In general, excellent hotel / service, the food is not very varied, but tasty, we want to come again!
If you don’t walk there with a “muzzle of a brick” and with the look / feeling that everyone is obliged to you, solve any problem / issue with a scandal / demand, look for minuses / dirt in the cracks, etc. , but you will behave adequately, with smile - you will like it.

We chose the hotel according to the criteria: not a long pontoon, beautiful green large, cozy territory, little asphalt - more flower beds / greenery, not Hi-Tech style, good food according to reviews.

Hotel. Yes, the hotel is not new. But! The decoration used expensive natural materials: granite / marble, and everything is in good condition. Staying at the hotel is pleasant and comfortable. Perhaps for some of the minuses - the nearest market / retail outlets is about 5 km away. Accordingly, the plus of such a location is silence.
There are small shops in the hotel, in which we personally had everything we needed.

Yes, the price is more expensive than in the markets, but it is possible and necessary to bargain.

Rooms. Very spacious, from the minuses - the mattress is hard, the pillows are not comfortable and the air conditioner blew on the bed. (the air fought off the wall and the stream went straight to the bed. But they decided simply - they pushed the bed away). All of the cons. The furniture is very solid, wooden, with marble countertops. Certainly not new, but in good condition. This more than suited me: I can’t stand chipboard furniture, even if it’s new, but falling apart right in my hands. No fungus/dirt was found. I didn’t look in the cracks / under the countertops. The balcony is large and spacious.

Territory. Gorgeous!! ! I really liked the photos - and they corresponded to reality !! ! For me, it was even better in real life! The territory is large, descending to the sea along a very beautiful staircase, segmental, wooden. Between the building and the sea - a huge pool. Great advantage!
- during the day in the heat it's hard to get to the sea alive, not boiled : ), and along the way we dived into the pool, and reached the sea : )
Another plus of the pool for me: its shape. It is divided, as it were, into segments, narrow, 4 meters wide but VERY long! As a result, you swim not in a pool of people, but in a pool of beautiful water! Great views for photos! Of the minuses: although the pool was cleaned every day (I personally saw it), there were enough fallen flowers / leaves for the day.
There are 2 pools: in the center - with sea water. In it, the water is colder than in the main.
In part of the main pool there is a place with slides, a children's pool and animation. Gorok two. Not cool, small. More children. For me, it was normal to ride for a day, more often it was boring : ) There were enough sunbeds, but in the part where there were slides / animation - you could not find free ones in the afternoon / evening, because the bulk of the vacationers were there.

Beach and sea. GORGEOUS!! ! The sea is just amazing!

The reef is rich, the fish are very different - shoals! And keep in mind: in the morning / afternoon / evening, different fish appear. We were taken on a catamaran (bathyscaphe) excursion, so that's where they took us - the sea was practically lifeless, and not at all interesting compared to the sea of ​ ​ the hotel! After that, we realized that we chose the hotel VERY successfully: the sea is rich, lively, chic!
The beach is very beautiful and well done for me: a cascading descent and along the descent there are islands with 2-6 sunbeds. At the beginning it was a labyrinth for us : )) In a word, if you are tired of people - such a beach is just a godsend! ! It turns out a secluded individual beach: behind the rock, on the sides too, and in front - a gorgeous view of the sea! Enough sunbeds/places. Even in the afternoon / evening - you could find it.
The pontoon is 70 meters, you can go down the stairs into the sea, or you can jump. Height - approx. 3m.
For those who can't swim, caretakers on the pontoon lower a lifebuoy - and they hold on to it in a bunch: ) For those who can swim, there is a minus - the same caretakers do not allow you to swim far ...: ) Radius - 40-50 meters from the pontoon. The original toilet on the beach: glass, overlooking the sea : ))

Animation. For me, it was boring. Very weak. During the day, the standard: exercises / yoga / some kind of entertainment, etc. And in the evening - belly dancing / some kind of dance group of average quality / karaoke. All.
Animators adequate, not dostavuchye.

