We ended up in this hotel quite by accident. In three other hotels that were suitable for the money, while we were trying to book rooms, for some reason there were always no places already... Of course, we read the reviews, but I always thought that people tend to exaggerate. In short, we didn’t have much choice, yes, even my mother’s passport was expiring, so we were running out of time! In general, we relied on the Russian maybe and drove off. I can say one thing: there were no exaggerations in the reviews! I'm not picky. Almost always I rested in treshki and did not expect anything supernatural from this hotel. However, my first impression of this hotel was just creepy! When we saw the number, we were shocked! It resembled some kind of dark cave, a dungeon (this was the first floor). There was no balcony there (((We wanted to change the room, but because
we had to wait more than a day for this happy event (it seemed like there were no free rooms), and in the meantime things had already been unpacked, and we talked with other tourists, we realized that there would be no better, in short, we decided to stay. And besides, we still had absolutely nothing: others either didn’t have light bulbs and refused to screw them in, or the air conditioner didn’t work, or something else like that. The porters who escorted us to the room began to simply impudently extort money. They barely got rid of them, giving a dollar for two, they didn’t want to leave, they demanded a second one) They don’t clean the rooms for free, or rather, they clean it only once, then they wait for money, if you don’t leave a dollar, they will clean it only after the scandal. But the biggest shock I had from the bar! There, everything you take had to be written down in a notebook, indicating the number, surname, quantity and names of drinks. In one hand they gave only one glass to take 2 drinks,
it was necessary to come together or prove for a long time that the second person is sitting on the couch, and I take it for two! Because of these recordings, there were always queues, and then their tea and coffee machine broke down altogether, and you had to go to the Desert Inn across the street for them, and there the bartender was like a Cerberus! Although this is one complex, and we had every right to drink tea in the "Dessert" as well as in our hotel. In the restaurant, the tables were always sticky and dirty, they were never wiped, they just brushed the crumbs on the chairs, the chairs, before sitting down, had to be wiped with a napkin, which was also not easy to get. There are a lot of flies in the restaurant, and several times cockroaches even crawled right on the table (there were cockroaches in the rooms, very large, by the way)!! ! Dishes are washed disgustingly. There were no cutlery, cups, glasses. Vegetables are also not washed, the sand constantly creaks on the teeth. The feeling that these queues are created purposefully everywhere.

The food is very monotonous. Breakfast always consisted of scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage (almost inedible), sausages, vegetables and some kind of cereal, which was suggested to be seasoned with something like honey, but it was not honey). In fairness, it should be noted that the scrambled eggs and pastries were quite decent. At least once they just boiled eggs or something, for a change, and they could make a salad out of vegetables, otherwise there were just 2 dishes, in one large pieces of tomatoes, in the other cucumbers. Lunch: pasta, rice, potatoes (always undercooked), bean stew, boiled meat or liver, and fish. There were also soups - some water in which onions float). But the taste was nothing, from hopelessness go sip! Dinners were better. There were desserts, fruits, fried chicken and vegetables were sometimes still crumbled into salads) From fruits they gave oranges, melons, unripe dates and guava, it smells delicious, but tastes like a rotting cucumber. Somewhere on the 5-6th day, my stomach got very sick,
the best remedy for this is alcohol before lunch and dinner, at least 50 grams each for disinfection, because unsanitary conditions are terrible! Here, some comrades wrote that for the money that was paid for the vouchers, nothing good should be expected, but our vouchers were not last-minute, but for the full normal cost and very expensive by the way! In general, in conclusion, I want to say that if you are going there, take only breakfasts and dinners, especially if you are not particularly fond of drinking. And even if you love it, the bartenders sell whiskey underfilled to tourists for cheap. You just have to ask. And there is duty free nearby. And you can dine in cafes in the neighborhood and it will come out cheaper and more varied. In fairness, I note that the territory is large and green. Pretty well-groomed. Birds live in cages: parrots and weavers. True, in the evenings, when watering begins (and they water it with sewage), the aroma is “wonderful” !!!
Well, I didn’t like the beach at all, the sand is deserted, the spit is artificial from some bags of cement. There is a large puddle, which is called a lagoon))) in it is knee-deep dirty water. There is a pier near the beach, so oily stains constantly float on the water and the smell is corresponding! And all the time there was a strong wind, such that not only towels, but even me were blown off the sunbeds! But this is not a claim to the hotel, just the time of year. In short, carefully approach the choice of a hotel and do not settle in the first one that comes across, like us!
P. S. This hotel is no longer 3 *, but 2. They took off a star from them for the wonders of comfort!
