When choosing a hotel, I looked for reviews with a small child, but I did not find it and took a chance. In vain.
We went to rest for the first birthday of our baby. We were given a room on the 4th floor of the main building. Good sea view, tired repair, but it was not very important to us. Gave a good crib for the baby, the beginning was not bad.
But from 21:00 to 23:30, music began to play very loudly, everything in the neighborhood shook from the bass. Our child falls asleep at 19, wakes up at 5-6 in the morning, naturally we were in shock and, since we still couldn’t sleep, we spent this time choosing a new hotel. How can a small child be accommodated in such a noisy place? In the morning, at the reception, it turned out that the hotel does not produce a refund (it can only freeze for payment in the accommodation of other hotels of the chain), booking cannot help with this, it turned out that we became hostages.

We were settled in another building in a larger room (2 rooms + 2 bathrooms), because there "you can't hear the music at all. " Upon entering, we were very surprised by the number of mosquitoes, especially in the bathrooms. Hordes. And, like the first time, the baby crib was not found by default. At the reception they said that “now there are mosquitoes everywhere, but we can give a fumigator” and “there will be a crib now”. The bed was brought quickly, the husband accepted it, began to collect. It was dirty, gaping holes here and there, the plastic at the corners was cracked everywhere, a rusty self-tapping screw was sticking out of one corner. We folded it and went to the store, on the way going to the reception and asked to change the crib. When we came back, there was still the same bed, carefully assembled and made up. A rusty self-tapping screw peeped treacherously out of the corner. I had to call/wait again. They brought another, also dirty, but at least safe for the child.
In the first room, we had no complaints about the crib, it was good. We did not wait for the fumigator, we had to act in the old-fashioned way, enthusiastically run after the bloodsuckers before going to bed. Mosquitoes appeared from somewhere in the bathrooms, from where - a mystery. But we closed them, going there they killed 5-7 pieces. Without exaggeration - when we checked out, the walls, ceilings and floors in these rooms looked like a battlefield: dead mosquitoes were stamped everywhere.
It was cold in this room at night (+18). The bottom of the crib is near the floor, I had to take the little one to my bed. In the morning we were at the reception (in general, I must say, we went there more often than to the beach), where we were told that the heating was turned on only from 22 to 2. The day after that, the heating was not turned on at all at night.
After some time, we got used to all this, and lived out the rest of the paid time, waiting for the checkout. But:

Nutrition
The first minus we encountered is that dinner is served at 18:45, the children's table also works according to the adult's schedule. The kid is already sleeping at 19:00, he has dinner at 16-17, which means that we had to invent something and somehow adapt. I had to go to the store, buy baby food (the assortment of which leaves much to be desired - there is no meat there, mostly fruit cans, and even those in the vast majority with starch in the composition). After that, in the morning we collected food from the children's table in jars for dinner for the baby. By the way, I didn’t go to dinner, as I had to monitor my son’s sensitive sleep.
So, the children's table in this hotel looks like this: boiled chicken in small pieces, boiled potatoes, beef sausages, pasta, oatmeal, buckwheat, rice porridge on the water, grilled chicken, beef cutlets (sometimes lamb is added). Grilled cutlets and chicken are very tasty, but with a decent amount of pepper added.

In the morning (for some reason, only in the morning) boiled carrots, or cauliflower, or broccoli. There is yogurt with sugar in the refrigerator, and sweets abound: sweet biscuits, waffles, and so on. At lunch, sometimes (! ) in the refrigerator you can find jars of baby food of 2 types: assorted vegetables, assorted fruits. With starch, of course. There is also a microwave nearby, no blender has been heard of here.
My child is used to eating a lot of vegetables, meat is different every day. Naturally, with such a variety, he ate poorly. Why it is impossible to serve at least sometimes boiled fish, stewed vegetables, beef is a mystery, since on an adult table all this is present with a huge amount of salt and pepper, unfortunately.
Fruits. My toddler, like a lot of kids his age, loves bananas. He is ready to eat everything with a banana. But they were not in the hotel. Only apples, pears, oranges.
I asked at the reception what the trouble was with bananas, the answer was amazing "it's not the season now. " Yes, I did not ask about watermelons in January, but about bananas in April, which were sold in abundance at the market! I had to go to the store (the nearest one is 10-15 minutes walk along the highway) for bananas! At the entrance / entrance to the territory adjacent to the hotel, there is a sign “please do not bring purchased vegetables and fruits to the hotel”. I wouldn't bring it, but you're in trouble with them.
On the 4th day of our vacation, I found a decent piece of thin iron wire in a chicken from a children's (! ) table. Who reads this - please watch what the children eat in the hotel. I don't even want to think about what could happen.
Regarding the territory: it is not huge, but there is where to walk for half an hour, but not longer.
A lot is arranged for athletes: there is tennis, ping-pong, a football field, a basketball field, and mini-golf.
The beach is normal.
Many pools, water slides, including for children, looks very even.
There is a fenced playground.
The staff is smiling, polite, with rudeness did not come across. At the reception, a girl was clearly caught “just to answer something, ” but pretended to want to solve our problems, she offered the baby not bananas, but cucumbers. I laughed, argued and explained nothing to her.

Outcome:

If you are traveling with a baby who does not sleep in an adult bed and does not eat food from an adult table, definitely bypass this hotel! Only you will break your head with what, when and where to feed him.
If the child is quite an adult - yes! There is something to do here and how to pass the time.
