The Alocha Ocean Front Resort is a huge complex, practically a city. Numbers 2 and 3-roomed, with a kitchen, a huge loggia on which there is a washing machine. Good TV, big fridge. All OK. In one of the buildings on the loggia there is a jacuzzi. We had full board. The food is special, of course. But a large number of vegetables, mussels, Peking duck, mango and orange fresh juices, beer or vodka for dinner, compensated for the lack of Olivier))).

They take you to the market every day for free. Many bought seafood there and cooked in the room. Everything is very cheap. For example, a medium crab is 120 yuan. Fruit is also about 50-80 UAH per kg of ours. And it’s not always clear whether it’s per kg or per pound, or per pound, or per piece))) Before the trip, I especially found out what the lack of infrastructure behind the hotel is. Now I can tell those who are interested. Behind the hotel there is a road with palm trees and flowers, there is no promenade with shops. But at a distance of 40 minutes.

walking left and right there is a busy city area with shops and food street. Going there to eat if you only have breakfast is not very convenient, it is better to pay for dinner at the hotel. But it is quite possible to take a walk after the buffet (or before). You can change money only with hotel guides. We also took a note in the bank from the card. No commission.

The main disadvantage of the hotel is that there are sooo few sunbeds on the beach and they are without mattresses. That is, you won’t lie down especially, even if you have time to borrow. Why so little is unclear even to hotel guides. Maybe because the Chinese do not swim and do not sunbathe, and 80% of them rest there. By the way, if you walk along the beach along other hotels, you understand that ours has a lot of sunbeds))). In short, we were lying by the pool, and we went to the sea to swim. The sand is gorgeous, sings, as promised. Well, about the Internet. My husband had their wechat, the hotel has good wi-fi. I have Vodafone, all instant messengers and even Facebook worked.
Only Google did not work and, accordingly, Google translator slowed down. True, Vodafone, when connecting the "roaming like at home" service, promised absolutely everything, like at home. As a result, it turned out that 4 calls and 5 SMS to my homeland + sometimes FB outside Wi-Fi cost me 1500.00 UAH! But that is another story.
