I will say right away - the hotel is not bad and fully corresponds to the description. A bit old, on 3 lines, but with a beautiful cozy area, a good pool, a water park, quite decent food. The beach is sandy, there is a shuttle. Ideal for Europeans, but because of the low price it attracts different categories.
Rooms: the number of rooms is old and the quality of cleaning leaves much to be desired. But nevertheless, the room is spacious, everything you need is there: a refrigerator, glasses, a kettle, a balcony, a TV.
Hotel and territory: the territory is small, but pleasant. Lots of flowers and greenery. The pool is beautiful.
You can smoke in the lobby bar, so the reception is smoky.

Lots of Poles, English, Italians. But there are even more Russian speakers and it is they who can ruin your vacation, especially drunk in the evening. We had a couple of colorful companies. One woman cursed godlessly, called the staff "habibi" and dragged her into her rooms. The staff, oddly enough, was dissatisfied.
Food: quite decent for a hotel of this level. A couple of types of meat, a lot of vegetables, there are fish, seafood, fruits, sweets. It is difficult to stay hungry, although everyone has their own priorities.
Beach: there is a transfer to the beach in the old town, the transfer must be booked a day in advance. The beach is large, sandy, there are islands of half-dead coral, but you can see the fish. Slippers are not required. On the beach animation. Children jump and rejoice.
Not far from the beach is the old town and a beautiful mosque. You can go to the market for fresh juice for 1 c. u. or eat fresh seafood at the restaurant.
Within walking distance from the hotel there is a public beach for 1 c. u. It's terrible, it's better to go by transfer.
For kids: Kids love it. There is a water park, animation from lunch to evening with competitions, costumes and dances. The beaches are sandy. But you need to take a quiet room, away from the night riots.
Airport transfer: we got there in 20 minutes.
Peculiarities:
- no shampoos and gels. Soap only. Get your makeup!
- pool view is good, but very loud. Evening programs until 23.00. Drunken tourists near the pool with speakers until late at night. It is better to immediately ask for a room in a quiet place.
- do not call a taxi at the reception, it will cost more. It is better to go outside the hotel and catch a taxi, after a good bargain. For 5 c. u. happy to take you to Soho or Old Town. You can throw off even less if you have the strength and inspiration to bargain.
- Nearby is the Naama area with a market, shops, establishments and an active nightlife. But you need to walk 15-20 minutes along the construction site and the road.
