Good hotel with a large area. Once he had more stars, now there are only 3 honest, full-fledged ones. Half of the territory is fenced off from the eyes of tourists with a fence, there are abandoned buildings, a tennis court littered with rubbish and a rather littered area. All this is promised to be restored. Accordingly, construction work is constantly underway. With us, pavilions were built on the beach - a new restaurant and a new bar. A team of workers - work half a day, swear or stare at women for half a day. It will take a long time to build.
The food is good, there is always meat and fish, or meat and chicken. From fruits: guava, apples, melon, orange, grapefruit. Sweets are solid biscuits. Too spicy food or too national did not notice. The food is simple and delicious. For 10 days there were no problems with the stomach. Pour from 10 to 24 any local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There were always sun loungers on the beach. The pool is clean and warm. There is a gym, volleyball court, football field. It is better to bring balls with you. Animators pick up their equipment at 16-30.
From what I didn't like. Shameless ANEX charges $17 for a visa instead of $15. This is done only with CIS tourists. The Germans were sold a visa at the right price. Aneksovsky tourists are not allowed into the German queue. For $ 5 invested at registration, we were settled in a nice room on the 3rd floor of the 9th building. Everything was great in this room, except for the fact that there are interruptions in the water supply. In the morning at 8-00 and in the evening at 17-00 there is no water at all, neither hot nor cold. We must wait for the moment when it appears, but only cold water can appear. In the evening it was possible to wash ONLY with cold water! I also laughed at the situation with the hairdryer - a hairdryer can be ordered from the cleaner for 24 hours, then handed over and ordered again. And so every day. We brought ours.

On the beach with a volleyball court, garbage and algae, which come up from the sea every morning, lay on the shore until 11-00. Removed not actively. If something is being repaired on the territory, then wires, cardboard boxes, tools are also lying around all over the district. The master left, and the garbage is lying around almost until the morning. And they fix something all the time.
At 17-00 closed the bars on the beach and by the pool. There was a bar in the lobby. They do not pour into a one-time pasada in the lobby. And, on the paths leading to the buildings and to the garden, an employee appeared who did not let tourists with drinks through the territory adjacent to the restaurant (tables by the main pool). Sometimes it was very ugly. He grabs his sleeve, or, spreading his arms, stands across the road.
The hotel has animation. It definitely is, but we did not appreciate it. With imagination, the guys are tight, the shows are weak. I advise you to take care of the organization of leisure in the evening hours in advance.
In general, the hotel is excellent. Impressions are only positive.
