I stayed at the hotel at the end of November 2012. The room was given on the 1st floor, and they are all on this and only on this floor bunk. The bed is located under the ceiling at the opposite end of the room from the air conditioner, which makes it stuffy to sleep. The existing hood has remained from the previous equipment, is not connected to anything and is simply part of the interior. Cleaning and change of towels was carried out daily, but at different hours. It was impossible to dry clothes either in the room or on the balcony (due to the lack of direct sunlight) - you had to take them with you to the beach and dry them on umbrella canopies, under which there were sunbeds. About one third of the sunbeds had mattresses. Some of the sunbeds were chained to umbrellas, which was also an inconvenience for sunbathers. The entry into the sea is sandy, there are no boats near the shore. Before lunch, there were mostly only Russians from the neighboring hotel on the beach (they make up about half of all vacationers there, and in our Russian there were no more than a dozen, the rest were Chinese. . There is no special control over the removal of products from the dining room. And the entrance-exit from the building and the territory of the hotel was not observed. But there is no talk of theft. There are "hot springs" on the territory - one and a half dozen mini-pools with hot water, 2 pools with biting fish, 2 showers, similar in action to Charcot and circular showers. You can stay from 17 to 23 hours without time limit. There is a recreation area there, they bring tea, cookies, fruits. Massage treatments are carried out in the basement of the main building. Things are changing fast in the city. During the year, they can demolish a multi-storey building and build something else on this site. Therefore, reviews of previous years are not entirely relevant. In November 2012, it was possible to get to the city center, where the so-called McDonald's, by buses 8.25, 26. It took about 20 minutes to drive. The price was 2 yuan. It is necessary to enter (squeeze) in the front door and give money to either the conductor standing there in exchange for a ticket, or simply drop the money into the cashier (box). Go to Dadonghai by bus 8.24, 25 minutes 40. Price - 3 yuan. McDonald's is a complex of boutiques in a three-story building. The Russians called the first floor-passage Pedestrian Street. In the city center there are several supermarkets with groceries and manufactured goods at fixed prices. Teas are sold in many places. The choice is large, but the names are exotic and will say little, even if there is a translation from hieroglyphs into Russian. The price is the same everywhere: 15-20 yuan for 50 grams. Suggest to try. Tours are much more expensive. Near the entrance to the hotel they make ice cream from fruit juice squeezed in front of you for 8 yuan. In the center and Dadonghai, this pleasure will cost 15-20 yuan. Beer 0.6 liters in a shop near the hotel 5-6 yuan, on the beach and in a cafe from 10, in the city in supermarkets 3-4. There is no clothing market in the city, there are many grocery ones. Fruit prices are lower compared to ours, things are more expensive. There are, of course, cheap phones, tablets, but no one guarantees their service life. There are no complaints about the tour operator "Southern Cross" regarding the meeting and accommodation. But they brought us to a completely empty night airport and left us 3 hours before the start of registration! Although both they and we were aware of the flight delay due to non-arrival. Apparently, they just wanted to go to bed early, and their tourists are already worked out material... But Pegasus squeezed out 10 dollars for its tourists for an unscheduled dinner - they were evicted from the rooms at 12 o'clock, the flight was supposed to be at 17, but actually flew out at 3 a. m. The plane of the NORD WIND company did not please us with comfort. We were fed hot for 9 hours of flight only once one way. Ask for details.
