Great hotel for a relaxing, quiet holiday. And if you get bored, you can always go to Nayama (book seats on the bus from the hotel at the reception) - there is plenty of noise.
The staff is responsive and friendly. Even in the evenings they said "Good morning" : )) Everyone understands and speaks Russian to the best of their ability. And if you smile yourself and don’t be rude, then everything will happen simply and quickly: drinks will be brought for food, etc.
I did not notice a strong different attitude towards Italians and other foreigners. The only thing is that the staff knows Italian and chatted with the residents all the time. But I think if we wanted to get to know the staff, we would be treated the same way.

I saw how a German gave money to a guy working on the beach for bringing a sunbed. The next day, no one fawned over this German. Basically, it's their job, these guys from the beach. We ourselves dragged when there were not three sunbeds nearby together. We are not in scrap! By the way, there are stationary umbrellas - you had to move all the time behind the shadow : )
The first 4 days did not leave a tip in the room, then another 4 days decided to leave a dollar. Basically, nothing has changed. But I didn’t feel sorry for 30 rubles a day. It is difficult for these people in this desert stone country to find another job.
Sculpting swans and other animals from towels did not take place in all rooms: apparently it still depends on the cleaner.
I was struck and pleased by two things: a cake from the hotel for my birthday and once I overheated in the sun on an excursion to the monastery and I felt very bad - I couldn’t have anything to eat, I just picked it up in my plate. So in the evening they brought snacks (vegetables, cold cuts, bread, fruits) to my room, although my companions did not say anything to anyone. So the managers are watching everyone!!
Rooms are clean, furniture is not very new but looks decent. And in the rooms we, in principle, only spent the night. The bathrooms are just great. In marble and other tiles. Minus: the rooms are poorly lit: in the evenings I had to turn on all the floor lamps and sconces, because. I don't like half the world.
ALWAYS take something from mosquitoes. In October, for example, they were unmeasured. Looks like they live in an air conditioner.
The food is varied: a lot of vegetables, hot-cold appetizers, chicken-beef-fish was always for lunch and dinner in a different form. For lunch and dinner, there was always a corner where they cooked pasta (there are queues for it, because it is cooked in front of you, and especially during peak hours : )). Breakfast is always the same. But they fried pancakes, scrambled eggs and fried eggs. And more DONUTS! ! Eeeeh....
I liked the variety of fresh, soft bread and the variety of pastries.

But! Sometimes the chicken was not finished baking, the potatoes and rice were not cooked. Apparently, they did not have time : ) I took rice in a dietary corner - there it was always well steamed. And the juices are all powdered. But a large selection of tea and of course local alcoholic drinks : ))
Animation super! From 10 am all sorts of aerobics, yoga, latino and other volleyballs begin. At 16 o'clock also on the beach or by the large pool. In the evening at 2200 in the amphitheater. At 23-00 everyone was lit at the disco until late (or until the morning . . Disco in the hookah bar). The animators are all talented, kind and give their best. Everything was translated into Russian.
Cons: small beach. At 9 am it was hard to find a sunbed. But fortunately at 11 they were already starting to release them. And after lunch, few returned to the beach - there are plenty of places.
Attention: upon check-in you will be escorted to the room by a person from the servants - immediately check the mini-bar with him so that there are no problems during check-out - then you will not prove anything!
I liked the rest very much. I'm even ready to go back there again, because. the atmosphere is very homey. The hotel is more family friendly. Sol Sharm Hotel is located on the same territory. There, it seemed to me, more young people live and foreigners. The territory of both hotels can be used. So, the animation took place in the amphitheater of that hotel. It seemed to me that we were very lucky with the building we got (the one with the Health Club). He was on the outskirts, so we did not hear the music from the animation and disco until the morning. I think not everyone, especially with young children who go to bed early, liked the constant noise and loud music.

The corals on the beach of the hotel are dead. There are almost no fish (only baited and dusty and also an octopus). We walked to the right of the beach along the road (there is a wasteland, an impartial vidocq and a hotel under construction) - there is a wild pontoon near a smartly-under-construction hotel. It's super: the whole underwater world, corals, fish and other puppy joy! Addictive like a drug. Baron was not allowed on the pontoon of the neighboring hotel. Caught as soon as he entered the territory. Spotted on the bracelet "all inclusive". But there the underwater world is even richer. So those who wish can simply swim there from a wild pontoon, swim, get off at Baronovsky and already walk to the house on foot.
Bring a mask, snorkel and fins with you or buy them there: in the nayama a mask + snorkel is $10, in a souvenir shop at the hotel a mask + snorkel + fins are bargained for like $35
Be sure to come with a group!
There is a souvenir shop in the hotel opposite the reception. And also in the supermarket at the entrance to the beach - a huge selection of all sorts of nonsense
Look like that's it.
Have a nice holiday! Relax and don't worry about the little things!
