I'll start with the good. Sea - stunned, reef with fish - worthy of all praise! And I really liked the quad bike ride! Do not take pity on 18 bucks - from Gena and Cheburashka (but in no case from the hotel guide - twice as expensive! ) If you ride - they take pictures and sell photos for 5 bucks - do not agree, and you will be "persuaded" to buy as a result for 1 dollar!
But neither the sea nor quadrics are connected with the hotel. . . Now about the hotel. We paid for Hills. BUT, we were immediately warned at the reception - there were only 2 free rooms left (as we needed - 4 people), but one of them is not very... (this is an understatement not very - without a balcony, with a "blank" window on the wall , dark, small and uncomfortable, I, of course, already think that this is my imagination, but in my memory there was a TV on the refrigerator, just like in the Crimea in cheap Soviet rooms))) and the rooms are located at different ends of the hotel, but we wanted to be closer to each other. However, we were immediately (kind of! ) offered to settle in Falcon in Viva - there were two rooms on the ground floor almost next to each other - we went to visit through the terraces. Here we liked it, although the furniture in the hotel is old (as in the Hills, in principle). We liked the territory of Falcon in Viva much more, but both hotels have a tiny one, it takes 20 minutes to walk to the paid beach, to the free one only by transfer, and he goes 3 times there and 2 back, and it is extremely inconvenient if all inclusive - or you are left without lunch, or without the sea after lunch (at 9-00 a bus there, at 13-00 - back). That is, you do not stay at sea for a long time, but why did you go there then ?? ? As for me, you need to take half board and bring your own alcohol, they still have no alcohol, and dinner is better than lunch. For breakfast, you collect food with you (they turn a blind eye to this) and that's it, you can sit on the sea from 9-00 to 16-30 (the last bus back). Yes, if you ordered a lunch to take with you on an excursion the day before and for some reason decided to stay at the hotel, they won’t let you dine in the restaurant, they monitor this and remember everyone - I was escorted out: “You were given dry rations, sorry, but leave "And I was terribly offended by them !!!
Now about the comical situation, cat. happened to us in this hotel! ! The plumbing there is old, like the rest of the hotel, and somehow on the third night of our stay, when we returned from the city (it was about one), we let water in the sink and - oh, horror !! ! - SHIT starts to flow out of the toilet bowl and the drain in the bathroom : )))) Somehow I calmly reacted to this, as I had read all sorts of different reviews before that... Moreover, the reception quickly responded and ran to fix it. Well, we laughed (mind you, instead of swearing) and decided not to waste time - sat on the bed and drank our own cognac, thriftily stored from home; ). The Arabs somehow pulled themselves together, and - OH ANOTHER BIG HORROR! : )))) - SHIT FROM THE SEWER LEAKED ALREADY, as it seemed to us, FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER!!! ! : )))))))))) (it can be seen that there were pipes passing nearby. By the way, we turned on the air conditioning extremely rarely initially, since it stank during operation and made noise))). In general, our fun knew no bounds!! ! As a result, by 2 am we were offered to change the room. The new room turned out to be for three, huge, on the second floor, with an awesome balcony and a view, but for some reason without a safe, we were terribly happy again : ) and then we had to make a little noise : ) The last room turned out to be very good at first glance, but and there our sink was leaking and the plaster in the bathroom was falling off : ))) But we didn’t have the strength to swear with them, after all, we came for the positive, and we closed our eyes to it - it didn’t flow so much - so, a small puddle formed, we threw a towel over her every day - it didn’t bother us))). Yes, and the cleaner changed and we stopped spinning animals out of towels, although this did not really matter. So, better pay another 50 dollars and go to another hotel. This one needs renovation. Although, they fed very well, I was in Turkey in the top five - it is more diverse there, but everything is not so tasty, but here are a few dishes and - you will lick your fingers, I got fed up and only long-term floundering in the sea and watching the fish helped to maintain my shape. By the way, we didn’t have time to return home, when reports began to come in about a man-eating shark and black flags were hung on the beaches, and we didn’t sit a day on the shore! We were lucky, we had time, otherwise there would be nothing to do there at all - the hotel is boring! : ) Yes, the paid beach is no different from the free one, I even liked the free one better. Go to the old market - bargain. It gave me great pleasure to bring down the price by 2-3 times. For example, if they tell you - 20 dollars, say - it's expensive, but I'll take it for 8 - you'll take it for 10 for sure, but you can insist on 8!
