We got to this hotel by accident - already at the airport the representative of our tour operator was "delighted" that there were no places in the hotel we ordered, and that we were being settled in Samara. But in Samara, as it turned out, with free rooms was strained. Therefore, in the first three days we changed three rooms in three different buildings. But now I can reason more objectively and compare about the situation in this hotel : ).
The territory of the hotel is spacious, beautiful and well-groomed. Captivated by the variety of plants! It is a pity that the outdoor pool is essentially one (let's not count the tiny paddling pool for kids) and small. And there are a lot of people! It's far enough to the beach. . .
The staff speaks French, English, many in German. In Russian - almost no one. But knowing the basics of English, it is quite possible to explain.

The beach is private, closed at night. Lunch is served on the beach too. Inexpensive sun loungers. The beach is sandy, the entrance to the sea is mostly sandy too. But there may be sharp large stones...
The rooms are clean enough, but the cleaning in them is something! If the maid came to clean up, then be so kind as to free the room right at this time! Or, for a small fee, she will get out of there herself - but she will not return on this day !! ! This pissed me off the most! The rooms are very different - there are self-catering apartments, there are regular standard rooms, and something similar to "superior rooms". Hairdryer is not available everywhere. Air conditioning works one for two rooms with grief in half. At night, we were suffocating from stuffiness, trying to turn it on to the maximum. Half an hour later, the neighbors came out and set it to a minimum. All rooms have TVs (we did not find Russian channels). Linen and towels are changed regularly, soap, shampoo, toilet paper is always available.
The food is very plentiful, but monotonous, a little tasty... You can have lunch in a restaurant, near the pool, and on the beach - it's very convenient.
Animation - monotonous and boring.
Prices for excursions are the same everywhere. Moreover, it is quite possible to replace one excursion with another if something does not work out (of course, by contacting a little in advance).
As for me, the rest in this hotel is more suitable for families with children, or those who need a quiet, relaxing holiday. I was bored. . .
