Just arrived. I am writing this review in hot pursuit. There were three of us: two adults and a 3-year-old child. Check-in: we arrived early in the morning, but we were told that we would be settled immediately, we just had to wait a bit. We sat for 40 minutes on the sofas in the lobby and that's it. At 7:00 in the morning we were already in the room without a hint of a surcharge. So everything is OK here. Room: the condition of the room is a little depressing. The furniture is old, the cabinets are either dried up so that they do not open or are about to fly off the hinges, the curtains have come off the hinges, the bathroom is gloomy with a dirty curtain and a poorly draining toilet bowl. The safe didn't work. TV, hair dryer, conder (old but working), the beds, although old, were quite comfortable. One is narrower, the other is a wide double bed. Bed linen and towels are clean. Everything is quite tolerable for an undemanding vacationer. More depressing was the state of the hull as a whole. By the time we got to our room, with every step, the mood was falling, looking at the shattered windows in the elevator and everywhere, shabby walls, dirty plates with leftover food stacked right on the floor in the corners of the corridor, dirty floors. But the most important thing is a shabby screen instead of the outer wall of the building, the purpose of which is to hide from the eyes of vacationers the ruins and dirt of a sluggish (or completely stopped) construction site adjacent to the building. From behind the screen came the cooing of pigeons and the bizarre shadows of accumulated and stuck dirt on the other side of it "pleased" the eye. But all this was forgotten at once, as soon as I saw the stunning view from the balcony of our room! The turquoise sea is very close, pools with slides with sky-blue water under the very balcony, in the distance - the houses of other hotels turn white. Very beautiful! Meals: On the first day, I was surprised that this hotel conditionally divided places for eating for vacationers of European appearance and the local population. The locals ate in the main restaurant, "ours" - in the Italian restaurant. Although, of course, no one set a taboo, and locals went to Italian and we had dinner mainly once (for a change). So, breakfasts are monotonous, omelettes, rolls with honey or jam, yoghurts (delicious by the way), cheese like cheese (the rest are not tasty), sausages that cannot be eaten, corn flakes, baked tomatoes with cheese, powdered potato puree, bean puree. Almost nothing is salty. You salt everything yourself at your table. Coffee, though instant, but very tasty. Especially with milk, which they have very fat. Lunch is more joyful and varied. There was always meat and fish, and chicken, hot soups, cakes, fruits (there were enough fruits: bananas, oranges, quince, there were grapes, almost always sweet melon, dates, once there was a pomegranate, apples, as a decoration on cakes). For lunch, if you ask, they give wine (white or red). You can also have lunch at a bar near the beach, there are mostly pizza, burgers, a la homemade chips, vegetables, fruits. Dinner: the grill wasn't always there, for two we didn't grill anything outside, but nevertheless, we always found something delicious in the restaurant. The grill was mostly chicken, sausages, beef cutlets (very tasty). And again you can order wine. . Sea, beach, territory: The sea is super, super, super! Beautiful! Clean, warm! The beach is good, one with a sandy entry into the sea, the other with a rocky one (there are live reefs, there are fish and a lot of hedgehogs! ). The beach is carefully cleaned throughout the day. There are no claims. Beach towels are quite fresh, not washed out. The hotel area is not very big, but all green and beautiful. You can take pictures at every step. Bushes are cut, lawns are watered around the clock, even at night. The exposition of stones with a fountain is very beautiful! Swimming pools: one for children at 50 cm, the second at 1.35 m and at 2 m, There are also two pools with slides. Slides are on from 10 am. until 12 noon and from 14h. until 16h. Cleaning service and overall impression: . Cleaning was superficial and only if you leave a dollar. No dollar - no cleaning. At least that's how it turned out for us. Water also sometimes "forgot" to leave, but it's good that he (the cleaner) could always be found on the floor and ask for water. The rest of the service for a non-picky vacationer is normal. If you are friendly - and you are friendly. Everyone smiles and tries to help. I did not notice any discrimination based on nationality. General impression: in general, everything is fine. The first day we walked, of course, saddened, but the beauty of the sea and its maximum proximity and slides, and beautiful territory smoothed out the unpleasant impressions of the first day. Wi-fi only in the lobby bar and on the terrace (weak), but we solved the issue with the Internet by buying a local SIM card at the airport. Children's animation (and adults too) is very weak, in the evenings the child has nothing to do, 15 minutes of children's disco (the same songs every day), the playroom is always closed, the trampoline is ugly and it has never been inflated. Children's playground - one swing at the restaurant and that's it. I consider this a big disadvantage. Entertain your child however you want. Of the vacationers, of course, there are many locals (60-70 percent). By the way, quite normal people, friendly, very friendly to children. Yes, they are noisy, but at least they don’t bawl songs in a drunken bass even at 12 o’clock in the afternoon! , As some vacationers of Slavic appearance did. Towels were not thrown off, they were not kicked out of the sun loungers (and in general from anywhere). Rest did not interfere. In general, everything turned out well in the end, the rest as a whole was pleasant. On the last day, due to a late departure, they extended the check-out from the room until 18.00. For this they asked for 30 dlr. (15dlr per person, as written in the information sheet of the hotel).
