1) ARRIVAL! Upon arrival, we were immediately fed (arrived at 00:15). Then we were offered a superior room with a surcharge of $ 10, we were seduced and the room really was a little better.
2) NUMBER! Quite spacious for two, with a balcony, shower and toilet. Large bed, comfortable closet, sockets, refrigerator, hair dryer and TV. There is no kettle, coffee maker and iron in the room (although the sites have it in the description).
3) CLEAN! At 3/5. Cleaning every day, but not perfect, although in terms of relaxation and constant walking from the beach, this is not surprising. A big minus is the huge cockroaches in the room and throughout the territory. Cosmetics and towels were changed every day, bedding 1 time in 7 nights.
4) FOOD! Many reviews complained about the food, but we really liked the food.

There was a choice for breakfast, but not enough meat (there was only sausage "for an amateur", which looks like the cheapest doctor's sausage of a strange color). There was a good selection of milk, rice porridge, cottage cheese, soft cheeses, buns, puffs, cereals, jam, marmalade, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, salads, etc.
Lunch and dinner are always a great choice. Several soups, side dishes (rice, noodles, potatoes, beans), meat (the chef gives out portions, but if you want an addition, no one will refuse), a lot of salads, a large selection of sweets (cakes, pastries, baklava, jelly, etc. ), fresh buns, bread, pita bread. Sometimes there was meat from the grill, fish, meatballs, etc. The guys put a barbecue by the pool and cooked chicken (the aroma was on the whole hotel).
Drinks: that's the problem. If you drink alcohol, then take it with you. On the 3rd day, wild heartburn begins and stuff like that. "Juices" are some kind of diluted concentrate, it is also impossible to drink. Tea and coffee are cheap.
Beer is worth its weight in gold! Pour strictly and little : )
A bottle of beer costs from $2, local alcohol from $5 per bottle. Cola / Fanta / Sprite - $ 1-2.
Juices in the store $ 1-2.
Water is also poured here at the bar, you can also fill it in your own bottle, but we bought water in a 3l store for $ 1.
5) BEACH! There is a shuttle service to the free beach, 5 minutes drive exactly. Walk 25 minutes. Nearby there is a paid beach, go 10 minutes - $ 3 (give 0.6 water for free). All sun loungers are free.
Beach from the hotel: there is a descent down the stairs, it is not big and quite comfortable. Sunset on corals, there is a place for children and 2 ramps. A bar with soft drinks and buns is free, beer and cocktails from $2. There is a toilet and shower with fresh water.
On a paid beach (Reef Beach) descent into the water along the stairs immediately to the depth. No entry.
Be sure to buy shoes for walking on corals (in the hotel it costs from $ 4, on the beach $ 5-7). Masks with a snorkel at the hotel cost ($7-10, $8-12 in the market, $20 in stores).

6) There are 2 pools on the territory, a large pool with a bar from 10:00-17:30 (all drinks are free except beer), a small pool with slides and no bar. All pools are open until 17:30 (until sunset). It is forbidden to swim in the sea and in the pool after ordering (it is no longer possible at 17:30). There is a bar in the lobby from 10:00 to 00:00, everything is free except beer.
The bar in the restaurant operates on a meal schedule.
7) Entertainment: we took an excursion on a yacht (the price includes diving 1 dive, lunch, transfer, masks, fins, vests, coffee, water, tea. I liked it very much. Recommended for diving enthusiasts, very beautiful views under water.
As a gift, we were given a city tour, we do not recommend it. Very long stops, hot and obligatory listening to advertising of goods in stores and imposing it. It is better to see the city on your own if you wish.
The hotel has animators who regularly do exercises, dances, competitions and evening shows (well done guys, we didn’t go for the first 3 days, and then we still attended shows, it was fun).
8) STAFF!! ! Friendly and welcoming people. Responsive and positive. (Yes, on the street you can
approach and offer their services, but you can refuse and no one will be rude to you).
Everything is so, only if you yourself are an adequate and positive person. If you are a fan of walking into the lobby drunk at 9 am in your underpants and yelling at the bartender to pour you a quick drink and you don’t care what is still closed, then be prepared for the fact that you will be treated badly.
Cattle enough from different countries, drunk and sober. It is a pity for the work of cooks, when people collect 2 whole cakes per person, and then throw away 90%. It is unpleasant to watch drunken passengers who pester everyone and yell something like "black-assed" and so on.
If you are humane, you will be accepted with a bang.
By the way, they also told us that they beg for tips here - they didn’t ask us. When we saw fit, we left.
