I don't even know how to rate this hotel. On the one hand, it’s quite 5 stars, but on the other hand, everything is somehow not finalized.
I rested at the hotel in March 2010, got into it with a friend through the "Fortune" system of the Teztur company. Issue price $ 1140 for two.
As they say, "The theater begins with a hanger", and the hotel, therefore, with the Lobby, so this very hall is a little gloomy and uncomfortable, in general it does not make a pleasant impression. (Maybe I just don't like the Maracan style) There were no problems with the settlement, we arrived at 9-30, after 30-40 minutes we were given bracelets, and at 12 o’clock we were settled in the rooms, they didn’t give money, they gave us a room overlooking the pool in building 5, we didn’t care about the view from the window, t. to. came to watch the fish, not through the window of the room.

The furniture is of course "full vintage" in some places even "antiques", the air conditioner is either on or off, but so that on the machine... in general, we did not agree with him. They clean the room every day, they carry water, once upon arrival, fanta and juice, but we didn’t wait for the figures from the towels, although we left a tip, a trifle of course, but it’s a shame.
The staff is friendly, there is a Russian manager, at the reception the boys speak Russian, and in the bar and who gives towels, in general, you don’t feel the language barrier at all. If something is broken in the room, they fix it very quickly.
The food is quite good and varied, although I would like more fruit. With snacks on the beach and by the pools is really a problem, only buns and then very few and quickly run out. And there were incidents with beer, it disappeared from them by 15 o'clock, but if you yell at them strongly, then it is. "All Inclusive" differs from "Royal All Inclusive" in that with the latest system, alcohol in the Amigo bar is free all night, and with the first one only until 24-00. there are no other differences.
The territory of the hotel is very well-groomed and clean, a large staff of gardeners works from sunrise to sunset and their work is certainly visible. The hotel has 2 pools, the lower one is near the beach, there are mostly people and hydro aerobics is also in it; and the upper one is larger, but for some reason there is only half the water in it, but you can swim there too if you are too lazy to drag yourself to the beach.

The beach at the hotel is large, sandy, clean, there were enough sunbeds for everyone, if you want to take a better place, come early (at 8 o'clock). The reef is beautiful, there are clouds of fish, or rather shoals, different different ones, and also, if you're lucky, you will see a 3-meter moray eel, an awesome sight. But what really annoys is the lack of a pontoon, when we arrived, it was still, albeit in a "rumpled" form, but then it was finally liquidated, pulled ashore, the hotel has another old pontoon, but for some reason it was closed, it was opened only 2 days before our departure, it is a concrete beams laid along the bottom of the reef, because no one has cleaned it for a long time slippery and yet, it does not reach the end of the reef (collapsed once) but It's still better than not having it at all. Conclusion - he was carrying special shoes there, by no means indispensable. You can still walk on the pontoon of a nearby hotel, they let you in without problems, but you can’t sunbathe on their beach.
There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the Old Town at 10-30 and to Noama at 17-00, you need to sign up a day in advance. It’s better to buy everything in the Old Town, where the starting price is lower and another 50%, or even more, are discounted. Slippers for swimming there $ 5, in the hotel $ 15.
Rest in the hotel Russians, Ukrainians. Belarusians, Kazakhs, Georgians, British, Italians, Germans, Czechs, and French
