Vacation experience is excellent. Firstly, from winter we got into summer, and secondly, the hotel was very surprised. After reading the reviews, I was prepared for the worst, but here everything is very good. Of course, you can find something to complain about, but for picky people there is a direct road to RIXOS.
So, let's begin
1) very friendly and "not stressful" staff. Everyone smiles and asks if everything is ok. Administrators Julia and Dasha always answer questions, help and suggest.
2) the room was cleaned daily, towels changed daily, water was also brought to the room every day, gel and shampoo were replenished constantly.
3) the room is spacious and bright, with a balcony.
4) the bath is clean white. True, the taps are a little beaten off, but they are working.
5) The restaurant can hardly accommodate all the hotel guests at the same time. During our stay, the hotel was only 40% full, so you could always find a free table.

6) The food is simple, without any frills, but tasty, there is plenty to choose from.
The most superb dish was ice cream in batter. This is a meal! It is a pity that we were treated to such yummy only 1 time. The potatoes were not always cooked, or they just have such strange varieties. Very tasty cooked fish (she was constantly), delicious rice. From fruits there were melon, pomegranates, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, dates, some strawberries. There were often fruit salads. There were a lot of delicious sweets for dessert. The first courses (soups) were always for lunch, but not always clear to me (some are too Egyptian : )).
7) The beach is large, with new comfortable sunbeds. Unfortunately, there were no wind barriers, but we could fence ourselves with sunbeds, that was enough for us. The entrance to the sea is possible from the beach, you walk along the sand for a long, long time and you don’t see the depth, you managed to go in up to your knees at the most : ) It’s very cool for kids. At low tide, you can watch starfish, shells, and many different small living creatures whose names I don’t know : ). Slippers to enter the water from the beach are not required, very nice sand under your feet.
8) A long pantone will lead to a place where the depth is up to the chest (at the moments of the tide up to the neck). The water is clear, at the bottom there is sand with stones and some corals. You won't see much fish from Pantone. Very weak with corals : (
9) You can see the fish only if you sail somewhere yourself or by boat ($ 10 per person), to the left of the pantone there are small corals, sometimes a couple of fish swim here, and if you sail forward from the pantone to a distant buoy, there seem to be more corals but I didn't get there.

10) Animation in the hotel is not very stressful. In the afternoon, volleyball and bocce games were arranged on the beach. There was a Color Party, when they sprinkled themselves with colorful flour and danced. Yoga and bochata daily. At dinner, they were always invited to evening shows. The coolest thing was when they invited a violinist, he played very beautifully : )
Our stay was very easy, pleasant and relaxed. We got a good tan and had a swim.
I wish you a positive holiday too!
