Stayed with my wife during our honeymoon. Rest was a success, but first things first.
I'll start with the pleasant - what I liked:
1) Kitchen.
Very tasty and varied, nothing to add. The menu has always had 2-3 types of meat (chicken, turkey, beef, lamb), fish, vegetable dishes and salads in a rich assortment. True, the booze was rather tasteless and the juices were only multi-colored slurry from the powder, so I had to drink mostly beer and water. But since the goal was never to get drunk, this was quite enough. I advise lovers of high-quality booze to take money for it with them - they will pour you whatever you want for them.
2) Sea.

Clean, refreshingly cool but not cold, almost no waves. Taking a bun from a restaurant with you in 1 minute, you can collect about fifty fish around you, which will eat bread almost from your hands. One "but": the barrels on which the floating platforms are held are densely populated with algae, which will not miss the opportunity to sting you quite noticeably at the first contact. My wife's bite itches even 2 weeks after that.
3) Staff.
Although he mostly does not speak Russian, with minimal skills in a foreign language, it will not be difficult to have fun and have a good time with them. Sellers of various services and entertainment are a little intrusive, but this is their bread, so they do not cause much dissatisfaction.
A few bad things:
1) The indifference of the administration regarding complaints about the quality of rest. For example, there are no working safes in the rooms as such. In addition to us, 4 of our couples had problems with them. Complaints to the reception and through the guide did not help - the safe was never fixed. It's good that our man is used to checking everything before use, otherwise we would probably have to open a jammed safe with our money or documents for a long time.
2) The habit of taking everything that lies badly.
On the first day, my wife and I went to the room after dinner - to sleep off the road. At this time, it started to rain and our towels were collected from the beach along with the hotel ones. Subsequently, we never found him - everyone nodded at each other, but no one admitted who collected these towels and where ours disappeared. Another example is when we gave the cleaning lady the laundry to be ironed, we gave $20 and explained that it was for the fact that they would iron it to us. As a result, during check-out, we were told that we had a debt for additional services, and the cleaning lady simply decided to take the money for herself as a tip.
3) Price level.

Say what you like, but the prices there are space. The resort was originally focused on Europeans and their ability to pay, so be prepared for the fact that the price tags will put you in a slight shock. Complex massage - $70, pedicure - $20, parasailing - $100, go fishing - $120 per person, rubber slippers that will break in a week - $20, etc. Moreover, they are very reluctant to bargain - a normal discount can only be obtained for wholesale offers, and even then, basically, they can simply give you a ride on a scooter for free when buying two sessions of parasailing.
That, in general, is all that I wanted to write. Exclusively my IMHO.
