In general, I liked the trip. Impressions are positive. Of course there are shortcomings, but we must not forget that the money and mass.
Pros: wonderful climate, sun, clear sea, depth nearby, sandy beach. Hotel "Albatros Garden" corresponds to the declared 4 stars. The territory is large, well-groomed, a lot of greenery, benches, various courtyards, fountains. Lots of pools for all tastes. The beds are comfortable and the towels are big. Animation is not bad. The room is rather big, 2 beds, large closet, boudoir table, bedside table, refrigerator, TV, air conditioning, balcony with table and chairs, shower, huge mirror in the bathroom.
Separately, I would like to note the food. Three restaurants, four bars. The main restaurant "Crocodile" - buffet. The food is varied, you can eat and overeat. Lots and lots of delicious desserts. Amazingly delicious bread. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served here. You can go to the Italian and Chinese restaurants for dinner, but by appointment. Bars: on the beach, by the pool, where the reception and one more. Unlimited bottled water. You can use the infrastructure of neighboring hotels ("Aqua Blue" and "Aqua Vista").

Cons: very very intrusive service staff. Tips are ready to take 24 hours a day, and unreasonably. The quality of cleaning leaves much to be desired. Bad water (the smell is nasty and the shower is not set to the same temperature).
Traders impudent, oily such.
Tez-tour services, which for a fee do not correspond to reality. A very big divorce. Obsessively so forced to attend their excursions the next day upon arrival, while people are still out.
But, as they say, learn from your mistakes. You won't know until you try. We would recommend this hotel to our friends!
