Rested in September 2017.
In general, we really liked it, but in order for the rest to go off with a bang, you need to prepare in advance for additional expenses (well, this is my personal opinion).
The territory of the hotel is large and green. We were settled in a bungalow, took a family room, two rooms. Didn't regret paying extra for it. The furniture is old but in good condition.
But there were two air conditioners. The child was put to sleep in the second room. The main air conditioner is very noisy and blew directly on the bed. Husband set it up to blow on the TV.
Cleaning mainly consisted of mopping the floors. The mirror in the bathroom has not been washed even once in two weeks. The bed was not changed every day, probably once every three days, we did not notice.
Towel figurines were not spun every day, although we each left a tip. Both Saturdays we were not cleaned, they came on these Saturdays by lunchtime, when the child was sleeping.

As for the food, I can say that it is difficult to stay hungry there, there are always several types of meat, fish, but there really are no special frills. Seafood is served twice a week.
Fried crabs, shrimp, octopus. They must be found on the street. Breakfasts, in my opinion, are rather weak, but there are dry breakfasts for children, two types of porridge, they fry an omelet (I asked, they fried me
just fried eggs), there is cheese and sausage, jams, a lot of pastries. Very tasty bread. It is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner and that was our problem, the child only wanted to eat it.
There are a lot of vacationers with children and there is a lot of things for children. That is why food is often almost without spices. Yes, there are a lot of different sauces nearby, but when you are with a small child,
there is not always time for this. For lunch and dinner, there are always two types of the first, usually one cream soup and just soup (I got borscht once, though it was also called soup))).
From fruits they gave watermelons, melons, figs, apples, pears, agave, apples, bananas. There was almost always a fruit salad, usually an apple + pear. One time for dessert was like me
called it the Banana Rescue Raid. There were sliced ​ ​ bananas in white and milk chocolate. The raid was a success. Indeed, some meat dishes and fruits are given reluctantly, a little bit.
People take two plates at a time. A lot of locals, they didn’t bother me at all, I didn’t notice sidelong glances. Yes, noisy, but my child is also noisy. I read in the reviews, people complain,
that both their own and in the dining room immediately give them a larger portion. The point is that they are usually always with a bunch of children. Those chefs who saw that I was with a child, I also
Then they gave more. The fish is delicious, but if there were no problems with the fillet, then once I took a whole fish, it was tasty, but it’s not possible to eat, not only is there a lot of bones, so
it was corny not cleaned from the husk. I didn’t conduct such experiments anymore, I took only fish fillets. Once there was even a mackerel fillet.

On the territory there is a water park, which consists of 3 adult slides and a children's water park. The child really liked it. There are also two large pools with a section for children.
(one near the lobby, one near the beach), but we hardly swam there.
Regarding the beach, the first days we were upset. In the reviews they rarely write that there is often a red flag from the pier, and in a bathing suit at high tide I am waist-deep, and at low tide knee-deep.
Of course, the child is happy, he stands there with his feet. Due to the location, there is almost always wind here. Thanks to this wind, the heat is not felt so much and the laundry dries faster, but because of the same
winds, the sea is almost always stormy. A few days later we found out that in the afternoon there is almost always a yellow flag and you can swim. Of course, it's a long walk along the pier and back, but it's worth it!
A couple of times we caught the yellow flag in the morning.
The playground is in disrepair, the swings are not fixed, and the carousel collapses completely, there is no way to ride.
Wi-fi is only available in the lobby, but you can buy a local sim card.
We went from Tez Tour. At the airport, everyone ran to get migration cards at the Tezturov counter, but we went to the next counter, where there was no queue, we were offered to fill them out for $ 5,
although there is nothing complicated. We agreed because the child was tired from the road and was naughty. The border guard dissuaded us from buying visas only when he heard that we would be more than 14 days,
showed where. As it turned out, visas later, if anything, you can buy through a guide.
Excursions were taken from Tez Tour and from the hotel. If comfort, convenient time and compliance with the agreed deadlines are important to you, take a tour operator. If you want to save money and comfort is not so important to you -
you can safely take from the hotel. I definitely recommend taking diving from the hotel directly from the pier, $ 20 for 15-20 minutes under water and you don’t have to go anywhere.

From Tez Tour we took swimming with dolphins, an excursion on a yacht with a bathyscaphe and my husband separately took a diving excursion, from the hotel we took a performance at the dolphinarium and diving from the pier.
We were also offered "free" sightseeing tours and a trip to a Turkish shopping center. They refused the survey, because. offered an inconvenient time. Those who went say that the tour itself
interesting, but they bring them to two shops where oils and other souvenirs are supposedly the lowest prices, and then it turns out that the same oils are sold cheaper on the territory of the hotel, so
be careful, these excursions are always put at the beginning, while you still have money and until you figure out the order of prices. I advise you to check prices at least at the hotel before you go.
As for the Turkish center, my husband insisted on going. It's good that I looked on the Internet and we were ready. This is a fur and leather haberdashery store. YES, we wanted to buy a jacket there, we
and bought, but also bought a fur coat)). They are thoroughly processed, if you do not plan to buy anything, it is better to refuse such an excursion right away. Not even taking money with you will not help. You can pay
at the hotel, you can use a card, you can even leave an advance payment of 100-200 dollars and then pay at home. If you do this, put your signature on the tag so that they send you exactly the thing
which was measured. And keep in mind that delivery will only be to large cities, there may not be targeted delivery, check this. Bargain. If you take several things, they are more likely to throw off. If they tell you
that this model cannot be delivered to your country, it means that they have thrown off almost the maximum for you and it is no longer profitable for them to make delivery. The guide gets his percentage for this, they say that if you go there
on your own by taxi, the discount will be more.
The child knocked out a promise from us that we would come to this hotel again. So, Nubian village wait for us)). Next time we will try to pass for a certificate, this can also be done right at the hotel.
