I apologize in advance for possible errors. I am writing a review on a tablet on my knees right from the hotel. The hotel is average. Not posh. Weird 4. Its main advantage is the internal territory and architecture (planning and spread of premises). The hotel itself is located in the southwest of the island and it takes 45-60 minutes by taxi from the southern airport. Taxi costs 51 € according to the taximeter. Landing immediately 3.05 € and at the end of the journey, taxi drivers sometimes press a secret button on the taximeter and the amount jumps 4 € up. Fraud is okay. At the airport, you need to follow the Taxi sign and there you will see white Mercedes cars on the site. They do not name the price, but if you immediately indicate to them 50 €, they will agree. Near the hotel in 5 minutes walk there is a city public beach with black and hot sand and there are always waves. You won't be able to shop in quiet mode. Children are dangerous. There are a lot of stones under water and people get a lot of injuries. These are not the beaches of Egypt, Turkey or Tunisia. Black sand surprises at first, after it strains, because after swimming it is everywhere in your swimming trunks and priests. And it doesn't wash out. Things are ruined by him. . Therefore, it is better not to wear expensive swimwear there. The sand itself is very hot. You will have to run along it like on coals. Near the sea it is cool to the feet. The sea itself is clean 5 meters from the shore with bubbling sand. The sand itself is heavy and washed off poorly. There is nowhere to wash off the sand in the beach area, it is very inconvenient. There are a couple of taps with a sluggish pressure and a queue of people. We did so, we bought a children's mini-pool and a couple of buckets. They collected water from the sea and washed it outside the beach. The ocean air is great. Everyone screams from the waves and falls. Fun. But there is zero infrastructure. Everything beach can be bought in shops near the hotel and the beach. It’s not worth bringing beach personal belongings with you, there is only one advantage. You can also go down to the sea from the territory of the hotel by elevator. Entrance and exit on the map of the hotel. You can't take out hotel-type towels, they take them out anyway. The pools are not bad. There are 3 of them, 2 are common with a depth of 1.36 m. Another is for children up to 60 cm. At the children's slide. The slide is not bad for non-extreme children. The water there is not clean and there is a lot of bleach. It is written that one pool is heated, but in July the water in 2 pools was the same. We thought so. The pools are very noisy. . Animation from 10 to 12 - you will not rest calmly. Children and adults there go crazy from rest and as a result, no one around is resting. Sunbeds must be borrowed from 7 in the morning. They won't be here by 9:00. But you can sit on the chairs in the cafe-bar. There is grub by the pool, not healthy and not fresh. Drinks shaft. Beer from the machine. At the pool bar they can ask for an all-inclusive bracelet, and so there is a mess in this regard. In my opinion, who without All Inclusive also quietly enjoys these opportunities. After the pool, as always, a bunch of acne and inflammation for many. After the sea, only fatigue. And everything heals. As for food, I will say this: stupid catering and different visions of cooking among the Spaniards and the Slavs. They don't know how to cook meat. Dry and hard. We had to guard the meat ourselves and ask the cook to give a piece of undercooked. And so, overdried meat will put it in batter the next day, it’s easy. A lot of uneaten food goes to the next entry of the eatery. Food for 3. Not enough tables. I had to stand in line. Or sit down at a dirty table and wait for it to be cleaned. Many things are not tasty. Delicious - cheeses, ice cream, fruits, potatoes. Sweets are delicious too. Drinks from vending machines for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, they must be ordered from the waiters. The dishes are not cleaned very quickly. Sterility in cleaning was not observed. Soups are awful. It is better not to let the child go for food - they will crush and pour sauces over them. At lunch, look at your chairs before you sit down. There are wet after cultural vacationers in wet swimsuits. Small spoons are in short supply. Men are required to wear trousers and t-shirts for dinner. Although no one has tested this question. I will say this to the public: a lot from Poland and the Czech Republic, the Polish tour operator almost bought the hotel and there are a lot of noisy Poles. not much from the Russian Federation and Ukraine. And dofiga Spaniards are "not the elite" of the nation. Who is a noisy and uncultured segment. In general, not all cultured and quiet. This question strains and the Russians and Ukrainians behaved more politely and calmly. The rest of the nations are like civilized "collective farmers-provincials". It was tense. Uncomfortable. Germans, English, French a little. About numbers. We have changed a few. First settled on the odd side on the 5th floor with a view of the mountains, the construction site and other hotels. And on the road. Sleep was not possible. Noise and music from neighboring hotels until 3 am and drunken and noisy Spaniards walk along the road at night and yell. There was no sleep. The room itself on the odd side is not bad and comfortable. Then, at our request, they moved us with a surcharge of 6 € per day to a room with a view of the inner territory and pools and the sea and the city. Quiet. Sleep really cool with an open balcony without air conditioning. Mosquitoes eat and bite the child often. Take fumigators. The numbers on the even side are dumb and smaller. Noise from our hotel until 12 at night then silence and the sound of the sea. No cleaning in the rooms. They don't read signs. Bedding is changed every 7 days. More towels. Linen and towels are torn. The balconies are large with a marquise canopy. And there is a dryer and a table with chairs on the balcony. TVs in the room are old. My hope for an iPad HDMI connection was dashed. although in Booking the photo was with plasma. The container worked fine. But he should put it on the position from 10 to 15 gr. Then he worked. Passed out after 25. Water pressure is normal. The beds are awfully quiet. Everything creaks and the back falls off. Roller beds. You move, they move. The pillows are uncomfortable. Floor tiles. There are no slippers. They say it's more profitable to pay extra for food on the spot. From BB/HB to All incl -18/10€ per person per day. It seems to me that you can do without lunch, have a late breakfast, then a snack bar by the pool for a snack, and come early for dinner and there are also soups, breakfasts from 7 to 10-30, lunch from 13 to 15-30, dinner from 19 to 22 We visited Junglepark, it's cool. A taxi from the hotel costs 40 € one way. We visited Aqualand and didn't like it. There are very few umbrellas in a large area and everyone is under the scorching sun. The locals take all the good places from 10 o'clock and all of you without umbrellas. The slides themselves are of poor quality and traumatic. In the children's sectors, dirty water and bad lifts. Slippery. It takes about 30 minutes by taxi from the hotel for 27 € and the entrance itself is 25 €. They didn’t go to the dolphin show, because of the heat it became uncomfortable to go to this show at 15-30 and then get under the mass exit from the park and the lack of taxis. The road itself around the island is tiring because of the many climbs and serpentines. And swaying and straining. Nothing to look out the window. Landscapes are not rosy. The poor and burned out. I won't go here for the second time. The island itself is disappointing. The service did not please, the general feeling is a rip-off without service. In other countries and hotels you can find a better option. If anyone wants to ask a question about the hotel, write to ivanspb@mail. ru, there will be time to answer. I hope this review will be useful for future guests of this hotel.
