Rested with children 9 and 13 years old. The hotel left a very positive impression.
Food: delicious, there is always a choice. Every evening, fish, or chicken, or sausages, or meat on a skewer are baked on the grill on the street. In addition, the restaurant has always had chicken, beef, fish. Fish - more often pangasia fillets, but a few times there was a wonderful baked tuna. Desserts are delicious and varied, about once a week there was ice cream. Fruits (bananas, oranges, dates, apples, melon, watermelon) - yes, usually chopped. Sliced ​ ​ bananas, apples and oranges in some kind of syrup look suspicious, I didn’t want to try them (although sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ fruits are sold in the local Carrefour in exactly the same syrup). We ate fruit salad (cut right there in front of you), watermelon, melon and dates. Whole fruits were laid out right there and it was no problem to take them.
Minor nutritional deficiencies (tea - only black, no paper napkins, sometimes you need to look for spoons) I consider insignificant. This impression did not spoil us.

In the canteen-restaurant, cleaners work like bees: they clean everything quickly, they try.
In general, there were no problems with the staff: we communicated in Russian and in broken (very broken! ) English. In case of difficulties in communication, there was always someone (from the staff) who understood and translated.
Aquapark is brilliant!! ! Children are delighted! On all slides, it is recommended to use inflatable rings or special mats, which reduces the risk of bruising during the descent.
Let us down accommodation in the hotel, tk. we got an uncomfortable room (did not change). Cleaning is superficial, but it did not bother me. The staff is very friendly and diligent.
Lots of sunbeds on the beach and by the pools - always enough.
Animators are smart! Pool games, water polo, water aerobics - we liked it. When we were in the team there were several Russian-speaking animators (girls from Ukraine).
In general, everything that concerns the hotel itself is very decent, in my opinion. No frills, but deserves a good 4-ku.
What annoyed me the most was that there was absolutely nothing around the hotel (in the sense of walking / walking in the evening), and I had to travel far to crowded places. On minibuses this is not a problem, but you still want at least some kind of civilization around. To the old city for three on a minibus, we paid from 15 to 50 pounds ($ 1-3) - as agreed. In general, the "fee" for travel is 5 pounds / person, but many drivers from tourists ask for $ 1 / person.
On the day of departure (we left the hotel at 4 p. m. , but we didn’t check in too early on the first day - about 6 p. m. ), they didn’t cut off our bracelets, we dined quietly and used all the services.

And, finally, how to relax so that there are fewer Arab guests in the hotel? If possible, try to rest in Ramadan: at this time, mostly only Christian Arabs come to hotels, and, as a rule, there are influxes of visitors only on weekends. And still, there are many times fewer Arab guests! In my experience, the quality of service in Ramadan does not suffer in any way. But after the end of Ramadan, within a month, you will most likely have to come to terms with a large number of Arab guests.
