We flew with some excitement, because few people wrote about the weather, and also worried about the political situation in the country. We arrived at the hotel around 7pm. At the reception, they immediately hinted at a present if we wanted a good room, but we said that we would thank you when we left, and we did the right thing. We were given two adjacent rooms near the reception and the main restaurant, which, during the inspection, turned out to be adjacent (there are two doors between them). The rooms themselves did not impress, rather old, incomprehensible uncomfortable layouts, the bathrooms resemble Soviet ones, but we flew in to relax and gain positive, so we tried not to bother about this.
I immediately liked the territory, very green, beautiful, clean, oriental flavor is very clearly visible. After settling in, we went for dinner, which also pleased us with an abundance of delicious dishes, several types of meat, I confess that we did not expect. I will say that everything is ok with food there, there is a lot of things for every taste. Breakfasts did not differ in variety, but lunches and dinners were constantly with new dishes, on the last evening there was a dinner of Slavic cuisine with an interesting musical program. There are two heated pools on the territory, one is large, the other is a paddling pool, my daughter swam a couple of times, we preferred the sea.
The beach is small (but a big plus is windless), the entrance to the sea is in slippers, a lot of stones, but it’s a very interesting underwater world, especially when the tide is out, the water goes down a few meters and everyone in a known position studies the seabed. There is a drawback - there is a boathouse nearby station, every morning smells of gasoline, exhaust fumes. We came to the beach around 8.30 and always took sunbeds near the sea. The excitement on the beach began after 10. The weather - from 8 am to 17 warm, in the afternoon it is generally hot, the sun is scorching, that we had to hide in the shade. The sea is warm 22-25 degrees, swimming is comfortable. After 17 it got dark and cold, we went in jeans and warm sweaters.

Room cleaning - you can say that it was not there, although each time they left $ 1, the cleaner took him away, made the bed and that's it....There were cases that he forgot to bring shampoos, towels, he had to run around looking for him in the building. We ate at the Citadel and Le Dome restaurants, in Le Dome the service is much better, no delays, at the entrance they asked how many devices to put. In the Citadel, everything is the other way around, we had to look for chairs ourselves, we couldn’t interrogate the wine, we can say that ignorance was felt. The waiters looked out for the elderly frau with a trained eye and simply lined up in front of them, as if the rest did not exist.
Entertainment - in the Citadel restaurant during dinner for 4 days, a saxophonist, I think on the fifth he would have been thrown tomatoes, and 3 times there were dance groups (it was more fun). There was also some kind of entertainment program in the evenings, we went once - everything was in German. We were looking for entertainment for ourselves, a couple of times we went to the Ali Baba hookah on the roof of the main restaurant, for $ 3 we smoked an excellent hookah in a pleasant atmosphere, the hookah man is a very nice guy, restrainedly friendly, unlike the rest of the hotel staff.
In general, we are satisfied with the rest, we arrived tanned and rested. I think that this hotel may not correspond to 5 *, but it fully justifies its cost.
