Stayed at this hotel from 08/09/17 to 15/08/17. The tour was bought from Coral Travel. There are no complaints about the tour operator: departure on time, transfer from / to the hotel on time, the only thing of course is the work of the guide, or rather the tales that he told about insurance, excursions. Excursions are very expensive compared to local guys, but if you fly for the first time and take two excursions, for example, then you give the third one for free, so in the end it turned out more or less normally.
The hotel chose because of the sea. It is beautiful here, the corals are beautiful, the pontoons are 4 pieces and very short (10-20 meters). The beach is decorated in a very original way (many stairs, all in wooden structures, although for overweight people, disabled people, families with small children in strollers, this will be a problem. A sufficient number of some nooks and crannies where you can retire, For the beach and the sea: 9 of 10 points.
Check-in: Our departures were inconvenient at the hotel were at 5-30 local time. Immediately put on bracelets, allowed to use the beach, restaurants. But the room was given only after 13-00. One lady from our group tried to solve the issue of earlier settlement by bribery. Yes, it was settled before everyone else, but literally for half an hour.

Number. The room on the voucher was standard, in fact settled in Royal Wings. Just a huge somewhere around 50 squares, a huge double bed, a 32-inch LCD TV (10 Russian and Ukrainian channels), a large bathroom, a large bathroom, a free safe, two armchairs, bedside tables, a kettle and accessories, of course air conditioning. mirrors, table It looks like it used to be a suite. of the minuses: the shower hose was leaking (he fixed it in 30 seconds), and a small puddle ran out from under the bath when swimming. Cleaning is so-so. It doesn't matter what the dollar left or not. True, a couple of times depicted hearts from towels. Upon check-in, a bottle of Pepsi and 1.5 liters of water in the minibar are free of charge. In the following days, only 1.5 liters. water. If there is not enough water, you take a bottle and go to any bar, they pour it for free. This type of room is located, as it were, in a separate area. Separate pool, separate bar, and there used to be a restaurant.
Territory of the hotel: Everything is green, everything is beautiful, they cut, sweep, though the garbage in bags can lie for several days. Several pools, one with sea water, though it was initially empty with us, then they filled it up, it stood for two days, turned green, and was lowered again. Two slides, a lazy river. Several bars, three restaurants. I liked the area.
Disadvantages:
1. The vast majority are local vacationers. The second largest group is vacationers from Ukraine, and isolated cases from Kazakhstan, Russia, Germany, possibly Britain. Some habits and mores of the locals are a little shocking to Europeans (although you will not see a drunken Egyptian sitting on a palm tree and yelling CAIRO). The hotel administration divided the restaurant (separately for locals and Europe, although no one forbade either us or them to eat in a restaurant other than theirs). Again, the locals mostly sunbathed near the pools, and we were all at the sea.
Again, locals are a priority, they climb everywhere without a queue, they are served first, in short, we are SECOND grade here. Most of the locals do not know how to swim, five or six people will hang on the stairs on the pontoon neither to enter nor leave the sea. Although there were exceptions.

2. Nutrition. This is the biggest disappointment in this hotel. The level of the most seedy trio at best. Of course, you will not stay hungry, but everything is always the same. There was chicken, fish, sometimes beef (sometimes nothing, sometimes you can't chew it), pasta, potatoes, salads. For breakfast, yogurt, scrambled eggs. Waste-free production, what is not eaten goes into salads for the next meal, etc. etc. Fruits: green melons, pears, dates, watermelon once, unripe oranges. It seems to be the cheapest. The only thing that pleased: pastries. 2 out of 10 for food. Not poisoned and that's good. There are two a la carte restaurants. You can visit them for free. In previous reviews, everyone praises the Lebanese restaurant - as for me, nothing special, but no service at all. Plus some sides with a record. The first time they came, we were not on the lists, the issue was settled, but the sediment remained. In the second, they already came to the reception to clarify, also some sides, they moved it to the next day. In short, a mess. By the way, there is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception, it is better to contact her for all questions.
3. Animation. As if there is, but no, and the evening shows in the pioneer camp are better.
4. Internet. As if there is in the lobby, for free, but you can say that no. When leaving the airport, I bought a local SIM card from Vodafone. Prices start at $3 for 1.5GB, $5 for 5GB, etc. 4G everything flies. Although the day before departure, a router was installed in the room. Paid or not, we did not find out.
5. At the beginning of September it is still very hot, but this has nothing to do with the hotel.
But in general, if it’s cheap and close your eyes to some points, then it’s quite a suitable option. Would I fly a second time to this hotel: rather no than yes. Feel free to ask questions, I'll try to answer while it's still fresh in my mind.
