ожидание - реальность expectation is reality

Rested from 26.05 - 03.06.
The first point in choosing a hotel was a sandy beach, as we flew with children. We didn’t read the reviews, videos and reviews especially - but in vain . . We bought the tour in advance for the money, so we lost it - because it would have been cheaper before the flight.
Our trip was spoiled immediately upon arrival at the airport, since all the filling in of documents, the passage of controls - everything was at a gallop, we, with 2 children, a stroller and things, could hardly keep up with the last. There is no wi-fi in the hotel, so we immediately decided to buy a SIM card at the airport. But the guide did not let us do this, pushing us onto the bus, which supposedly would leave now, and LIE that you could easily buy it at the hotel.
Upon arrival, for $ 10 we were settled in a room. Most likely, these are the most popular buildings, next to the issuance of towels and the central pool, as they write a lot about them in the reviews.

- The room doesn't look bad, but it's very rundown. . It creates a contrast between the marble countertops on the cabinet and under the washbasin - and the dirty, rusty toilet bowl. Our shower was broken, it just didn’t have a turn-on handle, but a plug stuck out on which it, the handle, was supposed to hold on. The water is summer, if it is normal for an adult - we bathed the child with a frantic cry. After that, the daughter never once wanted to go into the pool, and she did not come closer than a meter to the sea.
Cleaning the room every day, changed bedding (on request) and towels. Our room was supposed to be 3 + 1, in fact - 2 single beds, which were moved into one and a folding bed - we hardly slept on this miracle of technology, four of us huddled on 1 bed.
- Nutrition. The restaurant is located one level above the pools and buildings, so every time we passed the marathon, climbing the stairs (if with a stroller, then doubly "convenient").
In the early days we had a very limited menu. Probably because there were few tourists. Upon the arrival of people, after 3 days, more or less diversity began. Food without frills, the same type. For children - sadness. There is nothing to eat besides pure rice and chicken. Once there was vegetable puree soup, without pepper and salt (which is super, we salted it), my daughter ate it with pleasure, and on the second day they gave soup with spices, I wanted to eat the child, but alas. We took with us (just in case) cereals, fruit purees, yogurts - that's basically what we fed our daughter with. Lots of rolls, sometimes there were delicious sweets and fresh fruit.
- The sea is great. Transparent water, sandy beach, there are sun loungers with umbrellas, but they are far from the water. Sitting in the shade, I did not see how my husband was swimming with his daughter, since the sea seemed to be a little lower, and the sunset was not visible because of the sandy hill. Ride the bus for about 7 minutes, walk on foot - this is if without children, as you need to bypass the fence, and this is about 20 minutes, heat, sand and the visible sea in the distance, like a mirage . . ))))
- Animation - you should not expect good and exciting, as young guys animators play the same music, the same dances and there is so little time that at 21.30 we already calmly put the children to bed)

- A lot of mosquitoes. Really a lot. It would be nice to attach a couple of photos of the bitten legs of me and a 1.5-year-old child with red spots, over which I sat for half the night and thought in horror what to do with it . . But I won’t show the photo, I hope we had it just such a reaction. Our fumigator did not take them, 2 types of pshikalki also did not help much. I read somewhere that they recommend buying their mosquito plates... We sat in the evenings on the balcony waving our arms and jerking our legs all the time)))
- Theft. So brazenly steal a mobile phone, in front of the entire bus, can only be a very risky driver. 2 days of nerves and scandals, endless trips to the reception and conversations with the head of security, managers, and even the owner of the hotel, threats to call the police - gave the result. The phone was thrown in a very pale way, broken and without a case. They wanted to pull out a SIM card, but apparently not everyone there knows that in normal modern phones it has long been gone under the battery . . )) Now we are repairing, for 1000 UAH - we will remember for a long time)
- The Internet with their SIM card is mostly just for instant messengers. The rest eats megabytes and is not enough for 7 days of use. We turned on cartoons a couple of times, as a result - after 2 days we had to replenish the card. Internet speed is good, even better than sometimes in the Kiev region)))
- Excursions - the hotel is expensive to take. We went to Soho Square by taxi, $10 round trip. Move on to the Old City. There are their local minibuses, $ 1 for two, but the trip there will be long. The hotel still offers the boy his excursions, my husband went on ATVs - I liked it. But be sure to take water with you and a scarf over your face. They sell it locally, it's expensive.
The overall impression can be said to be good, we went to the sea))), but due to a number of nuances, we will not recommend this hotel to anyone. It does not justify its cost.
