Briefly:
The reef is beautiful, the rest of the questions.
The room is spacious, there is enough furniture, there is a refrigerator, LCD TV, safe, air conditioning, cleaned every day. There are big problems with the bathroom, the first impression can be quite bad, in many rooms the tanks are leaking or do not hold water, the shower hose is not whole everywhere. It is necessary to either repeatedly demand repairs or repair it yourself.
The beach is interesting, there are 2 pontoons, the reef is excellent, a wide variety of fish, corals and other animals. It makes no sense to take a yacht tour on about. Tyrant, the reef is no better there.
Detail:
The check-in was fast (10 min. ), the resettlement was also fast (5 min. ).

All rooms have a sea view anyway, don't pay extra for a room with a view. Many are first settled in the dumb room 3039 (we were also there at the beginning, with us they settled there 3 times, then everyone moved). The room itself is spacious, in general, everything corresponds to the photos from the hotel. You will not find photos of bathrooms, because there is usually tin. Here you will find 2 towels, 2 bars of soap in sticks, some liquid soap in dispensers near the sink and shower (no shampoo). The tank stupidly does not hold water, everything immediately flows into the toilet, 2 times I asked for repairs at the reception and 1 more time from our hotel guide, in the end I dealt with it myself. On the other hand, the family that threatened to complain did get repairs, they even got a plate of fruit and drinks as compensation : ). By the way, even if the tank draws water, it will be drawn indefinitely, draining down through the overflow, we had to turn off the tap at night so that the water does not gurgle. Some of the rooms have a bathtub, and the other part has showers, everything generally works, but it looks unpresentable because of the darkened silicone around the perimeter of all plumbing. The shower hoses in some rooms are leaking, in our second room the hose near the watering can was wrapped with a small rag. There is a bidet, hygienic shower and sink and a large mirror. There is a hairdryer, but the heating did not work in it (I did not have time to check in the first room). Twice they turned off the water for the night, once completely, the second time the water remained in the shower and sink. once the power went out in the evening for a couple of hours. There are no mosquito nets on the windows (but there are mosquitoes). The windows themselves open according to the coupe system, sometimes they get stuck. The room itself has a large bed or two, there is an LCD TV, but with only one channel (TNT), there is an air conditioner (even a working one), but the sliders of the regulator can be broken off, remove the cover and move the regulator there. The light in the room contributes to the intimate atmosphere, as there is no central light at all, there are only 2 low-power bedside lamps that will create twilight. There is a safe in the rooms upon request (we were brought). There is also a refrigerator. Interestingly, there is a switch in the corridor, which is not clear what turns on, and so, it is from the refrigerator !!
The food, as it seemed to us, is normal, although many complained. Every day there is fish and chicken, once there was even meat and a few times liver. There are several options for rice, pasta and "rice with pasta", salads are usually 5, there are several soups, scrambled eggs, for dessert: biscuits, pancakes with jam and donuts. From drinks, water, tea, coffee (+vegetable cream substitute), cola, fanta, sprite and some kind of alcohol. The hotel itself has a bar that is open until 22:00, where you can order the same drinks or ask for a cocktail. It will be a very simple cocktail, since the bartender has few ingredients: diluted vodka, sprite, cola, fanta, red syrup, green syrup and ice.
There is a shop in the hotel, on the first floor, there are pretty good prices, you can buy a SIM card with 3G Internet for $5 (one woman bargained for $4), at the reception they ask for Wi-Fi for 7, its quality is terrible, it catches only from front desk, do not take!
The territory of the hotel is large, but unkempt in places, you can even find a small dump, some palm trees dry up. Nearby is a large abandoned area with ruins, there is also an abandoned beach, there is no security, you can wander or swim, a good reef.
Beach. There are several beaches. The first one is small, isolated between the rocks, with a pontoon, but there is also a place for swimming with children where the reef is cleared. The second beach is located to the east, also has a pontoon. The reef in both cases is excellent, a huge variety of fish and corals, there are crabs, chitons and other mollusks, if you're lucky, you can see a sea turtle or a stingray. There were few people on the beach (about 30 people lived in the hotel), they gave out beach towels.
