We stayed at the end of February 2008. We had the opportunity to live in two hotels and compare. Therefore, the review will be general. Don't blame me, but for us it was like one thing. At first it was Excellence. The hotel is only for couples, there are no children there, everything is very calm, quiet. 7 restaurants with very chic service allowed every day to eat a variety of dishes that could not be tried in such a short time. The hotel is located away from everything and everyone among the most wonderful nature and awesome ocean, where my wife was afraid to let me swim, because. very big waves, but I still went - cool, very. For 50 meters from the beach to the right there are no waves and the cleanest ocean. There you can swim for those who are afraid of the waves. You can walk both to the right and to the left of the beach, you can’t even, but you need to, it’s very interesting and awesomely beautiful (for nature lovers). For more than a kilometer to the right, there is not a soul to the Sirenis Hotel, so you can walk around naked, like savages, as many people do by the way. But the most beautiful places are after Sirenis, there are 2 kilometers to go along the beach to the Dreams Hotel, where we lived later. By the way, in these two hotels there are no bracelets and we could freely use the services of the Excellence and Dreams hotels at the same time. Only between them somewhere 3 km, but by taxi it's $ 8. To the left we went for a ride on horseback. There are awesome jungles, lagoons and an island that you can go on foot on the water, no one lives there. The hotel itself is small, but very nice and cozy. Romance is everywhere. Show in the evening. Any free drinks, even expensive cognacs, are very expensive. Buffet only in one restaurant in the morning and lunch. In the evening, you choose any of the 7 restaurants, no need to sign up. In both hotels, we were blown away by the variety of freshly squeezed juices and the fact that room service was free 24/7. Those. you can order food and drinks to your room at any time, although the bar in the room is already replenished 2 times a day. Coffee maker, coffee, milk, cookies, nuts, etc. always in the room. By the way, do not take anything from electrical appliances (such as a hair dryer and iron) - everything is there. Sockets are suitable, adapters are not needed for charging cameras and cameras, for example.
Dreams differs from Excellence in that it is noisy, there are many children. There is a kindergarten that takes care of your child from morning to evening, they give you a mobile phone and call if something is wrong. Dreams is a little bigger and has a huge pool with a jacuzzi and waterfalls, but only to the waist. Along the pool of the building with numbers and a constant hubbub of Americans (everywhere! ) The beach is calmer than in Excellence, but not everywhere you can enter - corals. There is nothing good to the right of the hotel, you shouldn’t go there, but you definitely need to go along the Dreams-Excellence highway, although far, but very beautiful. The central restaurant constantly offers a buffet, but the food is more American (rolls, chips) than in Excellence. The choice is large, although every day is the same, but there are also 4 more restaurants where you can go in the evening and order something gourmet. By the way, lobsters in Dreams cost $30, and in Excellence it's free. So in the evening go to Excellence and order. No one knows anyway that you are not from this hotel. We did. Only shorts are not allowed, I had to borrow trousers and sneakers from Ukrainian friends. It was clear without words that we were not from Excellence, but no one said a word, served in full. In Dreams, nature is more intense than in Excellence, but somehow more like a city. In general, we liked Excellence more, but everyone likes different things. You have the opportunity to evaluate. Try it.
Flying whales - cool. Only with a Russian guide it costs $ 270 per person + $ 80 for all transfers to the airport, and without a Russian guide at the reception it costs 175 per person, and even there everything is clear without a guide. We rode horses - $ 70 for two - super. We flew by helicopter along the ocean - $ 300 for two - just awesome!

By the way, the weather there is constantly +26 and at night somewhere the same. The ocean is also +26. It may rain in the morning, but after an hour it has already gone.
Do not believe the pictures on the sites, everything is much greener there, the pictures are apparently old.
In short, what am I telling you here? Come and see for yourself. And if you want, write to mob8@yandex. ru and I'll tell you everything that I haven't told you yet. Thanks to those who read.
