We flew from there at night (15.04) and I hasten to share my impressions! Read to the end or even start from there!! )) The hotel is beautiful, the territory is not large, but well-groomed and with very beautiful vegetation!! ! The sea is shallow, corals come across, so it's better to go there in a special. shoes, although many walked barefoot, but oohed) Until you get to the depth, you get used to the water, although I won’t say that it was cold. There is a pantone nearby, but they were not allowed to go there from our hotel (for free). There are 3 swimming pools - central + children's - heated, deep and near the sea. We were in the central pool almost all the time, as we arrived with a small child (1.10 months). But places had to be taken at least at 8 o'clock, or even earlier (you can swim only until 17.00, then they are kicked out of the pool. There are 3 playgrounds on the territory, but more or less sand is only on the one on the beach. My child was delighted with them! ANIMATION is just SUPER!! ! Exercise, belly dance, darts, volleyball, water aerobics, just aerobics, Latin dances - the guys are just great!! ! In the evening, a disco for children for min 45, and then a show program - every day with a new theme! The guys came up with dances as a symbol of the hotel. Everyone enjoys dancing with them. It looks like a flash mob - I'm impressed!! ! For children there are playrooms with an animator (if we had a child older, then she would only hang out there). Children's animators also come up with all sorts of entertainment, dances, songs for children; even our baby joined the team. They are very kind to children! About the bars in principle have already been told in previous reviews. There is a 24-hour bar in the lobby (to the left of the entrance). I really didn’t like the food ((( - monotonous and not tasty !! ! I realized what it means you won’t stay hungry, as they say in the reviews. There is something to eat, but it is either spicy or tasteless (The fish was delicious, grilled chicken and veal, like spicy gravy (((a bunch of beans cooked in various ways))) soups - one water, a la cream soup, sweets - biscuits with fudge , some kind of sweet puddings, once a casserole, a sausage, like our "potato" and fried rice noodles was delicious. The cooks and those who deliver the cutlery do it as if you owe them, this food is almost not thrown into your plates It's not very nice!!! When choosing a hotel, they paid attention to the fact that there was children's food! We have a small child, and even prone to allergies, that is, dietary food would suit us. Everyone said that she would definitely be in a five-star hotel !! ! And she was not! Or rather, what I didn’t want to eat - boiled rice, once there was mashed potatoes and, like, steamed vegetables, without tasty ones (((There was a children’s menu separately in the hall: vermicelli, french fries, grilled chicken and grilled sausages, and we you can’t eat yet!! ! And everyone who came with children didn’t understand what to feed them! It’s good that we took instant cereals and canned food with us, otherwise we would either suffer with our stomachs or sit hungry (Housekeeping is a kapets ! ! We were cleaned 2 times in a week and then the sand remained on the paths as it was. The furniture is dusty, dark hair lay in the bathroom, and they lie. And they come to clean at lunchtime, when, in principle, everyone is resting in the room (((I she herself took out the garbage from the room and threw it into a bag so that it would not stink. It seems to me that this should not happen in a 5 * hotel !! ! Our room was on the ground floor and overlooked the central pool. The view is beautiful, but for a small child it is a bit noisy! As soon as we went to lunch, animation began with songs and dances, and even a tightly closed balcony did not help (Although the exit of windows to a neighboring hotel, trash can or road is not the best option! Now the MOST INTERESTING !! ! ATTENTION!! ! **** ** Eviction at 12.00!!!!!!! ****** then they bring you a piece of paper, where it is written in English that every hour is over 5€!!! ### Neither when you buy a ticket, nor the guide, they don’t focus on this at the reception, but it’s written in the contract and when you run to clarify it, the guide says that it’s written in Russian there !! ! in the lobby, and they themselves went further to the beach. The child had to be put in a stroller. And the guide does not work in the interests of vacationers, and if anything includes a fool (!! ! nearby stores, and then quickly driven back. We were in an aroma oil store and a cotton house. It was funny!! ! They leave for about half an hour and you go shopping. The smallest price there is $20 for 30 ml (in the hotel the same oils for $8 25 ml). The Cotton House is a souvenir shop, but the prices are reasonable! I was shocked by this trip to the city! ! We, like suckers, took a camera, a stroller, so as not to hang around with a child, and here such a divorce - no fruit for you, no special choice! There is no Wi-Fi, and the Internet is at some exorbitant price !! ! Although I am not spoiled by the variety of recreation, I did not expect this from a 5 * hotel !! !
