We rested in June, a tour for 7 nights, without a water park in the voucher. He was not particularly interesting to us, but we went once for a fee. Bar included. In general, not bad, but there are few normal slides, there are not enough “buns”, but these are trifles.
They settled us at about 12 o'clock, sat in Wi-Fi, unsubscribed to relatives, then walked around the territory, killed time. The room is simple, tidy, everything you need is available. Water in 1.5 liters. a bottle was delivered daily by the cleaner. The guy is nice, not intrusive, I don’t remember the name, he cleaned normally, they left something for tea. From the room view of the pool, 2 fl. Side sea view. We didn't use the pool, only the sea.
The beach is huge, there are always places, the bar is open, drinks, snacks, well, so-so. Cocktail: the bartender pours vodka into a glass, and diluted with cola or yupisok himself from the cooler)). Fresh juices on the beach are delicious, we tried all 2 glasses = $ 3. The entry into the sea is gentle, comfortable depth, swimming is a pleasure, there are corals, fish too. Small drops, not critical. Sunset where it is better, where it is worse, the sand is not everywhere fine and there are stones. Better of course in aqua shoes. The beach is the only big plus of the hotel, everything else is like that.

The territory is huge, but stupid, Emerald is far from the entrance. We returned by taxi a couple of times, they let us through at the barrier, the main thing is to show the bracelets. There is little greenery, look for beautiful locations for photos. Non-working hotels are closed, there are signs everywhere that entry is prohibited, I don’t understand why tourists still go there, into abandoned places, and take pictures to show how bad everything is... nonsense. Whoever wants to find the negative will find it, but we were looking for the positive. Flowering shrubs are pleasing to the eye, but this is on the way to the entrance, near the Emerald is not green...
The food is average, but based on the price of the tour, the norms. There are always two or three types of meat, there are national dishes, but they don’t look very good... I didn’t want to try, I didn’t like the soups, not one for all the time... There are a lot of sweets, beautiful, but... really tasty - few, very few. It seems that the choice of dishes is large, but you go around with a plate and there is nothing special to take... Drinks are self-service, it's more convenient than waiting . . The tables are cleared instantly, there are no questions asked.
The staff is friendly, in English-Russian quite)), near the reception there is a table with a Russian-speaking guest relay. Lobby bar on all from 10 to 10 a glass of tea $ 1... There is a coffee machine, latte, cappuccino, etc. from 10.00 free. I won’t say for alcohol, I didn’t drink.
Animation, in my opinion, only guys, a couple of people, remembered only the nickname of one "Catastrophe". Didn't go to the show, can't comment. We entertained ourselves, excursions, walked to the Senzo Mall, looked at other hotels in both directions, went to the center on the embankment (from the hotel $ 4 one way, this is already a bargain). There are plenty of shops behind the hotel. From excursions we took Orange Bay and Luxor, everything is super, I liked it very much, only Luxor takes the whole day... but it's worth it. Travel far, but comfortable, the bus is good soft, with air conditioning, meals included and all tickets, nothing extra.
Summing up, we can say that for the money paid, the hotel is quite normal. Do not look at the stars, only the price is the only true indicator. This is one of the cheapest tours among the 4 and 5, so no need to flatter yourself. Price quality. Either add some money and get a better one, or don't show off if you only scammed on this hotel… No offense….
