Хороший отель на 1-й линии с большой территорией. Good hotel on the 1st line with a large territory.

This is the base hotel of the TUI agency. Not bad by itself. A huge territory, there is where to walk / sit at a table in the evening, almost on the seashore, and you can go with a glass directly to the pontoon, where you sunbathed during the day. There was a router in the room, behind the telly, so there was a wonderful net, for which a big + (a room in a bungalow on the first floor, almost near the reception). But the "-" of this number is that until 23.00 you need to listen to the evening animation, it's not easy to fall asleep.

The carrier is "Wind Rose", without food, and tea is not even wet ...But you can take bottles and water on board with you (surprised, but 1.5 liters of water did not have to be thrown at customs).

We arrived at the hotel early (check-in after 2 pm), they gave us bracelets (they didn’t give cards for towels), went to the beach to change clothes, and then sat at the table in wet swimsuits.


Hotel -- Wellcome to the USSR. Thieves everywhere - beach towels can not be left for lunch, books, slippers for swimming. I have not seen this for a long time (South Coast of the 90s).
"Population" - the majority Muskvich, Buryats, Kazakhs, in general 90% Rashi. There were a few Turks (well, we are few) and the Poles brothers and ...I did not hear another language. To be guaranteed to take a sunbed on the beach - you need to get up at 6 in the morning (I only had enough for one time), then how lucky 50/50. There is always a line at the restaurant. The queue to enter (at 11.50 and 19.20 there is already a crowd of hungry people at the entrance), a queue to take coffee, fish or meat. If you didn’t go “in turn”, then you need to come in an hour so that there are free tables and the crowd of “starving” subsides.

Now the pros and cons.
+ - There was WiFi in the room (maybe we were just lucky), a large area, the presence of a pontoon lengthens the time for sunbathing and swimming. Trouble-free bartenders, pour everything (cola, beer, vodka, whiskey) as much as you need and in different combinations. The bungalow room is small, but there were slippers, bathrobes and a beach gift bag from TUI.
I would like to note the animators - well done. Yoga, Pilates, stretching, darts, volleyball.
In general, the guys are trying. True pool entertainment from 11.30 to 12.30 in the heat.
Our flight was rescheduled for 7 o'clock, and the room was handed over at 12.00. But, to the credit of the hotel, they didn’t take the bracelets and even left the cards on the towels.
Food is both + and -.
As for the five, then - it does not pull. Yes, she is. But there is no variety. Once there was a dorado on the grill (the queue across the entire hall), and so some kind of tasteless boiled. Chicken and veal meat, salads and just cutting vegetables, rice, vermicelli, potatoes in different variations. Any pastries, every other day watermelon. In the morning, as everywhere - eggs, sausage, cheese, yogurt, jams, apples, oranges, raisins, sometimes Turkish delight. Never had ice cream.
It pulls on 3+ or 4, but not like five.


"-". Theft, and the guards smile sweetly (I didn’t see it, I don’t know, I can’t help with anything).
Representatives from TUI. There is no sense from them. It is important for them to sell you a trip from them, to tell a horror story so that they do not use the services in the city, etc. , etc.
After reading the reviews, we went on the first day, to the hammam in the city. It's not far from the hotel, right behind the chapel and the fountains. Price $15 instead of $25 at the hotel. We asked them to organize bowling for us at the hotel across the road, call, contact their guide for this hotel. Full frostbite. We can't help. Even the appearance of work was not done.
Room cleaning. It's just tuck in the sheets and fold the towels. Good thing the beach is not sandy. As there was dust with hair under the bed, so it remained when we left. On the third day we wanted to change the towels. Left next to them in the bathroom $ 2.
For this, they were neatly folded on a hanger. They didn't get any more money.
Evening animation music (by itself, none) until 23.00 - you won't go to bed early. They breathed, they walked. Children will be a problem.

Bottom line - a good hotel on the first line. A fairly large beach + the presence of a pontoon. The neighboring Grand Hotel 5 * has a smaller beach, and because of this, the people are in darkness.
Good sea, clean and "alive". You can swim behind the buoys, but even so there is where to swim.
If you go to the right of the hotel, there will be LC Waikiki on the corner (we bought some gifts). If you go to the left, you will come straight to the city center (one-time interest). 50m to the left and straight - a chapel and fountains, and behind them supermarkets (if anyone needs it).
On Mondays, 100 meters from the hotel there is a bazaar, you can also buy gifts such as Turkish delight for $ 5.
In general, everything is not bad, good value for money, but probably next time I will look for another place.
