First, about the worldview, so that the scale of values ​ ​ u200bu200bis understandable: I have been to Turkey several times.
Alcohol - wine, beer - very moderately.
Unassuming in food. Well, we do not have any particularly high expectations.
We love walking.
Read about this hotel. Tour recommended him. agent, she herself was in it twice. She also suggested some things.

We arrived, left the suitcase at the concierge right at the side entrance, changed into beach clothes in the toilet next to the reception (by the way, there is also recycled water, which is very bad for the image ... )
Breakfast before check-in is paid, but the bracelet can be put on before check-in, starting from 10-30. But in bars, even without bracelets, they pour 7up, and they would give water, but we didn’t know that it was only in one PianoBar. )))

with wet wipes on their hands ....they sat down and had a bite to eat with bayonets taken from home, and with a backpack they flopped onto the beach. Flip flops, towels and food were in it. There are also caps, eyes and sun cream.
Early - there is a choice of sunbeds ... )))
Bought, stunned by the water and the view.
But the mask is in the suitcase, they didn’t see the main thing ...
After a while, the passing hotel guide asked what we had and how, and sent us to "ring around" at the reception.
Already with bracelets - they pulled for lunch, and returned - they gave the key.
No money etc.
Of course, they said that such a good room, with a view of the sea, two chocolates ...but looked ...we decided, not impressed. Will manage.
...yes, you can see the sea - if you look to the right at 90 ° ...a piece. the balcony overlooked the pool on the 7th floor and the 2-storey building is new, apparently uninhabited.
Room 1869, eighth floor, left wing, hello neighbors!!!
Regular number.
Two double beds, larger than standard. The set of furniture is standard.
All shabby, but quite normal.
Refrigerator worked, condo too. The linen is clean.
Why are carpets warm?
The TV is old, the remote control is fastened with masking tape ... )))
Tired bathroom, acrylic, Grohe faucets, polished, but the washbasin was leaking...
but who cares...
Toilet bowl, bidet - sparkle.
Paper standard - two rolls. Fan working. A couple of bath towels, a couple of facial towels.
Soap, gel, shampoo, patriotic)))
Marble countertop, washbasin bowl, smeared with some kind of gypsum ((((
A metal dryer on the wall + a rope over the bathtub is stretched.
There are 5 trempels in the closet, and we brought a couple more.
The safe is free, program the code and use it. I was too lazy to pull it. Documents were lying about in the makeup table.
Balcony - a couple of chairs and a plastic table.
Curtains + curtains + bright orange decor. The door is movable.
With a certain direction of the wind, a great whistle ...

It is inconvenient that there are no sockets near the head of the beds, only switches ...

So, first dinner.
We circled, oriented, vegetables, rice, some kind of stew ...Well, sweet.
What can I advise: bright + beautiful = do not take)))

Back in Turkey, we found out that nondescript pieces soaked in syrups are all sorts of deliciousness.
And dates. DATES!!!!!!!!
)))
yes, further: drinks in glass, believe me - valuable, I'll explain later.
Wine can be taken in glasses at the Pianobar and come to the restaurant. At lunchtime and in the evening. Maybe with ice. Although they will pour it in the morning))) Circles, etc. in the same place or in a corner of the restaurant.
The breakfast is quite poor by our standards, but that's ok. Fried eggs + vegetables + croissants with milk and jam.
Well, there's something else you can do...
By the evening there was always a grill on the balcony. Chicken or fish, meat or fish rolls, pizza...

Food is enough. You can always combine something. steamed vegetables, pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.

Ends - the trays with the dish are immediately changed. Each sector has its own "cook" who is on guard.

The chief personally often watches.

Each "service" in its "form" is the elders.
It's very noticeable.
Storeyed - in plaid shirts
Restaurant : green palm cleaners/servers and light jeans.
Bartenders in black
And the cards and bartenders of street bars.
In orange - gardeners ...
Etc.
I tried how about 200 people work.
In general, the staff "rustles" very hard. And very quickly.
Yes, sparrows fly in the restaurant premises ......yes, annoying. But, are they driven, or something ...
On the 5th / 6th, half the hall was occupied at lunch, then there was a feeling that people were arriving every minute ...
More people = more difficult for all services ...
But!
Everyone smiles, everyone greets, as they can on "marha? ba" or sabah el hier - they just bloom.
I am also pleased when foreigners try to speak with me diligently pronouncing Ukrainian words)))

Yes. Farther.
WiFi is available only in the Piano bar... but somehow unstable. But it's free. )))
We received a key and cards for towels at the reception, the concierge in a green polo grabbed the suitcase, took it in the elevator and led the corridor through the catacombs)))
I opened the number, I earned my $1. ))))

Threw things, shower, fell to sleep.

At 4 times taxied out again to the beach. Took towels, found an empty sunbed on the 2nd level. It's hot, but it subsides ...slowly.
I just had watering with this very recycled water.
Yes...fragrant....but they have to save money.

It would be better, of course, to debug the irrigation system and run it at night, then they will not be in the morning, and they will not dry in the sun.

