It all started like this: I met the tour operator at the airport without delay - well done (tez-tour), they drove us for 1.5 hours, as they took everyone in turn to different hotels. Upon arrival, we were disappointed - there were no available rooms and sent to Granada for 2 days. This is the first thing that upset us upon arrival. The hotel is certainly super, but about the knowledge of the Russian language they strained. There is not always a person who speaks Russian in the lobby - and therefore we suffered for an hour until we were settled. Otherwise, service and food, bars, etc. Great. Only because of the same animation in German - they... are not clear, and therefore the whole day is like on a desert island - although people seem to be everywhere - boring... Only on the second day, apparently, someone made a remark and began to comment on the animation and Russian. Two days later we were transferred to Botanik. As an apology, they presented gifts - a beach bag, a mug and a little postman. It's funny. . . Especially when there are 4 people in the family - and moving is not a trifle. True, we were settled quickly and took into account all the wishes - expressed upon arrival for the first time about resettlement. They settled us next to friends - as they wanted in Rosa.
The hotel is designed for families with children. I don’t advise single or young couples to come here, you are unlikely to find a couple here (the vast majority come with families), and young people will be bored in terms of entertainment (in a nightclub, children 12-14 years old dance until 01-00, and at 2-00 he already closed).
The overall impression of the hotel is good. We lived in the Rosa building. Noisy only - when the lunopark is open (from 20-00 to 22-30), but I think that no one is sleeping at this time, and the sound insulation in the rooms is good.

The kids are mostly happy. The youngest (4 years old) is happy with everything, and the terrifying one (14 years old - not very) - animation for teenagers is monotonous, went a couple of times and no longer expressed desire. But in the evening I had fun in a nightclub... The fact is that if you are sick and there is no way to go to the beach, and it’s boring to sit in a room - except for paid services - Internet, bowling, etc. , to be in a cool place and not steam on nothing is provided on the street, except for a DVD in the mini-club - where, of course, a 14-year-old child will not go. And there are 4 Russian channels on TV in the room.
Slides in the aqua - work from 10-00 to 18-00, although it happens that they open even earlier. The pools and territory are well-groomed, what can you do if we are all not without sin and once again too lazy to get up and throw garbage in the right place, but the staff (if they see it) immediately eliminates everything.
As for the staff - well done, friendly, even the maids, when they do not have time to clean the room, they change towels, take out the trash, etc. without fail. I liked the idea with a playground in the restaurant, you can have a quiet lunch while the child has already eaten and plays on the playground. Children's animation (mini-club) for children over 4-5 years old, since without a mother they will leave and no one will notice, you have to be there yourself with them - because. individually with small children - when no one will be engaged in a club of 20 people. And the older kids have a lot of fun there.
The second chagrin is that almost everyone had some kind of viral-intestinal infection - and I'm afraid that not only we - but half of the Botanist - since at every step we met both Russians and Turks with these symptoms. In the first days, the temperature was under 40 and terrible diarrhea... I don’t even want to remember. WE noticed by the way that this happened when someone drank water from the pool (water polo) - or on the slides. Who swam in the sea - such an incident did not bother.
The rest of the holiday was a success.
And also about the rooms - what do you want from a hotel that is already over 30 years old...
