Красивый остров и его арифметика A beautiful island and its arithmetic

I want to immediately thank everyone who writes objective positive and negative reviews - this helped me make the right choice of the hotel, food system and room. I won’t describe the beauty of the island and the ocean, a lot has been written about this and it’s all true.
They get to the island by boats and boats. By time on a small speedboat 15 minutes, on a larger boat -25 minutes.
Rooms and beach: The best location is at the beach bungalows from 304 to 320. Everything is nearby: the main restaurant, and the bar where shows are held, and the pool, and the pier, and water sports. The only thing is that in rooms 319 and 320 you can hear the disco louder. We lived in 318, she did not interfere with our sleep (with the window open). And most importantly, here is the coolest beach. Gentle entrance, low tides are almost imperceptible (on the other sides, the situation is much worse, and on some it is absolutely terrible). When I was driving, I was worried about swimming in the ocean from the point of view of its inhabitants (I can’t relax when sharks, rays, etc. swim around me). That's just on our beach no one swims around you (fish do not count). On our side, there are all the inhabitants of the ocean, but they are concentrated closer to the breakwaters and it is easy to swim to them, but they do not interfere with swimming.

Prices: We took FB (breakfast + lunch + dinner) and did not lose compared to ALL (all inclusive). The difference in price for a ticket was 1360 dollars (all inclusive is more expensive). In fact, we spent about 700 dollars on alcohol. Although the hotel initially states that on FB drinks are included only at breakfast, in fact water is included in lunch and dinner (also a 1 liter bottle of water per person is added daily in the room for free). Free tea and coffee in the room. This is quite enough. So it makes no sense to overpay for ALL. Moreover, on ALL they give only homemade wine from wines (I drink only wine, so I can only compare it), which is sold on FB for 6.1 dollars. per glass (in a glass at best 150g, but most likely 100-120g. ). In the minibar in the room there are small bottles of Chile wine 187 gr for $ 7.32, but believe me, this is heaven and earth to taste and the price is more profitable. The same is with beer in a mini-bar, a can of beer 0.33 -4.88 dollars, and in restaurants and bars bottled beer (there is no keg) 0.33 - from 7.32 dollars to 12 dollars. I give prices approximately taking into account 22% (taxes and service). Wine in a bottle at the bar in the menu is declared from 25 dollars + 22%, but in fact there are only from 40 + 22%. There were prices in an Italian restaurant: pasta with seafood -32 dollars + 22%, pizza with seafood -28 dollars + 22%. , tomato puree soup -12 dollars + 22%, ice cream -7 dollars + 22%, fresh juices from 3 to 7 dollars +22%. I must say everything was very tasty. But be sure to check the bill - we were charged extra on drinks. I drew their attention - they fixed it, but as they say, the sediment remained. It should be noted that if you take pasta or pizza not with seafood, it will be cheaper from 18 dollars + 22%. Lunch at the main restaurant (buffet) costs $55 per person. The food, although it varies, is mostly Asian. Delicious desserts, pancakes, pancakes, waffles, a la shawarma. The price for a late check out in our 318 was $98. There are categories of rooms where late check-out is $50. Tip - do not buy SIM cards - the Internet is available almost everywhere and it is enough to use it. A big plus: in the main restaurant for the duration of your stay, a table is assigned to you, next to the bungalow, sunbeds are assigned to you. In conclusion, I want to say - it's very cool there, plan carefully and you won't regret it.
