We chose the hotel according to our budget and estimates on different resources. We went beyond the sea, impressions, sun and warmth. We received everything in full. We flew from Kyiv with Join Up, again, after reading the reviews, I was afraid of transferring the flight. Everything was normal. except that the departure was moved 1.5 earlier. Not a significant detail. The territory of the hotel is huge, clean, well-groomed, lots of greenery, 8 swimming pools. Lots of steps and stairs. For two adults this is not a problem, with children in strollers it is not convenient. We took a deluxe room when buying a tour.

They settled quickly, we arrived at 7 pm, gave bracelets, a room key and cards for towels. And immediately went to dinner. We lived in building 8, overlooking the sea and the pool. The last row of buildings from the beach. The room is large, the balcony is huge, the whole terrace.

The room is clean, everything is in working order, a huge bed with clean linen, a refrigerator, a flat-screen TV, a hairdryer, a safe, a set of towels, soap and water accessories, enough hangers in the closets. Of the minuses in the room - noisy air conditioning, then I got used to it and did not pay attention, there was no kettle, bathrobe, slippers, there was no drinking water. You have to take it yourself in the bar near the lobby.

The beach is large enough, the entrance to the sea is only from the pontoon. There are many sunbeds, but if you come after breakfast, you may not find a free one. There are always free sun loungers near the pools. The reef is beautiful, lots of fish. On the beach, a standard set of entertainment: volleyball, darts, petanque, oriental dancing, exercises. The contingent of vacationers is mainly Ukrainians, Belarusians, many Germans, Italians, there are Czechs and Poles. I didn’t see discrimination in the color of the bracelets of vacationers by the staff, yes, if you give a scourge a dollar or a euro, he will bring drinks from the bar, and the sunbed will be staked out, etc.
The staff always greets, asks how are you, I understand that this is a formality, but nice. We didn't go to see the guide. Sellers of excursions and spa services are not intrusive, if you refuse to go further by.

In terms of nutrition: there is a lot of food, the menu is quite varied, there was no seafood, but we didn’t go for them. If you come to the very beginning of breakfast, lunch, dinner, there will be a queue at the entrance to the restaurant, it is problematic to find a free table. If you come an hour after the start of breakfast, lunch, dinner - there is no queue, there are free served tables and enough food. The waiters bring drinks, beer and red wine are delicious, everything else (whiskey, tequila, juices) is so-so. Pastries and desserts are beyond praise. The beach bar serves delicious pizzas and salads for lunch.

Of the minuses in the restaurant - I saw chipped and chipped dishes. On the territory of the hotel and next to it there are many shops with the necessary trifles, souvenirs, oils, textiles.

Prices and assortment for tourists. We have to bargain. We went to the Old Town, took a taxi on site, transfer there and back $ 8. By communication - immediately upon arrival we bought a Vodafone SIM card at the airport, the guys - the sellers immediately inserted it into the phone and made the necessary settings. Wifi (available only in the lobby) was not used.

The hotel does not live up to the declared 5 * stars, everything is "tired": furniture, dishes, sun loungers on the beach. Animation is not intrusive, evening shows are paid 15-20 €. Relax beach is closed for reconstruction, no work was observed there. There is no one except for two guards. In general, the rest was satisfied.
