Stayed at this hotel from 12/30/14. until 01/06/15.
Pros:
1. location: right by the sea, a lot of sunbeds, beautiful corals, a large selection of sunbeds; By the way, Sharks Bay is the most protected from the winds. It was comfortable.
2. Sokha Square (entertainment center) is nearby, walk slowly for 10 minutes;
3. normal attitude towards tourists, friendliness, knowledge of Russian and English; At dinner, the waiters were always attentive.
4. cleaning in the room daily and efficiently.
Minuses:

1. Nutrition. A very small selection of main dishes, the change of dishes lasted a long time and those who did not have time were late, as they say)). Breakfast is standard, but dinner is very poor. If they gave chicken, then these are bony pieces, the meat is tough, and the fish was always fried in batter, which acquired a very dark shade of overcooked butter (like we sell pies). Tomatoes turned out to be a delicacy, it was hard to find and vegetables were mostly given a little. Fruit has always been there. During the day, there was always a place to eat, but only pizza (one dough) and burgers : ( with fried potatoes.
2. Animation is very primitive and weak, about the level of 11th grade.
3.95% of tourists are Russians.
4. Intimidation by hotel guides (Biblio Tours) about
insecurity of excursions purchased not from them. Many tourists, incl. and we bought tours on the beach at the water entertainment center, as well as in Soho at the travel agency. The price is much less, and the quality and safety are identical.
Adviсe:
1. Take sun loungers earlier, since already at 08-30 it is almost impossible to find a free sun lounger by the sea.
2. Take excursions not from hotel guides.
3. For dinner, all the same, come to its beginning.
4. Bargain in stores, even in supermarkets, as well as in taxis.
5. Do not purchase a visa if you are not going to leave Sharma.
If I came back to Sharma again, I would choose another hotel.
The overall impression of the hotel is 4 minus.
