We arrived at the hotel around 21.00, at the reception we were met by a friendly guy who immediately offered a room with a sea view, Wi-Fi and other goodies for a lot of euros per person, we refused and asked for a regular quiet room, which he provided us with no problems. Although dinner was long over, we were fed a full dinner in the main restaurant.
Location. The hotel itself is located in the middle of the desert. That is, to go out and walk along the promenade, buy souvenirs, go to a disco outside the hotel is not an option. Excursions, too, or those offered by the guide, or those offered by the hotel. There is no competition here.
Animation. They have a program for every evening according to the standard, everything ends around 21.30-22.00. In the afternoon, too, as elsewhere, yoga, stretching, darts, etc. What I liked, the music in the hotel is unobtrusive, it does not play loudly, either during the day at the pool or in the restaurant in the evening. I don’t know what requirements should be for animation, but everything suited us)

Rooms. The furniture may be a little shabby, but the beds are comfortable, the room is clean, there is no mold in the bathroom, the towels are white. Cleaning in the room every day, but if for a dollar, then they will do it with love))
Staff. Most of the staff speaks English. But there is always a Google translator that will help you out. Among the animators there are also Russian speakers) All the employees are polite, pleasant, even the cleaners wish you a good day. In general, the staff is more focused on tourists from Europe, and not from Ukraine and Russia, this is felt and it's great.
Food. Divinely delicious! Although not always varied, breakfasts with one assortment are always, but delicious)) for lunch, there is always fish (or seafood) and meat cooked differently every day, a lot of vegetables, both fresh and stewed and steamed. For dinner, something on the grill meat / fish / liver (everything is very tasty) and something stewed / and something fried / baked on the grill. For dinner there were whole oranges, tangerines, guava - delicious, ripe, and not as usual green, in pieces. The child also has something to feed.
Sea. The corals are magnificent, you need to walk 700 meters along the pontoon to get to them. Few fish were seen because there were often waves. But according to the stories of others, there are also many of them. The beach is sandy, shallow on the shore, excellent with children, next to each umbrella there are dampers from the wind.
The hotel area is large, well-groomed, despite the coronavirus. One swimming pool with slides and heated paddling pool for children.
Of the minuses: paid Wi-Fi, paid bottled water in the room (provided only upon arrival once for free, then buy at the bar. Or quietly dial in the cooler)) dirty highchairs for feeding, although they wipe them, right in front of you, but they need to be thoroughly washed, but it is better to replace them. Because they are very greasy, it’s not even pleasant to take them in your hands, not to mention putting a child in.
Strong wind. Almost always. Well the hotel is in a windy place, that's no secret. In summer, the wind is salvation, and in winter, in spring it is very annoying, but you just need to be prepared for this)
