We were at the beginning of December 2009. In general, I liked the rest very much and I want to return there again... The hotel is certainly good, the only drawback was the long distance to the sea and the inconvenient entrance to the water... And now about everything in order. We arrived at the hotel in 45 minutes, because before that we had visited other hotels, arrived at 2 pm their time, settled us right away, before that they asked what floor we would like to live on, what kind of view and so on. The room turned out to be good, and there was not even a thought to change it. We were escorted there by an employee of the hotel, showed how it turns on and where everything is located. They immediately brought the suitcases, we didn’t have to carry them ourselves. So,
1) Number.
On the second floor, spacious, with a large bathroom. In the built-in wardrobe, in addition to hangers and a branded package, there was also a free electronic safe. In addition to the beds, by the way with good linen and a warm but light blanket, and beautiful decorative pillows, the room also has bedside tables with a telephone, a mini-bar (it contains 2 bottles of drinking water of 0.5 liters for free), a flat-screen TV, 4 Russian channels - First, Vesti, RTR-Planet and Muz-TV, a large mirror, 2 armchairs, a coffee table, an ottoman and a soft carpet. In general, it is cozy, large windows-doors leading to the balcony, they have double curtains - one is thin, the other is very dense, through which the light does not pass, so that the light does not interfere at night. The balcony is also spacious, there are 2 large wicker chairs and a coffee table. The bathroom had a hair dryer, toiletries (shower gel, shampoo, body milk, soap, shower cap), 2 glasses, an ashtray, and even a telephone. There was always hot and cold water, the pressure was excellent. The shower is comfortable, a large round watering can, the drain is good, the water did not leak anywhere. Towels perfectly clean, 1 large, 1 small, and 1 more for feet. They were changed almost every day, sometimes every other day, but what was for the legs was always fresh. They cleaned every day, vacuumed, neatly laid out scattered things and shoes, made the bed, wiped the tables, took out the trash. Only the swans were not twisted, although they left a tip. The air conditioner is powerful and works great for both heating and cooling. In general, everything was in order in the room, everything worked, and there are no complaints about the rooms and the service in them.

2) The territory of the hotel and the pool.
Simply excellent - beautiful, well-groomed to the millimeter, large, very comfortable. In the center there is a large swimming pool, with heated water, so its temperature was about the same as in the sea. You can swim as much as you like, you will not freeze, especially during the day in the sun - in general, beauty. The pool has different levels - from 45 cm to 180 cm, so that both children and adults have a place to swim. Every evening it is cleaned, so that the water was always clean. Sun loungers could always be found, although many occupied them in the morning. But even at lunch you can still find a place. Towels were issued in the same place, by the pool, large, not torn, of normal quality and cleanliness according to the cards. You can get them at any time of the day. Music was playing around the pool, including Michael Jackson, foreign pop and Arabic too. In general, the pool itself is made very interesting, inside it there are fountains, decorative stones, paths, steps, bridges, there is even a small cave, which many people liked to climb into, greenery all around, many palm trees, the eye rejoices. In the evening, all the buildings are illuminated in an original way, and all this beauty is reflected in the illuminated pool, it looks great. The paths are clean, they are washed with powder, you can safely walk barefoot. Mosquitoes and flies are poisoned in the evenings, and special traps hang on the palm trees near the hotel's fence. There are also water slides with a second small pool, which is just bad - this pool is no longer heated, so it is cool there in winter, although people rode anyway. There is a stage with an amphitheater where pillows are laid out in the evening and performances take place. The so-called promenade runs along the entire perimeter of the territory - a path with greenery and palm trees, there is where to take a walk. There are bars around the pool, water slides, and the entrance to the main building. Light snacks, salads, mini-pizza, hot dogs, drinks are provided to you almost all day.
3) Nutrition.
We really liked it, every day there was a variety, everything is fresh and very tasty. Amazing pastries, a huge abundance of pastries, cakes, tartlets, etc. The yummy is indescribable, I don’t really like sweets, but it was impossible to refuse these sweets. They cook meat, fish and seafood very well. There were always soups, a large selection of both salads and hot dishes. For breakfast, they will make scrambled eggs to order with any selected ingredients right in front of you. Every evening in the restaurant was dedicated to some national cuisine, while the restaurant was specially decorated, and the waiters dressed in national costumes. You can also visit 2 a la carte restaurants - Chinese and Italian, and an unlimited number of times, but first you need to sign up with the girl sitting on the guest relation. In Italian, I liked pizza - there are several types of it, especially because of it we went several times. And in Chinese, delicious Peking duck, rolls, salads, seafood, by the way, and it’s decorated great. In bars from drinks - cola, juices, gin, tonic, whiskey, vodka, beer, wine of 3 types, they can make a cocktail of your choice, as well as several types of tea and coffee. Drinking water could be taken in the restaurant bar and in the lobby in unlimited quantities for free. They gave fruits - dates, oranges, bananas, grapes, grapefruit, melon, pomegranates, guava. We ate to satiety, no one went hungry, there was even a diet menu. Sometimes there was ice cream, fish/meat skewers. For food, you can put in principle 5.

