We rested at WOW Kremlin Palace from 23.05. 12 to 02.06. 12. , arrived at the hotel at about 9.00 (and with us 43 more people), of course there were no rooms. We decided to go for breakfast, and then try to negotiate at the reception and $ 10 we were at 10.00 in the room.
The room is not new, it needs renovation, but we did not come to sit in the room, so we were not interested in furniture and carpets. The most unpleasant thing is the smell, either dampness or mustiness. The room was cleaned for 3-ku, they didn’t really bother with scattered crumbs from chips and dirt. Once they came to clean at 9 in the morning, they asked me to come in 10 minutes later, on that day no one returned. A couple of times they forgot to fill the mini bar, they took away beach towels (new cards were issued at the reception).
Territory: large and well-groomed, there is a place to arrange a photo session. The pools are large and clean, cleaned every day. Slides are open from 10.00-12.00 and 14.00-16.00, it is better to come to the beginning of the opening, you can ride for 30 minutes without queues.

There are bars on the territory, we liked to dine at the Pasha-bar (cakes with herbs and cheese are very tasty), there is a pastry shop nearby (various sweets and ice cream). Near the beach bar with fast food. The lobby bar is open around the clock, and from 21.00 to 1.00 there is a cocktail bar.
Beach: large, lots of sun loungers (we always found places), there is a pier with pillows. Dirt is not particularly noticed, and did not look closely. Several times it happened that fuel oil washed ashore from the boats, but we immediately went to the pool.
Main restaurant: a lot of food, but monotonous and somehow not very tasty cooked, except for soups and pastries, especially delicious buns for breakfast, no one will leave hungry. If they gave strawberries or cherries, a huge queue lined up, even too lazy to stand. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is better to come no later than 30-40 minutes. after opening, then it is very difficult to find a clean table, and no one is in a hurry to clean it up.
It was like sitting down at a clean table and taking a seemingly clean glass, he ended up in lipstick. The spoons that lie near the soups turned out to be dirty every other time. We went to dinner at Wow Topkapi Palace several times, it turned out to be tastier, more varied and cleaner. The restaurant on the street in Topkapi offers a much larger selection of dishes than in the Kremline.
Animation Entertainment: I do not want to compare with anyone and say that I saw somewhere better, but the animation was not impressive! Firstly, for children from 7 years old, there is no animation! And with the kids they were really not interested. Although they said that animation for older children will appear from June 16th. Children spent time either running around the hall, or sitting in a room with set-top boxes, of which only 3 worked. Animation in the evening also did not shine, 15 minutes were enough, then it became uninteresting and boring. Yes, and vulgar competitions were. During the day, in principle, it is normal, you can play darts, bochu, participate in competitions, do water gymnastics.

As we found out there were 60 animators at two hotels, 10 of them saw people (in the Kremlin), somehow everything is not friendly and harmonious with them. Maybe by the end of the season everything will get better and others will enjoy it. The only thing that pleased me was live music (3 times a week), it was good to sit in the fresh air and listen to music.
There is nothing to do outside the hotel, you can walk to Lary, go min. 20, but there is nothing to do there. We went to the Old City, drove for an hour. On the bus, it’s better to give small money, they gave $ 20, the driver tried to count $ 4 each, but it costs $ 1, the child is free.

It seems that the main points are described, for themselves they concluded that you can go once for the sake of diversity, but no more. Have a nice rest and positive mood!
