This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel with our children. There was a break last year. We chose the month of August. Rooms were booked in advance with the help of Greek tour operators. In general, we were satisfied with the prices and, moreover, we were pleased with the discounts for children. Kazakh tour operators do not offer discounts (I can’t speak for everyone, but many of them amazed me with their “flexible” approaches). For me, the duration and schedule of the flight mattered and matter. In general, it turned out to be cheaper to rest longer than to withstand the number of days that was expected. Met and settled in the room without delay, although I saw in the lobby waiting for their turn. Maybe lucky, but all three times were perfect in this regard. It is important for me, because I was traveling alone with two children (11 and 5 years old) and the flight was long. We arrived at the room in the first hour, we wanted to have a bite to eat at a late dinner, but it didn’t work out - an unpleasant surprise. We ran to the sea and greeted the pools - I immediately noted that the beach and the territory are much cleaner this year. And there are much more people, even for the evening time. My family is lazy, so I had no special expectations in connection with free sunbeds. However, they have always been. In any case, there were sunbeds standing on the sidelines. I marked it as a convenience. Because I could put it where I want. Unfortunately, I can’t share the features of holidays on catamarans, boats, etc. , since the family structure determined the types of holidays. Absolutely amazed by the number of people. In 2008, we "coincided" with some kind of French conference and had the same problems - an abundance of people in the dining room, a lack of towels at the time, but if it didn't "break" to stand, then they brought the next batch. The dining room is similar. Although there are exceptions - if all the glasses are used, then it took a long time to wait. The only really unpleasant surprise for me was the lack of coffee for dinner. 3.50 times 20 days. A trifle, but with a sediment. At the same time, I always take - all inclusive, so as not to suffer with children on the beach. There might indeed be no food if you came towards the end of dinner. . I asked the staff about the reasons, they embarrassedly answered that there were a lot of people (they didn’t calculate their strength))). I began to come with the children a little earlier and everything was fine. True, there was a shortage of donuts. It can be seen from greed, it became noticeable that we take more than we eat. In general, the food is delicious, there is something to choose for both children of different ages and adults. But there are no special delicacies. Fruits are clean, not sweet, not ripe, but always available. Oranges are wonderful. Watermelon - fine (it's clear that it's not for everyone). We did not take ice cream often, but I note that the kids are distinguished by a special "liberty". Well, then they are kids. The service in the restaurant got worse. I can say for sure that those waiters whom I saw here not for the first time worked well, attentively. The new ones are, to put it mildly, worse. I will definitely note (may my compatriots forgive me) - in mid-August, Italian families left and our vacationers arrived. . . Swimming in the sea has become dangerous - for some reason, a huge number of "boaters, catamarans and motorcyclists" showing off in front of vacationers on the beach. I myself am a fan of such a holiday, but before the arrival of our tkrists, this was not the case. Everyone moved towards the island of the turtle or in the gap between the two beaches - Sithonia and Meliton. We withstood two days, and then oil stains began to settle on the son's legs and we smoothly moved to the pools. The same is good, but then we went to the sea. To be honest, it wasn't pleasant. Maybe you need to organize special routes and read a special course for those who want to ride, but, in my opinion, the hotel's fault is at least here. Just a special attitude, well. By the end of the season, they got a pool near the bar (it took a long time to buy a new filter). I like the hotel - for families with children. Quiet, calm, measured. Water, nature, air are exceptional. There is no exotic. The service is not designed for a very large number of tourists. Yes, and the crisis, of course, affects. I know that there are more exotic places and more luxurious service, but. . . for all the complexity of the situation (two mobile children), I myself managed to relax =))) I wish you the same. I recommend.
