Good afternoon!

We rested in Larissa Garden from 07.07. 2018 to 14.07. 2018. The ticket was purchased 5 days before, with a departure from Odessa (We ourselves are from Odessa). For two, for a 7-day stay on the basis of All inclusive, $ 755 was paid : )))
Yes Yes! Not $1000, $1500 or $2000, but only $755, which is much cheaper than a vacation at this level in Odessa or Zatoka, and then there's also a flight and another country)))

And so, let's go. Everything is on the shelves for those who are considering this hotel and are afraid of reading terrible reviews (as we did before the flight) : )

Hotel location:

Wonderful view of the mountains, just super!! ! Especially in the evening when the haze descends!! ! You must see this!!!

The hotel is within walking distance of a couple of supermarkets and a bunch of shops with everything you want. Near the hotel, 50 meters from the restaurant-bar-hookah bar. Good food, decent hookah for $10.

Beach:

The beach that belongs to Larissa really sucks (chaise longue one on top of the other, large stones when entering the water, the beach itself is very small for so many people), but do not hang your nose, 300 meters - a normal, free, public beach ! ! (We were there once, deck chair, mattress, umbrella - free of charge! )

Pools of Larissa:

There are two of them, one large with two slides, open from 08:00 to 19:00 (during other hours they allegedly pour chemicals and it is forbidden to swim, but people did swim). The second pool is open around the clock (we swam in it in the evening, at night)
Regarding the green water in previous reviews, after settling on arrival, the water in the main pool was crystal clear, after 5-6 days it began to turn green. In the second basin, which is smaller, this problem was not observed. At night, the pools are illuminated with blue lights (cool).

Number:

Upon arrival we asked for a room on the 3rd or 4th floor with a view of the mountains. It was done completely free of charge.
The room itself was in good condition (purely 3 stars, no more) on the 3rd day the toilet drain broke, which was fixed the next day. The air conditioner was turned on around the clock, but it was clearly difficult for him to cool, especially on July 12-14 at temperatures up to 36 degrees. There was a refrigerator in the room, such as a mini bar (it refrigerates our Alcohol taken from home normally : ) For 7 days the room was cleaned twice, despite the fact that we did not ask them about it. Hot water was present in the shower. The TV showed 5-6 Russian channels and 2 foreign ones. Bed linen and towels were clean. P. S - At the reception, there were scenes of abusive scenes about non-working air conditioners and non-changing towels. This really happened...

Food:

I read the reviews before the trip and still did not understand the food claims. What do you want for that kind of money? Yes, no meat. There is fried sausage, sausages. There is a chicken in various versions, a huge variety of various salads and side dishes.

Finally Fried mackerel. Every day new types of soups for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Huge amount of sweets. Of the fruits, only watermelon and melon, I would like something more, but alas. As for the granny on the ground, who fried cakes during the day, then she is no longer there)))) Everything is done on the counter, in a civilized way.

Alcohol and drinks:

You can drink beer, gin with sprite, white and red wine sucks, vodka and tequila did not try. From soft drinks: Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite, mineral water with and without gas.

Sanitation:

This is a really big downside! We never understood what a problem it is to hire some 18-year-old boy, that he washed the tiles on the outside area, wiped the plastic tables, and. etc. d? During the daytime? ! It remained a mystery, but we have bad impressions only about it!

Animation:

5 out of 5 points!! ! Very worthy. The animators are really trying and people have smiles and a good mood on their faces.
Morning water gymnastics, darts, water polo, target shooting, water games, DJ, evening disco.

Guests:

90% Russia and with children, well, there are a lot of children !!! ! 25-30 kids were seen swimming and running around the pool overnight....

5% Ukraine
5% Turks and other nationalities.
The atmosphere is friendly.

Summing up, I want to say that we liked almost everything, but, a huge minus for cleaning and sometimes unsanitary conditions in the external territory and canteens - this needs to be corrected, but again I repeat the same, for this money a very worthy option, especially if you don’t sit all day in the hotel, and you will take excursions for at least 2-3 full days, as we did. Pirate yacht for the whole day 20$
Pammukalle, Hierapolis for the whole day 35$, Demre-Mira-Kekova-visiting the church of St. Nicholas for the whole day 25$. Google the details!!! ! Do not take excursions from guides in the hotel, they are more expensive by $5-10!!! ! Near Ginza Travel - take it there.
I hope my writing will help you decide!

All the best!
