Good afternoon to everyone who plans a vacation and chooses hotels!! ! We rested from 04/16/2010 to 04/23/2010. I liked it very much!! ! Hotel Desert Rose 5 * on a 5 point system 4.5. And now briefly about the pros and cons. The reception sucks! 2-storey building (2nd floor residential by the way) similar inside to the railway station and smell too. A huge number of hotel guides from many operators, one shop, an Internet cafe $10 an hour (WiFi paid $10 an hour, speed 256 kbps) and two paid restaurants. At the entrance there is a metal detector (it is not known why everyone walks past it), a policeman with a Beretta in a holster and a parking attendant. In the center of this building there is a hill of artificial flowers in pots (on the market for $ 1): -)))))))))))) I have never seen anything like this. Built in 2000 with visible partial cosmetic repairs. By the way, all the tourists who came with us from our city to this hotel settled in this building for reasons that are not clear to us, because vouchers are not so cheap. We, in turn, had a little fight (frightening them with bad reviews on the Internet) and got a two-room suite on the shore of the lagoon (more on that later). The hotel itself is huge in size, unimaginably huge, for a week of rest we did not even visit all the places of the hotel territory. The big minus is that the hotel area is narrow and long, from the reception to the sea about 400-500 meters, and to the main first pool (which, by the way, is being overhauled) 5 meters, the second sports pool with paths with blue water 25 - 30 meters and the third with green water 60 - 70 meters, 100 meters to the restaurant. Many here wrote that buildings 3000 and 6000 are the best, yeah, I completely agree with this, the location is super, but how to get into them? We were charged to pay extra for these buildings at $ 40 per person per day, and we were 4 + 1 children, it was an average of $ 1000 we had to pay extra for these buildings. But comrades, building 8000, which I have not heard of here beyond praise, there are 4 of them in the hotel (2 on each coast), 5 meters from the sea, however, 250 meters from the restaurant. These are the closest buildings to the sea. Rooms are cleaned every day, towels too (but the cleaner always asks to clean or not) Water in the amount of 2 bottles every day, refrigerator and safe in the room. The beach by the sea is large, there are enough places for everyone, but those who did not have time are late. If you haven’t taken a place near the animation bungalow before seven in the morning, then you will have to walk along the beach in order to participate in contests and games. Beach towels and sun loungers are all free. There is sand in the lagoon, super for children and coral slippers are not needed. In the aisles of the hotel territory there is a coral reef, exotic all-inclusive. The reef is of course dead, but there are a lot of fish, of different colors and sizes. The access of marine life to the lagoon is limited, everything is closed with a net and controlled by a specially trained person. The territory is green, gardeners take care of the territory day and night, there is not a pleasant smell from the irrigation systems (apparently, something is added to the water for irrigation). The restaurant has it all! except for pork and dumplings with dumplings. It’s very tasty and there’s a lot of everything, though after a week I got fed up, there is no mayonnaise at all. Animation - super out of 10 people 3 Arabs and one girl from Slovenia fluent in Russian, the rest are Russia, Ukraine. A month ago, the chief animator of SAM (respect and respect to him) took two breakers from Zaporozhye (well done guys, they dance great greetings from Donetsk to them) It is in this hotel that there are practically no foreigners 95% of Russian-speaking tourists, during a week of rest I saw two Arab families, one German and one English speaker, that's all, the rest are Russian. Some write in the reviews that the Russians (bespredelschikov), no, gentlemen, this is not so. For a week, I did not see a single drunk, screaming person. There were no fights, no fights, no scandals. All cultured people are educated people. Children's animation is top notch. I got the truth ARAM - ZAM - ZAM, it seems that all the hotels in the world use the same animation program. Their songs have already been memorized by our entire family and all countries for sure. Karaoke in Russian, live music in Russian, its own nightclub (with free drinks), the staff almost all speak Russian, don't worry, don't learn Arabic, although MARHABA and SHUKHRAN sounds cool in Russian. Diving, surfing all this is in the hotel. Across the road is a network of shops where you can buy everything at normal prices. . No need to go to the city for souvenirs. Tip: 50% of the listed price can be traded freely without hesitation (if anyone does not know). No mosquitoes, no ants on the ground floor. Everything was great, everyone was happy.
