риф перекрыл все недостатки the reef covered all the shortcomings

chose this hotel based on the cost of the tour. we got 26600 UAH for 3. We arrived after 13.00, so the check-in went quickly. the manager at the reception offered to improve our room immediately for a fee (he didn’t name the amount, we broke down a little then he said at least $ 10 and we decided that for three it’s not so bad and agreed) We got a room overlooking the pool 5121. Himself the room is normal, the bathroom is of course sooo tired, but since we didn’t really bother about this, we settled in. The problem of settling arose due to the lack of cards for towels. However, it is not clear why there were no cards, since basically everyone took a towel at the beginning of the check-in and handed it over on departure. Therefore, we recommend that all vacationers do the same. Firstly, there are not always towels (which we encountered). Secondly, there is one booth for issuing towels and it is located far from the pontoon. (In other hotels there were also booths with towels near each pool)
Food: we weren’t hungry, in its own way it’s not bad, but a very small choice. Meat and fish were given out in portions and in small pieces, and since I didn’t eat the rest at all, I had to beg for an extra piece . . We never took ready-made salads, because they look like salads from what they didn’t eat yesterday, but people took it. Rice (tasty, but cold), mashed potatoes, fried potatoes (everything is kind of cold). I liked the asparagus bean stew with vegetables. Soup-water with a drop of noodles and vegetables, but we took it. Personally, I added rice, meat to this water and everything was very good; ) from fresh vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers. there were baked zucchini and eggplant, but for some reason they were cold, like from a refrigerator.
The breakfasts also lacked variety. Mashed potatoes, rice, sausages in tomato with onions and peppers, something grated from legumes (seemingly not very appetizing) vermicelli with milk . tea (one kind plus there was not always enough boiling water, you had to wait), coffee, sweets. two types of yogurt, feta cheese, jam, honey, something like melted chocolate, pancakes. and the king of all breakfasts Omelet! (for which there is always a queue)

Separately, I want to say about drinking. Alcohol is diluted to such an extent that it is already water. Even the beer is watered down. at the same time, they immediately offer to buy for $ 7 (whiskey, brandy, etc. ) the same local alcohol, but not diluted. Therefore, if alcohol is important to you, just stock up on it from home.
from soft drinks cola, fanta, sprite and yupi. (sometimes very warm and without gas, as the bottles are opened and the lids are not closed.
The dining room is unsanitary. Tables, chairs are sticky, dishes of questionable cleanliness, so stock up on wet and regular wipes. By the way, napkins are also in short supply.
Cleaning in the room superficial, insolently require dollars. why is not clear. for throwing the garbage out of the basket and making the bed? so that's his job. We didn't pay on principle because of his impudence. Every day the cleaner must put a 1.5l bottle of water in the room. Be sure to check the film on the neck,
Animation, in general, is not bad, especially unobtrusive. Exercise, water aerobics, yoga, games with children, evening shows. We didn’t go to them, so we can’t evaluate it.
Beach. entry from the pontoon, the reef is very beautiful, colorful and varied corals, fish large and small, angels, parrots, butterflies, sergeants, surgeons, etc. There were a lot of Tridacna shells that had a very bright turquoise-emerald "mouth"
In conclusion, I will say If you come overseas and are on a budget, feel free to go to this hotel. If you are used to comfort, cleanliness, culinary delights, then you are clearly not here. Take a good mood on the road, look at everything positively and your vacation will be unforgettable. Have a good rest everyone
