I just got around to writing a review.
I chose a hotel 4 days before departure (a last-minute tour, so to speak), because, from what was available from tour operators from 5 * with slides and carousels, but not at a crazy price, the choice fell on this hotel.
Traveled with a 4 year old. The child liked it, because there are a lot of pools, water slides, inflatable pools with sea water on the beach (if there were big waves, then the children were afraid to go into the sea, they were knocked down and it was unpleasant for them to walk on stones, then these pools were very helpful ), the children really liked the hotel free amusement park (worked in the evenings), cars, an inflatable trampoline on the playground (although it is already a bit old). Mini disco, like in other hotels, then after it some kind of children's cartoon in Russian was shown in the amphitheater. The mini-club consists of several rooms, they have their own children's toilet and washbasins (which is nice), in one of the rooms they show cartoons on disks to those who wish (I also somehow watched with my child : -)), in the other two rooms they draw and play different games. True, only one children's animator spoke Russian, and then with an accent. At midday, delicious sweets were given (to everyone) near the pool bar and ice cream (to children) in the playground. On the beach there is also a sandbox for children under a canopy, there are also trampolines, but already old ones.

On the path from the hotel to the sea there is a mini-park with benches, full-length figures of camels, exercise machines (it’s hot to touch them during the day, but it’s good in the evening), a football field, billiard tables under a canopy. You can walk to the beach, or you can take a mini-car plying through the territory.
The hotel rooms are not bad, although I had problems with the key card, the contacts were bad, the light did not turn on, I had to change it (as in many hotels, it already needs repairs).
They settled us quickly and without problems and without any additional payments there, which is nice.
Even during our stay in the hotel there was a fire (wiring). An unpleasant sight. Everyone was frightened, everyone from the building was urgently asked to leave, it was in the morning, we were not even quite awake yet. They seized passports, tickets, money and phones. Many ran out with all their luggage. It took four hours to put out the fire. Then for another 2 days it stank of burning in the building, the entire reception burned down and it was urgently rebuilt.
Meals: you won't leave hungry, but there are many shortcomings that cannot be in five-star hotels.
Conclusion: the hotel is not 5 *, I will not say that I am disappointed with the rest in this hotel, there is no such feeling, but I don’t want to go back there again : -)
