So, I will write a review based on the criteria that I did not find in other reviews) The purpose of the trip was the same: relaxation and the sea.
Sea/beach: honestly, I was very glad that I chose this hotel, because it has its own small lagoon with more or less depth, you could swim/snorkel in the sea. During the week, in open water from the pier, I managed to dive 2 times (and that was lucky, because they were guarding the flag) for 20 minutes. Then they kicked us out because of the storm. The wind was constant. The lagoon is full of fish, there are corals, but they are colorless and boring. If you are after snorkeling, this is not the place for you. The water is warm. Due to the constant waves, the water was rushing in and by 15 there was enough of it (somewhere up to the shoulders). The low tide was in the afternoon. In short, if you want to splash around, swim, even play a little with a mask - it's fine. Corals are a must, because the bottom is sharp. Stones, corals, hedgehogs in burrows. I was lucky not to get into trouble by stepping on someone, because at first I went barefoot (I'm not afraid of an uneven bottom), but my legs were heavy, so corals! In general, I swam, and that was the main thing)) Oh, and one more thing! - because of the storm, tourists from the neighboring Jaz Grand came to our beach and brazenly took up sunbeds) they don't have lagoons at all! There were "outages" with sunbeds. This is actually prohibited, but the staff didn't pay attention.
Pools: 3.2 small (1 with a bar) + 1 more or less large for "swimming" completely for adults. There is no music, silence, children are not allowed. Relaxation zone (it's cool)

Territory: I liked the compactness (!! ), (you won't walk around) and intimacy. Very colorful. Well-groomed. There are hills, a quiet private beach area where no one bothers you at all, the upper area on the hill and a public beach. What I didn't like: too many service managers, constantly like flies (but on the main beach near the lagoon). But you have access to the huge territory of the Jaz Madinat for walking, running. You can't walk there! ) I chose reef for an affordable price, and you can use the space of all hotels (but not bars).
Rooms: yes, there is sadness (old, small). SHOCK- hairdryer!??? ? , it works for 20 seconds and then cuts out for a pause) to dry or style your hair, you have to do 4-5 approaches. crazy, scary. there is shampoo, gel, body lotion. In dispensers (no mini-sets for you)). There is no hair conditioner! I took it with me. They cleaned every day. Bar in the room: coffee, tea, sugar, kettle, water (2 bottles of 1.5 l) - free of charge. Attention! everything in the fridge and chips/snacks (juices, beer, lemonades... ) for a separate fee! expensive.
Spa: yes. massage 60 euros. Didn't ask for anything else
Food: Again a strange thing! You can be hungry! because there are times when you simply won't be able to eat if you don't make it during the restaurant's opening hours! ! the beach bar opens at 12.30, and the restaurant closes at 10 am (breakfast). Overslept - walked hungry ((. The same during the day. The snack bar closes at 4:30 p. m. (restaurant 1-4 p. m. ), and dinner at 7 p. m. This is the first time I've seen this on all and was shocked (there is nowhere else to eat, a snack too. 1 restaurant, 1 snack bar (By the way, there is no a la carte. They fed deliciously, variedly. Meat (chicken, beef), fish, seafood. Delicious pastries, fruit. No complaints here.
Staff: DUSHKI)) very caring and polite. On the day of departure (our transfer was at 4 p. m. ), after checking in, they left the bracelets, fed them, and gave them a chance to rest. Luggage was stored in a special room.
Tourists: Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, a few Italians. There are almost no Russians (there was 1 loud nesting doll, but...??? ? her ignored, which drove them to madness)). Basically, these are those who made their way to Mars under the guise of "Germans". Calmly and civilized)

Ask if you have any questions, I'll answer) Oh, and there's a supermarket nearby where you can buy whatever you want. Walking distance. Mangoes are $5/cup, but you have to be careful because they cheat with weight)) I bargained for 4). The guide also bargains with all sorts of things) Such a great review came out, but I wanted to tell you everything that worried me before choosing. Will I come back here? - I don't know. Unless there's a big promotion))
Oh, and the road is hard. We drove from Dnipro to Odessa by car, spent the night, in the morning we took a bus to Chisinau, check-in is long. And from the airport - our hotel was the second, we got there very quickly