4) Sea and beach.
They are located on the territory of the neighboring hotel 5 * Tropicana Grand Azure. In order to be allowed into its territory, you need to take a ticket to the beach at the reception. You can take a mini bus that runs every half an hour from the gates of the Azure Club. It takes 5 minutes to drive and 15 minutes to walk. If you walk, you can walk around the territory of the neighboring hotel along the way. The beach itself is large, there are a lot of sunbeds, there were always free ones. There are wind screens, mattresses, umbrellas, tables between sunbeds. We brought towels from our hotel. There is a shower on the beach, a large toilet also with a shower. There are 2 bars - one for snacks and fruits, the other for drinks. There are a lot of tables, there was enough for everyone, you can dine right on the beach so as not to go back to the hotel. The beach itself is sandy, but corals begin almost immediately in the sea. A long pontoon to a depth of about 1 km, at the end of which you can leave things. If you go straight for a few more meters, then a cliff begins and immediately a great depth, where there are many different marine life, but it is difficult to get there, since there are big waves and an abundance of corals, you can hit, which periodically happened to vacationers. If you go to the left of the pontoon, there will be a lagoon with a not very deep depth, there are also fish there, though not in such numbers, but there are no waves, and you can swim safely. Only the water in the lagoon is somehow colder than in the sea itself. Without a mask, of course, you can’t see much, but without slippers there’s nothing to do at all. All this can be bought there, there are many shops near the hotel.
5) Service and animation.
The service was excellent, any issues that arose were resolved instantly, the staff was friendly and not intrusive at all. No one took out or begged for a tip, everyone was smiling and polite, almost everyone knows Russian. Some may even joke, which in principle is nice. Several times they asked if everything was fine in our room and if we needed anything. The animation was also unobtrusive, after breakfast there were water aerobics, you could play table tennis, mini-golf, volleyball, football on the beach, there were belly dance lessons. In the evening there was a Fakir show, a Magic show, a dance evening where national dances from different countries were shown, a mini club worked for children. 3 days a week they were taken to a disco at the Black House Club in Naama Bay, which is considered a popular place for them. It took about 20 minutes to go there, I liked the music that was included there, the latest world hits in club processing, often there were Russians. The people came off in full. Starting at 23:00, back at 3:00. So disco lovers will also have something to do.

6) Location of the hotel and vacationers.
There were many Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, English, Germans, French, Italians, Poles, Greeks were also present, the national composition was the most diverse, so the evening shows were held in several languages ​ ​ at once. There is no special relation to the Russians, everything is the same. Around the hotel there are a variety of mini-markets, tents, shops - you can buy everything for swimming, clothes, shoes, papyrus, oils, photographic products, medicines, food, etc. All hotels stand along one main street, so in the evening you can walk along it, looking at neighboring hotels along the way.
Bottom line: an excellent hotel, food, good rooms, good animation, a nice big beach, warm sea, but it’s difficult to get far and deep, especially for those who are aged or swim poorly. Good value for money. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer, write!
