I'll start this review with a promise to be as objective as I can.
Vacationers 2 families - 6 people - children 15 and 18 years old. ALL INCLUSIVE. From 31.07 to 10.08. 2013.


The tour was bought from News Travel. Flight Rose of the Winds. The meeting party of Beleon Tours. There are no complaints about any of the offices. Transfer to the hotel in brand new 17-month-old Mercy. An hour and a half at the hotel. Smart guides. They helped tourists in everything and everywhere (even to issue Tax Free). I won’t find fault with the fact that the guides in the hotel want to sell an excursion or a car for a “sooo” good price. Everyone wants to eat. If I were in their place, I would do the same. In general, for lazy people this is gut. The guide, as expected, is Russian-speaking. And in the hotel there are 2-3 people from the staff. Not much. Learn an imported language. In general, the "great and mighty" is rarely heard at the hotel. The hotel is a little expensive for a 4-room hotel and is positioned as a Vaterland hotel, maybe that's why there was no "tagil". And this is the most important thing. Believe! Seen enough!
Settlement. Quickly and efficiently. Thank you. They offered a better option than I wanted.
They see better. Rooms were given on the 1st floor. Side sea view. Closer to the beach. 609 and 610. The furniture is solid, as for a 4-room hotel, the bed is comfortable, the linen is snow-white, the floor is tiled. Only my wife didn't like the bathroom. The hair dryer is not “the one” and there is no shower cabin (spoiled). The rest of the comrades do not care, the main thing is everything is new, it works and is clean. The terrace is chic, LED TV set with one Russian channel. Home netbook + cable = leisure issue solved. The air conditioner is quiet. Comfortable and well installed. The card does not turn off electricity. The minibar is empty. Yes and well...
Wifi (you can’t say otherwise) is rather weak. Especially busy in the evenings. Tolerable in the morning and afternoon. One day did not work - something broke.
Cleaning. Cinema and more. Cleaned up not bad. Every day wet cleaning. On time order in the morning. Conveniently. Every day to the bathroom 1E. Somehow forgot to put it in. There are no towels. Sent Kinder for analysis. The maid apologized wildly. I forgot. Maybe so. We are all human.
And the rest no complaints. Beach towels were regularly left on the floor. And baths as they get dirty. We think about the environment. Replacement without problems.

Beach. And the beach is great. Two sun loungers and an umbrella - 5E. relatively new, comfortable. Even when the hotel is full, there are free. An unspoken division: western Europe by the pool (max depth 160cm, there is a fenced small children's section, there is no smell of bleach), and eastern Europe at the sea. But there were also exceptions. Sand. And sand in the sea. Beach extreme rental nearby. 10 days red flag. Amazing. We fooled around in 5 days (5 rode around the island) in the waves I don’t want to. Children bought surfboards for 10E - they were worn out. Rescuers ply on a quadric along the beaches of 4 hotels at once. They don't sit still. I saw their work. Well done. Pumped out. Pedlars are present. But not sticky like in Yegi or Turkey. Almost all of them are dark. They wear the same snack. In general, it does not bother.
Convenient beach washing for legs and not only.
Nutrition. I didn’t fully understand what was included in the olink, but it’s gut. Wine, beer, coffee, tea on tap. Natural juices, ice cream is better than average. The choice of dishes for 4ki is awesome and of high quality. Separate respect and respect for the woman who runs the restaurant. Duracel. I didn't see her standing, much less sitting. Good girl. Solves any requests and questions within reason. Very correct. You just need to treat people like human beings. You will receive the same in return. If for some reason you miss lunch - until 19.00 the day before at the reception, order lunch boxes, withdrawal from 7.00 in the restaurant. Conveniently. Lunch will not replace, but you can kill a worm. Separately, I will say about the bar at the reception. Very pleasant staff. Cocktails and the rest, as they say, qualitatively and in a row. I did not notice racial discrimination, as they like to exaggerate this topic in reviews. Maybe he didn't look.
Animation. The hotel is calm. After 24.
00 peace and quiet (if there is no storm). But there was a little relaxation entertainment. One evening sax. Other national dances, songs, round dances, etc. Every evening and night the children went to the neighboring hotels for "parties". They say it's not bad in vantaris 5ke, but at 3.00 they were in the rooms.
Kavro promenade across the road. 5-6 taverns. Wasn't in one. I will not pass gossip. 5-6 markets. Purchases for the car were made in Inca. The main assortment is larger and the price is slightly lower.
Car rental. Office 4 pieces. Prices are about the same. The terms of the lease are the same. The car we needed (7-seat mechanical) was found on the 4th day at an interesting "Frä ulein". 300E for 5 days + full insurance + gasoline. Skated without problems. Passed the same.
I will not describe the rally around the island. The review is for the hotel. There will be questions. I'm not too lazy, I'll answer.
