We chose the hotel on the basis of the best of the worst. After reading a bunch of reviews, we stopped at this hotel, as we were traveling with two children, the youngest 1.2 years old, we were led by someone's review that they settled immediately upon arrival, without waiting for the check-out time and a baby cot was supposed to be in the room. We arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock in the morning, already at that time the stuffiness was impossible, we were taken to breakfast. We saw that some of the vacant rooms had already been cleaned, and hoped for a speedy check-in, but, alas, we were not settled until two o'clock, seeing how we were suffering with a small child in the hall from the heat, so my daughter had to sit on couch, rocking and putting to bed. Finally, having entered the room, we were slightly shocked, since the pictures of the rooms on the agency's website did not at all correspond to what they saw. The rooms are very small, two beds, one bigger, the other small, a bedside table between them, opposite a table with a mirror, in which there is a refrigerator and on which there is a TV. Opposite the large bed is an air conditioner that blows directly onto the bed. The toilet has a shower cubicle, very crowded, you can't turn around. All furniture a la 80s. Of course, I didn’t see cockroaches and mold, but it was the worst room in my life. The air conditioner was very noisy, we told the administrator about it, they came to us, sealed something with electrical tape, it became a little quieter, but at night it was turned off from time to time anyway, in order to sleep a little in silence, when it became stuffy, we had to turn it on again. They never gave us a crib, it turned out that they didn’t have any at all, so a small child slept with us. I did not understand their blankets or bedspreads, some large waffle towels, it was simply impossible for the three of them to cover themselves. Cleaning was done every day (only one day they didn’t), well, as they did, they changed the bag of garbage in the toilet and wiped the floors. The bedding was changed once in 10 days, apparently, they change it once a week. Towels twice, and then those that were too dirty. Toilet paper when finished, they themselves went to take. We lived on the second floor, overlooking the sea, there is a large balcony, ropes for drying clothes are stretched on the balcony, there is a plastic table and two or three chairs, also plastic. Across the balcony there is a terrace with three tables and chairs. . On TV they show two Russian channels - the first and TNT. The food was good, the breakfast was a little poor, but, on the other hand, we also eat muesli with milk and coffee and sandwiches for breakfast at home. From hot rice, french fries, rustic style, mashed potatoes, pasta, stewed and baked vegetables, sometimes fish, but mostly chicken cooked in different ways, meatballs and soy cutlets. Of the fruits were only watermelons and melons. In the bar, my husband took beer, he said it was normal, I took wine several times in the evening, so-so, if with ice, then generally water-water. The pool is good, clean, but we hardly swam in it, we went to the sea. The sea is across the road, there are large pebbles on the shore, and there are large boulders in the sea, we didn’t go there, we went to a wild beach, there is sand, we walk two or two and a half kilometers, we took a stroller at the hotel, there are two, but one is completely absent , they took the one that is better, though she doesn’t have seat belts or a roof, but still, it’s not possible to drag a child in her arms. We went on excursions, took them from a guide, were not satisfied, promised 6 in one, expected to see six attractions, as a result, three of the six attractions were jewelry, fur coats and textile centers, which we didn’t need in figs, especially went with a child. We went to the hammam for 2 hours for $10, we really liked it there for that kind of money, however, at the end the massage therapist talks about problems and begins to impose other types of massage that cost not $10 at all. When leaving the hotel, there are solid merchants to the right and left, so buy souvenirs before leaving, walk around, ask the price, the difference is $ 1-2, but for our money this is a tangible difference. Across the road in front of the sea is a beautiful park with fountains, bridges, lights, it is especially beautiful in the evening when the lights are turned on, a little to the left of the park is a playground. Walk a little to the right, you can find a supermarket, water is 4 times cheaper there than on the street, fruits are also. Here you will not find baby milk like "agushi" or "tyoma", there are yoghurts like "rastishki", but we have an allergy to them, we bought simple yoghurts, in the supermarket it is in volumes from half a liter to 5 liters, and added a little jam (served for breakfast), my daughter ate. You won’t find diluted milk porridge either, it’s better to bring it with you, some kind of milk mixture is sold in the market, but we also brought it with us. There are small children's juices, but it is not clear from what age, when the brought ones ran out, we bought these. So it is better for a small child to take more with him. Well, and finally, you can get used to everything, if you do not pay attention to the little things, then everything is not so bad.
