I had a super rest, after all, I added 14 warm days to our summer! : )
But the hotel has questions - it is not worth the money! (in Egypt for the 5th time, so I can compare). The main feature and at the same time the problem of this hotel is its focus on Russian-speaking tourists (more than 70% of them are there), hence all the remaining features of the hotel. I would call the all-inclusive hotel system a perfect example of how to get vacationers to spend extra money as much as possible. By the way, many regulars of this hotel said that the all-inclusive system has become very curtailed in this hotel, but this was not reflected in the price of the tour.....
I especially liked the following:
- You can get to breakfasts, lunches and dinners only with cards (for the first time I see that there are not enough bracelets), which mark your visit, probably so that you could not come to the same meal twice... : )))

- tea is not included in the all-inclusive system (except for breakfast), it can be seen that it is very expensive there : ))) Although if you think about it, there is a certain logic in this - without sweet tea you won’t eat much, it’s also saving... And buy a cup tea costs 2.5 dollars. USA.....
- the main dishes do not change - chicken, fish stew and beef. There are absolutely no grills, etc. , which is frankly surprising for a 5-ki.....
- for the first time I did not find a free gym in the top 5 - it is only on the territory of the SPA center, where the entrance is paid... : )))
- visiting many interesting places in the Domina complex is also paid - for example, a salt lake, there are no restaurants by prior reservation, only for money, but with a 30% discount for everyone... : ))))), so "+" is still those.... : )))
- the fact that the bar is not replenished is the norm, but the fact that after 18:00 all bars are closed except for one which is located at the other end of the Domina complex. That is, if suddenly after or before dinner you want to have a drink, not to mention a drink... : ), then you have several options - go quickly for 20 minutes (checked....) to this bar, drive 15 minutes. on the taf-taff there, or score on everything and buy at the reception....
At the same time, it cannot be said that the hotel consists of only minuses, there are "+":
- a large beach, which allows you to come at 9 am and find free sunbeds;
- normal rooms, even have a Jacuzzi. . . : );
- very prompt and attentive service;
- magnificent sea and corals.
As a result, I will not go to this hotel again, there are better options.
All that I wrote IMHO, I will not argue with the fans of the hotel.
If my review helps someone, I will be glad, if necessary, I can answer other questions.
