I rested in this hotel in May-early June with two children (5 years and 2 years old) and with my mother. We are one of those people who do not look for cons, but simply enjoy their vacation. Therefore, in general, everyone was satisfied. But for those who are going to go to this hotel, I still want to write about the pros and cons. The hotel itself is quite old (we lived in old Seagal), but the territory itself is well-groomed, a lot of greenery, streams, waterfalls, beautifully trimmed bushes, many interesting locations for photo shoots, or just admiring nature. We didn’t like the first room (there was no balcony, it overlooked the pool in a closed courtyard), they asked to change it and, despite the huge number of constantly coming tourists, they gave us a new one, taking into account all our wishes (absolutely free, by the way). The new room was with a balcony overlooking the neighboring building, and if you turn your head, you could see the pool with slides and even the sea.
The hotel has two beaches. The first one is smaller and dirty, but the second one is bigger, the water is clean, there are corals on the left, where you can admire the fish. But the problem is that this beach is narrow and long, and in order to take seats in the first row (so that the children can be seen and they can play on the shore), my mother had to insert at 5 in the morning (a dubious pleasure at sea). If you do not want to be pestered by animators or people offering different services, then you can take a red flag (where they give out towels). As for the animators (adults), they didn’t really strain, but they didn’t endear themselves either. The child was constantly running around in the evening and asking them what the show would be, there was no information about this anywhere and I had to sit after the mini disco and wait for the start. From the evening shows there were primitive competitions, such as Miss, Mister and the best couple... standard... from more or less interesting fire shows, tanura (skirt dance) and that's it.
Separately, I want to note the children's animation. Girls (Ksyusha and Lera) work from Coral (have nothing to do with general animation). From 10 am, the children's program began (they worked with the children in the shade, there were various games, exercises), at 11 competitions, for which the children in the evening (after the mini disco) received diplomas (like a trifle, but the child is incredibly pleased). Also on June 1, the girls arranged a whole pirate quest in honor of Children's Day! After lunch (at 3 o'clock) English, after - sandcastles! Special thanks to Ksyusha and Lera. The eldest child was always "on business", he himself kept track of time so as not to miss the start of the children's club!! ! I collected 10 diplomas during my vacation and I was very proud of it! What else I want to note about the work of the children's club. When I brought the child for the first time, they gave me to fill out a questionnaire (with my contact details, information about the child, whether there are any allergies, whether he knows how to use the toilet, what is possible, what is not, the characteristics of the child). This, in my opinion, is a very correct and individual approach! For children, there are also water slides, a swimming pool, a very beautiful unusual playground, a mini zoo... If your priority is to make your child happy, gain new positive emotions, then you are here!

On the menu... everything is stable and almost the same. In principle, they cooked delicious, but rather monotonous. Fridays were fruit holidays. Once - apple, the second - watermelon (this is for dinner). There was meat, fish, and squid a couple of times. Basically, you won't leave hungry. Considering the situation with covid, the food is given out "behind the glass", the guys in masks, with gloves put even more than they should, sometimes I asked them for less, that is, there are absolutely no problems with this. They noted such a feature that at the beginning of our holiday, when there were many Egyptians in the hotel, the food was a little better. Every day there was physalis, for example, and then where it disappeared completely : ( this also applies to several more dishes.
To summarize and answer, or would we return to this hotel, then only for the sake of the kids club! We have been to many hotels, but we saw it for the first time to do this with children! Otherwise, I did not notice the special advantages of the hotel and what would distinguish it from others (except for the super good location, which has already been written about many times).
