I will try to be short and informative as much as possible.
1. Flight and transfer to the hotel
Departure from Odessa at 07:00, carrier sky up
The first surprise was sky up, I was expecting to see a dead, dirty plane, the same as in UIA, but I was met by a fresh, well-groomed, neat aircraft cabin.
The flight was on time. At 10:30 (approximately) we had already arrived, we were met at the airport and taken to the bus.
2. Settlement
At 12:00 we arrived at the hotel.
3 minutes to sign papers, put on bracelets and sent to dinner.
We returned to the reception at about 2:30 pm, so after eating we went for a walk and inspected the hotel. On our return we were given the keys to the room.
3. Number
The room itself was normal, no frills, but no mold or shabby furniture.
But the location was terrible, on the first floor, in some corner, almost under the stairs.
Naturally, I immediately went to the reception, and already prepared 50ye, because I did not expect that the replacement with numbers would be easy.

But they changed without getting anywhere, and easily. They gave me new keys and asked me to inspect the room. It turned out to be normal, the second floor, overlooking the pool, it suited us, and we stayed there.
4. Nutrition
Someone here wrote that the food is bad, and monotonous.
Well I do not know. Dishes, of course, are repeated by 60%, but their number is very large, you won’t try everything in a week, even if you put yourself a teaspoon of each, everything was delicious, so that I didn’t finish it, that’s why it wasn’t tasty.
From seafood there were fish and squid, once shrimp, I didn’t eat it, I won’t say anything.
I recommend that you first go around all the canteens (not restaurants, these are canteens), see what you want more, and then take up the plate. No one will be left hungry, even at 22:00
The alcohol is terrible, once I took a risk, I took whiskey, and once wine, and the first and second ones are not even suitable for a compress, let alone drink.
But beer in bottles, nothing like that.
5. Hotel
Clean, well-groomed, I can’t say that it is old, the floristry is well-groomed, the staff worked all the time on the appearance.
There are not many Russian speakers, there are more Germans, a little less Italians, a few Kazakhs arrived by the end of the holiday.
6. Sea
The pontoon itself is 550m, the descent into the water is convenient, but the stairs are narrow, very often there are queues. For 7 days, the red flag hung only once, although the neighboring pontoon of the Mirabell Hotel almost always hung a red flag.
the reef is good, there were quite a lot of fish, lionfish, I saw very often, small moray eels, a lot of surgeons, something very similar to clowns and scalars, I don’t know the rest of the fish, but there are a lot of them, and after lunch there are more of them.
There are tides, about 1m
The eviction was on the 8th day, at 3:30 am we were picked up, departed at 07:30 according to the schedule
I liked everything, hotel, rooms, food, reef. Discussion of course on 3
