I chose the hotel for a long time and thoroughly, the reviews of vacationers played an important role, therefore, only after returning, I write my impressions. The weather during this period is not bad: the air is 25-27 gr. , in the evening - 16-17 gr. , water -21-23 gr. (approximately, according to sensations, because there are no thermometers anywhere). A slight wind blew, more often in the morning before 10 o'clock or after 15 o'clock, for 2 days the sea was closed, rather because of the wind, because the waves were small. The hotel is beautiful, with a large territory, many waterfalls, pools, flowers, greenery. In the evening - amazing illumination of palm trees, stairs, pools and the entire hotel as a whole. The staff is polite, not intrusive. there was no extortion. Near the pool and on the beach, drinks are brought to the sunbeds; upon arrival at the reception, soft drinks were also offered. The rooms are quite big, everything was fine. The cleaner we got was not very diligent, but these are trifles. The reception initially said that gels, shampoos, conditioners, etc. are replenished daily (there were three of us in the room), but in fact we had to ask the cleaner. Beds and towels in the room were white and clean. towels changed daily. But the towels near the pool are old and ugly. There are a lot of sun loungers by the pool and on the beach, despite the rather large number of people - there were always a lot of free ones. The beach is huge and quite clean. Both on the beach and by the pools there are decent beautiful, clean, comfortable toilets, where at any time there was paper, liquid soap, working dryers and rolled small towels near the washbasins. On the beach, the artist Ahmed draws pictures, for some reason they are rather gloomy, but on request he can draw anything, he sells almost for nothing (compared to Kiev prices). Beautiful sea, clean water, lots of fish. Along the coast (if the sea is on the right) you can walk in 3-5 minutes to a small market between the Baron Resort and Baron Palm hotels. There is also a small supermarket and a couple of shops if you walk from the hotel to the right until the turn with the Supermarket sign, go to the road, turn right again and walk 300-350 m. We didn’t find anything interesting near the hotel. Taxi to Naama Bay - 7-8 dollars, to the Old City - 10 dollars. But above all praise in the hotel, of course, the food, it covers all the minor flaws. It was written about in previous reviews - everything is true. A lot of meat in different types, every day something new, very tasty cooked. Lots of fish and vegetables. sweets and fruits, delicious ice cream (in the main restaurant from 12.30 to 15.00, in bars near the pools and on the beach from 16.00 to 17.00) and espresso coffee (in the central bar). The central bar is open around the clock. There are many Russians in the hotel, but there are also enough foreigners. We did not notice the difference in addressing us and foreigners, the staff is very friendly. On my birthday, they congratulated me with a cake, a trifle. but nice. The animation was, but not intrusive, we were not very interested in entertainment, I saw that they were constantly fiddling with children, and adults were called to volleyball, water polo, aqua aerobics, yoga, dancing. In general, we recommend the hotel. Almost everything she said can be seen in the photo.
