Hotel ratings by criteria:
If you are a pensioner or a disabled person, and not exclusively of Russian nationality, then you are here. Everyone else needs to stay as far away from this hotel as possible for a number of reasons:
1) Terrible sea. The bottom is all in the stones, you can hurt your legs. I went on the first day, and after that I swam only on neighboring beaches;
2) Bad attitude of the staff. They only know German. Or they pretend. The inscriptions are only in English and German. Russians are not noticed, the waiters in the bar serve only foreigners, Russians are bypassed. Alcoholic drinks are served only at the bar, and then with a terrible grimace, as if you were taking the last one. They pour two drops of cognac, and put 8 pieces of ice, thereby hinting to drink and don't come back. The mood to drink disappears immediately. Went to drink in a restaurant. The average check is $100-150.

3) Disgusting animation. Completely devoid of a sense of humor, the Turk speaks only broken German. At 22:00 he puts the German children to bed and goes home. There are no discos. You have to go to the city and pay $ 100 for each visit to the disco.
4) Abundance of foreigners. Rested in August 2009. Of the 230 residents, there were only 48 Russians. 90% of them are married couples with children. Almost no one talked to each other.
5) The hotel guide from Coral is a complete minus. Speaks with tourists in raised tones. Answers questions only at certain times from 5 to 7, sends the rest away. Excursions are sold only on the first day. Makes you buy all sorts of rubbish. When traveling to which it turns out that half of the speaker is missing. And unspecified moments emerge, such as a mountain serpentine of 127 sharp turns, travel times and distances much longer than agreed.
The only thing that I liked was the Turkish bath and massage. It is held by natives of Georgia, so there is at least some mutual understanding with them.
