a junior suit with a sea view. We were satisfied. But many people lived in buildings that are located on the outskirts, it's a long way to go to the sea. However, there is a saltwater pool on the territory. Mosquito repellent treatment is carried out daily in the rooms. During all this time, mosquitoes did not bother us. But at the end of the rest, on the 13th-14th day, the ants began to overcome. The staff sprayed it and it seems to have disappeared. And you can not leave anything edible at all, they will still crawl into the room)
Sixth, the Internet. He's a piece of shit here. That's right. We paid $50 for an Internet connection in a room for a week. We come to the room and there is no network. Not at all. I go to the reception, they shrug their shoulders, OK, they say let's cancel. I bought a SIM card with a mobile Internet connection. It barely works, the connection is falling off. In general, if someone needs the Internet for work, do not hope. At the reception, a constant pilgrimage of Internet addicts are sitting on their smartphones. Everything is occupied, there is nowhere to sit.
In general, if you do not pay attention to this and only relax, swim and sunbathe, then the hotel is not bad.
The beach is just a bomb! beautiful, the ocean is incredibly beautiful, but the prices at the cosmos hotel, we spent a day there at the reception (overbooking happened), during all this time the hotel did not even offer us water, although there were families with children, I understand that it is not obliged, but seeing this situation that tourists were thrown, it was possible to do according to humanly and give water and at least feed the children. and a considerable amount of money was stolen from a woman there
