We left on a last minute trip, it turned out very budget. Transaero flew - everything is very good, without delay. All sorts of travel kits for children, a children's menu. Only at the airport did Sheremetyevo employees try to force me to check in the baby stroller as luggage, assuring me in every possible way that it would be inconvenient for me to wait with her in the waiting room and get to the plane (! ). And very persistently, even a representative of the airport came to the check-in desk. - and I was flying alone with two small children, one of them is a baby, and even hand luggage. Apparently, I had to carry the child in my teeth, in their opinion. But I did not give up, they left the stroller for me and I safely got to the plane without any problems.
Met, settled - no problem. True, at first they gave some kind of settling number. I went, looked, asked for another one - it turned out to be excellent, very spacious, there is a lot of greenery nearby. There was hot water even after sunset, though it could run out if you bathe for a long time. By the way, there was a bath, not just a shower, as usual. Soundproofing between rooms is good. Some evenings it was a bit chilly in the room, but we put the air conditioner on for heating and it turned out very well.
Very quiet and calm (maybe because there were few vacationers). A lot of greenery, there is where to walk, the territory is very large.

The heated pools DID NOT WORK!
During our vacation, the paths were turned around, the coating was changed.
The food is not much variety. But it's delicious, very tasty. Liked the food. The restaurant has a coffee machine, so all sorts of lattes, cocoa, etc. are no problem. The waiters are almost all friendly, no money extorted. I don’t know if food can be taken out of the restaurant, but we took out fruit. True, I was with the children, maybe that's why they didn't tell us anything?
The beach is excellent. Fish of all sorts of crazy colors swim right by the pontoon, you don’t even have to swim far. There is surfing, horseback riding - the prices are reasonable if you bargain.
Almost all staff can communicate in Russian. Everyone is friendly, greet, a pleasant impression was left (besides that dude who tells numbers by numbers. But - the family has its black sheep, as they say). Our guide from Intourist - Assam, that's what his name seems to be, a good uncle, the first time I see such a good guide (well, or I was unlucky, or something).
We bought a lot of all kinds of local products - from silk carpets to pearl beads, if you bargain well, then the prices are simply ridiculous.
Russian-speaking animators are a horror. Especially for children - a collective farm on the road.
Every day the territory is fumigated from special units, so there are no mosquitoes.
In general - I liked it, the children are delighted : )
