I’ll write right away that I really liked the rest and 11 days flew by like an instant and we are ready to return to this hotel again !!!
A hotel for a relaxing family holiday, complete relaxation, animation is practically not observed, except that after dinner there is a disco by the main pool.
We had a good room 3504 very close to the beach, second row, after cosmetic repairs, everything is as in the description of the hotel, a nice bonus that the air conditioner did not turn off after leaving the room and it can be adjusted manually.
The area of ​ ​ the hotel is large, green, well-groomed.
The hotel consists of 2-storey buildings and is built in a cascade, it reminded me of some Italian town with many steps, courtyards and small pools for several buildings, it's very cool to wander around in the evening : )
Electric cars drive around the territory, so getting to any point of the hotel is not a problem even with children.

The food is varied, not tired and what is important for me is quality, there was no spoiled food, everything is fresh and moderately salty and spicy. A lot of fruits 3 times a day, constantly bananas, oranges, grapes, watermelon and melon, dates, a couple of times there were figs, peaches and pears. And this super-baking. . . the croissant just melts in your mouth, and with brewed coffee in the morning, it's divine : )
Chicken, veal, fish every day, a lot of grilled dishes are prepared in front of you, a variety of side dishes, steamed vegetables, vegan cuisine, spaghetti are very tasty, the food is excellent, but who wants lobsters, then not in this hotel : ) From the booze, dry white and red wine, Stella beer, all undiluted and drinkable.
In bars, fresh juices and cocktails for extra. fee.
The sea and the beach is a separate song, because. Since this is a cape, there is always a current and a light breeze, so the heat is not felt, as cruel as in the bays and very comfortable.
Of the minuses, this is a pontoon, I don’t understand why a hotel of this level cannot make a stationary pontoon. The pontoon is plastic prefabricated and needs to be changed, with a small wave it chatters and it is difficult for children and the elderly to walk. It didn’t bother us, the main thing is coral and the sea is magical, and we swam for a long time and a lot, you can swim behind the hotel and behind the cape, no one forbids.
The hotel also has a rule that you can enter the sea only at 7.30 in the morning, which was an unpleasant surprise for us, because. we are used to swimming already at 6 am, but we discussed this issue with the hotel manager and we were personally allowed to swim from 6 am, having written down our room number. If this is important for someone, then I warn you that all issues are resolved in this hotel, everything can be negotiated and without scandals and surcharges they go towards customers.

During our stay for 2 days there was a storm and a red flag, but we do not like to sit by the pool and crossed the road from the hotel to the private beach of El Fanara, which is located in the bay, there is no wave or wind and it is very hot. Entrance 5 dollars or 75 pounds for the whole day, there is a diving center, sun loungers, a towel, water 1 bottle, a massage room, a cafe. The bay is very beautiful, good coral, a lot of fish, but it's very hot for me. In the bay there is a beach of the ZAZ Fanara hotel, I think that in winter it is good to relax in this hotel and on this beach, it is not windy.
The staff at the hotel is very friendly, they speak mostly English, only in the main restaurant there are Russian-speaking girls. Security at a high level, the hotel is very safe.
I recommend the hotel!
