There is a lot of text, as the review will be detailed. I'll break it down into points.
1. Meeting at the airport.
The tour operator of the host groans we had Fleshtour. They met us with a sign and showed us where the bus was. Right there at the exit, we bought an Orange card. 20 GB for $ 10 (we had enough for 9 days, taking into account that my husband was constantly on video calls). The bus ride to the hotel took 20 minutes.
Score on a 10 point scale - 9
2. Location
Gorgeous!! ! First, I would even say the zero line from the sea. The old town was a 20 minute walk from us. As we walked we saw a beautiful view of the mountains. Taxi costs to the old town $2 per car. That is, if it’s not expensive to go, it’s not expensive). The hotel is located next to the Italian district of Il Mercato. And next to it is the restaurant Fares. There are McDonald's and CFS along the way for fast food lovers.

3. Settlement

We arrived at the hotel at 9 am, settled us almost immediately, although the check-in time is from 14.00. We were immediately given a room on the second line of our territory (there are 2 lines of the hotel - by the sea - the first, the second is higher. ) In my opinion, the number was 6614, the view was on the wall of the neighboring hotel, which upset us. We were ready for a surcharge, so we went to the front desk, gave $ 20 and we were settled in a room with a gorgeous view of the pool, show program and the sea, it was very nice. Things were brought by a porter, demanding $ 5 at once, but some tourists simply ignore and give a maximum of $ 1.

4. Numbers
The first thing that came into view was the dead furniture, the room was not clean. Dusty and dirty. Slightly torn curtains and tulle. Closet doors were opened by force. When cleaning the room, they changed bedding and towels, washed the floors a little. We tip the cleaner for $1. but that was our wish. Cleaned rarely at our request, this was not necessary. Cleanliness is not very good. TV was old not plasma. There were 8 channels, two of them were Ukrainian, the rest were local. But since we did not come to watch TV, it suited us. The bathroom had only liquid soap and shower gel or shampoo. Standard set of towels, hair dryer, safe, refrigerator.
A huge minus of the room is that there was no main light in the room, there were only 3 floor lamps.
On the balcony there were 2 plastic chairs and a table with an ashtray. We had a lot of mosquitoes so bring your own bite repellent.

5. Nutrition
Buffet system 3 times a day. Diverse but similar).
Breakfast included scrambled eggs, donuts, salads, pancakes, chocolate jam, marmalade, yoghurts, cereals with milk or yogurt, cocoa, coffee (not tasty), tea, yupi, water, beer, wine (disgusting).
For lunch and dinner - there were 10 types of meat for the entire holiday. Give 2 kinds per day. There was chicken of various preparations, nuggets, lamb, veal, fish, meatballs, burger cutlets, kebab. Side dishes were for every taste, rice (5 different types), pasta, spaghetti, potatoes, lentils, steamed vegetables, grilled vegetables, beans, various baked platters, soups (3 types), a lot of different vegetables, salads, salad dressings (liquid curd salads). There were few fruits, there were only oranges, melon, guava and dates. A lot of sweets, but I didn’t like them, the same type of biscuit with different spreads on top. Sometimes there was a panna cotta (a bit bitterly).
Score on a 10 point scale - 7
6. Sea

A definite plus. The view is chic. A lot of fish, beautiful corals, be sure to take it with you or buy a mask and special shoes for corals there. Since you can go into the sea from the shore, but there are a lot of sea urchins. The pontoon is stable, but at once it was a little unusual to walk on it) You get used to it gradually.
Score on a 10-point scale - 9.5
7. Service
Service is average. At any opportunity, they ask for $1. Room cleaning, something to file, do, bring. Attitude after $ 1 immediately changes for the better.
Score on a 10 point scale - 5
8. Entertainment
In the morning exercises, aqua aerobics, in the evening animations with children, and an evening performance. If you want to go to a disco, then there is a disco hall on the lower floor.
Score on a 10 point scale - 6
9. Excursions
We were just driving passively to rest, but we had heard about the divorce of the guide on the tour. We have not observed anything of the kind. We said right away that we do not want to go on an excursion, we were warned that if we change our mind, we will contact the guide. Separately, I want to highlight our guide Timur. The attitude towards us was excellent, he gave a lot of useful advice, without asking for it, as there is an acceptable $ 1, he was not intrusive. Helped with any questions.
Score on a 10-point scale - did not go,
guide - 10.
10. Alcohol.
We want to devote a separate item to alcohol.
The husband on the first day tried everything that was given at the bar, after the first sip he immediately poured everything except beer) It was just disgusting. No matter how rum and cola interfered, or tried whiskey and cola, just a nightmare, not booze. I tried to beg the bartender for at least some cocktail, he agreed with grief in half and made syrup + gin + soda + whiskey, it tastes like it. I drank 2 times and that's it.
