Rested at the hotel for the second time this year (the first time in March). The composition of the guests has changed in favor of foreigners (Germans, Italians), Belarusians and Kazakhs have also been added. Age category - youth in couples and without (30%), couples with children (40%), mature guests -
thirty%. The number of rooms is old, but there are new buildings near the tennis court, as well as rooms marked with signs of regular guests. It is better not to take rooms in the central building. We got a room with a great view, away from the noise, but with a broken shower, socket and balcony handle - all fixed while we were having lunch. The air conditioner worked properly, the mattresses were good, the bedding and towels were fresh - what else do you need from a room? Guests are greeted at the reception with hibiscus and frozen towels - just magically, while you fill out the form and wait for registration. At early check-in, bracelets are put on immediately and cards are issued for beach towels - the sea, the bar and the kitchen are at your disposal.
My girlfriend came to the hotel for the first time with me, but she received a golden bracelet of a regular guest, like me - very nice. The golden bracelet is the choice of a room to your taste without additional payment, even remotely (by e-mail you order a room), as well as bathrobes and fruits in the room, as well as fresh juices (mango, orange, guava) for breakfast, an invitation to a cocktail party and the opportunity to visit a la carte restaurant reusable. And if you have visited the hotel 5 times, a tree is planted in your honor. The general manager at the party announced that 30% of the hotel are regular guests. Why? Very simple - the combination of price and quality. WI FI only at the reception (preferably at the airport to buy a local card for $ 5 - and the issue is resolved). The staff is friendly in response to your smile and of course, a dollar if possible. Housekeeping - daily change of towels, replenishment of the bar, tidying up the room. Food - varied (raw vegetables, baked, boiled, grilled), any meat,

besides pork, of course, fish + crabs, pizza, soups, fruits (grapes, guava, persimmon, pears, dates, bananas, pomegranate, melon. Sweets are in abundance. At the lobby bar - delicious burgers, fries, salads. From alcohol it is better just drink white wine (from a bottle) and beer. The rest of the alcohol - cheap and cheerful) Juices - of course, guava and mango. Water is freely available from 10 to 24.00 at bars and in refrigerators (05.05 and 1.5 l), in the lobby - hibiscus around the clock. The beach - no complaints, it's better not to leave towels on the sunbeds, there have been cases... (Entrance to the sea from the pantone and from the shore (just wet your feet). The reef is very beautiful and densely populated (lionfish, moray eels and rays are frequent guests), so that without a mask and snorkel is not an option at all. There is a good dive club on the territory. Animation - exercises, aqua aerobics, darts, marenga, yoga, volleyball. This time the Olympics were held. For children - a separate program. every evening 21-23.00 - performance (contests Mister or Miss hotel, karaoke, live music,
performances of dance groups). Downstairs every day - a disco until 24.00. Swimming pools - for children and 3 large ones at different levels from the sea. Spa center - for a fee, tennis courts, gym, ping-pong - for free. In walking distance from the hotel there is a beautiful city beach with cafes and beach towels. Also nearby is a local colorful attraction - Farsha cafe - recommended for a visit. Market, pharmacies, Mc Donalds, shops - within walking distance. The old city - the market and the mosque - if you want to buy something from clothes, bags or fruits to go. Taxi 1-3 dollars, as agreed. Excursions - Israel 1 day - very tiring - on the road 8 hours there plus 3-5 hours customs, 8 hours Jerusalem and Bethlehem and 8 hours back. The bus is always full, there are many children, sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's cold, in general - an adventure for everyone. Especially for young pretty girls (even if with a husband) and men,
in appearance capable of physical labor (even if with wives) - at Israeli customs they can be regarded as "defectors", pick up a passport before interrogation (with an inspection of all personal belongings and checking the phone - correspondence, photos, contacts) - in time it can take up to 6 hours of waiting. All sea excursions - with diving, bathyscaphe or evening show - definitely yes. Safari (quad bikes, camels, dinner, performance) - yes! Yes! Yes! Local discos - for lovers of the Arab contingent and such-and-such music. When checking out from the hotel - it is quite possible to agree to leave the room at 12.30, and for regular guests - to stay with a bracelet at all for lunch. You can take a burger, pizza and fruit with you on the road, because there is no food on the plane, and you will be at home in 9 hours. I hope my review will be useful. I wish you all a frequent and pleasant holiday!
