спокойный, бюджетный отдых quiet, budget stay

We went on vacation with a child in September 2012. The main selection criterion was the possibility of a quiet family holiday without a disco under the windows, a large territory, a playground, a children's pool, an affordable price and proximity to the sea. I read all sorts of reviews, both good and bad, but there were vouchers for this hotel, and the cost was suitable for us, which is why we chose neither Greenpeace, despite its 3 stars. It takes 2 hours to get to the hotel, one stop, 15 minutes, you can go to the toilet, take a little walk, we arrived easily, listened to the guide, cat. he talked about the peculiarities of his country, the time passed quickly, they were not even tired, even from the plane. We arrived after 10 in the morning, check-in at 14, it was tedious to wait, I wanted to go to the room, sort things out, lie down, but it's okay, things were in the hall, changed in the toilet, went to eat, and went to explore the territory. At about 14 o'clock they gave a room, they did not pay any money, they settled in a good triple room overlooking the pool and the territory. Rest has begun. Since we were with a small child, we did not take any excursions, they did not turn to our guides at all on any issues, when we jumped off the excursions, their interest in us was immediately lost. The hotel itself is very simple, modest, no crystal chandeliers and wall-to-wall mirrors, well, that’s why 3 stars, we didn’t care, the rooms were cleaned every day, it was quite clean, nothing was missing, which is nice, we rented a safe, 1 dollar a day, located in the room, all valuables were left there. Cleaned when we were not, when we were, we were not disturbed, towels were changed every 2 days, dirty in the bathroom, which had to be laid on the floor due to the fact that the water from the shower tray flowed onto the floor, every day. We had our own for the beach. Yes, by the way, the shower is uncomfortable, there is no shower cabin, but there is a shower and a tray, and all this is fenced off by a curtain, cat. does not protect the bath from splashes. The hotel area is large, but compact, it has its own small zoo, everything is green, a small playground, the cleaning is not very good there, the children's slide, polluted by birds, did not like. The food is normal, but this is a matter of taste, someone is counting on lobsters and champagne on vacation, but this is a request for a different price category, and for three stars, it’s normal, it’s unrealistic to stay hungry, we recovered. For breakfast there was coffee, tea, milk, cheeses, salted and pickled olives, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, some kind of cottage cheese (doubtful), preserves, jams, fresh and very tasty bread (they ate it), butter, cereal. For lunch, soup, a lot of vegetables, mostly chicken meat, there was lamb 2 times, shawarma 2 times, soy cutlets, fruits, sweets, they also fed well for dinner. Of course, there were not very fresh products, yesterday, something was chopped into salads, something was decorated as an independent dish in a new sauce, but it was easy to guess, and it was not at all necessary to eat, there was always plenty to choose from. Well, what can I say, everywhere they save on people. Alcohol up to 23. Poured only into glassware. We drank wine, beer, local vodka, gin. Everything went well with us, I won’t show off, we liked it, although I heard people on the beach say that if the beer still goes, then no wine. In general, I expected the worst, after reading about the quality of local drinks, I thought to stock up on duty free, but I didn’t have time, and drank what they gave. There was no goal to get drunk to hell, but you can relax a little with these drinks. There are three swimming pools, one for adults and one for children. It is very convenient, you lie on a sun lounger, the child splashes, everything is nearby, under supervision. The sea is close through the underpass, 30-50 meters, generally very close, you can walk back and forth as much as you want, you won’t get tired, and carry food with you if you wish. This is a big plus. The beach is sandy and pebbly, the entry is not very difficult, it is not suitable with children, rubber slippers are needed, but this is not a problem, we swam in worse places. The beach is not very big, but there were enough sun loungers and mattresses for everyone, because people still ply back and forth. It's good that they are very smart, cat. they throw their towels and scarves on the sun loungers, thereby marking them, not very much. It’s good that they don’t pee on them yet, so that it’s completely clear that the place is taken. People, don’t do this, there will be enough places for all, some will leave, others will come, then again the places will be vacated, but there are those, especially greedy, who keep their belongings on sun loungers for days, like they booked a place for the whole vacation, and the place is idle a few hours, and someone could use it. Silently quiet at night. There was almost no animation with us, somehow, at the end of the holiday, it became more fun, although cartoons were shown to kids, and even some performances began. But this is all until 23.00. And then sleep. It suited us. Because music was heard from neighboring hotels until the morning, and we have such peace and quiet, I was glad of this. But it is clear that what is good for families with children and pensioners is not good for young people. Who came to rock, you are not in this hotel. The staff is normal, no one, of course, runs after you to serve you, but in general the attitude is good, polite. In general, they were satisfied with the rest, they did not find any shortcomings, well, only if it was a little boring in the evenings (claims about the quality of animation), of course the rest is modest, but good.
