1) The hotel was chosen according to the following criteria: proximity to the city, low price.
2) We arrived at the airport at 16:20 - 16:30, at 17:00 we were already settled. The room is good, the volume of the TV was disappointing (limited in the middle), Russian programs cannot be heard lying on the bed if someone is washing in the bath. Audibility is very good (thin walls or just their material), but basically it didn’t interfere.
We were given a room in the main building overlooking the sea and another hotel, so there were no sounds of animation from our hotel (+ for those who go to bed before 23:30), and this view was also good because the sun did not shone in the windows of the room. Thick curtains deserve a separate plus (apparently from the shining sun).
3) The hotel area is not very large (I'm used to 5-cams and clubs), but quite green. Sunbeds on the sea are paid, but nothing prevents you from taking a sunbed by the pool, and going to the sea only to swim. A lot of greenery, which is very pleasing (after the stone moscow), fresh air. The temperature is 5 degrees lower than in the Mediterranean Sea (a huge plus in August, you won’t freeze, but you won’t die from the heat).
4) We took a hotel with dinner and breakfast. I strongly recommend not to refuse dinner (do not take it only with breakfast), as it is very tasty, meat dishes have never been repeated in a week (very surprised). Don't take lunch! The hotel is not designed for lunch. You can dine in any cafe, which are full around the hotel. The last days of the week I took pizza in a cafe opposite (a separate plus cafes on the good Internet, which will be discussed later). More details in paragraph 6.
For breakfast, you can drink coffee, tea, juices (powdered, but I'm used to it). At dinner, drinks are paid, which more than once managed to upset. Yes, do not go broke (probably), but banal water could already be provided for free. I liked that there were fruits for breakfast and dinner: in total I remembered oranges, bananas, apples (it seemed like there was something else), there were watermelons (not a fan, but many liked it).
5) Wifi is paid. I don’t remember the prices by heart, I only remember that 32 euros for unlimited access for a week. If you need fast high-quality Internet, you can take it, because 80% of hotel visitors are from the European Union and they do not have roaming (as a result, they do not buy Wifi). If you need to occasionally check your mail, social. networks or upload photos to Instagram, then you can use the Wifi of the following taverns: Time to Smile Bar with the password smile0123 (it often catches only when you sit inside it away from the entrance, it was in it that you ate pizza, very tasty), Kostas Taverna (password and the login is entered in the authorization form: 123 and 123, respectively) - you will find it if, after leaving the hotel, go left along the road; if you go a little further, that is, CASA italia free wifi without a password (I don’t remember the name by heart, I log in through Facebook).
6) In terms of lunch, I advise Time to Smile (opposite the hotel), Kostas Taverna (do not take a lot, the portions are large, the soup is almost without liquid), many still advise PLaton (the furthest from the hotel, walk about 7 minutes along the same road as to Kostas, always a lot of people in the evening)
7) Service in general has no complaints. Unless the cleaners of the main building have an interesting schedule that I didn’t recognize for a week, but they got to our room (248) around 14-16 hours (a wide spread), which sometimes prevented them from sleeping during the day (more precisely, there was a choice or guess what they cleaned up and go to bed, or immediately go to bed and score on cleaning). Drinks for breakfast and dinner are served quickly enough, due to the fact that people often eat gradually (2.5 hours for breakfast and dinner), and not by the whole crowd, as in some hotels (for example, club hotel turan prince).
8) Despite the fact that most of the minuses have already been discussed (not particularly emphasized, because they are not particularly important for me), the following things should be said: surfing for 5 days for two people cost about 500 euros (said by Russian vacationers), which for many it can be quite expensive; pebble beach, it was difficult for me personally to go into the sea, a lot of waves in July-August.
9) We got to the most important thing: entertainment. Not everyone likes 24/7 (just kidding, but for 9 hours of commercials) to lie on a sunbed near the sea / pool. Nothing happens until about 10 o'clock, then animation begins: boccia, even before that, volleyball, water gymnastics. And so on until 13:00. Continuation after lunch at 15:00 or 15:30. Water polo (the pool is shallow, so children play), table tennis (no tournaments, like in Cesars Temple), but it's free almost all day, take rackets and play, I don't know why it's on the schedule; at 16:30 volleyball again. In general, people come to play volleyball from all hotels if they don’t have people, so sometimes they played for 1.5 hours instead of 0.5 hours in the schedule. At the same time, a mini-club functions, but I don’t really know what they are doing there (the head of the mini-club does not fumble in Russian, so it’s a dubious idea for Russian children)
10) What to do in the evening? Eat, drink (just kidding) and dance. At 20:40 mini-disco (a standard set of songs from any 4-5 star hotel) with animators; at 21:40 show. for the week there were the following: karaoke, fire show, disco (real with all the equipment and a professional DJ), a kind of disco (just a competition in which you have to go dancing to the song you like, as well as turn in sheets, trying to guess which 3 songs will be the most popular reward - 2 cocktails for free), bingo (well, how without it), a competition between men and women (fun contests, but basically also nothing surprising in relation to other 4-5 star hotels) and a day off, in which people from parties (for example, a Greek night), or there may simply be nothing (the whole day all the games and entertainment in the evening fall on vacationers).
11) A few personal impressions: sometimes there are a lot of Russians (up to 20% of vacationers), and sometimes few, while for some reason some Russians do not try to find compatriots, thinking that this will resolve itself (they just go separately at all). I liked to communicate with foreigners, so there was no tension. If it is not so easy for you to make acquaintances (especially with foreigners), then I will not recommend this hotel: you may get bored. It’s easier then to find a hotel where at least 2 times more Russian speakers come (more common topics for discussion thanks to one mentality), because 4-star hotels are not designed for round-the-clock entertainment, you will need friends : )
