The hotel, in general, is not bad, but there are some drawbacks. I'll start with resettlement: this is a huge problem!! ! What they tell you that they check in after 14:00, as in all normal 5 * hotels, is not true. Even if you arrived early in the morning, you will wait until the Germans are resettled, and only then what will remain (if it remains) for the Russians and Ukrainians. If you are offered to spend the night in another hotel, then demand that at least the safe was free (2 euros per day), whoever is bolder can beg for a daily replenishment of the minibar, which is very difficult! If, all of a sudden, you are lucky, and you were settled, check the minibar right away. It happens that there can be only one water (cola, sprite, fanta and 1.5 liters of water). There is one more nuance, at the reception, when they give you a room key card, ask for a second one. I’ll tell you why: You can leave the air conditioner running and mobile or cameras on charge. Next - I'll tell you about the numbers. Everything in the rooms is done neatly, but so compact that there is nowhere to turn around. . The cleaning lady in the room, at best, vacuums, folds the bed, sometimes she can fold your things and that's it... Towels and bedding are not changed until the last day. So you can not leave a buck. I'll tell you more about the sea view. Don't spend 30 bucks for this number! And for less at the reception you will not agree. Now about the restaurants. The choice of food is not small, in principle, for every taste, and what they write “a small selection of meat” is not true, just a shaft and pretty much tastes nothing (if you add salt). A la carte restaurants, it's better not to go to them, they give the same thing as for dinner. The only difference is that everyone brings it to you! There is a little problem with fruit. Mostly apples, watermelons and terrible pears. There are no bananas at all, grapes only on holidays, melons only in salads. Bars. There is a terrible bar at the reception, they don’t know how to make cocktails (they mix sprite and apple tea, add various essences, vodka, try it themselves, and then slip it on you). The only decent cocktails in the evening by the pool, but you have to stand in line. Pools. The pool is clean, except for a huge number of small pebbles at the bottom. There are not enough sunbeds near the pool for everyone, so you need to take a place under the sun from 7-8 in the morning. Slides are open all the time, but water is given by the hour. Children manage not to ride on the priest, but to run on slides, which naturally leads to injuries, so watch the children. Calling a doctor costs 30 bucks and your insurance will not return them to you. The sea is pretty clean, the beach too, which can not be said about beach towels. They should be changed every 3 days, but I personally saw how dirty towels are taken out of the tank, folded and given back to vacationers! The animation was normal, they tried to come up with a variety of games, except for those that were on schedule. Evening shows were terrible, especially the presence of a transvestite (animator) in them. In the evening, the hotel is very boring, there is nowhere to go, except to the market (the souvenir and clothing market is not far from the hotel). Excursions from the hotel are very expensive. Travel agencies already have a planned route for each excursion, they are delivered to such places (supermarkets, "factories", shops... ) where prices are just space. For comparison, a simple cotton T-shirt in a hotel or in the market can be bought for 10-18 bucks, and in a store from the factory with a 20% discount you can buy for 29-45 euros or more onyx products - in the bazaar a lion figurine made of green onyx 175 bucks, and at the "factory" for the production of the same figures with a 20% discount, the same lion costs 5300 euros. Draw your own conclusions!
