The hotel is ideal for families with children. Therefore, the main contingent of tourists - families with children of different ages. However, I would recommend this hotel for children from 0 to 11-12 years old. There is everything for children here: a playground with swings, rocking chairs and children's playground. slide under a canopy, 2 children's pools - one with a depth of 10-20 cm, the other with a small children's water slide - 50 cm, and this is in addition to the main pool. By evening children. the pools were full of sand, but on the trail. day they were clean again, although they were never seen to be cleaned. Paradox! Sunbeds by the main pool and on the beach were always in abundance at any time of the day, but sunbeds near the children's pools should be taken early (before 9 am). However, there were not enough umbrellas near the children's pools. Another inconvenience - the toilets are located far from the pool. In most cases, you had to take the mattresses for the sunbeds yourself, the staff does not carry them, they are usually stacked near the pool.
But it is, little things. Children's club at the highest level, but only for the Germans, who are 70% in the hotel. There is one Polish girl, Monika, who works there, but she does not speak Russian, so the daytime program of the mini-club did not shine for Russian-speaking children. But the Germans rented their kids to the mini-club for the whole day (from 10 to 21) and rested. Mini-club programs are also designed for children of different ages: from 0 to 2 years old (together with parents), from 2 to 5, and from 5 and older. The inventiveness and diligence of children's animators must be given their due. In the evening at 8.30 children's disco - very funny, the children are delighted. As already mentioned, there is a children's table, as well as a children's corner with low tables and chairs for kids. There has never been a shortage of high chairs for very young children.
Now about the hotel itself - located in the village of Kyzylagach. Immediately upon exit there is a bargain. center with jewelry, furs, watches, etc.

A little further there is a bazaar with souvenirs, textiles, leather and so on. So the location of the hotel can be put 5 points. On the territory of the hotel itself there is also a bargain. shops, but there everything is 2 times more expensive. Another hotel is being built nearby, but no construction noise, no dust / stench was noticed, however, as well as the noise-thunder of music from nearby hotels. The hotel does not have a main building, but only bungalows, located in 3 rows with 2 long alleys leading from the reception building deep into the pool and beach. If they settle in distant bungalows, then it will be a 5-minute walk to the beach. Rooms of 3 types: double. bed and sofa (most of them); spacious double. bed and armchair (only end rooms in the bungalow on the left); with 2 single beds beds and an armchair (rather narrow rooms). The beds are quite hard, sometimes my back hurt in the morning. Covering - tiles. Wet cleaning every day, linen change - every 2 days.
The cleaner does not break into the room and does not rush to clean. Our child slept 2 times a day, she managed to clean up while we had breakfast or lunch, for which she regularly received tips. All rooms have balconies. On the balconies - clothesline, 2 armchairs and a table, there is a window with a mosquito net. Towels, things, as well as children's toys / air mattresses can be safely left to dry, no one will steal. The bathroom has a shower. They give out shampoo and soap, but then they don’t report, you have to ask to bring it. If you are used to shower gels, they are not here, bring your own. Air conditioners in the rooms are individual. Our tech, but after talking with the reception it was quickly fixed. The scourge of the hotel is ants. They are in all rooms, no matter how grass. I do not advise you to drag food into the room, a little crumb falls on the floor - the ants take it away in an instant. The administration complained about this, we were given an ant spray. There is nothing more they can do.
The minibar was replenished daily, but if you hang a "do not disturb" sign on the door, you can be left without drinks. In the minibar: 2x200ml Pepsi, 1x200ml Fanta, 1x350ml local. lemonade, 2x200ml soda water, 2x1.5l min still water, 2x200ml cherries. nectar. The mini-bar barely freezes. All local drinks in bars and restaurants are free (beer, wine, vodka, gin, whiskey, brandy, Amaretto-type liquor, as well as gas drinks and 5-6 alcoholic cocktails), the rest is for a fee - 4-6 euros per cocktail. Most TV channels are in German, in Russian there is RTR Planet, in Eng. - BBC, 2 channels with cartoons on it lang. The territory is very well-groomed and green: all kinds of palm trees, ficuses, arborvitae, an abundance of flowers and blossoms. shrubs. From sports. entertainment: mini-golf, tennis, ping pong, billiards (in the games room), aerobics, beach volleyball, darts, archery, outdoor. chess. In addition to children's aq. slides there are 3 more adults. Crushes when using water. slides were not observed.
There are several bars on the territory (even near the children's pool). Food in the main the restaurant is plentiful with a standard set of dishes, you will not stay hungry, but there is nothing for gourmets to do here. Thematic dinners (seafood, Turkish cuisine, Mexican cuisine), the cocktail of the day at the entrance to the restaurant at dinner is distributed to everyone. An abundance of fruits - watermelons, melons, plums, apples, pears, peaches, grapes, figs, oranges, though only watermelon is present at breakfast. Lots of sweets and cakes. Children's meals - warm. milk, porridge, scrambled eggs, baby biscuits, cereals and muesli for breakfast, diet food. table (boiled chicken, boiled vegetables, etc. ) In the afternoon, ice cream in a beach bar. There, immediately after dinner, snacks are served - hamburgers, fresh. vegetables, pizza. Restaurant schedule: 7-10 am - breakfast, 10-11 - late. breakfast, 12-16.30 - snacks in the beach bar, 12-13 - children's lunch, 12.30-14.30 - lunch, 16.30-17.30 - cookies in the panorama bar, 18.30-19.30 - children's dinner, 19-21.30 - dinner, 23.30-00.30 - night. soup. One significant inconvenience is the lack of food from 16.30 to 19.00,

we liked Turkish. evening and evening of musicals, the rest is incomprehensible. The amphitheater, in my opinion, is small, and smoothly flows into the bar, from which it is not visible, but heard. There are night disco (did not go), as well as a hammam with a tour. bath and sauna. Of the vacationers, 70% are Germans, the rest are Russians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Poles, French. Of the Russians, 70% are from Rostov, the rest are Moscow and Yekaterinburg. The hotel has 2 main growth. tour operator: Sunrise and Mostrevel, whose representatives appear in the lobby from time to time. There is a Russian-speaking girl Rodika at the reception, but most of the bartenders and waiters understand a little Russian. Internet in the lobby is free, in their computer. room - 2 euros per hour. We used it a couple of times and didn't charge a dime when we checked out. Conclusion: if you do not sit for hours, you can not worry about the price. This is essentially everything as it is, without embellishment. Despite small flaws (and what hotels don’t have them! ),
we would gladly return to this hotel again provided that the level of service remains at the same level.
