Tour bought in Beach Albatross. They announced its opening on February 4, but on our date it never opened. A replacement was offered to choose from: Modern or Aqua Blue. Since this time we were traveling without children, two ladies naturally chose to replace Modern. But a few hours before departure, the hotel did not confirm availability (hit the stop) and we had to fly to Aqua Blue already.
The flight from Azur was excellent. Departure at 6 am, and by 12 were at the hotel.
They put on bracelets, offered to go to dinner, and then check in. The room got a good one, on the ground floor 3206. Near the restaurant, bar, swimming pool. Triple room even though there were two of us. 10 points for room and location.
Food. Compared to our last hotel, which we visited, Albatros Citadel, the choice of dishes is noticeably less. There aren't many cocktails that are made in the Citadel. But don't forget that Aqua Blue is -4*.

The food is delicious, the stomachs did not hurt. On February 14 there were shrimp (no taste), strawberries were not enough. But outside the territory it can be bought for 1dol. There is always fish, sometimes several species. I love steamed vegetables, fresh tomatoes and fish. All this was, so, as for me, I was satisfied.
The bars have ice cream. Beer and white wine - not bad at all.
For food - 8 points.
Beach. I didn’t even consider the second line, but it just so happened : ( Buses go to the beach from 8 am to 5 pm. Sometimes often, sometimes you have to sit and wait. The fact that the sea is not nearby is a fat minus. , you can walk through the not opened Beach. So faster and the views from the top of the bay are awesome!
We were located on the beach away from the bar. There are fewer people there. After the opening of Beach Beach, they only went to places where they didn’t shout over their heads. Sunset in the sea is good, the sea was 24 degrees, sometimes warmer than the air. Nearby is an island with corals (remains) and baited fish scurry around it. There is nothing to watch. If you go left, behind a plastic pontoon, there is a wild beach. For 1 dollar you will be let through and allowed to be on it all day. But there are no awnings, bars and sun loungers. We came in the morning, swam, then went to our beach. We agreed with the guys who take the money that we would come again after lunch.
The reef is not bad, it is not scary to swim over it, there is no strong depth right away. This is super for me. You can swim both to the right and to the left. There are not many fish, probably due to the fact that it is winter.
The bar on the beach took only beer and wine. No mojito : ( We didn’t stay for a snack at lunch. After 14 there was ice cream.
Near the bar, the sun loungers are all busy, there are few umbrellas, there are a lot of people. I would not recommend staying here.
For the beach I will put 8 balls. BUT! If you go away from the bar, to Beach Albatross.
Gorki. Now, if you go with children, I think they will appreciate the water park. Well, I rolled down a couple of slides... and that's it. But there are many and they are interesting.
We didn't go to animation. She is. Evening shows every evening. We also saw yoga classes and animation on the beach.

After dinner we went for a walk outside the hotel. The location is excellent. We walked along El Mercato, in the Old Town. We went and looked at Minced meat, Sensatorini (a cafe in Faraan Reef). In the evening they are beautifully illuminated.
If you want to buy something, you don't have to go anywhere. Near 5 * there are shopping arcades. Prices are even cheaper than in the old town. I bought myself a suitcase, compared prices and bought nearby, because. the old town was more expensive.
Nearby there is a Mango market with fixed prices. Next to it is a pharmacy. Most importantly, look at the price on the package, because they like to round in their favor if you pay in dollars. More convenient card, in pounds.
On the first day we went to George Clooney, ordering a free transfer. Wasted time. It feels like I got to the Troeshchensky market or the red market. Wasted time. Everything that is there, you can buy everywhere nearby for the same money. To leave for the hotel, we waited for more than two hours. I don't understand what's going on there : )
We personally liked the staff at the hotel. No one begs for money, if you ask, they respond quickly.
For service - 10 points.
The hotel is good, like all hotels of this chain. If you do not look for cons, then the rest will be great. Even despite the bad weather, and that almost 3 days of rest were left without the sea, I think that we had a rest for 10 points. Especially when you consider that at that time in Kyiv it was -25-20.
Would I recommend this hotel - definitely YES! Especially if you are with kids.
