More. The hotel itself was once a luxury five, but time and the human factor took their toll. Rooms with shabby furniture and carpet with non-washable stains, the territory of the hotel is large, but unkempt. Yes, repairs are being made, but they are somehow more cosmetic. The recreation areas are in good condition, the pools are clean, the beach is cleaned, there are not many sunbeds near the pool, you need to take revenge early. There are no problems on the beach, they try to keep it clean. The sea is not deep, sandy beach. There are some corals, you can snorkel, there are many colorful fish in the corals.

Rooms. The furniture is old but intact. 2 single beds, bedside tables, dressers. Everything in the room is in working condition, although not quite new. There is a TV with 3 Russian channels, free internet at the reception. There is a safe in the closet (free of charge). Plumbing is clean, everything worked, there is a hair dryer.
Cleaned regularly, bed and towels changed 4 times a week. Always leave bottled water. Updated shampoos and shower gel. There are no toothbrushes or toothpaste. If you need something, the cleaner will give you at the first request.
The water park is not bad, many slides for both children and adults were not included in the price of the tour, it costs 5 bucks per person per day, children are free. There is no alcohol in the water park bar. Only drinks.
In bars from 10 to 18 alcohol (beer, rum, gin, whiskey), drinks (bark, fanta, sprite, juice - yuppies). Pizza is prepared by the pool, “koloboks” are fried in powdered sugar, burgers are prepared at the beach bar.
Solid food 5. From meat for lunch, fish, chicken, beef. Lots of salads and side dishes. There is no meat for breakfast, there are sausages and sausage, but they taste like burlap. But for children, breakfast cereals with milk, a lot of sweet pastries and desserts, "fruits" (bananas, dates, pears, watermelon, melons), stewed vegetables, pasta. Lunch of everything and a lot + meat, chicken, fish. Soups are not very reminiscent of stew on the water. A separate bonus is dinner. On the 3rd floor there is a restaurant with European (Ukrainian cuisine), prepared by a chef from Ukraine. There is borscht with sour cream and meatballs and salads... In general, as in an advertisement about "mezim". Thanks to Valera (the chef of the restaurant) for a delicious dinner throughout our stay.
Animation is weak. At the pool in the morning exercises, at lunchtime for the children there were inflatable slides in the pool, foam. For adults in the evening paid bar + hookah.
Outcome. Hotel for families with children.
P/S If the tour is from Join Up. Guide Mukhtar is an asshole with a bunch of show-offs, doesn’t rush anything, stupidly sells excursions at exorbitant prices. Feel free to send this schmuck and look for guides in social networks, save both nerves and money. We ordered excursions from Mustafa and from Valentina (google).
