Advantages:
Excellent food, quiet and peaceful hotel - so quiet that for families with small children and needing daytime sleep or needing to go to bed early in the evening - just fine...Coarse sandy beach, plenty of sun loungers...Friendly staff, no extortion...No reckless Russians (in November 2010 there were only 2 Russian families)...We really liked it with a 5-year-old child !! !
Disadvantages:
Lack of your pantone. . . Representative of the tour operator in a nearby hotel. . . There is no animation for adults and older children, the depth with coral reefs and an abundance of fish is 800 meters. . . But nothing threatens small children : )).
Review:
A very green area, an abundance of flowers and birds, proximity to water slides, a very civilized hotel, chosen by Europeans with small children, there are very few Russians, but this is rather a plus...

I really liked the rather large heated pool for adults - my daughter didn’t get out of it, she didn’t like the sea for its salinity, so she came off in this pool in an inflatable vest, fins, and in a mask...No queues either on the slides or in the restaurant . . In the restaurant, I was impressed by the manager who monitors everything - both the layout of the food (buffet), and the cleanliness of the dishes brought from the kitchen, and the fact that the chefs preparing pasta or pancakes at the request of visitors change rubber gloves on time, always greeted with a smile and welcomed in Russian, I liked the receptionist on duty, who perfectly understands the Russian language and speaks it (and this is almost in the absence of Russians in the hotel! ), the Russian-speaking worker on the slides, in general, had the impression that only polyglots were gathered there : -)...The food is excellent, there is everything you need for children, the choice is huge, and everything is very tasty...By the way, no one
did not interfere with taking fruit out of the restaurant or even sandwiches...We liked it (my husband is a night fruit eater : -))) No one had stomach problems...Almost a day after arrival, we discovered that we had the remote control at the TV was broken - they replaced it within an hour, and no one tried to suspect us of a breakdown, but on the contrary they apologized...There were no problems with bottled water or some kind of rationing, we read reviews about other hotels at first we were greedy, we didn’t take one at a time, and several bottles at once, and then this water began to slowly accumulate with us...In the all-inclusive system, local wine (both red and white) turned out to be delicious - moderately sweet, not tart, not sour, but very light, just right for the weather. . . I really liked the ice cream at the pool bar during the day (tasty - almost like our sundae), and you can ask it to be poured with syrup (there were several to choose from). . . Not a bad beer,
my husband was even surprised (he also read reviews about other hotels : -)) I liked the territory and infrastructure of the hotel, that the common area with two more hotels - there are many pools, all three hotels are located in such a way that they seem to be nearby, and at the same time while the animation of one does not interfere with the rest and daytime sleep of children in the other...Club - the quietest, for small children - the very thing! We saw many couples from Holland, Germany, Italy, France - with children from 8 months to 3 years old...After 6 pm - complete silence, darkness, beautiful lighting of the alleys, illumination of flowering plants - quiet pools - very beautiful and peaceful. . . The room is normal, everything worked, 3 Russian channels on the TV set, cleaned at our request, at least every day (hang out a bag with the inscription either "clean" or "do not disturb", towels were changed on time, everything is nice and friendly...When they left a tip (5 of their pounds or 1 dollar) - they found some cool animals from the towels,
either a crocodile, or a crab, or swans strewn with flower petals...When the cleaner noticed a plastic cup with ashes on the terrace (I didn’t find an ashtray in the room), he immediately brought an ashtray - I didn’t even have time to ask him, I noticed it myself brought...And on the last day before leaving, some security guard in uniform came and asked how they cleaned our room, whether we liked everything, whether there were any complaints - probably worried about suspicions of theft or something else - we assured that everything is fine...They wished us a pleasant flight and expressed a desire to see us again at home...It was very nice...About the sea - I liked it...There are fish for the child to see near the coast, we fed them with a bun (it was just 2 weeks before the shark attacks began), even two moray eels were found in a small reef almost near the shore, they were filmed on camera - knee-deep (for an adult) in the water. Where else would my child be able to see such beauty right at his feet,

standing waist-deep in water? By the way, this moray eel was insanely beautiful - all patterned, some kind of golden brown, and not even aggressive, she was hiding, and her husband lured her with slices of ham, swam out more than half a meter, ate right at her feet, did not try to attack. The daughter backed away, of course, hid behind her husband, but watched with great interest. The second one hid and did not crawl out, only showed its muzzle - bright pink, also very beautiful, because it is unusual. By the way, after we returned and found out about shark attacks in other hotels, I thought that the 800-meter right-of-way from the coast to the depths and the living coral reef is not bad, but very good...In any case, some the shark can be seen from the tower (I just don’t remember if it is there), and warn the vacationers to go ashore...Yes, and the shark will not swim, most likely in such shallowness, snorting about the bottom, the fish there are not rich for her, what does she have coast to do,
800 meters to swim in almost open space? Therefore, for some reason it seems to me that (again for small children) such a long shallowness and that it is far to the depth is good, safer than when the depth is nearby, and it is not known which of them will suddenly appear...By the way, after I don’t recommend shark attacks to do as we do and feed the fish with sausage - suddenly lure someone bigger : -)) not overbearing, almost the same as outside the hotel in the market...Masks and fins with snorkels, flip flops, of course, it is better to buy at home - they will come out 1.5-2 times cheaper...Corals cost the same, like us...For some reason it seemed that the hotel administration was selecting sellers - they are mostly Christians there (in a Muslim country ! ! ! ), they behave very correctly,
they speak and understand Russian quite well...You can bargain with them (I couldn’t, I immediately melted, but my husband, without aggravating the situation, easily and naturally managed to bring down the price by almost 2 times, if not more, and all with smiles and jokes). . . It’s so shady and cool there, we often went there, a playground with a swing in the shade next to the shops, a bank with an ATM again, in the shops my daughter was constantly given some small souvenirs like scarabs, even a silver cat-pendant was presented . . (however, maybe because we made purchases there : -))) I also got the impression that the hotel administration selected personnel adequate and loyal to Europeans, of whom there are a lot...Both hotel employees and sellers located there shops. . . In general, the impression of the hotel is exactly what I was looking for for a relaxing holiday with a small child. . . And slides, and sand, and fish, and silence, and a lot of greenery, and flowers, and wonderful food,
and friendly staff, and the absence of drunk Russians : -)) I recommend! ! !
