Hotel ratings by criteria:
The holiday was 100% complete!
First the cons.
First - this does not apply to the hotel or to the host, or to the agency. Pulkovo, our favorite. The biggest bummer is to get up at 7.00 in the morning in anticipation of the fact that at 19.00 in the evening you will already be lying in the sun and getting your dose of ultraviolet radiation and HERE IT IS!! ! Flight delayed!! ! For 3 hours ...well, what is it . . Nobody even gathered us, didn’t say anything, they themselves ran around the airport like mad and looked where the landing was !! ! At the same time, the wrong exits were announced several times, and so on . . The employees are very stupid, who don’t care about anything. And in general - the time of the season begins - it's time to do not charter flights, which you learn about a day before departure, but normal regular flights ...But this is true, an insult to vacationers ..


The second is the tourists themselves. Why, like crazy, everyone rushes to Duty Free, buys alcohol (as if it will never be there again) . . By the way, the prices do not differ at all from the prices in the city ..
And in an airplane, during a five-hour flight, they get drunk until they lose consciousness and in general any appearance . . You go on vacation, you can arrange a drink at home ...And then they say - "Why don't they like us so much! ". By the way, we are going to a Muslim country . . This is also true ...thinking aloud ..

And that's all ....the minuses are over . . further went relaxed.

Travel agency: 5+, Thank you very much, Alena - everything is fine!!!
Meeting party and arrival: Met by the company "ALS TOUR" (Turenergoservice "TES"). Immediately found our "guide". We were offered to fill out entry cards and pay for a visa. There is a nuance. A visa at the bank now costs $15, but you can buy it from the "conductor" for $18 so as not to stand in line. food for thought - we took 18 (but when we got to passport control, or rather we went half way, the line at the bank dissipated). If you eat together - one to the bank, the second to control and $ 6 - savings))))

Bus to the hotel: firm "ALS TOUR" (Turenergoservis "TES"). Well, this is the problem.
They also have large good buses and minibuses. So, who will be taken on the minibus, get ready, they throw the luggage upstairs and ask for baksheesh ($ 1) per person.
If there is a tall man, they will ask for help.

Hotel: Since we were late with the departure, there were no problems with the check-in. The room is good, a little sloppy seams on the tiles, the shower is strange. But they gave us on the first floor. Therefore, no problem. There is a hair dryer in the room, but it is not very strong (for example: such hair dryers are in aqua parks). It is possible to dry the heads, but laying them is long and dreary. It is not clear why we had a separate sink in the room itself, we did not understand. We came for an active holiday, so the main thing for us was the bed - a large, soft one.


Guide consultations: The next day we had guide consultations, the group was gathered and taken to a separate room. They explain the basic rules and warn against misunderstandings. Thanks Katherine! ! All clear!!
Food: A lot of restaurants besides our main one, delicious desserts (Le Marche), Italian (lasagna is great), Lebanese (hello to the waiters), Greek, Oasis (meat on the coals, grilled chicken + you can choose your own meat, seasonings and the chef will cook it for you on your eyes) and so on. According to the baksheesh gadfly - decide for yourself how you will be served, how everything will be brought. How will they monitor whether your glasses are empty, etc.
If you have a birthday on vacation - they will bring you a cake and sing a song (you must warn).
Take medicine - they can come in handy, not because of the quality of food, but because of the habit and their food, seasonings, etc..

Service: housekeeping - £.10 a week, don't put £.1 a day. Better 5 but twice. We generally let go 3 days of our "housekeeping".
SWANS were not blinded)))))))))) (how did they all get us there with these swans, who needs them !!!! )
Well, of course, there are a lot of gigolos there, if the girl is alone she will be surrounded by care and attention ! ! But it can all be at her expense! Don't be fooled!!

Recreation: Great tennis for free 1 hour per room for the whole vacation, you can pay extra, but there is a problem not very good rackets and balls (if you like tennis, take all your own), table tennis, bowling next to the hotel (50% for Sinbad residents) , darts, basketball, volleyball and most importantly AQUA PARK. aqua park is free for those who have a CAL type of food - an all-inclusive club. For the rest $30 per day (as far as I understand it includes lunch, but I could be wrong).
Take sun protection and skin care!! ! frying is not childish!! ! the first day we swam in t-shirts. The water is soft, but the skin is very dry, additional care is needed)).

Evening life: Regina - a club in Sindbad (entrance until 00.00 - free of charge).

Ministry of Sound - affiliate of Ministry of Sound from London!!!! ! The best day is Saturday - a DJ arrives from London (located in Sakkala - by taxi 10 pounds for two, an average of 5 pounds per person). If they say that 20 or more - this is the norm - LIE!! ! Leave and catch another wheelbarrow. Entrance to the club is a maximum of 50 pounds per person (250 rubles), if they ask for more, then there should be either a free drink or some kind of food (shawarma). Well, that's just where we were, there are a few more clubs. In general, at the airport, at the exit to the buses, they hand out brochures where you can read about the clubs.
