The hotel was recommended by friends.
In principle, coming here - did not regret it. got to the hotel closer to 20-00. there was a little misunderstanding with the settlement. the administrator at the reception began to offer us another room, supposedly it is better and bigger. then it turned out that a company of 4 people entered in front of us and they were offered our number for baksheesh, and they handed them to us. when we entered the room, we understood everything, because there were exactly 4 beds, and there were three of us... we had a little fight at the reception, we were even given a few keys to free rooms, so that we could look at them and if we liked it, we moved. but in the end we stayed in the original room.
now for the hotel. the area is large, green, beautiful. the neighboring Nubian Island hotel belongs to the same owner and you can use its territory, with the exception of bars and dining rooms.

food is normal. there was always meat, fish, grill. gave seafood (squid, crabs). lots of vegetables and fruits. cheese and sausages are tasteless. like soap. but there was always something better to choose from. a lot of baking. Basically, you won't go hungry. near the beach there is a second dining room, which works on the principle of a la carte in the evenings, but during the day it is an ordinary dining room where you can eat deliciously. for lunch there was always a grill (lyulya, quail or just chicken), pizza. in general, it’s worth going there for lunch, especially since not everyone probably knows that meals are included in the price for lunch, so there are always fewer people.
booze. . . all alcoholic drinks are the same taste, but with a different color. except for the ultrasound, which is somewhat similar to the sambuca. everything else is cheap swill, which can only be drunk in the form of cocktails. By the way, at first I drank cocktails with ice, until on the third day problems with the stomach began. I sat in the room for half a day . . I think that ice is made from technical water, hence the problems. after that he stopped drinking cocktails with ice, and throughout the rest there were no more problems. Wine - powder, you can drink, but not often. the beer in the bars is bottled, it is very reminiscent of Obolon light. in general, none. but in the dining room there was keg beer, in principle, nothing, you can drink.
drove from Anex tour. guide there is still that boor. at first I tried to explain to him in a good way that I don’t need his tours with a double price tag, he didn’t want to listen. I had to send him. . . he didn't bother us anymore.
beach. long pontoon, with a beautiful reef and lots of fish. True, there was always a red flag before lunch. snorkeling only after lunch.
location: close to many shops, pharmacy. a little further the legendary Cluny shop with low prices but long queues in the evenings
diving center is so-so. the yacht and the instructor came across to us just awful. on a yacht it’s just scary during the waves, the sides are low, all the time they were afraid to fall overboard. the instructor is just a boor, he does not know Russian well. yes, we went diving with a company from the street, so there the yacht was decent and the diving instructor was just great. my 11-year-old daughter just fell in love with him, how attentive, polite he is, he explains everything, and in several languages ​ ​ ​ ​ at once, because. among us were Italians on a yacht

the room was not very good, but cleaned every day, clean. The air conditioner worked but was really noisy. the hairdryer worked, the TV was on, but I don’t even know if it works, because. we didn't even turn it on. towels were changed constantly. the first day nothing was left on the bed, they came - the room was just clean. the next day they left a dollar, got a beautiful figure from towels. then they left a dollar every other day, but the figures were already every day on the bed, and different ones.
upon arrival in the refrigerator there are several bottles of drinking water (it is recommended to brush your teeth with it). after, at any bar you can take water in unlimited quantities at any time
the staff is polite, attentive, everyone knows Russian at a sufficient level. the bartenders are cheerful and talkative.
played tennis. in the daytime for free, but very hot, in the dark for a fee, but tolerable, you can play normally.
animation for Russian speakers is very weak and boring. animators just no. and every day is the same gloom. Another thing is animation for Italians, where the guys give all the best. my wife and daughter really liked the aqua aerobics at the Italian animator, and the Russian-speaking one was completely despondent.
the hotel has a lot of Ukrainians, Uzbeks and Belarusians. but the real paradise is there for the Italians. they even have different bracelets and the whole staff really fawns over them. but I did not notice the disdain for the others. it’s just that the Italians were treated like VIPs, the rest were just politely
to the question would I come to this hotel again: the answer is yes, definitely!
