A VERY big disadvantage of the beach is that the door to it closes at 7 pm, it's very early. It is completely unclear why this is being done, when it is still light until 8.8-30. Yes, and in the dark, too, you can swim, it's shallow there. The beach opens at 5 am (just before dawn).
There were jellyfish, they are more like algae, very small and inconspicuous. Bites from them, if there is no allergic reaction, pass quickly. But I've seen people with swollen bites and rashes.
The rooms are simple, old, but basically tolerable. We had a balcony with a side view of the sea, and the dance floor, so music played until 12 at night. The main drawback of the room is the carpet on the floor, which inspires certain hygienic doubts, and they simply clean it with a brush (not even with a vacuum cleaner).
The service is normal, cleaned every day, towels were also changed every day (but there were few large towels, 1-2 for 3 people). There are no beach towels. There is no hair dryer. Shampoos and gels too. Two Russian women Irina and Marina work at the reception, who help to resolve issues with the staff, and simply answer questions of interest to tourists. Special thanks to them!
The hotel is mostly Russian, some Europeans and Algerians. The latter are a little annoying, as they constantly yell and behave very untidy (tables in the dining room after them defy description, they dump all the leftovers on the tablecloth).
The biggest drawback of the hotel is the dining room. Here is a complete nightmare. Spoons, mugs often have to win back and guard. To snatch a paper napkin for everyone is generally a holiday. And about small spoons, they probably don’t even know....
Sweets are always on the principle of "who managed, he ate", did not have time, your problems. From the sweet - the same type of cakes, there were no dates, no local sweets. The food is the same, almost nothing changes. It seems to be a lot in terms of quantity, but if you discard some of the dishes that are not very tasty, and some are not fresh (especially vegetables), then there is nothing to choose from. I probably won’t eat chicken for another half a year, I’m so tired. In principle, meat, chicken are cooked deliciously, but for 14 days goulash and chicken (in other versions they were not cooked), they are somewhat annoying. Each dish must be smelled, otherwise you will eat rotten. Vegetable salads, even if they do not stink, are somehow tasteless. I can live on cucumbers and tomatoes for weeks, but I didn’t really want to eat them here, here are some tasteless ones. I took carrots with garlic olive oil, until I ate rotten ones, the desire disappeared immediately. There was no smell of meat, but who knows, maybe it's because of the spices. One fine day I found a caterpillar in the salad (see photo), on the other they saw a huge cockroach on the tablecloth.
Alcohol: we liked beer and white wine, red is a little worse, pink is generally inedible. Cocktails with booze are okay, but they turn out very sweet.
Tea is basically inedible, coffee is more or less.
They gave fruits of 1-2 types for a meal, I liked grapes, watermelon, sometimes there were delicious peaches (sometimes unripe). Melon is most often tasteless, or even rotten. Plums more or less.
Catering and catering are not at the level of 3 stars (we were in 3 stars in Vietnam, Thailand, even Egypt), we have not seen such a mess.
I can’t say anything about animation, we somehow didn’t get to it (we didn’t strive), for sure there is a children’s disco every day, there are programs in the evenings (such as a fakir show, belly dance or Mr. Hotel). Something seems to be held during the day, but we were either at sea, or on excursions, or rested from the heat.
In general, the biggest minus is the dining room. Everything else is good. But eating like this for 14 days is difficult, especially since taking an "all inclusive" usually does not count on money for meals outside the hotel.
Now about the numbers. All floors in the rooms are covered with carpet which never!! ! does not vacuum. In principle, we did not see a vacuum cleaner either at the maid's or at all in this hotel. As a result, the floors are very dirty. Plumbing is also never washed, as well as mirrors. Bed linen and towels are dirty gray with various stains and holes due to age. Towels were scary to pick up, not to dry off with them. Soap, shower gel, shampoo, hair dryer are not available. Cleaning the room consists of dusting the dressing table and replenishing toilet paper. ALL!! . We tried to leave a tip (1 dinar) - cleaning was supplemented by made beds. Towels, like the bed for the entire stay (7 nights) were never changed.
Now about the dining room. The food is very fresh and not varied, but you will not stay hungry. Now about cleanliness - tablecloths, napkins (linen) never change. Paper napkins are issued only for breakfast and one per person. Those. for lunch and dinner, you need to wipe yourself with linen napkins, on which stains remain and which for the next meal you fold beautifully with the same stains. Dishes don't wash well. We constantly had to ask the staff to change the appliances, as the food that had dried up from the last time remained on them. Which, by the way, the staff did very reluctantly and even challenged me to throw clean appliances on the table.
Animation. Leaves much to be desired. It takes place in German and English. Once we stayed to watch the performance of invited artists - the feeling that all this action is designed for mentally retarded people...
In general, a hotel for pensioners, of which there were a lot.
I absolutely do not recommend the hotel! Even 3* hotels should be clean!! ! Let some soap accessories be missing, but if a change of towels and bed linen is announced, then they must be changed and washed!! ! And in the dining room, the dishes must be washed!! ! And cleaning should be done thoroughly at least once every 7 days!! ! For the money you can find better service and not spoil your vacation.
The beach and the sea are dirty - packages, jars of yogurt, cigarettes, seaweed float. The beach is very small, umbrellas and sun loungers are almost on top of each other. Sanitary standards are a separate issue - they don’t wash glasses, but rinse them (it doesn’t matter if they are in the dining room or at the beach bar). Swimming pools - the description states two adults and one for children. The children's pool and the adult one are essentially one. The second pool is in the building of the nearby hotel Royal Jinin (which is just the same 4). Employees do not hesitate to throw bleach into the pool when guests swim there. With us, an employee with a lump of bleach hit the boy in the face, since he was wearing a mask. A lot of local. They appear there in two ways: they check into a hotel, or they call the "keeper" of the pool and he takes them sunbeds (apparently for a fee). They feed tolerably, although on the fourth day the stomach no longer perceived it. On the penultimate day of rest, two jars of sun cream were stolen from us right from the table near the sunbeds by the pool. Acquaintances were robbed at 8 pm across the street from the hotel.
The room was never cleaned (they only made the bed), although at the beginning we even left a tip; then they decided that it was pointless.
Animation is dull and monotonous.
