On the way to the hotel, the guide began to call hotels and ask those who travel to them to raise their hands. When the turn came to our hotel, he loudly said: "Le Chateau De Nightmare, oh sorry De Prestige. " I was already ready to sink into the ground, from shame that I was going to such a hotel. How I got to this hotel is another story. I won't talk about it.
On the bus from the airport, we sat for an hour waiting for the missing couple of tourists. The guide was off his feet looking for them. People! Drink coffee upon arrival at the hotel! Remember that a full bus of people who are tired and dreaming of getting to the hotel as soon as possible is waiting for you!! ! We ended up leaving without them. Well, of course, we were late for dinner. They settled us quickly, correctly, the time was already 10 pm. They didn't pay anything. True, they offered to settle the four of us in one two-story room. But I categorically refused, we had paid for two rooms. My daughter and I were given a separate large room. And the parents were given this two-story apartment for two. And I want to eat. We went for a late dinner at 12 noon. And there is only soup and buns. The soup was spicy. I got even more depressed. After all, usually, at a late dinner, there are fresh vegetables, cheeses, well, just a snack, but nothing here...
In general, this hotel, as it turned out, is on state support. People from the labor exchange are hired there, and the day has passed for such workers, and okay. You don't have to try at all. Accordingly, with such an attitude, the service leaves much to be desired.

The concept of the hotel is amazing! Such beauty! Apparently, it really was planned as a luxury hotel. It all started so chic (gold, marble, granite, the mosaic dome of the reception), there should have been everything your heart desires: bowling, billiards, a chic spa, slot machines, two indoor pools, a cinema hall, a disco, and even a mosque. There are no number of pools, they flow like rivers into each other. Two water parks: one on the territory, the other on the seashore. An interesting amphitheater, a chic playground. And as for the design of landscape design, I generally keep quiet. That's very beautiful! Starting from a vine-covered gazebo with a fountain, and ending with green tunnels that protect you from the sun on the way to the beach. Photos are breathtaking!
That's all. Now imagine that you are completely alone in this splendor! Just you and other tourists. You are on self-support and self-service. You need a towel, run around the floors, look for a maid. If you want a mattress on a deck chair, go, look, the unfortunate five mattresses are wandering somewhere, maybe you're lucky. What? You were settled in a room, and there is a stub from the previous tenants lying under the table? Don't blame me, don't be lazy, take it away! Do you want to eat from a clean plate? Wash it yourself! Need a safe? Wait for someone to get free!
Most of all, it was that, due to the relative affordability of this hotel in terms of price, crowds of low-income cattle crowded there (excuse me for rudeness for God's sake). Which Dorval to "all inclusive", and eat and drink like the last time. And we have here, as you remember, self-service! And if this individual pukes all around, no one will clean up! And you can only run past the bars with your hands in your nose. It's the same with elevators, apparently drunk people are very sick there.
Well, about food. The food is good. But, in the ritual of feeding, there are some nuances! When I, all so-out of myself, snorting at the crowd of afflicted people near the restaurant who were waiting for the chimes at 19.00 (at that time dinner was starting), walked into the room, thinking that you can eat later, because dinner lasts two hours, I did not know all the secrets of this castle! When my Majesty deigned to come down for dinner, there was nothing left to eat! And so we quickly delved into the situation, and the next day at exactly five to seven in the evening we were pushing in a crowd (in a huge crowd) of people! The door opened, and the crowd, sweeping everything and everything in its path, rushed to eat. The child ran to take the table. Dad ran for meat and fish food, mom ran for sweets, I managed to grab two peaches and two pears, occasionally managed to snatch grapes. I run very badly, now I know for sure.

And I also suffered without coffee. There's disgusting coffee from the machine!
Alcohol: Dad once took me Baileys, I looked at the curdled substance with flakes for a long time, and thought what is it?
And so, everything in general is wonderful))) Rest, not work!
We left the hotel at 2 am. The only desire was a cup of coffee to poke his eyes. But, even the vending machine with coffee drinks, no longer worked.
If you managed to buy a ticket to this hotel, don't worry! Not all De Nightmare that Le Chateau! The food is good, the landscape is wonderful, across the road there is a nice bridge to the sea, instead of tattered towels, I bought a huge towel on the market for 10 bucks and didn’t worry about it anymore. And without mattresses it turns out you can lie down. And you can find a clean plate, sort it out for a long time, the sixth one will definitely be clean. Well, they don't clean the room, oh well! Try not to litter, everyone. They don’t change the bed, and even so, you are in the water all day, and so clean! Good sauna and, they say, hammam is not bad. Sauna showers are ankle-deep in water. But we found a way out here too, we’ll get tired and run to the room to wash. They don’t put water in the mini bar, just think, you’ll get as much as you need in the bar!
In general, everything will be fine, where ours did not disappear! The main sun, air and sea! Although it is a pity, of course, the hotel. There would be a private owner. Well, thank you for your attention, there will be questions, write, I will answer.
