I do not put "5" for four reasons:
1. small standard rooms (but we lived together with a child - normal); 2. there are practically no seafood in the food of two standard restaurants working like a buffet, even in the "Seafood Evening" (well, really, a very small choice);
3. the staff of the "5 *" hotel could be more smiling and quicker (some, at least);
4. expensive food and drinks on the territory - together with a 6-year-old daughter, it was rarely possible to dine for less than 1500-2000 rubles. Lest you think that we ate too much - I weigh 48 kg with a gain of 170 - and the daughter of my own build : ))). Therefore, in this hotel it is clearly beneficial to take an "all inclusive" - if you are not going to constantly go to the city for lunch. Oh, and the nearest mall is 15 minutes by taxi! And taxis are not cheap there, especially hotel taxis. Therefore, ask the reception to order a regular taxi for you! They say that it will take 20-30 minutes to wait, but in reality - 5-7 minutes : ).
But the hotel, in principle, is worth the money! And the title "5 *". Pros:
1. a large area, very green and beautiful, a river with fish and turtles, birds, peacocks in abundance, a camel on which children ride for free;
2. good sandy entry into the warm sea;
3. normal and varied food in restaurants (excluding seafood, as I have already indicated);
4. good housekeeping, DVD and kettle in the room. And the room itself is clean, modern and beautiful;
5. Many options for outdoor activities: shooting club, diving club, football, volleyball, horse riding, golf club, boat trips, etc. ;
6. impressive - but quite expensive - SPA.
7. For children there is a kids club on the ground floor of the main building, open from 10.00 to 13.00 and from 13.30 to 18.00 and from 18.30 to 22.00. Children from 3 years old can be left in it "on record", but there is no Russian-speaking nanny. In general, we were not very impressed with it (compared to the kids club in a hotel in Crete, maybe - everything was great there). And the children went there only 2 times, then they refused - it was boring. But sometimes you can leave - to go to a bar, or one of the "a la carte" restaurants, or to the spa. Still, it's convenient.
As for the "construction" on the water, then, alas, it now "decorates" the appearance of many hotels. We knew about her when we were driving, and I can’t say that she is somehow especially annoying.
In general - the hotel is very quiet and peaceful, like an oasis. Mostly pensioners-Europeans, and parents with children have a rest. For wild fun - not here : ). Have a good rest!
