We are not capricious tourists, we love a calm, quiet holiday, we do not need animators and discos. Been to many hotels and have something to compare. I will write a review by category, pros, cons.
Pros:
- located not far from the airport (this is important for me, because I don’t like to drive another hour after an already tiring flight and road to the airport);
- the reef is super, the sea too;
- enough food.
- the rooms are very good;
Minuses:
- I would not say that the beach is especially clean, although they try to keep it clean, but it was cleaner;
- there is no shower on the beach - for me this is the biggest minus, because my husband is allergic to salt and it is not very convenient to run to the pool every time, the same applies to the toilet and at least some kind of locker room.

- attitude towards us, again, I repeat, I’m not a tourist with corrals, but as soon as we arrived there were a lot of Europeans, and now everything is right for them at once, and we are a patient people - like you can wait, then the situation improved a bit, because . the general manager arrived and only then the Arabs ran in front of everyone the same way.
- it’s probably written on our foreheads “WE ARE FUCKERS”, and we can be sucked in everything every day and at incredible prices, with our excursions, tattoos and pigtails they got sick so that for 4 days I courageously endured and smiled when I said that we were not interested in it, on the 5th day, I started to frankly send - there was no more strength, despite the fact that the same people went who sell all this garbage. I understand that this is their job - but I also came to rest, and I have the right not to be bullied. All the same applies to huckster taxi drivers, it is not possible to go out into the street, they attack like a piece of meat.
- of course there are a lot of pools and everything is beautiful, but you should pay attention to the sides - they have not been cleaned for a couple of months, the fingers remain oily and black.
- once you say that you don’t need to clean the room today - they won’t be until the last day, until you poke your nose.
- a stupid system for opening doors with a scratch card, which constantly jammed, you could stand poking it at the door for 10 minutes, and if in the toilet? It was very wonderful.
Well, actually, that's all, the rest passed, the mood remained not bad, but in fact they did not experience delight. My conclusion is that Melia, even by Arab standards, is not a 5-ka. 4-ka yes iron!
