We rested at the Dana Beach Hotel at the end of October with a family (parents and a child of 9 years old) with friends (the same family) through a TEZ tour. We chose the hotel based on reviews from NETa. There were no bad reviews about this hotel, so we decided on it. But not everything was as in the descriptions (although we drove only with a positive attitude and we are not one of those who are constantly dissatisfied with something). I will write objectively - both pros and cons.
The first negative that I had to face upon arrival was resettlement. TEZ-Turovets did not participate in our resettlement (as was previously the case in other hotels). At the reception, we were immediately told that for a family of three, the Standard room is very small - 20 sq. m. And so they offered a Family-room (managers started with $ 100, but agreed to a surcharge of $ 50). As it turned out, these rooms do not have balconies or terraces.
In general, we ran for 2 hours around the entire huge hotel (it is very difficult for newcomers to navigate the hotel), without an escort in viewing those rooms that they tried to "slap" us for $ 50 (either the 4th floor, or rooms without balconies and etc. ). In the end, after the scandal, we were nevertheless settled in good rooms in building No. 3000. I will explain to those who still decide to go to DANu - Buildings No. 1000.2000, 5000. are far from the beach. They have Standard and Family rooms, the view from half of the rooms is on the fence or household. the buildings. The best buildings are 2-storey buildings No. 3000 and 4000, which are closest to the beach and the view from any room is good - either to the hotel grounds or to the courtyard. All rooms are large, with balconies or terraces.
Now about the service. The food is excellent, varied, in two restaurants. Of the fruits were: apples, pears, persimmons, melons, grapes, guava, pomegranates, bananas, oranges, tangerines.
Waiters in restaurants began to clear the table before they had time to finish eating, they took the plates from under their noses. And when they came to the restaurant before closing, they even wiped the table with rags, despite the fact that we were still sitting and eating. In bars, waiters began to serve near the table only when they were given baksheesh (without this, they even made cocktails reluctantly).
Animation at the hotel is frankly weak, from morning to evening engaged in agitation "HAVANA-club". The hotel does not have its own discotheque, which is why they invited everyone to "HAVANA". We ourselves did not go there, because the reviews of the Slavic brothers were negative. Animators practically do not speak Russian (only one girl was Slavic, but we never saw her). Compared to the animation of the Desert Rose Hotel, which is located behind the fence (where we rested in January 2007), DAN's animation can be given 2 points.
Regarding the pools: there are three of them, but only one is more or less large with a normal depth of 130 cm; the heated pool is very small, although it has a deep place (I think that in winter there will be nowhere to sit there - and the pool is small and there are very few sun loungers near it). The towels that were taken on the beach or near the pools were old and washed out.
Actually, pay attention to the fact that the hotel is more focused on tourists from Western Europe. There are 30 percent of Russian-speaking people in the hotel. The staff treated Western Europeans better (they themselves said that "Russians" leave baksheesh at $ 1, And Europeans - at 1 euro; paid services at our hotel are paid in dollars, and Europeans - the same figure, but In Euro). About the sea: the lagoon is really cold, to see the corals and swim in them, you have to go far along the spit or go into the sea from the pier. There is no pontoon in the hotel! Although it is listed on the websites of tour operators.
About the channel: in the hotel, it performs not only an aesthetic function, but also serves as part of the aeration treatment system. With the onset of evening, a smell characteristic of the sewer system begins to appear from the canal. Those were the downsides.
Of course, there are also pluses: it is a good, well-groomed territory; We also liked the cleaning in the rooms; there were always free tables in restaurants; comfortable and well fed on the beach, etc. If you are going to go for the first time - you will like the hotel! But for those who have already tried to relax in the All Inclusiv system, I advise you to take into account our review - five stars can be even better than in DANE. Also, I forgot - they are very persistently invited to visit the la-carte restaurant "Sea Food". Do not go there! The show there is weak, and you will not see any special food there. They give 3 shrimp per serving, and after asking and indignant about such a weak amount, they answer that the "additive" is over! Better visit the Italian la-carte restaurant! It's better there.
