Hello everyone!
I have long wanted to write a review, but somehow the hands did not reach.
To begin with, this was the first trip abroad for our family, and the first trip to the sea in the last 20 (twenty) years ((((That is, in theory, EVERYTHING should be seen in pink ....
But…
I'll start with the positives.

PLUS 1
NUTRITION.
This is really a huge plus for this hotel. I have never seen such a table at any wedding. The choice of meat is simply huge, two types of soups, salads are not counted at all, dessert. The waiters are cultured, everything is beautiful. A day later, additional types of the ball are served on the street - a fairy tale!

PLUS 2.
POOLS.

There are eight of them. Different shapes, depths, with children's slides, with adult slides, bars nearby. Everything is very great! There are a lot of sun loungers, it's not a problem to lie down. Towels give new cards, change without problems. True, as it gets dark in all the pools, they begin to pour some kind of muck for cleaning - and it gets dark at them at 18-30.19!

PLUS 3.
TERRITORY.
A very large hotel, all green. You can walk, walk, walk. There is a free gym (although I went there once - laziness), a children's room with an animator girl and air conditioning, shops. As for the shops - between the pools, where they sell parchment - in the neighboring hotel (Sonesta Club) there are 30 percent cheaper. And in clothes - shorts were sold to me (after the auction) for $ 25 and in the supermarket they cost $ 10.

And cons.
MINUS 1.
WATER.
I’ll attach a photo, but watching the yellow-rusty “water” pour from the taps is very annoying. Because of the water (and maybe food) on the fifth day, the stomach could not stand it and recovered only in Russia. Of course, they give 1.5 liters per person per day - in principle, it’s enough, but ...Soups are not yet known on what water they cook and wash vegetables.

MINUS 2.
SEA.
For us, the most important thing is the sea. Yes, the sea! These stones, heaped at the entrance, broke my knee when I swam. The bottom is bad, boats moor nearby all the time.
When someone shouted - everyone went to the shore, some kind of dangerous fish woke up (I don’t remember the name - photo), this is also a bummer. You can’t swim in the evening - and the evening is already 18-30.19-00.

MINUS 3.
SECOND LINE.
The beach is tiny, to go to it WELL IS VERY tedious! ! ! VERY! It seems not far, about 10 minutes on foot on hot asphalt - but it's so hard to drag. Although minibuses run every half an hour - well, I don’t want to adapt to them. Once again I will say - it is very difficult to get to the beach.

MINUS 4.
ROOM.
Russians are given rooms WITHOUT WINDOWS - like a crypt with a tiny balcony. We gave money and $ 20 and cursed, but changed to the same, closer to the pool. But in principle, you can live, of course, although in comparison with others - our rooms are just a squalor, like for servants.

MINUS 5.
ANIMATION.

There is nothing to do at all! ! ! Every evening entertainment for children is boring, but tolerable, and adults have nothing to do in this hotel.
Maybe, of course, somewhere to a disco, but we were with a child and listened to these “shows” every evening. When in the afternoon, out of wild boredom, I asked a Ukrainian animator to play table tennis rackets - she said no balls! They invite you to volleyball in the pool before lunch, to a belly dance, but ....Yearning!! ! !

In general, on the fifth day (out of 10), the child cried - he wanted to go home. And when they left the hotel, he cried with joy, even on the plane he behaved perfectly. And so are my wife and I. They gave that kind of money (as of June 2010 - 6.000 in 10 days), and with very deplorable results. The second time I would definitely not go to this hotel.
