Гранд Плаза Grand Plaza

I just returned from this hotel, I am writing a review based on fresh impressions. Of the pluses - the good location of the hotel, go across the road, then through the territory of 5 * and you are at the sea. The territory is well-groomed and green, an interesting system of pools, there are 3 water slides, though all the pools are cold. The only heated pool is located in 5 *, you can visit it freely, although there are not many sunbeds around it.
The beach is good, fine sand, a lot of sunbeds, enough for everyone, convenient entry into the sea. There is almost no living creatures in the sea, at the end of the beach there is a spit, where you can see several fish, shells, sea urchins, unfortunately dead corals. Nevertheless, the sea is very pleasant, clean, convenient for both children and those who like to swim and dive.
The food is good and varied. Always beef or lamb, chicken, fish, a lot of side dishes and salads, there are soups for lunch and dinner, delicious desserts, fruits were dates, guava, melon, pomegranate, orange, sometimes bananas, persimmons - though unripe, they fry eggs and pancakes with any filling. In general, everyone can find something to their liking. The only downside is the lack of seafood. For 9 days, there were crabs 1 time and squids with vegetables 1 time, I would like a larger assortment, although this is more of a nit-picking : )

There are 3 bars on the territory - near the pool, opposite the reception and on the beach. Service is ok everywhere. Coffee is good, tea is only teabags.
The rooms are good. We were settled immediately upon arrival, at 8 in the morning, of course, $ 10 in the passport did their job : ) All rooms overlook the courtyard, you can only choose the floor (on the first floor there is access from the balcony directly to the street), well, proximity to the restaurant and leaving the hotel. Balconies are available in all rooms. Removed normally. Every day they brought a bottle of water, the room has a kettle and a tea set, a safe for free, 2 Russian TV channels. The staff is pleasant, everyone is polite, they say hello / smile, they didn’t steal from the room.
Animation as such in the hotel is practically non-existent. A couple of times there was children's animation, aerobics on the beach, some shows are held in 5 * in the evening, but we did not go. The ratio of Slavs and foreigners was 50/50.
The most notable minus is construction behind the hotel. Not very noisy, you can’t hear it in the room, it was quiet in the evening and in the morning, during the day there were some work going on. Well, the proximity to the airport, even in the room you can hear how the planes take off and land. But I would not say that this is a specific minus, the planes did not interfere with me.
P. S. we traveled from Anex, there are no complaints against the tour operator, except for a visa costing $18 instead of $15. We bought excursions on the street, the price is 2 times cheaper, and the service is the same.
