Traveled with a guy. On the way to the hotel, people were taken to their hotels, which were on the way, so we drove to our hotel for 3.5 hours, it turned out to be the last one : )) There was no language barrier with the staff, at the reception they asked what kind of room we wanted, there were free just three. We didn't think much about it, because. the view from the rooms everywhere is equally not so hot. On one side of the hotel, the rooms overlook the road behind which there is a construction site, and on the other side, there is a construction site right away, with lovely builders, we always waved to each other when we went out onto the balcony. They took it higher so that at least a piece of the sea could be seen.
The room is quite comfortable. Clean sheets, no holes. They cleaned every day well, even without a tip, beautifully folded the bedspread. Mini-fridge (mini-bar) worked really bad. . barely. But we didn’t need it, the air conditioner always worked great. The door from the closet fell off a couple of times, and the dryer on the balcony, we put it back ourselves. The sink was clogged in the bathroom and a couple of lamps in the room did not work, we contacted the reception and everything was quickly fixed for us without any problems. At first we laughed at the safe: - it is in the closet and you can take it away, : )) even though it is quite heavy. They always played it safe and put everything that fit in there, documents, remotes, telephones and a camera (we read in the review that the collateral was stolen, and then they demanded to pay : ))) For the remote control from the TV set and air conditioning, you must leave a deposit. Safe is paid - $ 2 per day.

The air conditioning in the lobby does not work, stuffy.
As for food, everything looks suspicious, they put a little bit of everything on themselves, tasted it, and then they constantly took whatever they liked more or less. Almost no meat. Small pieces of chicken in stewed potatoes. Trout was served twice during our stay. Then people wrote something like a complaint and for a couple of days there was more meat. Of fruits, only watermelon, oranges, sometimes melon. And they don't taste fresh. There are almost no sweets. Nobody even touched them. It tastes like bread dipped in sweet water. There was a halva, nothing like that. Delicious jams for breakfast. Loved their soup and bread too! They weren't hungry. Near the pool they prepared pizza, which is not very good, the filling is their hot spices. But something like buns, nothing like that.
The beach is 5 minutes walk. There is an underground passage, but it is faster and more comfortable to cross the road : ) Unless of course there are not many cars. You can see this transition in the photo. The sand is very hot, without slippers you can burn your feet! What happened to my boyfriend : ) There were always enough sun beds, umbrellas are all old, many of them are broken. The sea was restless, and the entry into it was large sharp and slippery stones. Many cut their legs and bruised them when falling from the waves. Therefore, there is no one there with children, and those who swim have gotten used to running while the wave is coming. The shower on the beach is in the form of a fan, one is high, the other is for the legs, the water from them flows into the passage : ) There is no toilet on the beach. Bar and volleyball too.
The hotel on the ground floor has a jacuzzi, sauna, massage, hammam, and a gym with terrible equipment, half of which do not work. We went to the procedure, which included: foam massage, peeling and full body massage, they also made a mask and gave us herbal tea. I liked everything very much, it cost $ 35 per person.

The hotel has no territory - a pool and tiles around it. The pool is not big and not deep and stinks of chlorine very much, it is open until 19. In the afternoon they played water polo in it. I bought it only once, for the sake of photography, then all the skin was kind of soapy. Sometimes invited to play darts.
In the evening, everyone gathers at tables around the pool. First, there is a children's animation, which consists of several dances that are repeated every day. Then there were various competitions for adults. Then the disco began, which was almost everyone. It was held in the basement, admission is free, drinks are paid. Almost all cocktails are $5-12. A couple of times they offered to go to the city disco in Robin Hood and some other.
From entertainment in the hotel there is table tennis, which you can play for free until the evening, and then for an additional fee. There is a pool, it is paid and the table looks bad.
It is good that the hotel itself is located in the village of Mahmutlar and therefore there is where to walk and what to see.
We went on excursions, took them from a woman who sits on the street, you can smoke a hookah from her for free : ) You can find her if you walk from the hotel to the right for about 10 minutes.
In general, I liked the rest!
