Were in the middle of April. We chose both by reviews and by location - close to the city, close to the airport - no need to spend 3-4 hours on the road.
The hotel is pulled on a strong quarter. Average (although most of it is closed and under renovation). Small beach, green area.
Settlement: . we arrived before 8 am and we weren't checked in until 10. Standard practice. All things were left in the hall, they were looked after, and then, according to interests, who changed clothes and went to the beach, who sat on the Internet in the lobby, the Serbs who arrived a little earlier in the fresh air tasted the drinks they brought with them. Check-in started at 9:40. But it all depended on the type of room you chose.
The number of rooms is old, the furniture is dead, in most rooms there is 1 double bed, one single bed, wardrobe, safe, refrigerator, TV, 2 tables (one on the balcony). Some rooms also have an electric kettle.

Nutrition. 1 main restaurant and on the beach. It's hard to stay hungry. every evening something was cooked on the grill - quail, fish, chicken.
Of the fruits were oranges, bananas, guava, melons.
Animation during the day was not bad, games, aqua, dancing, gymnastics, but the evening was sloppy. well, then a bunch of shops, cafes, souvenir and food stalls.
Since we chose a hotel in the city, we ended up in a mosque, a fish market and a number of shops.
Many praise the restaurant near the fish market, when we were in it, we could not explain ourselves to the waiter. We do not speak Arabic, but the waiters did not speak either English or German, unfortunately.
We took a chance and bought shrimp right on the market, and immediately cooked them on the grill. The goals remained and are alive : ) the main thing is not to come at night. There are places where they sell around the clock, in addition, the price is higher.
Do not be afraid to go deep into the market and bargain. Please arrive before 4:00 pm at the latest.
Parallel to the street with the fish market (not opposite the market). and on the next street) there is a fruit shop. The seller speaks tolerably both Russian and English. Locals always buy there. WE brought home melons (April, everyone was happy at home), guava and dates.
If you leave the hotel on the street and turn right (in the opposite direction from the center), then after 5 minutes there will be souvenir shops, and opposite several shopping centers. In the shopping center, the price is fixed, but it is clean, tidy, no one grabs by the hand. There are often discounts. We bought in the shopping center, 5 floors - there is everything you want: masks, fins, leather, bags, belts, T-shirts, teas and spices, etc. The advantage is that you can pay both in bucks, local pounds, and with an ordinary bank card at the NBU rate. actually paid in hryvnia.
