Об отеле и экскурсиях About the hotel and excursions

We arrived at the hotel late (around 23:00). We were sent to eat without even being shown how to get there. Served a plate of strange vegetables. After returning to the reception and waiting for 20 minutes before settling. We are still lucky! Those who arrived a little later were generally sent to another hotel.

I regretted a hundred times that I went on the proposed excursions. The guides only tell 50 percent of the information about the trip. Let's say, when we went to Pomukalle (8th wonder of the world), we didn't think that the trip would take so long. We left the hotel at 5 am and returned at 12 noon. We were not even fed for free as the guide at the hotel said. Fed for free only at 13 o'clock and at 18 o'clock (and drinks are paid). And in the morning we were simply taken to a cafe-shop and told to buy and eat. And God forbid the prices. Some people from other hotels were warned about this and took a lunch pack from the hotel with them. And our guide, the bastard, did not say anything so that we left the proceeds in this cafe.

It takes 6 hours to go to Pomukalla, but we drove all 10, because they brought us to 5 stores. I advise you not to buy anything from these stores. Prices here are two or even three times higher than near the hotel, because part of the proceeds from the sale goes into the pocket of the guide, who brings customers to their store. When we reached Pomukalle, we no longer had the strength to enjoy the beauty of nature. In addition, it turned out that you still need to pay $ 15 to swim in the Cleopatra pool (the hotel guide did not warn about this). Those who paid were given the keys to the locker room. We had no money and we were upset that we would not be able to plunge into the pool with mineral waters. But they did not lose heart and decided to swim at any cost. Changed in the toilet. Things were put in a bag and my mother remained to guard him near the pool. My sister and I just went and climbed in for a swim. Do not be afraid if the guards near the pool say: "Your ticket. "
Feel free to answer that they showed it elsewhere. (there are several entrances to the pool). Then they went out and replaced my mother in guarding things. That's how we swam for free! And for those who do not want to guard things and take turns swimming, I advise you to buy one ticket and put all your things in 1 locker room. This is such a tough trip. If it weren't for the shops everything would be much better. So it's better to think twice whether you should go. If you already went, I advise you not to take children with you (it will be even more difficult), take more water, because 0.5 liters of water costs $ 2.5 there.

CONCLUSION: if you like passive recreation, do not buy excursions, it is better to lie on the beach for your pleasure and save money and nerves, and also get an extra portion of tan! So I will continue to do so.

On the last day of our stay at the hotel, we discovered a very interesting detail.
We were sitting at the reception, waiting for the bus to the airport, and then my sister noticed a HUGE red cockroach on the floor. We jumped back a little shouting, to which the receptiona workers laughed and did nothing. With these last impressions of the hotel, we went to the airport.. .
