We stayed at the hotel in early September as a couple. Upon arrival, they settled in the room, although we paid a little extra so that it overlooks the pool (they didn’t demand money, they said at your discretion). The room is normal, everything worked, but how they clean it... if you can just call it that. They don’t clean the balcony, they don’t wash the shower room, only the floor in the room. They twisted the swans off the towel a couple of times, but we didn’t leave a tip and didn’t do it again (I don’t see the point in paying for such cleaning).
The restaurant has a large selection of dishes. But! and it seems like chicken, and beef, and grill, but it tastes specific, and you don’t really want to eat it. Breakfast is the same, scrambled eggs and different types of cheese. For dinner, they somehow gave a delicious duck, turkey. There was crab, but it's like mashed potatoes inside and doesn't smell very good. There is a children's menu, but I didn't see what exactly. Were in the a la carte restaurant (fish) served beautifully but most of the taste is not edible.
The pool is clean, there were enough sunbeds, but there was no grating on one pipe, which is a big minus. There is also a lifeguard on duty.

To the sea to go min 10 if a quick step. It’s normal to go down through the neighboring hotel, but it’s hard to go up and even in the heat at lunchtime. The sea is clean, beautiful, pantone is in good condition, there is also a lifeguard. The depth immediately goes 20 meters. But this is a sea for adults, there are very strong waves, and they are not allowed to swim far. The reef is beautiful, the fish were most of all in the afternoon. There is an entrance from the beach, there are very shallow and corals. There is nowhere for children to swim. There is a bar on the beach, there were enough sunbeds, but the toilet is far away, and you have to go up to it, and it has never been cleaned since its construction (keep in mind this is someone with children).
There was always beer in the bars, and if you were lucky, even cold beer was poured, as always, into a small glass with a lot of foam. There are different local alcohol (as for me the taste is the same, but the color is different, and the quality is so-so).
There is animation, they were constantly invited to aerobics, darts, etc. Every day in the evening different shows were invited to the disco.
There are a lot of locals in the hotel, but they behave in a civilized manner and do not interfere with anyone.
We took excursions on a yacht and a quad safari, we liked it. We took the hotel because the price did not differ much.
I recommend Fares fish restaurant, very tasty and fresh seafood. They also advised a market in the old town, where they cook on the spot or take away, but we did not go there.
For this money (about $700 for two) you can go. if we take into account that this includes flights, a commission to the tour operator, etc. , then there is not much left for the hotel, we can’t rest for this money. And we went for the sake of the sea, there are few places like this. But this hotel is not suitable for small children in my opinion.
