Hello. I was in this hotel with a young man. We chose this particular hotel because we were told that we were going to two hotels - Starlight and neighboring Sunrise. Later it turned out that we were simply, as they say, divorced: I saw people with bracelets from Sunrise on our territory, they walked quite freely there. The only trick is that all the most interesting things are in Sunrise, and we have nothing special to do. Only the hotel is more expensive for some reason. In general, we overpaid. It's a pity, of course, but there's nothing to be done.
Everyone writes about the wonderful nature on the territory of the hotel, it is true. Now about accommodation.
BUNGALOW. Charming houses with tangerines, pomegranates and other beauty. The rooms are cleaned on time, everything is clean, nothing bad smells. Very cozy and good.

NUTRITION. We liked Sunrise better. There is a wider choice, especially meat dishes. Just in bulk and for every taste. But baklava is still tastier in Starlight, I noticed this : ) Do not eat dishes richly seasoned with mayonnaise, this is spoiled food. And also many times I felt a sour smell from zucchini and tomatoes. Apparently, the hotel likes to save money.
In Sarlait, the restaurant is more civilized, wine in an ice bucket on the table, beauty. Only a little noisy: the waiters throw off the dishes in special boxes right in the hall.
Free ice cream is available in Sunrise at the hamburger and kebab counter.
HOTEL CONCEPTS. Briefly. Tourists are divided into several categories there: sucks (orange bracelet), moneybags, moneybags are even richer, and those who generally need, excuse me, lick one place. I don't know the colors of the bracelets for especially outstanding ones - they were red, red with white, blue... It's annoying. We came to the conclusion that the hotel is for those who like to relax like a king and throw money around. It’s just that the hotel has a Thalasso Center (and a Spa, of course), services in which cost big money, and of course, not everyone can afford them. Because of this, I think the hotel is more expensive. Also, the "kings" have rooms in the main building and their own pool with soft sun loungers. The water from this pool symbolically flows like a waterfall on us, the unfortunate ones : ) (there is also a snack restaurant "Waterfall"). For comparison: in Sunrise, I did not see a separate VIP pool, there were only a few VIP loungers by the sea.

SWIMMING POOL. Rating 2. Firstly, small, and there are not enough free sunbeds (go to Sunrise - there are always there). Second, the water is warm. Third, WARNING! The biggest drawback is the availability of a free pool bar. Oooh, this is the home of our most lazy and drinking compatriots. Many times we have seen scenes in style: a child calls his mother, and she refuses and refuses to go to him, sitting well at the counter and drinking some kind of alcoholic cocktail. Or even more beautiful: a company of young men, like 5 or 6 people, hanging out at the bar all day, neighing so that I didn’t hear my own voice, jumping into the pool with wild cries of “You will be fucked right now !!! ! ". . . I'm sorry, but this spoils the holiday. In general, about the Russians in the hotel: people, of course, are different. But in general, we did not have the impression that we were somewhere abroad: Russian is spoken everywhere! We won't be going here again for that reason.
Sunrise has two large pools with cool water and greater depth. There is no bar with liquor by the pools (he is at the kebab stand), and this is sooooo happy.
TOURISTS. The Turks mostly rested and the Armenians, well, we, of course, - 99%! Our evenings were brightened up by the hysterical obscene screams of a Russian young lady on the balcony (then, in the same place, convulsive sobs from the pictures), and one day, walking along the hotel after dinner, we witnessed a fight between a guy and a girl. They climbed a hillock where there is a parking lot for porters; the boy, apparently, was very brave - at the girl and with his legs, and waving his arms. My friend whistled to him, at least the girl was able to run away, and then the people pulled themselves up, they seemed to have stopped acting out. And in general, there were mostly Muscovites, many with an arrogant look and with a typical newfangled accent. And this is enough for me in my homeland, they have already occupied our entire town. (Good Muscovites, don't be offended, I know that you are too. ) Here are some colorful impressions! Well, I say, as if they visited Sochi or Tuapse.
BEACH. I don’t understand those who don’t like that after 2 meters it’s already deep. Have you ever swum in the Rzhev Volga? This is probably for you: 15 meters from the shore - and everything is knee-deep. And nothing hurts to enter there, on the contrary, a pleasant foot massage is obtained. There is a pier on Sunrise Beach, the second half of the rest was just there. We swam with a mask and snorkel, it is very interesting under water - the stones are multi-colored, and the beautiful fish swim. I advise you to take it with you. There are enough loungers for everyone. On the way to the Sunrise Pier there is a bridge over a small makeshift pond for trout, there are a lot of them swimming there. You throw them a piece of bread - they jump out of the water in flocks, it's interesting to see. We fed them about 20 hamburgers (buns).

ANIMATION. Super! Fabulous! For us, and the circus, and dancing, and whatever you want! The animators are incomparable, especially the host of the show. It was upsetting that only our compatriots ran out to all the competitions (the best couple of the Sunrise World, Miss Sunrise World, etc. ). Not interested. And the "golden youth" of Moscow is doubly sickening to look at.
In general, the Starlight Hotel is certainly beautiful and chic. But I would recommend Sunrise. Cheaper and much more interesting. And next time we will probably go to some other country where there are fewer Russians. (no offense)
