I gave a fairly high rating to the hotel, because I knew what I was signing up for and was not very disappointed. First of all, I compare it with Blue Horizon, because when choosing the price of a hotel, it was he who made the competition from the nearest hotels (and plus I went there a year earlier). I will leave the style of the review the same as on the review of a year ago about Blue horizon
1) Criteria for choosing a hotel: proximity to the airport and the city, the Aegean Sea (not very hot in August), good price and all inclusive
2) Since I didn’t see the point of taking any expensive rooms, I’ll tell you about the cheapest room (standard): you may have some minor external flaws in the room, but this is all tolerable and did not cause problems, the windows were towards the pool , room 413 (this is a plus - I caught wifi from the reception on the balcony), in all the more expensive rooms there are other buildings and Wifi should catch everyone, the standard is only for the lucky ones (me and another third of the building).
Each standard room is a two-room, contains a double bed in one room, two single beds in the other, there is a stove, sink and refrigerator (all this is outside the bathroom). Air conditioning, hair dryer, TV - working, bath not the most comfortable in terms of shower - you can not change its position (I mean take it in your hand and wash yourself), so be prepared. Around 17:30 - 18:00 hot water starts to run out, which is quite inconvenient.
3) Little greenery (not critical), the territory seems to be small, but it seems not. The fact is that part of the territory is abandoned (apparently the new owner has not yet found the money to equip it). If there was a whole territory - one could call it big enough, but not really, definitely not 5 *, 4 * even pulls. The beach is across the road, there are no inconveniences, sunbeds by the sea are free and you could always take them almost at lunchtime (you need to borrow by the pool until 7 in the morning, then there is no choice of more comfortable or less broken ones).
Although the buildings are located around the pool, the wind is still very strong, so sometimes they ask to close the umbrellas by the pool, otherwise they are blown away (there are no such problems at sea)
4) One of the decisive factors for the choice was, as mentioned earlier, the presence of all inclusive. The hotel played this card in a very interesting way: the dishes are quite few, but mostly they are tasty, so I am not at all surprised by the negative reviews about the food. There was what exactly I usually take in all hotels, but after all, all people are different. Vegetarians are strongly advised to walk past the hotel so as not to be disappointed in the small number of dishes (and so few, but for you everything can still be divided by 2).
From the point of view of drinks, I didn’t find any special problems: cola, fanta are not exactly diluted, beer and wine are cheap as always (even in cool hotels in Turkey, so you can’t put it in the minus), but heavy drinks are diluted with plenty of ice, I had no complaints about this , it was very hot, and coming up again or taking 2-3 servings at once is not at all a problem, since the long queues at the bar were a real rarity (usually it costs 3-4 people per pourer) and there is a limit on how many drinks in there was no one to take hands (although there was a recommendation from the main bar, but everyone safely scored on it). During the day they give ice cream, there were no crazy queues, within 5-7 minutes or faster you will get your ice cream. Bottled water is not given out, but if you give a bottle, then they will pour (water) into it, there were no problems with this, except try to pour no more than 0.5 liters, because liters and more do not always agree to pour.
Bottom line on food: small, but tasty, but you don’t have to spend money on drinks and food outside the hotel (relative to offers with half board). For me, a bold plus, despite all the criticism in other reviews
5) Wifi, as already mentioned, is quite fast, in standard rooms it is normally caught only on the balcony, if the room overlooks the pools, or in the room at an unpopular time (there are mikrotik routers, so they increase the signal range at low load). In the rest of the rooms, according to rumors, everything is perfect.
6) African Americans work as room service. In general, there are no complaints, they didn’t even always work according to the same schedule, so they cleaned the room every other day without falling into sleep hours (14-16). If anything, you can negotiate with them (they themselves suggested this, although I already left the hotel that day) and everything will be ok, so we leave this item in the black.
7) The beach is pebbly, not very easy to enter, special slippers were popular.
I was somewhat surprised by the lack of buoys.
8) The pools are unclear, but they are kept within the permissible limits, as I understand it, because once one pool was completely blocked and there was a direct unnatural color. At least no one had any massive problems (not even massive ones) because of swimming in the pools, although I understand that not everything is going smoothly in this regard.
p. s. an interesting idea - to make it possible in one of the pools to swim up to the bar and order something. Conveniently.
There are also separate water slides, they work from 12 to 15:30 and are located in a separate special pool
9) There is no entertainment, in short, in this regard, I was very upset.
There is volleyball on the beach, but no one gathers for it (as a result, no one plays), there is a table tennis table, there is a mini-football field on the abandoned part of the hotel (for those who like to climb over fences, there is a smaller fence from the side of the road, which parallel to the sea, did not see the guards). In fact, there is music by the pool, there is some kind of yoga (or something similar), mini-disco and live music in the evening, then, as I understand it, nothing. Someone wrote about the presence of some kind of disco after live music, but I have no idea where it is. After 11:30 pm everything was very quiet, and there was music in the neighboring hotels.
9a) Mostly families with children come and for good reason - the mini club functions quite well, so the children have something to do. The animator speaks Russian, so for Russian families with children this is a plus. As I understand it, due to the emphasis on families with children, there are special rooms and no discos for adults.
10) There are many Russians in the hotel, but almost all of them are families with children.
Really find a company
Bottom line: by no means 5 *, maximum 4 *. If you rate it as 4 *, then the rating is 7/10, as I put it. Simply because for the same money you simply won’t find 5 * hotels in the same hotel, that is, the hotel competes only with 4 * and the rating is relative to this. Regarding Blue horizon, everything loses so much, but everything changes with the fact that there are savings on food and drinks and you can go to hang out in ANY hotel nearby, because I didn’t see that any hotel had means of identifying guests. So you can go cheaper to dodeca in ol inclusive, and have fun in other hotels.
For lovers of outdoor activities: volleyball at 11 and 16 at the neighboring hotel sun beach resort (you can walk along the beach for 5 minutes slowly), they also have football at 16 o'clock (ask the animator where the field is). However, that hotel has a maximum of half board.
