Written: 22 september 2020
Travel time: 4 — 13 september 2020
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For recreation with friends, for young people
We rested with two families with children (1 year 8 months and 10 years old), so I hope this review will be useful for people like us)
Check-in: arrived at 6.30 am, settled at 10.30.
Room: side sea view, slippers in the room)), hair dryer, condo, shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner and body lotion were replenished in the bathroom almost every day. The hair dryer worked every other time, and my long hair could not be dried. The room was cleaned every day, but at different times: either in the morning or in the afternoon, when the children were sleeping.
Meals: varied, different types of meat, fish, stew, boiled, fried, grilled and tandoor, mashed potatoes, pasta, rice and much more. There was always something to feed the child. Watermelons for breakfast, lunch and dinner)) grapes, peaches, plums, apricots, oranges. Lots of delicious desserts, ice cream for dinner.

Alcohol: a lot of things, and in addition to what was written on their signs in the bar, you can order (free of charge) both whiskey and cola, and Baileys (they poured some kind of coffee liqueur), martini (vermouth). Tequila went with a bang)) There were also very tasty non-alcoholic cocktails.
Animation - it was) Exercise, water aerobics, darts, volleyball, some games in the pool, a mini club worked, and my eldest daughter was constantly hanging out there. Mini disco in the evening, then all sorts of shows, discos, etc.
Beach: If you want to be on the first line, then you need to take it no later than 7 am)) The second line was scored by 8, the rest by 9. we got up early with the children, it did not bother us much. Towels need to be changed every day before 19.00, if you rent in the morning or in the afternoon the next day - the staff swears.
Entering the sea is certainly not ice, but on the very first day we bought slippers for everyone, and it immediately felt good. Slippers are sold at the hotel shop ($10). It can be cheaper on the market.
Pools: there is a small one with small slides and sand at the bottom just for our little ones. Also large slides with a separate pool, 2 large pools, and a pool on the 2nd floor with sunbeds on it.
In general, the hotel is 5 (there is something to compare), and you can always find the little things.
Excursions: we rode a boat to the turtle island, took an excursion right on the beach. We liked. And also the husband with the eldest daughter went rafting. This tour was taken from an agency on Yasaka Street, about 400 meters to the right of the hotel, next to a liquor and cigarette store. The price is much less than offered at the hotel (about 2.5 times). Mine liked it.
Also, about 1.5-2 km to the right of the hotel there is Alara Bazaar. You can walk there, but we took a taxi (5 dollars for all one way). Everything's there)))
As for the measures due to the coronovirus: all the servants are wearing masks and gloves, there are temperature sensors in several places around the hotel (as the animator told us, this sensor measures up to 17 people at the same time), antiseptics. You can’t take food yourself, it’s all because of the glass, but it didn’t bother you much.

You can walk down the street in the resort area without a mask, but in some shops you will be asked to wear one. It is also mandatory to wear a mask at the airport (they are very strict about this) and on the bus (at least keep it on your chin). If anyone needs to take a covid test, then this can be done right at the hotel ($ 35). Result next. day.