The beach is three-tiered, there is practically no one under the fungi braided with greenery. Perhaps just because of the watering. )))
2 and 1 tiers wicker mushrooms + a pair of sun loungers under each.
Fungi do not block the sun 100% ...but it is very evil ...so our cream is all, but it is still burnt.
The pontoon is short, 15 meters. The staircase is one. Bulk! ! ! AND! ! ! BEAUTY!!!
Stingray, Napoleon, whistle, needle, parrots, clowns, angels, lionfish and a bunch of surgeons.
I even saw tuna...
Every day is somehow different. Everyone gnaws at corals, there is a crunch under the water.
If you plan to swim for a long time: wear a white T-shirt or grease your back.
Water holds up very well. Back all in the sun

Beechboys walk along the beach: massage, diving $30, quad bikes, henna painting...
"Balshoy brazier lobster, soup, shrimp, carimar - today is vechirom romanti? k"...Everyone decides for himself whether he needs it. Bargaining is a must try. By the way, if you want to get rid of - Ukrainian is useful. It worked for me.
Tip: communicate with others.
One hundred information? it is divided. Then they will tell you something sensible, and you will be able to advise something. And everyone will win.

We went on a sightseeing tour.
It is also clear that it is free precisely because the oils in Nefertite and sweets are at the factory ...but fruits in one kiosk for $ 3, and without an alternative, this is not a market. Mosques - you won’t go in, the Coptic church is under repair ...
and it turns out that we rode half a day at 40 ° C .... )))

If you need fruit, go: at 14, at 17 and 20, a blue bus arrives at the corner of the asphalt road from Soho. Free. On BOTH sides. Password - "carrot")))

Mango, dates, pomegranates, figs, guava - all for $1/kg. A bunch of souvenirs, oils, hookahs, papyri, caps, bags, sweets, T-shirts. etc.
Barabashovo at 20 m? ... ))))))))))))
Underwater cover - $2. (Not 5 like everywhere else)
Shop review is on youtube. George Clooney.
We went at 14, had lunch, the sea is still too hot...

Go to Soho in the evening.
At 20 and 21 they turn on the fountain for 15 minutes, with music ...cooler ...movement ... ))

But they didn’t go to the cards, IMHO it’s stupid to expect Italian or Chinese cuisine in Egypt ...
Seafood for dinner...$25 - you decide.

Contingent: never singled out extinguished. Which is nice.
Ukraine, Poland, Kazakhstan, Slovenia, like the Netherlands, or the Germans...

I didn’t see animation on the beach, maybe there was by the pool ...I heard music ...
In the evenings - lit up well.
Clockwork dudes, and a beautiful young lady.
The music is very diverse, and live with a backing track, my uncle sang very well.
They invited to paid parties ...but I didn’t go in my youth ... ))))

Meeting with the guide 90% advertising excursions.
Decide for yourself.
He took diving and snorkeling.
(the wife is not very good at swimming, she is afraid of water, she is small at the entrance to the pontoon, on the right - the very thing) $ 30 and $ 25, respectively.
The instructor collected, got on the bus, went along the route of the free tour)))
They waited for the rumors in the port until the papers took shape, boarded the boat, it turned out that Fr. The tyrant is closed, the president has arrived ...they drove to other bays ( ).
If you dive 1 time, then 10 minutes in scuba gear, and deeper than 6 m - do not go down.
I checked.
Even at 6.5. )))
What characterizes Islam as a very responsible diver.
But even 6m.
, and swim calmly when your ass is not lifted to the surface - awesome!
... but everyone agreed that the reef in our hotel is no worse. )))
Draw your own conclusions

Dinner on the boat...Well, that's it.
Fine. Porridge, gravy... tomatoes.
Circles

Returned around 4 pm.

They also made it to the sea. )))
Since it closes with the entry, the lifeguard leaves, raises a red flag and a rope with a sign.


And the wings come out...
By the way, I also saw moray eels in the vicinity of the pontoon ... )))
I summarize:
The hotel is good.
According to reviews, the two-story buildings are freshly renovated.
There were no mosquitoes in the room. In the Pianobar, there were (((
Certainly not 5*.
To be, you need gloss, and even more services. Everything must be perfect...
But. The hotel is large, thoughtful, the territory is green and well-groomed, despite Mars behind the fence.
We didn’t even go around all the nooks and crannies ...you can get into the room in several ways ...

And the sea smooths out all the flaws. And if you comb the hotel tours will become more expensive.
At the Larissa Hotel, in Turkey, does the water stop? t free in refrigerators, you take as much as you need. Extra - it makes no sense to take. She is always available.
Also in the restaurant, pool bar and at the reception - coffee machines - a trifle like, and instant coffee, but this is an image ...Tea is also in bags, and sugar ...
And there are always napkins on the table
TC. here at dinner, there are no paper napkins!!!
I had to bring it with me. A trifle, but inconvenient ...

and does not feed the GUEST who has already arrived ...this is miserliness.
Maybe someone will bring this idea to management...
Guests will appreciate and remember.
And what exactly is up to the manager.

Well, now to the comparisons.
Somehow it happened - the flight was postponed twice. Accordingly, the room was rented at 12, at 12-20 we plunged and went to collect people in the neighborhood, and then to the sharming inn, until 2 am.
So.
Small hotel.
We were 140 lucky ones ... ))) There was a queue to enter the restaurant, there is not a very successful design of the distribution lines. At dinner, a cook stood and served chicken. Well, i. e.
e, it is not as much as you want to take, but as much as they put ((((
All drinks are in disposable cups, like water.
There is no wine.
But by the evening I had a crab, including ...

The number seems to be nothing, but in terms of sum --- worse. The linen is clean. The air conditioner roared like an airplane turbine.
The pool is one.
The sea is 7 kilometers away (that's 2 kilometers further than the airport from siva), and no reef or corals. They are on a paid $3 beach.
Wifi is paid, $2/day, if more days it gets cheaper.
True, available in the rooms.

But 23 thousand. with a ponytail, in 14 days... : -/

Draw your own conclusions.
And hey you're lucky!
