The beginning of the holiday was good - the plane took off from Domodedovo Airport with RoyalFlight without delay and arrived 10 minutes earlier. It was a good sign that everything would go well. The hotel is well organized meeting new arrivals. We arrived at 15.10, lunch until 15, but we were fed. On the second floor of the reception, everyone was quickly settled. And at 16.00 we already went to get acquainted with the hotel. NUMBERS. We had an aqua park. I read in the reviews that the 6th building was good, but I decided to rely on luck and didn’t ask for anything, but, that’s fate, they gave it to the 6th building! The room turned out to be good: 2nd floor, large, everything is in order. True, the beds are separate. But it's not a problem to move them! In general, there are few double beds in hotels. By the way, the beds were beautiful, not squeaky, comfortable. And yet, recently in hotels we come across rooms with poor lighting, and here are two well-lit table lamps, a floor lamp and plus good lighting in the corridor. In the morning we thought, maybe change it to Duna. It seems to be better there. But at the reception they said that you have to pay $ 15 per night and offered to change the building with a double bed to 89. The room seemed to be 3x3 m in size and without a balcony. The next one was offered in building 86. It turned out to be similar to ours, but smaller. The third in the 50 building. Ground floor, double and single beds and. . . no advantage over our number. Is it worth changing, but you also need to thank. We decided to finish this and not change the awl for soap. But if desired, at the reception, the rooms are changed without problems. But, as it turned out later, we were destined to move. A couple of days later the refrigerator broke down, and we were offered to change the room. And, of course, no extra charges. Building 50, second floor, No. 5139. We went to see it, we liked it. I read that dirt, old furniture. To be honest, I do not come to audit the number of rooms. We were satisfied. On the balcony of the chair, my husband and I sat in the evenings, drinking cognac, bought in dutu ftee, and enjoyed the rest. Well, if someone wants to crawl under tables, beds and sinks in search of flaws, well, let him climb, and we came to rest. In the room you can order a tea and coffee set (free of charge). They bring 4 bags of tea and instant coffee and an electric kettle for the whole holiday. And, if you can still take tea bags in any bar and restaurant, then there are no coffee bags anywhere. In bars and restaurant only with the apparatus is very weak. And in the bar you can take $ 3 for a cup. GUIDES. In the morning meeting with the guide. Know Mina. But he is in charge, and basically all issues are decided by his deputies. And the whole meeting was based on persuasion to go on excursions. Allegedly, you need to bring passports, a return ticket, insurance, a voucher and a completed paper given by them, in which you must specify all the data of tourists and a list of excursions that you are going on. These documents are supposedly needed for registration with the police! But this is all a FULL BLUFF! We already have registration - at the hotel! No one needs a paper ticket either - they have all our data in the computer in the Odeon. And they say about insurance that it is not valid when traveling not through guides, but this is also a lie. The insurance covers the entire duration of our holiday. All this is done in order to talk us into taking excursions from them, i. e. , much more expensive than on the beach or in other agencies. When we refused after lengthy persuasion, they gave us all the documents with the words - see information about the departure at the stand. So tickets, and passports, and insurance, as it turned out, are not needed. And yet, they simply asked to sign a piece of paper, where you need to write excursions. Don't hesitate to sign anything! It is not yet known what they will write there. Simply, if you don't want to go anywhere, turn around and leave. Enjoy your vacation and don't waste time arguing with boors. For a long time we have not taken anything through guides at all, and even more so through the Odeon. All questions about the hotel are solved by girls gerlrelation that sit to the right of the reception on the ground floor. And yet, we asked about the SPA in the hotel and they answered that the hotel does not have it and you need to take ONLY from them. And it turned out that the hotel has a spa. So, draw your own conclusions. FOOD. Yes, they write correctly, it does not differ in variety, but what to do. I could in the morning, because they fry right in the hall, but there is no hood. The Germans called the manager and were indignant. The next day they moved all the smoke to the street. Cutlery and plates were clean, glasses were not very clean. . But the tables were cleaned quickly, the tablecloths were clean. The guys are trying. You can eat in the hall or on the street. If you didn’t have time for the first scoop, then it’s better to wait 20-30 minutes, the people at the tables with food will subside, and the number will not change. Well, with food now everywhere has become worse. Upon arrival, we ate at the restaurant on the first floor, and then they closed it for repairs and everyone moved to the restaurant on the second floor. It is much larger, there is enough space for everyone. And the buffet is more comfortable than on the first floor. BEACH. Large, well-groomed, enough space for everyone. The wind blew for several days, but on the beach, each umbrella with trestle beds has a wind barrier. The sea is clean. A little deeper there are corals. On the left at the end of our beach there is a pier for boats. They do not dirty the sea, but sometimes there is a smell of gasoline. Animation on the beach is good. AQUAPARK. One word - great! The water park is very beautiful. If you want to dine there, then give coupons. Water is supplied to the slides from 10-12.13-17. Lunch from 12.30. Children's slides are good. Heated 2 adults and all children's pools. And the water was very warm. . Well, there are kiosks in the hotel itself. MASSAGE in the SPA salon of the hotel. We went to the SPA for a hammam, bargained for two for $ 30 for 1.5 hours. Adam speaks good Russian there. And I went for a Cleopatra massage for $40. Made by Gigi. I liked everything very much. We used to go to Hurghada (not through guides) and here we liked the hotel more. Especially the massage. By the end of the holiday I went for a manicure and a mask ($15). The next day, Adam came up to ask how he liked it. And... as a gift he gave another mask! That's how lucky I am! POOLS and SPORT. There are two heated ones: for children on the street and a large one in the SPA salon (free of charge). There is also a gym and a lot of equipment. ATVs. It was my husband's wish. It seems that we have already gone more than once, but Misha, who always stands at the entrance to the reception, praised it so much that they decided to go ($30 for 2 hours). And they didn't regret it. Departure from the hotel, drove through the desert, went to the sea, high cliff and such views!! ! And they were chasing through the desert! Speed ​ ​ up to 65, and on asphalt 70!! ! I got a lot of pleasure. Before leaving, our girlfriend Alina started working for him. But Misha himself speaks Russian well. Some of the tourists who had already traveled from the guide through the desert for a higher price, once again traveled with Misha. And everyone is delighted. With a guide, the speed is 45-50 km, a crowd of people and a transfer to motorcycles by bus, which takes a lot of time. And then there were 8-10 people. The departure was at 15.10, we left the hotel at 11.40. We went to a candy store. Well, the prices!! ! 2 and 3 times more expensive than hotel rooms. So take everything in advance. The plane took off on time, the airline MetroJet. The plane was an Airbus 321. Very comfortable. Not like the Boeing 757 we flew there. There was a small distance between the seats. People didn't even recline their seats. Outcome. Of the minuses for us and many, this is the lack of free wi-fi, and taking one hour for $ 5 is a bit strange. And so, we are satisfied with the rest in general.
