Were with two children (3 and 5 years old) there in August 2011 and we are going there again!
PROS: The beach is huge, the bay is sheltered from the wind, it is completely calm all the time, compared to other hotels that overlook the open sea and hang out flags with a ban on swimming. gradually, here you can swim without slippers), along the edges of the bay there are corals. Be sure to take masks! I do not advise you to take excursions on a boat with a transparent bottom ($ 40) - in the water of this bay there are many more living creatures than they will show you on the excursion. You don't even have to be a good swimmer to do this. Just go to the beach from the side of the fish restaurant. There, standing ankle-deep in water, you can see so much beauty!! ! Regarding the heat: +30 in Crimea is much harder to bear than +40 there. We were in August, and we didn’t get burned even once, although we spent the whole day on the beach. The hotel also has 5 slides for adults and 4 for children in a children's paddling pool. As for food: the first 5 days are excellent, then it gets boring. But even a small food allergy sufferer had something to eat. I do not advise you to drink UPI, which is on tap in coolers. After a day or two, the stomach reacted violently to it. Stopped drinking - and everything is ok. More. Were led by reviews that they drink - horror. Taken in duty free. It turned out that they have quite decent beer, and gin, and rum and cola, and pina colada. Be sure to try their pohlava (oriental sweets) - it's wow! They say that the staff is unfriendly to the Slavs - it's not true. Smile back at them, ask how you are doing too - you will see the difference. We didn’t leave a tip, but always answered a smile with a smile - maybe that’s why they called us to a free table in a restaurant, put more goodies, gave ice cream not one at a time, but 4 servings at once (there are 4 types of it : ). We advise you to take medicines, essential goods, cigarettes - in the hotel shops, well, very expensive. Souvenirs, if you do not eat in the city, I advise you to buy already at the airport. You'll have an hour or two there before departure. Shops are full. Prices are half so exactly cheaper than in a hotel. CONS: we didn't look for them : )