Nutrition. When we arrived there was a set menu. It's tasty, but not very different. Rice - fed. When we got tired of chewing rice, it turned out that we could ask for potatoes: ))) Then a buffet appeared. Tasty but not very different. We got tired of food only after 10 days of rest. Every day: chicken / lamb / fish / shrimp (or squid). What struck me: cakes / pastries - they tasted DIFFERENT! Most are very tasty!

What I didn't like: they give portions. For example, I wanted to eat only chicken with vegetables. They threw the vegetables they needed without any problems, but with the chicken - the ambush came out. The cook on the grill threw 1 piece, a small one. I needed five pieces. On the third piece - I already started to feel like a beggar ...extremely unpleasant! ! And before the fifth piece, I had to perform: to take the pose of "pliiiiz" of a cat from Shrek .......with a plate instead of a hat in my hands ...: ) Kapets! ! You pay normal money - and he squeezed you a piece of chicken. And what - eat what you don't like? ! I won't! ! By the way, he makes barbecue there from chicken. I thought, at least from lamb ...And the queue there is the largest and longest: about 20 minutes. In a word, we no longer went for barbecue.
Another pleasant thing: most of the first courses were edible and tasty! Fruits are few.
Alcohol. Wine - semi-dry, you can drink. Beer - medium scall.

Contingent. When we arrived, there were practically no people: we saw them only in the dining room.
Beach/pool/territory - empty!! ! The real paradise!! ! Serving more vacationers. Paradise did not last long. Day 3: ) Then a lot of Egyptians arrived (they had some kind of holiday). What I didn’t like: in the canteen, almost all of their children climbed out of line. There were many. And even adult Arab men ...And you stand in line and think: am I a black sholi? Are we unwanted guests at the hotel coming out? ! Unpleasant and very stressful. Food had to be obtained in a brazen battle : ) As a result, in a jokingly offended form, she complained about such behavior of children in the hotel. I did not expect, but they stopped serving these non-queuing people out of turn! ! It's nice that they listen to us tourists! At the end of the holiday, more of ours arrived, it became more comfortable, clearer, more pleasant : )

Guide: Odeon tour/Coral travel. Overall good, but irresponsible. Be prepared for the fact that he himself will tell you to come tomorrow to clarify, and - he will not come, he will disappear. And you will search all the stands for the info you need : ).
And the search will start with the stands themselves : ). Bus transfers/excursions - all new, great!


temperature in July-August. When we arrived: kapets hot, and it's in the dark! ! But they quickly recovered: on the 3rd day in the evening at 36 it was comfortable on the street, not even hot! But now we are freezing at home : )) In the afternoon, from 12-14 - yes, it's hot, but not so cold. The thermometer wrote 40-45. If you just walk under the sun, after a couple of minutes you feel like a jellyfish in a frying pan: )), you go in zigzags looking for a shadow and any movement of air: ). But the rooms are air-conditioned everywhere, everything is comfortable. The sea is warm, they swam in it for an hour - they did not freeze. For me personally, this is a huge plus. We almost didn’t lie on the beach - it’s hot, almost all the time - in the sea, in a relaxing position in a mask while watching a movie: 5D aquarium : )

Service. For me personally - 5 stars: polite, cultural, attentive, unobtrusive.
At the entrance, almost at night, we were given a room with a view of the neighboring balcony, although I specifically paid extra for a sea view.
I want to note: rooms overlooking the balcony are more spacious and the beds are wider. I went down to the reception with a voucher, there is a Russian-speaking Ibrahim (Well done! Thank you! Very polite and pleasant) - to him with a smile (albeit a tortured one - tired, having not slept for a day, the constant removal of the brain whining daughter: this is not it, and this not this: ((and of course I wanted to hug him more) and with an air of "bewilderment": ) - they say, check pliiiiiz! , then he apologized a hundred times, gave me a look at another room and said that if we didn’t like it, he might move tomorrow to the third one, in another building. The sea could be seen a piece ...: ) But a gorgeous view from the second floor of the pool and the hotel grounds. We decided to stay in this room. And never regretted it!!
To the constant "Hi, how are you?
"- I'm personally used to it, but my daughter was shocked: " They are so strange ": )) And I like it: it's nice when the day starts with a smile of a tanned, pretty, contented face : )

In a word, we rested there!! ! Gorgeous! Thanks everyone!
