Liked the hotel. Very nice large well-groomed territory, a beautiful path with palm trees and flowers leads to the beach. The hotel itself is on the beach. Two large pools - one with slides (there are five of them) and children's paddling pools and one for adults with a depth of 1.70 to 3.70 m. There is an indoor pool in case of bad weather. Two tennis courts, a football ground (children played with passion), golf courses, outdoor tables for table tennis.
In general, the hotel is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts - animators (and there are a lot of them - we counted 26 people) actively offer aqua gymnastics, and stretching, and darts, and archery, and water polo, and bochu, and ping-pong, and basketball and generally entertain tourists with pleasure. And although there is only one Russian-speaking animator, Lilya, the children understand other animators quite well, feeling a great attitude towards themselves.
The hotel is only the second year accepts Russian tourists, mostly Italians, Germans, Dutch, French. But almost all the animators try to speak at least a little Russian with you - they say hello, wish you a pleasant appetite, ask how you are. Evening animation is a separate conversation. At first, like everywhere else, a nursery is run by two twin brothers Chris and Kros. Children adore them - they themselves dance so contagiously that even our boys, who are 10 years old and who tried to pretend on the first day that they are already adults, went to dance. If any child approached the edge of the stage (and there are a lot of children - from babies in strollers to 15-16 years old), the animators even felt it with their backs and ran to help them get down.

In general, a touching attitude towards children (regardless of nationality) is a hallmark of this hotel. Animation program for adults is a show - different every day (only repeated every three weeks) with costumes and great staging. A lot of humor - the guys animators are all young - they have fun from the heart. I would like to mention our Russian animator Lilya - a very charming and attentive person. And the good attitude towards the Russians in the hotel is to some extent due to the very good attitude of other animators towards Lila. Gorgeous in the productions of Dali, Zhizhi, Ayen, Timo, Steps, David. In general, all the animators are great. They work from early morning until late at night.
About nutrition - every day is almost the same, but the choice is sufficient. At lunchtime and in the evening, always grilled or tuna or chicken. Meat - always chicken, turkey, fish (tuna and some other), beef (or lamb). Always french fries and stew, stewed (carrots, cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, onions) and fresh (cucumbers, tomatoes, two types of cabbage, onions, radishes, peppers) vegetables. Variety of vegetable salads. Several types of pasta with different sauces (a lot of Italians, it seems), pizzas. Soups - mashed potatoes or with pasta or croutons - one view at lunch and in the evening. Fruits - in the morning, at lunch, in the evening - were peaches, apricots, melons, there was always a watermelon. For breakfast, they fried pancakes and scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs (optional), three types of cereal, dried apricots, raisins, prunes, cottage cheese, two types of yogurt, four types of pudding, halva, many different jams, sausages, sausage, several varieties of cheese. And what I really liked - in the morning, and at lunch, and in the evening, and at the animation in the bar until 24 o'clock hot milk (since there are many small children and pregnant women). Delicious pastries (6-7 types) and croissants (4 types), very tasty bread (also several types). For children, juices (not freshly squeezed, but not frank Jupi like in Turkey), dry white, red and rose wine (very decent, bottled). I really liked the beer - recalls Miller. From their strong vodka, booze, vermouth, they make various cocktails. Of course, there are no imported liquors, whiskey, cognac - but the hotel is 3 stars.
About the rooms - the main disadvantage of the hotel is the building itself, or rather its corridors. They are like our hospitals - narrow, long and dark. Therefore, the hotel has three stars - the building must be completely demolished - otherwise you will not redo it. The rooms are normal, painted in different colors, there is a bath, hair dryer, TV, air conditioning, a balcony with chairs and a table, a telephone. They cleaned every day at a convenient time - once they came when the children were sleeping - they apologized and came later. Towels were changed every day - 2 per person - bath and for hands - and one on the floor for feet. A towel for the beach is issued on bail - $ 10 - you leave, hand over the towel and get your money back. You can change it to a clean one every day.
A security guard is always on duty on the beach - keeping local merchants away - plus a horse-drawn militia rides along the entire coast. There are enough sunbeds and umbrellas - we always had enough whenever we came.

Slides work for several hours before lunch and after lunch - the children are very happy. In general, the hotel left a very pleasant impression, the only thing was unlucky with the weather - it was 20C, then it reached 31C. But the breeze was blowing and it felt cooler - in the evening you had to put on sweaters or windbreakers after dinner. But they swam every day and managed to get a good tan and even burn out. I recommend the hotel for a family vacation - the children will be entertained there and you yourself will be able to take a break from them (from the children! ).
