Чудный отель, а вовсе не гадюшник! Wonderful hotel, but not a viper at all!

In 2011, at the beginning of July, my parents and I went for the first time to the "budget" five-star Kremlin Palace Hotel. Since only the good things are remembered over time, of course I will try to remember the shortcomings, but I'm not good at it. We quickly got to the hotel, in 20 minutes (and in the previous one we drove almost 2 hours). When you arrive, I don’t know about you, but I was struck by the facade of the building with amazing decoration, really like the Historical Museum in Moscow. And in the lobby, the beauty is terrible, the ceiling is four floors, columns, gilded sofas, shops and much more. True, if you arrive before breakfast (it starts here at 7), then consider yourself unlucky, because before 12 you will not be settled and you will have to evaluate the lobby for several hours, but this is perhaps the most unpleasant thing in the hotel. In other reviews, many talk about soiled rooms, dirt in the building and the arbitrariness of cleaners, but this is probably written by those who represent competing hotels. We lived in a standard room on the third floor with a view of the water slides and a piece of the sea, apparently this is considered a good room, as the parents gave a set of cigarettes (an abomination) to the reception upon check-in, having previously bought them at the airport, apparently that's why the girl perked up and immediately began to rewrite something in the list of numbers. The hotel area is just beautiful compared to where we have already been. What are the transitions from the main building to the residential ones and a copy of St. Basil's Cathedral (there are several restaurants), almost indistinguishable from the original. Everything is very clean on the territory and in the buildings (the cleaners are trying), there are trash cans and ashtrays at every step. There is a very good space for families with children, there is even a small amusement park and fitness equipment for moms. There are really a lot of people in the hotel, but there are no crowds even in the evening, everything is somehow evenly distributed throughout the hotel. There is a large swimming pool, a warm sea, a lot of sunbeds, even hammocks in a decent amount, every evening a new animation in the amphitheater for every taste and a disco with live music. There are a lot of bars everywhere, a joy for all alcoholics, and for the rest, tea, coffee, juices (juices are really chemical), as well as soda. Since I don’t smoke, I didn’t like smokers who smoked by the pool, by the sea and on the restaurant terrace - on the other hand, I feel sorry for them - sick people.
About food. We have been to different hotels in Turkey - in the Kremlin, the food is quite on the level. I am a vegetarian, but I always found something for myself, my mother, though in the end she began to say that she wants borscht, but dad liked the food.
By the way, he liked the sauna in the SPA - it's free, he went there almost every day. The SPA also has a 25m swimming pool under a glass roof, a Turkish bath (attendant services are paid, but if you don't need a bath attendant, then just come in and warm yourself), upstairs gym (free)

Conclusion: The Kremlin Palace is a quite decent 5-star hotel, and the beauty of the territory will be better than many.
