The hotel is a bit abandoned and empty, but architecturally beautiful - interesting architecture and a cascade of pools. There were very few people on our vacation (but we were glad) up to 70 people vacationing, some of which were Arabs. It is located territorially near the reserve, on the outskirts.
60% of the staff speaks English, 30% know basic Russian words and phrases, and the rest communicate only for a moment (although they may understand, but they are not recognized).
There is no animation as such (we felt good, but many complained that they were bored) - once there was a fire show (the guys performed very beautifully and for a long time) and one evening belly dance (so-so), a couple of times those who wished were taken to the old city to a disco (I don't know the details).
Wi-Fi in the hotel is paid (those who bought it complained that there was no connection anyway)
The room - the safe worked and was even nailed to the closet with screws)))) air conditioning worked only in the cold (there was no temperature control). It is better not to open the windows in the evening - mosquitoes will bite (or bring funds from them with you). The beds are comfortable. Plumbing in a dead state, but for the morning and evening procedures, its condition was enough for us. Towels were changed every day (we didn't even ask), beds were made, wet cleaning was done twice.
Main restaurant - breakfast (07:30-10:00), lunch (13:00-15:00), dinner (19:00 - 21:00) - buffet. The food is normal. Nobody left hungry, there was always something to eat (everything was fresh, everything was digested perfectly).
Drinking water - they did not give out bottles - we had our own empty, liter ones and we could easily collect either in a restaurant in a cooler, or at a pool bar in a cooler.
Pool bar - beer is always from the fridge and available, well, other alcoholic drinks (rum, gin, tequila, etc. ) - disposable cups
A free scheduled shuttle runs to the beach - from 9.00 to 17.00 (every half hour-hour). We went partly on foot (we have been at the sea since 5 am), partly used the transfer service (breakfast and lunch). If you go on foot, then it takes about 10 minutes (if you walk very slowly, then 15 minutes)....about 1 km distance.
There is no road from the hotel as such... you need to leave the beach area (behind the blue booth where the towels are, there is a path between the bushes - there is usually a security guard and the hotel bus), cross the main road and get off to the secondary one, which leads to the right... walk 200 meters and near the post (a hut with a table and a bench) turn right and walk along a deserted sandy wasteland.
The sea is a slightly sloping entry, chic (spacious, sandy), the beach is huge. If you walk 300 meters to the left, then the municipal beach begins there, and behind it begins the territory of the reserve and the reef (the reef is not impressed, the corals are tired), which you need to get to only in slippers. If you walk to the right 500 meters - the territory of another hotel (we didn’t like their beach... a sharp descent into the water, part of the beach from the shore begins with coral (killed) with algae and naturally with "living creatures".
On our beach there are toilets (bio type) and there is a shower outside. No changing rooms
We are not picky and try to look for positive moments - we were satisfied with the rest - few people, no one bothered, the sea is gorgeous, the food is delicious, there is a comfortable place to spend the night)) but if you like a "hotel" vacation - you are definitely not here, you will be disappointed)
