Rested family (me, wife and daughter 11 years old) from 2 to 9 November. I liked everything without exception. I think the hotel is ideal for a relaxing family holiday. A large, very green, well-groomed territory with taste - almost a park, i. e. not even a park, but a botanical garden, with an artificial river, bridges, a huge number of all kinds of flowering tropical plants, cacti, etc. , along which you can take a good walk. One of the pools has excellent slides suitable for both children and adults. The rooms are ok for the money. The environment is not new, but decent. Everything works, the plumbing does not leak, there are no smells, the safe is free, the condo is blowing. The only drawback is that there may be mosquitoes in the room. Who cares, take a fumigator. Cleaned well every day. Left $1. The food is excellent for my taste. There is a choice. Meat, fish always. Seafood crabs, octopuses, squid all sorts. Full of side dishes, salads, olives. The drink vendors stopped paying attention to us on the 3rd day, although I left them. Well there is no way. I'll go to the bar and go myself, but I stopped leaving. I have never seen such a sea, only on TV. The water was clearly more than 24C and starting from 6.30 in the morning. By lunchtime, in general, I dived into the pool to cool off. Like in a bath. Clean normal beach, which almost always has a place. The absence of a beach bar is a clear plus - the beach is clean, and climbing 20 m up and walking 20 m to the pool bar did not bother me personally. We didn't buy special shoes. You can’t walk on corals and it’s uncomfortable.
Where walking is possible, it is easy to do this in beach flip-flops or sports-type sandals. There are hedgehogs, but there were very few of them and they hid normally. You don't come by accident. You can go swimming barefoot. From the beach, the entrance to the "puddle" is sandy. Pierce is understandable. Swimming on the reef (from the pier) is peculiar - you have to adapt. There is a strong current for women and children, practically, they cannot be pulled out against it. My daughter and I at such moments swam with the flow - to the pier of a neighboring hotel. Kaif - you lie face down, you don’t need to do anything at all, you know, look at the fish. Entering the water from the pier and getting out of the water is not immediately possible. But people are to blame. They create confusion everywhere. They enter where the exit is and vice versa. They sit on the stairs. They are afraid to swim away from the stairs. In other words, if you are a resident of a large city and are used to public transport during rush hour, then there are no problems. Well, step on someone's flipper on the head, they will be heard. I won’t write about the reef - I won’t find such a beauty. The service staff is extremely polite and friendly. Opposite the hotel there is a shopping complex with a mini market, souvenir shops and a pharmacy. We went there 3 times. We did not encounter any manifestation of hostility or rudeness. The pharmacist understands and speaks English well. In general, I can safely recommend to everyone who is not inclined to look for spots in the sun, except for young people, it will be boring.
