Trip from January 23.2013
Location - close to the airport. Huge territory. Lots of greenery. Many flowering bushes, palm trees
Check-in - within 5 minutes. We booked a room with a garden view. They offered a room with a sea view for 15 euros per day.
They refused, they immediately offered for 10...
I used to pay extra for a sea view (in other hotels) once for $ 50 I got a family room with full-wall windows, all the sea in the palm of your hand. Elsewhere, for $ 100, we got a room on the 1st floor and to see the sea you had to stand on tiptoe...
This time we decided not to show off. And she didn't regret it. Room on the 1st floor opposite a stone wall woven with greenery. Through the greenery you can see the sea, because in the morning they always saw whether there were waves or not.
The room is large, huge veranda. The room has a standard set of 5 stars (except for a set of thread and a needle, it’s good that they took it from home)

I was very pleased with the kettle and a set of tea, coffee, sugar. It's nice to drink tea in the evening on the veranda inhaling the aromas (I didn’t understand whether the flowers smelled or incense).
When cleaning, stocks are replenished. And the water in the fridge only on arrival. Then you can take it in any bar and put it on cooling.
Cleaning is good. For additional gratitude even put a bouquet of flowers. The pleasant smell just made my head spin.
Everything of value was kept in a safe. On the beach, I heard a conversation that someone did not close the door on the balcony and something was missing from them.
There are 4 Russian-language channels on TV. (It would be better if they were not there, they could not tear themselves away from the news).
I read a lot of reviews like "a good hotel in a bad place", we went with fear of being lucky or not. We were lucky! The weather was amazing.
In addition to the first two days, we swam on the reef from morning to evening.
The place on the beach is windy, this can be guessed from the "windproof partitions" near the sunbeds. They really protect from the wind and besides, thanks to them you get a closed personal space.
Plus - that you can swim aground (last year in Coral Bay they didn’t let us into the sea at all - you can swim only from a pontoon, and this is only for those who know how to swim well). While you go knee-deep - sand, then dead coral. In slippers you can go in and swim a little. And even aground you can see a few fish.
We went for the reef and it fully justified itself.
This beauty cannot be described in words. Especially the first entry. I jumped off the stairs, put my head in the water and. . .
breathtaking - under you abyss. The sun pierces the water with thin rays. The bottom is not visible. And suddenly, from the bottom, a black "monster" rises right at you -
and although it is just a big fish, there was a feeling of both fear and delight.
Around the school of all kinds of fish, beautiful corals.
How many times I swam, I found so many fish with a new shape and color.

On the last day we made a big swim - we went into the sea at the extreme left point of the beach. We reached the reef, lay down and carried the current to the pier.
20 minutes of indescribable pleasure. And all the way we were accompanied by a huge bright green fish, until we climbed the stairs, she swam beside us all the time.
I was surprised by the temperature differences - sometimes almost hot, sometimes terribly cold.
Every day the sea is different. During the day there can be waves, you walk along the bridge, and you are covered with splashes, and after a while it is completely calm.
Food - Plenty. It's not just a lot, it's delicious. Especially baking croissants and puffs for breakfast is something!
There were no olives, but they were replaced by wonderful lightly salted cucumbers. I am not a fan and not an expert on alcohol, but everything seemed to me to be of quite decent quality.
Cocktails are especially good in the lobby bar. Here they are made with juice, and in other bars with yupi or sprite. Very tasty cappuccino.
Tip - be sure to take a mask, snorkel and slippers. (In extreme cases, all this can be bought on the spot)
If you don’t see this beauty at least once, consider that you went in vain.
By the way, for those who do not know how to swim, there are 2 lifebuoys on the pier, which are constantly used by everyone.
There is a strong current on the right side of the pier, it is better not to swim there.
The service staff is impeccable throughout. Almost everyone knows Russian, and they constantly joke. Very friendly. Always smiling.
I understand that this is their job, but our service workers do not consider it necessary to smile, they think that they will make you happy if they pay attention at all, say thank you if they don’t impose....
From every trip abroad, I bring exactly the feeling of satisfaction from communicating with friendly people.
At 6 am I went to the sea. Vacationers are still sleeping, and workers of the invisible front are cutting bushes around the territory like goosebumps, cleaning, watering...

The cleanliness is exceptional everywhere. I never saw a discarded piece of paper or a cigarette butt anywhere. Throughout the territory, trash cans stylized as stumps do not hurt the eyes, but are always at hand.
I won't say anything about animation. I went for silence. I saw that there is animation. Dancing, yoga, water polo, water aerobics, volleyball, maybe something else.
Not intrusive. No one dragged anywhere, and thanks for that.
Representatives of the massage parlor and the offer of excursions got a little bit. But I understand it's their job.
Construction is underway near the beach and, judging by the pace, it will continue for a couple more years. It is not audible in the construction rooms, but on the beach all day long the sound of hammering piles hits the brain.
The best pool at Sea Club is huge with different depths. The best bar in Sea Life - unlike the others, it works even after the sun sets (although it is written everywhere that only until sunset)
Shops pleased with their unobtrusiveness - no one sticks. I calmly went in and bought what I needed, but what about without souvenirs?
It is a pity that there is no fruit shop. I really wanted strawberries. They brought from the old city for $ 3 (at the airport $ 7)
Large, comfortable amphitheater. But I didn't see anything there. amateur shows.
Beautiful show - belly dance, and dervish dance near the lobby bar, but little space is hard to see.
When the sea was stormy we went to Shark Bay beach. Taxi $15 two way. The taxi driver brings, leaves and returns at the appointed time. Calculation upon arrival back.
Beach $ 3 per person if with a sunbed, we lay on the sand for free. The sea was absolutely calm. The reef is smaller, the fish are thinner.
Departure was at 6 am. In the evening we went to the reception to order dry rations, it turned out that our guide had already ordered.
In the morning they gave out a package - a bottle of water, 5 buns, cucumber, tomato, banana, cheese, honey.
Take salted fish and seeds (if you like), we drove, and everyone around was envious.
Summary - if you're lucky with the weather, then I can't imagine a better vacation.
