We rested for two weeks, with my husband and two children, a son of 12 years old and a daughter of 1.9 years old. Based on the age of the children, they chose the country, the resort, and the hotel. Despite fears and expectations, both we and the children were very satisfied. At first, I didn't want to leave.
Pros:
1. Super flight - 1 hour 20 minutes, the children do not have time to get bored, they endure the flight calmly.
2. Minimum acclimatization, the sea is much warmer and more comfortable than in the Crimea.
3. The hotel is more than a compact territory - a minus compared to Turkey and even more so Egypt, but a plus for those who need to run after a child and with a child : ), and at the same time noticeably more than other hotels. For the RFP, the proximity to the beach is really unique, despite the steps from the entrance to the lobby.

4. The room is a new, fairly high-quality repair in 2012, the rooms are fully consistent with the photo on the site; you can relax for those who are accustomed to Turkey, and those who came from the Hilton-Hyatt from Europe. Superior - 32-35 meters, absolutely comfortable accommodation for two adults (three if necessary), an adult child and an infant (free bed), beautiful balcony with furniture, direct sea view, silence after 23.00
5. Ultra inclusive - long, early breakfast (from 7.30), early lunch (from 12.00), early dinner from 18.00 - great for small children, drinks almost non-stop, slightly imported and local quite good quality - vermouth, whiskey, brandy , wine and beer.
6. Quality of food - for adults: from time to time it is better than good Turkey due to the assortment and types of meat preparation (pork, lamb, beef, chicken - always, minced, stewed, grilled). For children - yogurt three times a day - sweet and sour, soups - mostly transparent for lunch and dinner, two or three types, for breakfast porridge - semolina almost every day, milk oatmeal, less often rice, pancakes, eggs. Boiled rice, potatoes, pasta, cauliflower - can be added to the broth if necessary. Quality fruits, always a lot - peaches, watermelons, grapes, apples, plums. Good coffee, juices - you can drink, but without fanaticism : ).
7. Pools are small, but clean and pleasant, for small children it is better to go to the beach - sand, shallow water, non-slip.
8. Mild conditions - fruits, drinks in plastic are allowed in the room, for the youngest a couple of times they carried food in a food thermos. But the staff also rides in an elevator with vacationers with carts with linen, dine in the same restaurant, etc.
9. Around the embankment with attractions and swings, restaurants, bars, shops
10. Animation - a little because of the territory, but both children really liked it, especially the animators and the evening disco for kids for the little ones.
11. Very high quality and inexpensive massage, cosmetic incl.
Minuses:
1. Towels are only numbered, you need your own for the beach and the pool (7-15 euros near the hotel).
2. The guide is not a hotel guide, but for the operator - for 25 hotels of the resort, all the details about the hotel are at the reception, from the guide there is only a transfer, if desired, excursions.


3. The beach is municipal, the cleanliness is very relative, smoking is not prohibited, there is a paid one (sunbed 4 euros, an umbrella 4 euros, a mattress 2 euros) and a free zone - in front of the sunbeds and behind them. If with children - more comfortable free - closer to the water.
4. Gym - a gazebo with one barbell and two broken simulators.
5. The miniclub is really mini - one swing, a slide, and a gazebo for drawing, but again, the children, quite spoiled, were happy.
Total: we had a great rest, we didn’t even expect such a service, especially in comparison with our native Crimea and the money required for it. Didn't want to leave.
Have a nice rest!
