It is so good to give the body a portion of the sun, to start the summer a little earlier, to support the forces that have weakened over the winter... In the new year, we will definitely go again at the same time - the end of March-beginning of April.
It was our first trip abroad, behind the shoulders of the Crimea, the Caucasus. It was scary to goof off: not to get what you paid for or to demand what is not supposed to... The choice of the hotel turned out to be more likely for the price, the offer was tempting - all inclusive, five ($ 1250 for a family of 3), TEZ TOUR.
Everything turned out to be not so terrible. The flight was without delay, they were already waiting at the hotel, quickly settled - the numbers were already entered opposite the names, the luggage was brought next. Our standard room turned out to be in the main building - two beds: double and one and a half, coffee table, armchairs, refrigerator, TV, dressing table, wardrobe, air conditioning. Everything is in working condition, boiling white linen. Our child especially liked the balcony - two armchairs and a small table. Moreover, in the room we practically only slept. Hot-cold water and everything you need for hygiene. They cleaned the room on demand - they warned in advance, if you want cleaning, then you hang a sign on the door, if not, then no one will disturb. We left the cleaner a dollar each when we left the sign. Towels were changed daily, sheets a couple of times. And that suited us just fine. Nothing was ever lost, everything was left in the room, especially valuable in suitcases.

The attendants are constantly at work, in green uniforms - gardeners, in orange - hotel workers, in white - beach staff. Always smiling, trying to say something friendly.
The weather was wonderful, in the evenings, as expected, a little cool in the evenings (17-20) and hot in the afternoon (28-34), the water in the sea is warm. It’s not hot yet, you can lie on the beach without a threat to your health.
We went in general for the sake of the sea, so everything else is just the prose of life. The water was warm, no waves (by the way, about the waves - if you wish, there is a pool with an artificial wave, you can jump). The sea - three beaches for every taste - with sand, with a plastic floating pontoon and with a concrete pontoon (it is flooded at high tide). Each has its own charms, but, most importantly, you can enter the water on one pontoon and swim along the wall of the reef (everything is like in an aquarium), lowering your head into the water, to the next pontoon, without fear that later you will not be able to get out of the water or not strong enough to return. There are especially many fish on the concrete pontoon, you go into the water and they circle around (but between the beams there are sea urchins, scary - but exotic). The child was given a life buoy so that he lowered his head in a mask into a hole - no random wave would overwhelm. Crabs run like spiders over the washed out canopy of shell rocks, which is quite unexpected when you find it for the first time above your head. Unforgettable impressions, every time you grab a camera and click-click. And there is such beauty under water that we could not resist and bought a disposable Kodak for underwater shooting, although it is film, the pictures were digitized later and everything turned out well - this is still by experience.
The water is salty-salty, the second in salinity after the Dead Sea - useful, almost a balm for the body. So useful with pleasant.

Towels are provided around the pool and on the beaches, so you don't have to wear them. Of course, there are a lot of stairs, it’s hard for people aged, but if it doesn’t bother you, then it’s nice to walk among the flowers (maybe when it’s summer and hot, then there’s no time for walking). The hotel is big, there is enough space for everyone. Vacationers - a complete international. By April 1, the school holidays were over and the Russians in the hotel had significantly decreased - the service in the restaurants had become better. Immediately you can say, we ourselves and to blame - the people managed to carry from the buffet to themselves on the table what is for general use and make fingers fan on comments - "like, I have everything included, silent, black eyes. " You can fall through the ground.
Fruits were in season - strawberries, guava, melons, dates, apples, pears, oranges and tangerines. With no restrictions. From seafood - clams, octopuses, shrimps, squids. Any fish. Vegetables and baked goods are excellent. In the evenings, some kind of barbecue - fish, chicken, cakes on the fire. Everything is fun to try.
We went to the Old Market and also to the crocodile show. The rest will be this year.
