Royal Azur Resort 5 Royal Azur Resort 5

It so happened that in one month we lived in the Azur Resort and in the neighboring hotel Stella Garden (Stella Beach). Therefore, we had the opportunity to evaluate these two hotels in comparison, which I will try to describe. - In Azura, about 90% of Russians. There are about 30% Russians in Stella. - NUMBERS. The size is the same and they clean the rooms perfectly! But there is no renovation in Azura, the furniture is very old and bad, the shower is over the old bathroom, there is no shampoo, the hair dryer is inconvenient in the room, not in the bathroom and there is no brush! How to clean the toilet if, God forbid, I forgot the immodium is incomprehensible. Thank God it didn't work! Everything is new in Stella, the bathroom is shiny, the shower cabin is chic, in short, there are no comments. The balconies in the rooms in Azura are open, that is, you can’t sit, you can’t drink beer, it’s not very convenient. In Stella, each balcony is closed on both sides, which makes being on it cozy and pleasant. Especially when it's windy. - AIR CONDITIONER in Stella's room worked even in February! In Azura did not work at all! Even at the end of March! They promised to turn it on. - BEACH. In Stella there are new modern sunbeds, and in Azura there are old, scary, often broken wooden ones, it’s not clear what. Swimming in Stella is almost impossible, and Azura has a very good entrance to the sea. But you need to understand that it is only 30-50 meters to reach Azura Bay and the problem is solved. - POOLS. Azura has 2 pools. One with sea water, the second warm about 25 degrees. Stella has 13 pools. Including warm 29 degrees (! ), With an artificial wave, children's slides, with all sorts of mountains and bridges, etc. - TERRITORY. Stella is 4 times larger and all is buried in greenery. In Azura, there are just lawns and bushes in places. There are a lot of shops in Stella, and in Azura there are only shops near the reception. - LOBBY. Stella is simply gorgeous! Comfortable sofas, large bar counter, fast service. In Azura, the bar counter is small, there is always a queue of 5 to 10 people. Furniture, especially rattan chairs, are very uncomfortable. There is practically no service. - RESTAURANT, this is generally a separate song. Stella has delicious food, a huge selection. For example, Grilled Quail, etc. There is no restaurant at all in Azura. What is there is called a canteen. One type of meat, mostly it was a type of beef stroganoff, one type of fish, such semi-wet pieces, pieces of grilled chicken, one type of cheese, one type of sausage, well, all sorts of beans, pasta, zucchini, etc. . Melons are cut so finely that it is impossible to eat with a fork. Very often there is no milk in the coffee machine. Dishes are constantly missing. There was a lot of greenery. But my wife said she was not a goat. - LUNCH in Azura takes place only in the canteen located between the beach and the hotel in an open area. The people are as dark as an anthill. Nobody is missing anything. Food must be taken in four different places. In the pavilion, bread and salads, in the second place, for example, chicken, in the third place, fish, in the fourth place, drinks and, finally, if you want tea with cake, you first take tea and then scratch for cake at the other end of the canteen. As many of you, my dear readers, have already guessed, in each of these food outlets you need to stand in a decent queue of 10-15 people. You yourself will not take anything, since there are cooks-distributors and impose something on everyone who asks. This is the only hotel in my life where food containers are placed in front of the customer and in front of the chef. According to the results of measurements, it turned out that during lunch I ate 13 minutes and stood in lines for 27 minutes. Well, in principle, leisurely eating only improves digestion. If suddenly you want to drink tea, it is absolutely necessary to stock up on a thick napkin, since there are no cups at all, and boiling water is poured only into a plastic cup! Be very careful. I just want to add that I am a completely unpretentious person and I don’t attach much importance to the kitchen, but when there really is nothing to eat, even I feel unpleasant. - RESTAURANTS. Azura has 2 restaurants and the food is tasteless. Stella has 5 restaurants. We went both Indian and Lebanese. Delicious. In Lebanese, in general, food is served on such a small cast-iron grill chest inside which coals are burning, so cool and unusual! - In BARS in Azura, red wine is hidden from Russians (! )! They say no, it will be in 30 minutes. 30 minutes later they say the same thing. In general, after Stella there was a feeling as if we had been thrown. In general, I wish you all a pleasant stay and good luck with choosing a hotel!
