Don't believe the rave reviews! They simply cannot be in this hotel!
Do not trust reviews without travel dates and without specifics!
I am a seasoned tourist.
The hotel sucks, the maximum pulls on the top three with a fat minus.

If I had not seen the dated satellite imagery with my own eyes, I would never have believed that the hotel was newly built and only opened in autumn! I saw seven! numbers! Seven! including sea ​ ​ view and king size trouble! This is a complete OUT, comrades! Not only was the furniture clearly purchased, but, apparently, the doors with platbands, too, the mirrors with worn out amalgam. There is a good plasma in the room, but there is a deep scratch across the entire screen, the refrigerator is dead. As for the "lack of" hot water - the purest truth, with it there is a regular strain. They said that this is a problem in the city, not in a hotel, then it is barely warm, the drains work so as not to work, the water stays until it evaporates, because there is nowhere for it to go, apparently they bought bush pipes. Of all the numbers viewed, I chose the BEST. (2101, overlooking the entrance to the hotel and the courtyard with a swimming pool, see the photo and draw your own conclusions).
I opened a suitcase at home upon my return - all the clothes stink of smoke! The hotel smokes everywhere, incl. and near the children's pool. Moreover, neither I nor my companion smoke and did not sit in the forehead, they stink along the way!
That would honestly position themselves as three stars - well, a tolerable three-star hotel would be! But not ultra. By the way! New feature of the hotel! Not only is it ultra all, but they also have a “plus” postscript and everything that the soul so requested and that was declared for public use, such as: sauna and massage once for free, Wi-Fi throughout the territory, a filled mini-bar and other benefits, now it's all available only in this very plus, for which 10 bucks a day take it out and put it down! The Chinese in down jackets and panamas attack from all sides around the clock, like herds of noisy geese roam between the pools, because there is nowhere else to go! I was already interested in coffee here, someone wrote about good coffee in the lobby - a lie, there is no coffee there, I honestly searched and tasted all these liquids with the smell of dirty rags and sour cottage cheese, honestly, honestly! By the way, on the fourth day of our stay, the coffee machine from the lobby was taken away in an unknown direction and we didn’t see it again, we drank coffee from vending machines, but it wasn’t tasty either! I've been carrying everything with me for a long time, but I had to try it. I also saved up a photo for you, so that they would not think that the harmful uncle was caught. If you close your eyes to everything and perceive the hotel as a 3-star hotel built in 2000, with the appropriate service, then for 300 Moiseev steps to the depths of the sea, waist-deep, who will be able to close, and who will give up and go for the same price, but in a normal four with its own lagoon, so it's up to you, but I would not recommend it if I returned from this "miracle"!
Regularly, according to its schedule, a prayer from the mosque is carried to the entire "Ivanovskaya", it did not bother me.

The hotel has no territory, i. e. no at all, only paths around the pools and in 5 minutes you can get around everything and walk along the beach to neighboring hotels. There is an ATM in the nearby "Festival", but we went to it a couple of times - it did not work.
Although we were lucky with the weather, it was +9 upon arrival, it was freezing for three days, then it cleared up, but the water park still started working on the third day, even though in the pools, according to the caretakers, it was +12, but I went for a ride - this satisfied. On the beach, they give out either sheets for the entire sunbed, or "handkerchiefs" (apparently they also bought bu from different hotels, everything is already shabby), we changed it once after the scarves for sheets and did not hand it over until the end of the holiday. Bottled water only upon check-in, we were given 4 and a half liters for 2, then only from the cooler, there is no bottled water, you will not find it.
I thought: well, figs with bad weather, it’s not the hotel’s fault, we’ll eat at least tasty - figs there! I dare not call the dining room a restaurant, the furniture was also purchased different, shabby, on the tables, instead of tablecloths and five-star serving, plastic dirty substrates, do not look for paper napkins, beg for toothpicks from the bartender (I saw), the food seems to be there, but not impressed and not once in 8 days have they served crabs so advertised by tourists who have been there before, although there were their shells stuffed with the same frozen tasteless squids, once there were shrimp, ordinary, frozen, the cheapest ones that we have in all supermarkets. I saw a turkey only in the review of one tourist, with me there were quails - edible, beef in different versions, but you can chew on figs, chicken (it was even quite tasty a couple of times), one type of fish, similar to pangasius for lunch and dinner every day in a different version , squids are also almost daily, but those are not the same squids, so do not flatter yourself. The rest is standard: rolls, salad cuts (I didn’t take it, I didn’t like the look), pasta, potatoes, sweets, fruits. There were Turkish sweets for dinner twice - that was really delicious. In the beach bar, pizza, although it cannot be called pizza, is simply baked on the dough, as it seemed to me, what was undereaten from breakfast, if not from dinner; hamburgers or kebabs, a couple of bowls of salads and fries. Someone wrote about a wide selection of very tasty cheeses for breakfast - there is none, two kinds - both disgusting. For breakfast, the cook bakes pancakes, but he was not always there. Nothing industrially packaged, such as yoghurts, jams, juices, butter (with the exception of the spread) is not here. For dinner, one cook stands in the same place where pancakes are made in the morning and makes pasta (he warms ready-made pasta in hot water and flavors it with something at your discretion - it’s not tasty), another, such a funny ninja in glasses, fries something on "grill (although what the hell is a grill, an ordinary built-in stainless steel baking sheet, by no means a grill that should be with an open fire), since there was a delicious liver, but it gives a tiny piece in one hand and there is always a queue, nothing else attracted me for a week Do not believe those who write about chic food - it is not there either, although go and see for yourself.
Drinks: if they start a bottle with you, it will still not be diluted, but everything is only local from plastic bottles, except for beer - that's not bad beer.

To go into the sea even waist-deep, you have to walk 300 steps on the bone, I specifically thought. I did without slippers, although I had them with me, you walk, like we have a thread somewhere along the muddy bottom in our river, I saw along the way in the water a piece of protruding reinforcement and a lot of some kind of mink holes.
I saw people crying at the reception, not from an overabundance of positive emotions.
Baggage packing at the hotel is 5 bucks or 4 euros, at a neighboring hotel 4 and 3, respectively.
In short - velkam that... ! )
There will be questions - you are welcome!
