We stayed at the hotel for 11 days. There were doubts about the choice after a million read reviews. In general, everything is not as bad as it might seem at first glance.
Territory: small, clean, comfortable. It's impossible to get lost. Large clean pool, sunbeds, umbrellas. There are smoking areas with ashtrays.
Location: on the first beach line, 70-100 meters from the sea via an underpass. There is a small local shop 3 minutes walk from the hotel. If you dare to go a little further (10-15 minutes walk) there are supermarkets and stalls with souvenirs.

Room: Small, clean. Matrices, bedding, towels - no visible stains. Cleaning was done upon request. True, for the second time, three towels were not reported to us (apparently because they did not leave the maid for tea). The room has a balcony, billowing ropes, a few clothespins, chairs, an ashtray. The TV shows a dozen Russian-language channels. In the bathroom there is only liquid soap in the dispenser, so you need to take all the soap and rye accessories with you. There is also air conditioning, but it works very badly. From the last forces he tries to blow something (we are not even talking about cooling). There is a trick: the number number is the key to electricity. When you enter, insert the number into a special hole, and light appears. When you leave, take the number and the light goes out. A shabby-looking mini-bar, naturally empty, but even there there can be no talk of cooling (purchased water, for example). In addition, as soon as you leave the room and pick up the key, everything stops working.
Food: in general, a lot of vegetables (fried, stewed, fresh), delicious cream soups (sometimes a little spicy), fruits, sweets. Meat was not enough, but every day for dinner there was something meat (shawarma, chicken or fish). They didn't stay hungry. Drinks (coffee, juices, brewed tea) in any quantity are freely available. Bar near the pool. Any alcohol is poured without problems, cocktails are different, but not of very high quality. It's hard to drink.
Beach: large, there are sun loungers, stretched awning. Entry into the sea on pebbles. Clean beach, clear water. Beach bar with juice and water. There is a toilet, shower.
Service: they clean up quickly, there are no empty or dirty cups, glasses anywhere, there is no garbage either. The rooms are cleaned well. The chefs are working hard and it shows. At the reception, they always try to help and are focused on the guest, which cannot but rejoice (in our room it was dripping from the ceiling, the problem was solved within an hour).
In general, the hotel is not bad, it corresponds to its top three. However, the big disadvantages are that not a single room is properly cooled by air conditioning in a 30-degree heat. Saves the draft and the pool.
Another small nuance, but this is not a hotel. The rest is overshadowed by the presence of eternally dissatisfied visitors who express their dissatisfaction to everyone indiscriminately (“oh, they probably chose the worst meat”, “what, there will be no shish kebab? ”, “what kind of cakes are these, not shawarma, but it’s not clear what”), and with all this, they stand in line several times for a supplement, and scoop up full plates of food, which in the end they never eat.
This is an economy class hotel. Get ready for it. There will be no delicacies and frills. It's not 5 stars or premium. The hotel is quite decent for a holiday without frills. And it’s worth thanking the cooks and helpers in the kitchen, because the food is delicious and there is enough of it.
All the best!
