Good day to all!
Well, I'll start in order. Rested from 10.06. to 20.06. We went from the tour operator Pegas. A wonderful young man, Pavel, was always there, except for breaks for lunch and dinner. He was always ready to help, listened attentively to everyone, in general, well done!
We arrived at the hotel at 23.00. We were immediately given the key to the room on the 5th floor (on the elevator button), the room was a corner room, almost on the roof, overlooking both the sea and the pools. Although, of course, to see this, you need to be tall, or lean out well. But for me personally, this was a plus, because I don’t like prying eyes from a neighboring hotel, and I didn’t hear the noise under the windows. In the evening, the starry sky was visible and music was playing somewhere. Well, something like this. ))) From below, our balcony was not visible at all, so you could safely go out in shorts and not be embarrassed by anyone. )))))) After our check-in, we were taken to a restaurant, although it was already closed. They brought us dinner, albeit modest, but still enough for us to eat. The waiter is courteous, unfortunately I don’t remember the name, but I know for sure that he also works in an Italian restaurant. In the future, we repeatedly encountered him, he was always friendly, always smiling and waving his hand. ))))

About robes. Bathrobes are really not included in the concept of the hotel. Yes, they were earlier, at the opening of the hotel, but then the tourists took them apart for gifts. Well comrades! Well, it's not pretty! They tried hard for us! As a result, the bathrobes were almost all over and they were given out at the request only to those who went for treatments at the spa. But more on that later.
Room service. Well, there is a double opinion here... If I noticed everything correctly, then two women cleaned our floor, well, at least 2 people cleaned our room. So one woman, who is older and who spoke a little Russian, cleaned very carefully. I made all sorts of figures from sheets, towels and clothes, it was always clean and smelled of freshness. But the second one . . well, somehow not very well, apparently due to her little work experience, she is still not doing very well. Why do I write like this? Because one day huge ants with wings appeared on our balcony, as it turned out later, on the neighboring balcony, young people celebrated the last day of their stay at the hotel and left food and dirty dishes there. Although it is not allowed to bring any food into the room precisely because of the invasion of insects. But apparently they somehow did it. )) Well, that's not the point. We beat these ants, but after cleaning the room, these dead creatures remained so helpless on the balcony, smeared on the floor with green intestines out and next to them lying paws. )) The spectacle is not very, but just right for lovers of anatomy. We, unfortunately, do not belong to this category of people. Well, we noticed such cleaning only a couple of times. By the way, they left a tip, but they safely put them in the bedside table by the bed.
Audibility in the rooms... I can’t say anything here. Maybe the number was good, maybe there were no neighbors... although they saw how the rooms were cleaned, but we didn’t hear anything. And to be honest - we did not take ear plugs and washed our ears every day and we do not belong to the category of hearing impaired people! And even more so, they didn’t hear the neighbors in the next toilet)))) Although maybe it was necessary to attach a glass to the wall in the old fashioned way? Or a phonendoscope? Okay, to hell with him, let us be deaf! ))))))
Animators. . . Well handsome!! ! Omar is just amazing! Thanks to his parents for raising such a talent! I admire them all. Poké mon and all the rest! I would like your energy! I would have flown into space a long time ago! The girls are somehow weak, but that's why they are girls, modest... but young people are GREAT!

Beach. Yes, it's really not big. BUT! Forgive me, my dears, but at any time there were places by the sea! We never occupied sunbeds at 6 in the morning. We got up at 8.30, had breakfast, then went to the beach or to the pool. It was a little problematic to lie down by the pools, but you can! There was almost always a place for two or three, of course, a company of soldiers will do the trick. And the sea has repeatedly had free places for several pieces in a row. The last time at 9.20 in the morning I counted 11 of them. And that's just in one row. So you can safely go in a crowd and not be afraid to be left without a place under the sun (or under an umbrella). And by the way, seating chairs by the pools also have their charm. Almost no one takes them! ))))) But in vain! If I'm not mistaken, then both on the pier and at the pools they are occupied last. And no one guessed that they can be taken all at once and lie down three pieces across at once! ))))) What we did, if it was really tight. And the towels with which some people reserve places will be blown away by a "strong wind" in the future, so that it would be disrespectful to take and not come for 3-4 hours. Once we did just that. The towel flew to the next, the same booked lounger, along with the book lying on it. Well people! Well, do not turn you into greedy individuals! Well, you are not alone in this hotel! By the way, there are already 5 rows of umbrellas on the beach, so those who are not recommended to lie in the open sun, welcome to the shade! ))) Pierce. . . Of course, this is not a super-design, but it also has its charms. It's never hot there! There is a breeze and few people. On the last day, I even froze and got goosebumps, despite the fact that the thermometer was +40. (maybe it was frost? : -)) In general, everything is relatively normal there. And you don't have to walk around. Walk in the middle, where the metal structure passes, then there will be no injury that the man received (very sorry, of course).
Territory. Well, SO MUCH has already been written about the territory here . . People! It seems that everyone knows how to read... the numbers were taught at school... 17.000 squares - is that a lot ?? ? Of course not! So what are the claims? But the pools are spacious, the bars are comfortable, the passage to the sea is good, not through an underground passage, as in some hotels. And why do you like this territory? Where do you want to go? Past the palm trees? Past the flower beds? ? Well, go outside the territory and take a walk along the hotels, look at other territories, there are not so many of them either. Take a walk to the Alara Bazaar in the end . . The hotel was created for passive recreation, and not for cross-country running there in the morning. Or did you want to play hide and seek? In general, to each his own, but in my opinion, when reading the description of the hotel, you already know in advance that you will not walk there. But what comfortable sofas! For every taste and color. And you can lie down and sit down, but at least stand on your head, no one will say a word to you. Here with air conditioners, yes, it’s some kind of trouble. But this does not apply to the number. It's really hot inside, for some reason in recent days they either stopped turning it on, or someone additionally turned on the heater..... I don't know, in general it was stuffy, they dismissed the booklets. But in the room, the air conditioner worked properly, even with the balcony door open, just need to manually turn it on again. It was even cold at night. Slept under blankets every night.
Nutrition. What can I say? Have you seen seafood? Well, personally, I don’t really like them, but mussels with shrimp were in my memory twice. Photo attached. Only there I already ate almost everything. )))))))) There was both tuna and fish, both steamed and grilled. . . Well, everything else was written about in other reviews, so I won't repeat myself. The food is ordinary, like in most hotels, I won’t say that it wasn’t worth pulling by the ears, but everything is edible. Even tried to make sushi.... complete, I'll tell you, but people tried, did... only they do not have the products that are necessary for this yummy. But get into their position! They did it for you! They will learn and sculpt them just like in sushi bars! ))))) Give them a chance and opportunity to learn!!
Bartending waiters. I want to express special thanks to Emre, Idris Kilig, Kadir Utku, Togay. All well done!! ! Guys, we remember you, we love you! Emre is always an energizer, always running around like crazy, appearing from somewhere underground. . . and he has the most delicious cocktails! Nobody makes these anymore. Idris Kilig always with a beautiful smile, always knew our preferences, very friendly, but for some reason with sad eyes. . . Kadir Utku and Togay - well, these are just comedians. You didn’t have time to sit down, as a pillow appeared under the booty, as the drinks rushed, although we didn’t even have time to think, and they already knew and remembered what we prefer. In general, well done!

