The reef is beautiful and worth the trip! Warm calm weather, warm water, fish - everything is wonderful. Wonderful diving with Alena - thank you very much for the pleasure. If your interests are diving, this is the place for you! Diving for beginners 25-30 dollars, but if you have a group, there may be discounts. Diving from boats 60. Great places and great instructors. If diving in the reserve, $7 per person plus. Well, baksheesh)
We went in a group, the hotel was chosen by the head (had been here before). They asked to settle nearby, but there was no standard nearby. They offered an improved $ 10 for an extra charge, with a sea view 25, a two-story 40. As a result, they settled someone where. Those who were settled in two-story apartments, then paid extra and stayed in them. For delivery to the room, the keykeeper took a dollar, for the delivery of things the porter took another dollar. The neighbors did not have small dollars, they gave the key keeper "for two". He, of course, took it, and immediately the porters began to ask for "their own". They took it in hryvnia. : )
We had the most standard 450. The doors in the toilet did not close, the table was glued together, there was a torn pillow on the chair. But the bed is clean, towels, though old, but also clean and changed every day. For a dollar. When the dollar was not left, there were two towels out of 4, but the room was cleaned constantly, although swans and flowers appeared only after the dollar ???? . The cleaner insistently asked for baksheesh.

The dining room staff is selectively friendly. In the morning, in line for an omelette, a pretty girl stood in front of her husband, who liked the distributor. He smiled sweetly with her, then asked to take her photo, leaving her husband's frying pan. The girl poorly understood what he wanted from her, and while they were accommodating, the queue was waiting for a couple of minutes. The husband was indignant, the girl flew away, the distributor put on a mask of impenetrability. But really it should be noted very correct and polite managers of the hall - professionals.
Dinner starts at 7 pm, and by this time a crowd of people who want to get a “delicacy” is gathering at the door - this mainly concerns fresh tomatoes, melons, guava and boiled cauliflower, but the rest, in principle, was enough for those who cannot stand the crush and comes later. The food was quite decent, for every taste - meat (mostly beef, but once caught lamb), fish (poorly cooked), chicken. Fresh, boiled vegetables, rice with various additives (very tasty), potatoes. Lots of buns and pastries.
Drinks are standard consumer goods. Beer is not bad. The alcohol that is offered in the "all inclusive" is absolutely impossible to drink. Wishing you a good visit with you.
The beach is average. There were enough umbrellas, as the occupancy of the hotel was far from full. Tapchans are good. Towels are provided at the pool. If you ask for something on the beach, be prepared for the answerer or helper to tell you how good he is until you understand and don't give a dollar.
Animators are very active on the beach - gymnastics, aqua gymnastics, dancing, children's disco, costume performances. They also collect for evening discos in other hotels.
Massage and SPA manager Abdullah is very active. He is charming, speaks good Russian and actively promotes programs to pay for, for example, from 5 general massages. The massage costs 20 dollars total and 10 back. If you pay for the course, be prepared for the fact that the last massages will be short and not at all the same as the first enticing ones. If a man massages you, it is better if it is on the beach and in the presence of your husband. The girl who gave Abdullah a massage at the spa said he took liberties "out of the best of intentions. " After her indignation, he apologized, and the last massage instead of 40 minutes was 15. So be careful.

Bazaars in the city in the evening. It is necessary to bargain, and it is better with local pounds in hand. They have more options. It is better for girls not to go to the market by themselves.
But, if you take into account all the "little things" and do not pay attention to minor inconveniences, the nature and beauty of the sea pays for everything.
Have a good rest everyone!
