Отель больше чем на 4* не тянет The hotel is more than 4 * does not pull

I stayed with my wife in early October. At first, the hotel made a good impression, settled quickly enough within 10-15 minutes. At the reception in Russian understands and speaks a young man, always polite, smiling. They wanted to settle on the 3rd floor, but I asked for a room on the 2nd floor and closer to the sea, they said without any problems and indeed the room (269) turned out to be almost the most extreme to the sea, next to the stairs that went directly to the large pool, not far from the bar. Gave 10 dollars for it. I previously read in the reviews that this is in the order of things, although I thought that in principle it was possible not to give, but then I found out from other vacationers who came with us that those who did not tip at the reception called the rooms and said that they should thank the receptionist, although they did not ask for anything, but settled where they were originally booked. The room was clean, everything worked, they cleaned every day and quite efficiently even without a tip.
The hotel area is very small, but well-groomed, there is enough space on the beach and near the pools, as everywhere in the morning, people run early to take places, but in principle it was not necessary. I really liked the wicker canopies and side fences from the wind, by the way, they really help, because the wind is very often there. There are two entrances to the sea, one if you look directly from the side of the hotel (it’s not very good, you can break your legs while you go in) and the other to the right of the pier, that’s cool there !! ! There were many tourists from Ukraine in the hotel itself. Poland, Slovakia.
The sea itself is saltier than the Black Sea, in principle clean, there were no jellyfish, small fish swim, crabs come across at a depth, by the way, the beach itself is cleaned, but once they saw that workers cleaning the beach from algae throw them directly into the sea, not I know there were some negligent workers or this happens all the time, but the impression deteriorated, maybe that's why algae swam closer to the shore.

Animation in the hotel is, but to be honest it's not very good. In the evening, the so-called children's show is always the same, and on the third day, even the children are probably screaming with boredom. As for entertainment for adults, I can honestly say it all depends on the vacationers themselves, if a funny company comes across, then the performance will be appropriate.
As for food, those who have weak stomachs stock up on medicines in advance (Levomitsitin, mezim, festal, etc. ) basically there is nothing. Closer to dinner, they give a snack at the pool bar, it’s very convenient, if there is someone to relax there, try fresh hot cakes with sauce, my wife and I really liked them. As for lunch, the food is no better than the provincial canteen, mostly chicken chopped into pieces, sometimes veal. Garnished with 2 types of rice, short potatoes (either fried boiled, or fried and then boiled), spaghetti and pasta for an amateur, they seemed overcooked to me. Heaven is there only for those who love sweets. It is very varied and almost everything is delicious. As for fruits, to be honest, watermelon is not at all tasty, melon too, pears of the third grade are not marriage.
It is better to bring alcohol with you, but if you don’t care what to drink, you can get by with the local assortment.
Of all the excursions, I would recommend a trip on quad bikes and diving at a local diving center.
