Good afternoon.
There are already enough reviews and comments for this hotel, so I will try to tell about my vacation without exaggeration and to the point.

1. INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOTEL (rooms).
Large green area - a real summer garden. There are places to walk and take pictures. At night, the hotel grounds are illuminated in muted green, which adds a touch of romance to the holiday atmosphere.

The rooms in the buildings are almost all the same. The building has three floors: the first is a terrace - a direct path to the pool and garden. But keep in mind that vacationers can walk past you, so complete privacy will not work. The second floor is the most ideal option: a spacious room with a balcony where you can safely while away the evenings. There are chairs and a glass table. And the third floor - the so-called open-air.

That is, when you go out onto the balcony, there is no roof over your head, and therefore the hot rays of the sun will constantly fry you. Tip: try to arrange a room on the second floor.

In addition, there is an amphitheater next to the main restaurant (Jardino). Every evening, at 20:00 and 21:00, performances for children and adults, respectively, begin. If you are given a room in the first or second building, that is, in the immediate vicinity of the amphitheater, get ready for the fact that it will be very noisy until 22:00-23:00. Tightly closed balcony doors will save. The farther the location of the case (there are 10 of them, if I'm not mistaken), the less noisy it is.

2. CLEANING THE ROOM.
If you want, you can keep a dollar, you can not leave. All the cleaning came down to the fact that the cleaner just made the bed, changed the bath towels and that's it. I made origami from towels. The dust was not wiped, the floors were not washed. Things didn't go missing.

3. POOLS and SEA.
The Garden has three swimming pools. One is round, but small in size. Deep. The second pool is located nearby, it hosts the main activities: aqua aerobics, water polo and so on. Near it is constantly a team of animators and plays disco music. Drinks bar nearby. The third pool, in principle, is large, located in another part of the hotel complex. It is for those who love privacy. Near the bar with drinks and food (pizza, french fries, fish, salads, ice cream, etc. ).

Sea. The beach is sandy, sunscreen "fungi" are located throughout the beach. The entrance to the sea is also sand, but sometimes, due to frequent tides (then the entire distance to the buoys will be up to your waist), you can stumble upon sharp stones. There are ordinary fish in the water, but they bite painfully. Do not stand in one place for a long time: slosh your feet, hands, or swim forward a little until you feel the muddy bottom. Here you can not be afraid of fish.

There is a bar on the beach for drinks and food. Animation on the beach is French balls (Bocha) and volleyball. There is a pier nearby. You can walk along it to the end, there will be a ladder descent into the open sea on both sides - take a mask, goggles, dive - you can admire the inhabitants of the Red Sea. Don't dive! Sea urchins at the bottom.

4. ANIMATION.

To be honest, it seems to be there, but it is not. That is, every day is the same. Remember Comrade Dynin from the film “Entrance is forbidden to strangers or ... ”, when the pioneer leaders proved to him that every year is the same and boring. It's the same here. In three days you will know every movement of aqua aerobics, you will know which song will sound in the radio room for this or that. Although, we must pay tribute, the animators are trying.

5. INTERNET.
Perhaps for many vacationers this is the most pressing issue. So, he is not! ! ! Rather, there is Wi-Fi throughout the territory (paid). Do not buy.
First, it's very expensive. For example, 50 u. That is, it's 3 days + 3 days for free = almost a week in total. And, secondly, there is no speed at all. Google can open for hours. Believe me. If you want to use the Internet, you do not need to go to McDonald's, which is outside the hotel, literally across the street. Better ask your hotel representative - where to buy a modem with a SIM card? The cost is 20-25 USD. e. For this money you will get unlimited internet. As for the speed: communication via Skype goes with a bang. The videos on youtube (I give as an example of speed) go without delay. Take a laptop or netbook with you and use it.

6. FOOD IN A RESTAURANT.
Breakfast in the main restaurant is monotonous. It's true. Eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, cheese, sausage, pancakes, salads, and much more. Lunch and dinner are really varied. Plus, every day the dinner is themed - Mexico, Egypt, Asia, etc.

But do not think that you will be fed only traditional dishes of a particular country. One or two dishes will really correspond to the customs of this or that people. Tip: if you can eat freely for breakfast, then for lunch and dinner it is advisable to arrive on time or even in advance. Firstly, there will be a chance to take a good place, and secondly, you will not have to stand in shameless queues for a piece of meat. If you didn’t have enough, then don’t rush to move away from the dish - it will be renewed now. In general, try to always sit at the same table. Don't change your location every time.

GENERAL.
Try to learn at least a few elementary expressions in English. You will have a completely different attitude. And most importantly, the fact that you put a red bracelet on your hand (and no matter what you wear in general), is not a reason to behave like a king and perceive the attendants as your slaves.
After all, one day this same bracelet will be cut off for you and you will already be a slave. Remember, no one owes you anything. People work, work for the benefit of your rest, and in this they must be given their due. Therefore, do not spoil your vacation with your own attitude and behavior.
