We rested at the Grand rotana hotel from January 13 to January 22.2014. Family with two children aged 5 and 4 months.
HOTEL and room. The agency bought a room category standard. The hotel changed it to the best one (I don’t remember the category, but it is in the 6th building). We paid extra $ 25 for each day plus - a small bonus to the accompanying staff for their help, so to speak.
The room is modest but clean. Plumbing is a bit old, furniture is a bit old, repairs are a bit old - but this is, if you find fault. These things do not affect the quality of rest. It's important for me to keep it clean. Cleaned up well. But here on the balcony the sofa is stained. Badly. The air conditioner turns on in the room.
We arrived at about 9 am - settled us immediately, did not wait for 14.00. We left at 16.00 - the room was left for us until 15.00, and not until 12.00 as per the rules. On the day of arrival we paid for breakfast, on the day of departure for lunch - in general, it turned out to be about 80 dollars.
It is CONVENIENT to live in the 6th building, because everything is close - a swimming pool, a kids club, a restaurant, a reception, the sea.
NOT CONVENIENT - in the evening you can hear the music from the bar, where after dinner there is an entertainment program. But this is not for long. I think after 10 pm there is silence. The exact time was not recorded, as the children went to bed early.
MOSQUITOES! Arrived in the room on the 4th floor - not lazy? . Maybe they were all over the territory, maybe only with us, because there is a pool (water) nearby - I don’t know. They brought a fumigator, but until the mosquitoes were knocked out manually, they still buzzed and bit.
The hotel is very close to a small market - souvenirs, papyri, oils, teas, local clothes, swimming toys, a supermarket, a pharmacy.
The hotel has a pharmacy, souvenirs, a hairdresser, a bank, an ATM. They forgot the sun cream for the baby - they bought it at the pharmacy - Kliven, protection factor 25, for children, price $ 21 - this is so that you can compare.
In the pharmacy, by the way, there are diapers - I did not ask the price. Available in small packs of 9. The company is Pampers.
The territory is VERY large, green, well-groomed. From the restaurant to the pool, and several buildings - you can go up the stairs, you can take the escalator.
Dear Internet! ! !
NUTRITION. If you are a foodie, this is not for you. We rested according to the all-inclusive program - we went to eat at one restaurant. The ultra all inclusive program offers feeding in three more (in my opinion) restaurants of the guest's choice. We had the opportunity to visit any of the restaurants once, but we did not use it. We were satisfied with the food. Vegetables - fresh and stewed, scrambled eggs, meat, yogurt and salads with yogurt, macaroni and cheese for my son, soups, fruits, cakes - this is our usual menu. It has always been. Few fruits - oranges, bananas, tangerines, grapefruits, dates, melon and agave. Strawberries in the supermarket nearby - one and a half dollars a package (by eye - up to half a kilo).
Breakfast - different scrambled eggs, pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, pudding, sausages, potatoes, a bunch of cereals that are poured with milk, cheese, butter. Soup. Bakery. There were some salads.
Lunch-dinner. From seafood - fried-boiled fish. I saw octopuses in a salad. From meat - lamb, chicken-fried-boiled, beef - fried, stewed, duck. Cutlets, liver. All in all, you can choose. Vegetables are always fresh + salad leaves (arugula and the rest). Vegetables are always boiled. Stews too. Rice, pasta - always. Hummus, ready-made salads. Sweets - oh joy! - Little. A couple of types of cakes, cookies, jelly, fruit salad, soufflé.
There are many products, but sometimes it is difficult to choose, because the cuisine is, to put it mildly, not ours. For example, it would never have occurred to me to build a salad of rice, lentils, fried onions and cinnamon ...I also caught one chicken stuffed with lamb ....But when they prepared a Russian salad (in our opinion, Olivier) - went with a bang! ? Yes!
There are no plates with the name of dishes in Russian?
Alcoholic drinks, according to her husband, are not of the worst quality. Juice from packages. Bottled water.
Ice cream from 15.00 to 17.00. For a snack - all day sandwiches, cookies in bars on the beach and near the pool.
The kids menu is boring. Boiled vegetables, boiled meat or fish, something from soups.
BEACH - a fairy tale. Shady. With comfortable beds. Zoned - that is, many small beaches are obtained, separated by flowering shrubs. There is a beach on the grass, there is on small pebbles, there is on a wooden floor. No one was sitting on anyone's head. Are there hammocks - did our 4 month old daughter sleep in them at lunchtime?
To the sea - two pontoons: concrete and plastic cubes. Near the concrete - on both sides - children's paddling pools - the sea is knee-deep, you can swim, but jellyfish swim here too. Near the second pontoon, in my opinion, there is also a place for children to swim.
If a jellyfish has bitten, in the house where they give out beach towels, they will sprinkle the bite with something and everything will pass.
There are several bars on the beach - drinks, chips, peanuts, coffee from a coffee machine, but natural? toilet, shower, volleyball. The music is unobtrusive. There are beaches where it is not heard. Diving rental.
POOL - big.
Heated for children (depth 60-90 cm). Temperature - just the right time to take a bath? .
Heated - jacuzzi (actually a small pool in which water is pounding from one wall) - 30 degrees. But, deeper than a child.
Slide! Children's happiness! Children are officially prohibited. But with dad you can. Until and himself our 5-year-old son rolled off her. Departure from the slide into the cold pool - but hot - through the side? .
Bar. House with towels. A bunch of sunbeds. Nearby is a kids club. Two tables for ping-pong, billiards, children's football, chess-checkers-backgammon.
CHILDREN - a lot. Different ages. A bunch of yearlings and older.
The restaurant has special chairs for them. Menu - wrote what.
Swimming in the sea can be convenient. There is a kids club. Cartoons-drawing-toys. In general, the son did something in it, but the little ones are not very actively entertained. If it’s a pizza tour, then it’s not to roll the pizza yourself, but to watch how they cook it and eat it later. But in the kids club there is another pool. Sandbox, some climbing frames, two turtles. On the beach there is a playground.
In the evening - children's disco and cartoons.
ENTERTAINMENT - not interested. After dinner - either a magician, then local dances, then a guitarist, saxophonist or singer. Enough. During the day, they called for darts, volleyball and some other activities. But they didn’t pester: let’s go, let’s go. They announced what is planned - do you want to - go? .
