Новый год в этом отеле New Year in this hotel

We have been staying at this hotel since December 16.2011. to January 07.2012 (21 days). The hotel is very reminiscent of a German boarding house for old people. Lots of retirees and families. Many Germans, there are French, there were several pairs of Englishmen, Russians 4-5 pairs with children. The hotel is located very far from the center. Although there is a bus stop nearby. By taxi to Los Crestianos 15 euros, to Playa Las Americas 10 euros. Entertainment program every evening, someone sang, German couples danced with stone faces, for children the show is the same every day. One time parrot show and fashion show. Every day they had something going on with the electronic key system, it was impossible to get into the room, they constantly had to remagnetize the card. And on New Year's Eve, when we arrived at 4 in the morning, it was not possible to get in again and at the reception they told us to sleep on the couch. We arrived in shock. Then one craftsman from the reception got into the window opening with a screwdriver and let us in those tourists who came after one in the morning. Those who entered the room before 1 a. m. slept and did not suspect anything that if they left in the morning, it was not clear when they would get back. And many tourists left the windows open in order to climb through the window later. We took half board, the food is monotonous. They paid 97 euros for the New Year's dinner, but it was not worth it, they paid 67 euros for Catholic Christmas (they laid red tablecloths on the table, distributed 2 glasses of water and wine each, and then the whole evening they were urging that everything needed to be prepared soon for the second batch of people, alone with 18.30 to 20.00 then half an hour break and started the second batch of people from 20.30 to 22.00), as everywhere in Europe, drinks at dinner are paid water 1.50 euros and wine 1.40 euros. At 21.00, the entire fishing village was dying out, if you want to relax in silence with pensioners, then you are there. If you want to shop and hang out then this is not the place for you. Yes, they forgot to tell about the ocean, the water was 18-19 degrees, cool, but we bought it. The coast is disgusting next to the hotel, cobblestones, stones, it takes 20 minutes to walk to a good Del Duca beach, but in the heat you don’t really want to walk like that. Two swimming pools in the hotel, one heated, everyone swam in it. Moreover, the fire alarm went off several times, so loudly, they didn’t know what to grab bags or run like that. And you know, even though the towels were changed every day.
