This hotel is a typical reflection of any CIS country with its corruption at its best)
Do you want a nice room overlooking the pool? 10 bucks at the reception, otherwise you will be placed next to the reception and they won’t even wash the floors nearby (typical elderly grandmothers were always interested in where to get a bucket to do it themselves);
Do you want to drink not from small plastic cups? (IMHO, the top of the redneck of this hotel) 5 bucks.
Alcohol from under the counter for 5 bucks a bottle and stuff, stuff, stuff, ready to donate - get a more or less good rest.
Internet at the hotel 4 bucks / 1 d or 11 / week + 4 router for several devices. from vodafone, the speed is good. IMHO, it would be cheaper to take it to the airport. He is not at the reception.
They practically do not speak English at the hotel, and Russian is the second state language there. Tourists only from Ukraine and Arab countries. Quiet, peaceful, family.
I think it is worth mentioning two points.

1) you can be friends with the guide, he solves questions as best he can; there will be no refund for inconvenience, but offers alternative free tours;
2) Departure management is complete trash. We left from there about 14 hours later than expected. On a damn plane, arriving at another airport, and no one in the first 10 hours knew how we could fly away from there! and instead of an apology, the representative of joint apa (not a guide) told on the bus how bad it was that their hashish prices had risen after the revolution. the guide himself, found out the information only an hour before. They desperately need a manager
yes, at the airport, they also mixed up the bags and on the runway, the passengers themselves manually transferred them to another plane! ) Do you think this is crazy? there are photos))
The airport is the best place to donate. assistance in filling out an immigration card? 5 bucks; to pass through the VIP service? 5 bucks, good seat on the plane? well, you understand)))
On the positives:
1) Undoubtedly excellent cuisine, if you forget about plastic glasses;
2) Donat justifies itself, and they directly work for him (that is, there will be no claims at all);
3) Guided safari for 10 bucks - the most divine excursion in several years.
4) Nice guy Misha, about whom they have already written, to the right of the coast on the beach; souvenirs / magnets / arafats - all for 1/2 bucks, and even normal singed polo / lacoste for 3-4 bucks (in Soho this is 10-12).
Would I go there again? No, and the tempting price of 300 bucks will not persuade. But, for a young family that will read everything and take +100 (120) ye per person (for everything at once, including excursions and donations), I think it would be fine.
Beach? There will be no corals, the sea is quite windy on the shore, they preferred the pool (at the end of April the water is excellent).
Corals are for boat trips for 25 bucks + 10 bucks for diving; Quite worth it.
