Hello!
I returned from this hotel 3 days ago and while my memories are fresh, I want to share with you my impressions of staying at Sunny Days.
The first thing I want to start this review with is the number of stars at the hotel: PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT 5 *, but 4 *! ! ! Many tour operators (in Ukraine 60%, in Russia 90%), out of old habit and in order to cut extra money from tourists, position it as 5 *, but this is not so. When I was driving it, I knew that it was 4, so I am writing a review looking back at this figure.
So, I will begin, according to the good old tradition, to describe everything point by point:


ROOMS: All rooms in the hotel overlook either the lagoon or the sea ....so there is no point in paying extra for them, unless you want to help the brotherly people of Egypt: ) The worst thing that can be is if you are accommodated in a corner a room without a balcony (it happened to us, but we immediately went to the reception and they gave us another room without any complaints). The room was in the second building on the 1st floor...
many complained about the 1st floor, since there is an exit directly to the street and anyone can look into your room. But we also took advantage of this: if one of us went to bed, he left the balcony door open, and the second person could enter the room without disturbing the peace of the vacationer : ) And about the fact that they look into the room: ask yourself the question "Who needs you? ", because everyone came to rest, and not to look out for some phenomena in the windows. The equipment in the rooms is old, but at the same time everything works without any complaints ...and out of habit I will say: I spent 4-7 hours a day in the rooms in a horizontal position, so this point interests me the least. They cleaned our room every day, no complaints ...we left either a pack of cigarettes or one dollar every two days. There is a safe in every room which worked great for us.
BEACH: an artificial lagoon is dug between the buildings, the entrance to which from the side of the buildings is by steps or stairs, and from the reception side is sandy. At this time of the year it was possible to sunbathe either by the pool or on the "south" side (near buildings 5 ​ ​ and 6), because on the "north" side there was almost no sun and a piercing wind was blowing. There are a lot of sun loungers in the hotel, but because of the goons of Slavic appearance (sorry, but this is a bitter truth), there weren’t enough of them ...this was due to the fact that people (although this word is difficult for me to come up with) at 8 in the morning they occupied 2-4 sun loungers, and then at 3 o’clock they came, took the towels and calmly left ...If this essence were eradicated, then there would be enough space for everyone ...but I want too much)

POOL: The pool in the hotel is not big (the main focus is on the lagoon), but quite acceptable to swim in it ...I swam in it only once, when it was very cold (the water in the pool is heated) ...

BARS: There are 6 bars in the hotel + 2 bars in the main restaurant. Bars at the pool and on the beach are open from 10 to 17, in the Lobby and on the street from 10 to 00.00. I can’t say how long the bar at the disco has been open ...I only know that alcohol is poured there after children’s animation and until midnight. Many bartenders worked at different speeds depending on the length of the queue, thus often creating it artificially. At the disco, you can always call a waiter and he will bring you everything you want in normal glasses for a fee ...and will wait for your next wave of your hand, like a second coming : )

RESTAURANT: as I said, there are 2 bars in the main restaurant, so there were very few queues for drinks ...A huge problem, in my opinion, was an insufficient number of plates, cups, spoons ...which created a lot of inconvenience.
We did not go to the fish and Italian restaurants, as we have long understood that the quality of food rarely differs from the main restaurant. And now, in fact, about the food itself: FOOD in the hotel, as they say: "It's not a fountain, but there is a splash" : ) Some dishes were, frankly, spoiled to the point of incredible, and some were very worthy (I won't describe in detail, as the taste and color, as they say, all markers are different). Every evening is themed and, supposedly, corresponds to a certain theme: dumplings (bee), borscht (beetroot broth) and SUSHI were served for the Russian evening! )))) It was, perhaps, the most themed dinner, since all the others were served a standard menu...The most disappointing thing was that cucumbers and tomatoes were not served separately in this hotel, but only in the form of a salad.... and a slicer did not always give separately what you want ...
There were a lot of pastries and sweets, but I can’t say anything about their taste, because I don’t like either the first or the second. Of the fruits, there were always guava and dates ....oranges, tangerines and pomegranates also appeared ...

ALCOHOL: I think that I will not tell anything new if I say that the local alcohol is full of g. . but, or Hara, as the Arabs say) I only drank beer ...because it somehow resembled beer in taste. Whiskey differed from gin only by the presence of a dye...Near all bars there is a cocktail list, the cocktails from which were made on the basis of yuppies...Therefore, lovers of withdrawing into themselves and remembering the rest from photographs are recommended to improve the profitability in Duty Free stores.


PUBLIC: 85% of the hotel guests are from the CIS countries...The remaining 15 are Poles, Germans, and there were even Chinese...At the time of our check-in, there was one class of holidaymakers, and at the time of departure, a "generational change" had already taken place.
This was due to the prices for the tour - during the holidays they were higher than at other times ...therefore, from the 5-6th, people began to appear who abruptly stopped liking the service, the hotel ...and in general everyone who was around them . A distinctive feature of this audience: the presence of slippers with socks on their feet) and they were all from Moscow (Moscow, in their understanding, is the entire territory of Russia from Ryazan to Arkhangelsk): ) And this was not their only puncture in geography ....many of them asking me where I am from, and receiving in response that I am from Kyiv ...with a smart look they uttered the following words: "Well, this is Poland? ") I did not want to upset them and lower their self-esteem and therefore said that no , this is not Poland, but the southern part of Estonia) But such a people sometimes really cheers up everyone around)

RESULT: if you go to this hotel, as in 4 *, then it fully meets this category ...Would I go to it again? - Yes, I would go if the price was 350-400 dollars per tour.
My final score, taking into account all the components, is 6.5 out of 10.
