Pros: Good food, clean water, nice beach, friendly staff, good service, live music, karaoke.
Cons: It seems that the animators came from the street and have no theatrical training. The jokes are flat, turning into vulgarity, there is plagiarism all around, the dance is not staged. They work on the principle - the day has passed and to hell with it. No creativity. The first time we went from the tour operator PEGAS TOURISTIK. I do not recommend this carrier. Representatives of this tour operator, Nadezhda, Nina and Aida, who are in the hotel, are only engaged in extorting money for local tours, you will not get any useful information from them. So, at the first meeting, they tried to intimidate us with lawlessness in the Old City. Like, there are drugs, weapons, bandits, etc. , etc. Lie! The old city is a big bazaar for visitors. The entrances are guarded by the police and the military. Tourists are brought there from other hotels for shopping. Arabs are friendly to Russians, because this is their bread. The only thing is that they stick at every shop. One way to get rid of it is to say that there is no money : ). And if you buy, then they will give you tea and talk to you on various topics. Everyone understands Russian. Why the girls from Pegasus are lying, we understood in the Old City. For example, a trip to Israel from Pegasus costs 200 dollars, while in the Old City it costs only 70-90. They travel in the same bus. The only warning is to pay money only when boarding the bus, no prepayment.
A warning:

1. It is recommended to go outside the hotel accompanied by a man and no short skirts. Still a Muslim country
2. You can only drink bottled water, wine and watermelons : ) if you don't want to spend time in the toilets. In coffee machines, water is not boiled, but only heated, in coolers it is also rubbish. Checked on myself. If we go again, we will take a kettle with us.
3. Take your diarrhea medication with you. What suits whom, consult a doctor.
4. Take out insurance without deductible. The local doctor will always help for free.
5. Sunbathing from 11.00 to 14.00 is not recommended, you will definitely burn out even in the shade.
If you know all the nuances, then it will be pleasant to relax. Good luck.
