I understand that the crisis, there were few people in the hotel, but my friend and I paid a good price to get a good rest. During the 14 days spent at the hotel, in the evening we watched the same "show" performed by the same artists 5 times in the evening. It lasted exactly 1 hour and it seemed that it was shown only for hotel staff. Requests to put on modern dance music so that guests can have their own "disco" were answered: the show is only for Arab guests. In our voucher it was indicated that all inclusive 24 h, but at 23 o'clock the bar was closed and the Arabic music was turned off. Some days there was no program at all.

I want to warn vacationers that after 100 meters from the beach towards the hotel "Utopia" in the daytime at 16 o'clock, my friend's phone was taken away. Every day a fisherman sits there, who pulled the phone out of his hands and ran away. The hotel manager said it was our problem.

They wrote a statement to the police, the coast was patrolled in the morning by the military. And the fisherman continues to sit in the same place, everyone knows him, but we did not receive help.

Hotel service is ok. Food at the level of a 3 * hotel (beautiful serving on plates with the same menu. From "sea food" - Chinese pangasius in batter, in soup, in sauce. Meat: grilled chicken and beef. Side dishes: rice, pasta, stewed zucchini Fruits: tangerines, oranges, persimmons). Guests of Arab nationality are served first, even if you have already started to put something on your plate. The staff does not speak Russian even at the reception. The lifeguard Hamed and Mido brightened up our holiday (quad bikes). Who wants to party - you do not need to go here (but I am 62 years old and I could not listen to macarena, lambada and Arabic songs for 15 days).

Yes, they also write that there is a lagoon, but it is only up to the knee, you can only lie down in it. Only people who swim well can swim from the pier.
If an Egyptian family sits on the stairs leading to the sea, you won't budge them. Even though there were 30 people in the hotel, we were given an adjoining room with a door to the next room. It felt like we were living with strangers. There is no soundproofing. The underwater world is wonderful.

We will not return to this hotel.
