Своих денег стоит или как найти утюг. Worth your money or how to find an iron.

Let's go on a "burning" ticket from Join Up. The price of the ticket was simply pleasing, so there was an immediate understanding that there would be pitfalls.
So let's start with the flight...
Airline Bravo.
There it was something, an old MD-80, no legroom! From the word in general, that is, you can go in and sit down, and then in one position, your knees rest against your neighbor in front, the backs of the seats do not fall at all. Reminds me of a minibus-alteration from Berdichev ...
The rumble and vibration of the engines are all in the cabin, from the 15th row and further to the tail.
We must pay tribute to the crew (takeoff and landing with a strong crosswind at the highest level), flight attendants and stewards (politeness, level of service). The place for the staff killed: a folding bench in the tail between the toilet doors, which the steward caught when opening, so that his knees would not be beaten off.

Back is the same MD-80, but after the reconstruction you can see new comfortable chairs, more legroom at times.
Transfer without complaints, if you do not listen to the accompanying guide.
As for the hotel, we had Aqua, she is Cascada. Number: 5037, first floor with a second exit through a balcony. Cool even without air conditioning all day.
It’s old, the gloss is all gone, traces of finishing touches and repairs are noticeable a la “hands out of the priests” (it’s greased there, glued there, etc. ), but everything works, including air conditioning, but we didn’t turn it on. As the wife said:
whoever has not been to Lazurny, let him find fault, but everything suits me.
Yes, and they didn’t come to sit in the room, the beds are comfortable, large, a safe, a TV set is the dream of a Soviet person in the early 90s TOSHIBA 19 INCHES : ))) from channels 1 + 1, Tet and 2 + 2.
The phone near the toilet can soon be considered the hallmark of the hotel, even the staff smiles openly from it: when I asked why the porter sat on the toilet, picked up the phone and said: "everything is working, call the room service, call the manager, call the clog, call no water "At the same time, he smiled as if I had given him 100 bucks for a tip (sorry forgot to take a picture). When it comes to cleaning with tips, I didn’t notice any difference, it seems that the staff, like a robot, performs a program strictly laid down in it and neither to the right nor to the left.
Before the trip, I asked for an iron, so I’ll answer myself: there is one, but finding and taking it is another quest. there is also ironing, but I did not pass this highest level.
How to pass the first level:
1. we sit down to the phone and dial the room service (No. 41),
2. there you are sent to the Cascade reception, (No. 55 if I'm not mistaken)
3. the reception calls another number (5541),
4. we type, we hear Arabic speech, without inclusions of English or Russian,
5.

we spit on everything, and go to the reception, they smile sweetly at you, they are very surprised that there is no iron in the room (literally: "what is it in the room? ) and they promise to bring the required in 15 minutes.
6. We go next to the bar "van beer in glass please" and we are ready for non-standard turns: ))).
7. we return, we catch any Arab in white (these are room servicemen) and in the dialect of Ukrainian Russian English (I need an iron they don’t understand, I need an iron too), using active articulation and non-standard methods of verbal communication (remember point 6) we explain to him that you need (a dollar or two is welcome).
8. we stand exactly at the place where the serviceman started and after 2 minutes the iron (not bad enough) is with you.
It is not necessary to return (for three days no one took it away during cleaning, and didn’t even try, they left), so don’t thank the next guest of room 5037 : )))
If you want things to be ironed for a fee: repeat steps 1-5, paragraph 6 - 2 times with a break to realize that in the Arab world you are a grain of sand in a vast desert, forget (and) be on "stroked for a fee" and then repeat steps 7 -8 (optional p. 6). or go to room 5037 and ask them for an iron, it is already there.
Now seriously. The first two days the hotel was full of Arabs, this is something, the hubbub is everywhere, the children who pick flowers and scatter them in the pools, cups, papers in the sea and along the beach, etc. As soon as this guard left, it became somehow quiet and calmly already boring, it is worth paying tribute to the staff, it was immediately cleaned up for fellow believers, the next morning it was as if there was no one.

The water park is excellent for children, the sea-beach is excellent on the right side of the beach, the reef is within walking distance, even for children, take a mask, territory and landscaping for 5.
Maybe only to me all the pools after 13-14 how well they warm up began to smell of bleach.

Nutrition:

This is where I really disagree with the above statements about monotony. All days soups, meat, side dishes changed, there was a certain constant set of dishes, so to speak root (rice, veal in cubes, fish (all fatty varieties such as tilapia), pasta with additives for dinner-lunch, scrambled eggs and scrambled eggs for breakfast, vegetable saute) everything else changed constantly, the quails on the grill surprised me, in general the grill was always chicken in the evening, the quails were excellent, the veal was so-so, very so-so, well, that's for my taste. My menu was definitely not the same.
Vegetable salads - a variety of fruits, melon, apples, dates, orange-mandarin, guava, grapefruit, peaches (2 times), strawberries on the beach 2 dollar tray about 0.5kg.
During the meal, the Arabs amazed more than ours, they really gain everything in a row without missing a single tray of food, two or three plates with a slide on the face plus a plate with a slide of pastries and really leave more than half of this vinaigrette, in fairness it is worth noting that among other vacationers also met "Arabs", but they are a minority.
Alcohol: we do not drink strong alcoholic beverages (the people drank, everyone seems to be alive). It alerted that all strong alcohol in plastic bottles has a label on one side, and a sticker with a handwritten production date on the other. Wine from 5-liter cardboard boxes a la our burnt vodka, tastes like cheap shmurdyak powder (again, to our taste). Beer is not bad either bottled or draft.
Fish restaurant sign up on the first day, you can not get.
I forgot the name of the soup, but the type of cream soup with garlic is delicious, the second is a clean ear with vegetables and two small pieces of fish (nothing). Salad with tuna is good, Salad with seafood is a mixed salad of greens with the addition of crab sticks (looks and tastes) seasoned with KETCHUP! Grilled assortment: only shrimp on the grill, squid in batter (the same in restaurants every day), fish is again fatty, but cooked deliciously. Bottled wine is delicious white, red did not try.
Animation Entertainment Child children's discos liked (5 years old), no senior (11 years old). There is a children's club and it works, mine didn't go.
Adult animation did not get accustomed, but dances, volleyball, water polo saw.

To sum it up: the room and the staff of the rooms are 4 stars.
territory and its cleanliness with Arabs 3, without Arabs 5 stars.
Water park 5 (just right for kids) with a crowd of 3 Arabs.
beach, sea 4.5 (minus for the proximity of the pier with yachts and

periodic smell of solarium from them.
food 5.
Total from children 5*, from parents 4*
If you look through the prism of the Azure, Iron port
or Zatoki 7 stars: )))
Recommend to parents with children as adequate value for money.
Bottom line, if the price for autumn does not jump up to the rest, I will fly one more time, or maybe two, to room 5037 Aqua. We need to check how the iron is there.