SPA! Well, this is a separate issue! Great team, great guys, great professionals. Aladdin, Samira, Mujahit, Osman and all the rest! We remember you! Mujahit and Osman are masseurs. They are excellent doctors who have dealt with a problem that other doctors could not handle. Always friendly, cheerful, always entertaining. Samira is a smart girl, she speaks Russian as her native language, Aladdin is still the same comedian. An older man, I don’t remember his name, unfortunately, he is also very pleasant, always ready to please. So if you're sad, if you want to make friends with wonderful people, go to the spa. They will lift your mood and improve your health, especially if someone has problems with their back or other parts of the body. I especially liked the massage with volcanic stones. If you do not want a massage, then go to the sauna or hammam. I recommend peeling in the hammam, the tan will be beautiful and even. Sauna is great, pool is cool. The hammam is very comfortable. After the sauna, you can lie down in the relaxation room, it’s cozy, comfortable and cool, the fish swim, chase each other... There is also a gym there, quite spacious, so go there if you have time. ))))))) I read here about lockers that are poorly cleaned... I can’t say anything, because they weren’t used. From personal belongings, we only had bathrobes, which we were given here, and until the end of the holiday, we went here in them and did not put them in the lockers. In general, I advise. This hotel has some of the best massage therapists. And by the way, this is not just our opinion. I have read similar information on many websites.
Well, actually, that's all. I can only add from myself. People, compare the price and quality. Do not demand that you kiss your ass for a reasonable price. And be kind to the people who work there. Have you ever wondered how they do it? ? After all, they plow the whole season almost without days off. And the salary... You spend this amount on a trip in 10 days. And they still plow and plow from morning until late at night. Have you ever seen the staff go home for the night? And look for the sake of interest. These are tired, drooping, sad faces who want to carry themselves to the bed and collapse into bed. And in the morning, before dawn, you need to smile again, create a good mood and comfort for you! And so without days off the whole season. And all the families are at home... children... Imagine for a moment what is going on in their heads when some hysterical personalities (I call them rednecks) consider themselves kings and, at the snap of their fingers, demand to serve them. Hell yeah? ? How many staff per 1000 vacationers? That's the same! You can't kiss everyone! Smile more often and people will be drawn to you.
We watched the picture at the reception, I will not name the date when it was, but some vacationers at the same time as me, they will understand who I am talking about. So it's around 11pm. A lady arrived (apparently with an adult daughter), with unsuccessfully filled with helium lips, painted in pink, a hat larger than a dome on the ceiling of a hotel... well, a daughter, a little more modest than a mother. So this Barbie threw a tantrum at the reception, due to the fact that for a thousand dollars she does not intend to spoil her vacation and put up with the fact that her room goes to the side of the garbage dump (of course, I don’t know where she saw the trash dump . . ). But she beat her hoof on the floor, screeched in a nasty voice... she threatened to go to bed right in the hall... but for some reason she did not go to bed. Don't know why? ? She demanded another number... and more....But she was told that she had paid for the standard and there are no other options today! But she didn't hear anyone around! Apparently the gel crawled into her ears. . . In general, the man at the reception almost cried from her hysteria, his mood deteriorated, his eyes turned sad. . . but he could not change anything. So this bitchy lady then with her lips and walked around the hotel with a disgruntled muzzle, showing everyone that the damn queen had arrived! But for some reason no one was in a hurry to serve her! And her pink shoes with fucking stilettos, not at all in the theme for a beach holiday, the color of her lips, did not give the desired result. So what am I to? Smile more often, no amount of money can buy a smile! And be kind to people. You are not alone in this world! And these people have relatives and friends somewhere far away, whom you want to hug and kiss, but instead they work hard for us tourists.
Have a good trip! Have a good holiday everyone! And more positive!

Thank you hotel for a great stay!
