I decided to leave a detailed review, because I myself used similar reviews when choosing a vacation.
Aqua Blue is not on the first line, the distance to the sea is 500 meters, 7 minutes on foot, buses run every half hour, that is, it does not bother. I persuaded my wife to go to the sea only on the 3rd day, the first 2 days we swam in the water park and swam in the pools, of which there are really a lot (find a photo on the Internet). The territory is huge, very beautiful and well-groomed, accommodates a full-fledged water park. If there are not enough slides of your own, then you can go to the territory of Albatros Aqua Park (the same owner) for free, there are even more slides. The rooms are also pleased with cleanliness and expensive repairs. That is, everything is flawless in the territory.
The food is ambiguous. Products such as sausages, hard cheeses and juices are of poor quality, made of no one knows what. The main dishes are represented by several types of chicken, beef and fish (they do not eat pork). These dishes are normal, they change regularly, it is felt that the chefs are trying. Side dishes are represented by at least three types of potatoes (fries, mashed potatoes, baked), several types of rice and something else local. Also, it seems, there are no complaints, but the problem is that our women try “a little bit of everything” already on the first day, that is, on the third day they are already tired of it all. I ask my wife, what does she want? And she herself does not know, but it is already tired. The same applies to salads, they are represented by all kinds of vegetables that are only found in our country, but cut into different plates. Everything seems to be fine, but our women like to mix tomatoes, olives, feta and call it all “Greek salad”. If olives and tomatoes are on different plates, and even the same every day, then we are bored and not interested. In short, the cuisine is decent, satisfying, but not at the level of a restaurant, rather a good dining room.

There are no complaints about the service, everything is clean, tidy, no one asks for a tip (but does not refuse either).
The evening show program is focused more on children - a children's disco every day. For adults, they also show something, but it’s rather weak, don’t count on dancing. Help free alcoholic cocktails, which carry in unlimited quantities. A couple or three of cocktails turns any dull show into a celebration. That is, a solid 4 by 5 point system.
The beach is sandy, there are a couple of reefs with fish, but not a lot, but the sand and going to the depth is not far. Reef lovers can walk 300 meters to the neighboring beach, there are solid reefs. For me personally, there were enough fish on our beach - of all colors and sizes. Pleased with the waiters carrying free beer. After Odessa beaches, this is generally hard to believe. All alcohol, of course, is local, so if you are a connoisseur, then you better watch tours around Europe. My wife and I have never had a headache.
In conclusion, Aqua Blue is in fact a 5 star hotel for the price of a 4 star hotel. We were at the beginning of April 2019 and had a lot of fun. But! The optimal tour for my wife and I is 7 days, no more. Wherever you go, the Arabs hang around your neck in an attempt to sell something, their prayers over the loudspeaker several times a day so that every Bedouin in the desert can hear, this oriental music howling to the tune - it's just around. In short, we were happy to go home.
P. S. In front of my eyes, a woman was picking up tea bags in a restaurant, she had already taken more than 10 when the administrator intervened. When he asked what was happening here, she calmly replied that she wanted to drink tea in the room. It was embarrassing. The same applies to drinks that our fellow citizens collect in a restaurant in plastic bottles. Gentlemen, cola, etc. are handed out in every bar, including on the beach for free and in unlimited quantities. Respect yourself, do not show that we have escaped from a poor country and are hungry for all this.
