In general, a good hotel, but a strong three +, it probably was a four in the first years of operation (we have repeatedly heard that the Marlin Inn is not what it used to be). First, about the pros: 1st coastline; a chic sea (everyone who likes to watch the underwater world must take masks, because even where ankle-deep, there are many fish, and deeper - squid, cuttlefish, starfish of various species (on one of the days we examined whole 5 species, within the buoys), fish); its own cozy compact beach, where everyone always has enough sunbeds, regardless of the number of guests in the hotel (some kind of fantasy), it takes exactly 5 minutes to go to the beach from the farthest room on the territory of the hotel); cool animation (in the travel agency we were told for some reason that the animation is so-so - 1.5 not very active people, in fact - 4 animators who are super sociable, active, funny, but at the same time completely unobtrusive, they manage to have both children and adults equally; the evening program is of course repeated, but this already depends on the hotel, and not on the guys; but during the day - everything is just wonderful: sports, games, foam parties, and just chatting to anyone who needs it); food (generally quite normal, but not "wow": always chicken, beef, vegetables (fresh and in the form of all sorts of stews), rice, potatoes, pasta, fish every other day, sweets - a separate huge table, fruits - completely ordinary pears, bananas, pomegranates, dates, pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast); staff (the bartenders and waiters are very polite, smiling, always trying to help, animators). From what I didn’t particularly like: the rooms (absolutely all the rooms could do with cosmetic repairs in general; everywhere something is broken, spoiled, does not work); cleaning (probably one of the biggest minuses - not once in 11 nights we were properly washed the floor, not for a tip, not just like that, not after requests together with a tip; and this is the situation throughout the hotel; I'm not talking about dust, it probably never dry at all; but towels are changed regularly); reception staff (firstly: no one (!!! ) at the reception speaks Russian (or does not want to speak for free, as the guide hinted to us), secondly: not a single tiny step towards solving any issue, constantly they shrug with insane smiles on their faces (therefore, on all issues - only to the hotel guide from the travel agency); by the way, in general, few people in the hotel speak Russian, but if the animators, bartenders, waiters try their best to understand and help, then on the receptionist does not need anything at all); wi-fi (only catches in the lobby and is very, very tight, only enough for messages, even with a photo of the problem, so it’s better to immediately buy a local SIM card with the Internet; and suddenly someone will need it: skype only works via wi-fi (! ). In general, the impressions were good, and most importantly, why go to the sea - the sea itself - just wonderful !! !
