We rested at the SUNRISE DIAMOND BEACH 5 * hotel from December 17 to December 27.2018, the three of us with a 13-year-old granddaughter.
The location of the hotel for December (prevailing northerly winds) and the layout are very good. The buildings close the hotel area and the beach area from the wind quite effectively.
Beach. Sea 24°C, air 24°C. For the entire period, none of the vacationers got burned, although they rested in the sun from 9-00 to 14-00. There are enough sunbeds, the territory is cleaned, quality towels. For kids, the seashore is not suitable. Stony bottom, at low tides (at this time the low tides were just during the day) shallow water 30-50cm. Children (and adults) who do not know how to swim in the sea have practically nowhere to swim.
For such - three pools. But there is chlorine.

For children and adults who can swim - swimming from the pier, which is set directly above the reef. We got great pleasure here. The reefs are beautiful and all over the shore of the hotel. There are enough corals and fish for everyone. Be sure to bring a mask and fins. When swimming from the pier, slippers are useless.
The beach bar has a decent selection of drinks. Starts when loud music plays. There is no queue. In the large pool at this time of the year, the water is not higher than 20 ° C. Refreshing. Therefore, it is empty. The small pool has heated water. The baby swims there. Not crowded and fun. But it's chlorine. In the children's water park at this time, cold water.
The room is clean with a balcony. The beds are comfortable. Linen is good, changed daily. The plumbing is leaking. Be sure to take mosquito repellent (fumigator) with you. Mosquitoes bother all night. Mobile phones were charged in the toilet (few outlets). Wi-Fi was not available in the room, although it was available in other places. Air conditioning is not needed at this time of the year.
We ate at the Italian restaurant (breakfast and lunch) and the main catering unit (dinner). The food is quite varied, especially salads and desserts. Meat dishes - you can wish for the best. The beef is old, mostly. But everything is edible. Alcohol for lunch and dinner without restrictions. The stomachs didn't protest.
Staff. Basically - smiling friendly. But there are some individuals (I came across a bartender at the “warm” pool), who need to be reminded of their place and duties. Instead of "mister" they try to address the Slavs "hey friend", who are three times older than the bartender. But comments are immediately responded to. Especially if you switch to English and ask to be connected to a supervisor.
The second time in this hotel you can go safely. Rated 9 out of 10.
