Well, hello!!!
It's been a few days since I returned from the LTI Grand Azur and I'm still there...
In a word, the holiday was a success.
Despite the definitely positive impressions, I will try to write a review objectively.
Tour operator Karya - no complaints. All on time, no hitches. Also thanks to the guide!

The room is superior. In principle, it differs from the standard sq. m. , and is located closer to the sea. There is a kettle, coffee, tea, dry cream in the room. Cleaning is good (left 5-10 pounds).
Territory - no words. Much has already been written about her.

Food...You know, they write here about monotony...With all my desire, I could not even try everything I wanted...There are just people who are constantly dissatisfied with something...There are a lot of dishes, they really varied and delicious. There were no a la carte restaurants (there was no need). Sweets ...eh ...Yesterday I bought baklava and various small cakes in oriental cooking ...YES-LE-KO is not it.

I speak with full responsibility: sweets in Turkey are worse. Yes, in fact, food in general is absolutely in no way inferior to Turkish, and in some places it wins confidently!

The sea...The sea is magnificent! The sea is warm, the sea is amazing. The richest reef. After a walk of 800 meters, eyes on the forehead climb from the miracle seen in the sea.
Animation is ok. Many complain that it is not. In fact, people themselves do not go to all sorts of activities and entertainment during the day. Children - yes, they run to the animators with pleasure. And adults (not all, of course) drink beer on the beach and near the pools...

Tours. 1001 Nights at the Fantasy Palace: A very beautiful palace! Architecture, national style - a feast for the eyes. 2 performances. 1 - in Russian about the history of Egypt, 2 - an entertaining show. Basically, nothing special. 150 meters to the left of the hotel there is a shopping complex "Jasmine center". There, in the evenings, the show program "for their own" is much better !! ! and dance with skirts, and national dances, and songs ...
Also there is very tasty Turkish coffee and a cocktail of 3 Barracuda fresh juices.

Diving. It is great! Recommend. I bought the tour not from a guide, but from a guy from the hotel's diving center (his name is Bebito). Judging by the reviews of the guys who bought diving from the guide, everything was not so great ...

Old market (Old Market). Good cafes, restaurants, a good selection of souvenirs, hookahs. Buy a hookah heavy, cast. SMOKE YOUR LIKE ON THE PLACE!! ! At the same time, relax, drink hibiscus, chat with the seller. After that, they are more willing and faster to bring down the price. Make sure all the details are in place. More than 35 dollars a hookah 50-80 cm high is not worth it. It is better to go to the old market during the day - fewer people, and more time to choose from. Minibus - 3-5 pounds per person, taxi - 30-40 pounds. Tip: hail a taxi BY YOURSELF. Barkers go there, who inflate the price, and take the difference for themselves.
One more note: when you buy a visa on arrival - give a large bill (100 dollars, for example), and ask for change in pounds.


And the last: Guys! Be people! There is a wonderful staff! Do not swear, and do not act like "Azm is the King" !! ! I observed such situations that it was not only ashamed, but also disgusting! The hotel was originally focused on Italians, Germans, English, therefore, the staff speaks Russian worse than other languages. Speak in simple words, for example, NOT "give me some vodka", but "1 vodka, please. " Learn a couple of elementary words in English. Communicate, respond, do not go with disgruntled faces.
And, SMILE, gentlemen! You will love it!
