Rested with friends in the period from 3rd to 10th May. The overall impression of the hotel is positive, but there are a couple of not very pleasant moments. The hotel staff does not know the Russian language, and if they do, they do not understand the meaning of the expressions at all. Mostly Germans, Poles and Englishmen rest in the hotel. As it turned out, Russians often go to Triton Empire Beach 3*. It is easier for Russian speakers there - both the staff understands, and the animators are Russian. When settling $ 5 at the reception - for this they got a cool room, but the view from the balcony - at least don't go out at all, solid slums and construction. For another $ 5 - 6, the resettlement manager was given a room with a sea view, corner. Friends on the 5th floor, we are on the 6th. Everything is fine with them, including cleaning - and they twisted swans, and towels were changed every day. But on the 6th - I didn’t even always lay down toilet paper, I’m already silent about the beast from towels (thanks that at least they were)! At the same time, they left the cleaner the same amount of tea - 3-5 pounds each. But it was possible to put up with this, but with air conditioners on the roof that cool the entire hotel (personal in the rooms)... On the 5th day, we thought we were going crazy! Buzz around the clock, trembling walls, rattling glasses and pictures on the wall. In general, do not be fooled by the awesome view from the balcony - it is impossible to live on the 6th floor! And the bathrooms were amazing. I have not seen this for a very long time: on the floor there is a shallow basin about 60 * 60cm, and a curtain! It is impossible to turn around, as a result, after each bath on the floor, the water is a couple of centimeters thick. Well, at least it dries quickly.
The beach is a 10 minute walk across the street from the hospital. The beach itself is nice, clean, but small. It was hard to find a seat after dinner. But on the pier, in the shade - no problem, and the waves are beating near the ear - beauty!
The food is really a bit monotonous, but there is always plenty to choose from. Worst of all was breakfast - even though I love an omelet, it gets boring. Saved pancakes and fruit. About fruits separately: dates and melon. The dates seem to be canned, made from compote, but delicious. And the melon! I haven't eaten anywhere else. Their melons are not large, green in color, but incredibly tasty!

If we were tired of eating at the hotel, we went to the restaurant "Kanaria". There they gorged themselves on fish, squid, lobsters and shrimps. With cold beer and garlic tortilla - delicious!
Excursions were taken from Pegasus, as they flew through them. We were satisfied with the quality of transport (which is important in 50-degree heat), and guides. Everyone spoke Russian well, but most importantly, they understood!
On the 7th day they realized - it's still not enough !! !
