Good afternoon, I rested in the Sea Club from November 7 to 14. In short, everything is just great and I have nothing to complain about.
If you have already decided to go to this hotel, I think some of my tips can save you time and money (maybe nerves).
I break it down into points, uninteresting, just skip.
1) Arrival.

(Flew from TurTeza) At the airport, an Indian immediately meets with a sign of your operator and usually sends you to a small queue, where you are given a cardboard questionnaire that you need to fill out, firstly, I advise you to have a pen with you, and secondly, do not worry, which is a lot you don’t understand there - fill in the main points directly from the international passport: Surname, First name, Date of birth and passport number. And everyone there is the name of the hotel, the purpose of the visit, etc. , just ignore it. In the same place where they give a cardboard box, they offer to get a visa without a queue, not for 15 USD. per person, but for 20, don’t be fooled - the queue for a visa, although it looks big, takes exactly 4-5 minutes, you can detect it. You stick the sticker that they give here on your visa and stick it in your passport and scratch it last - passport control, so while you are standing in it, you will have time to fill in these few lines in the cardboard. Then you pick up your luggage and another Indian meets you at the exit and leads you to the bus.
2) Settlement.
Do not rush to poke them the loot in the passport (as I did), because if all the best numbers are occupied, then you bring him at least a car of shark peeps, he will not physically find the number for you. First, see what they will give you like that, because if you don’t like it, then changing the room is 10 minutes and 1 dollar for the porter. Rooms with windows overlooking the inside, ie. the main building and the pool are the noisiest, but if you don’t plan to go to bed at 9-10 (as I did) and prefer to sleep with the windows closed and the air conditioner, then don’t worry, I was just with a child. The sea is visible from most of the rooms, but trust me, you will be at the sea all day, and on the balcony you will mainly dry your underpants, if you are very worried that your underpants look at the sea, then it's up to you. If there is no sea view, then there will definitely be a beautiful view of the green area, with flowers, all sorts of exotic trees, etc. (I lived both with and without a sea view, and I don’t know which I liked more). In some rooms, there are not many of them, healthy ants can really appear when the windows are open, but this is not because the room is outside, or you live on the first floor, but because you are so lucky, and it just blossomed on your arrival in front of your window is their favorite tree or you have spilled a super smelly fruit shampoo, etc. You don’t have to immediately wet the poor ants, they will crawl again anyway, just go to the reception, the guys there speak Russian well and know the word “ant”, just move. (also from my own experience).
3) Territory.

The territory is just huge, green, like a park, you can take a walk and run and jump with your child. Indeed, insects are poisoned a couple of times a day, but this is not very annoying. I even went into this smoke several times to take a picture, I stayed alive and with memory. If all the same it bothers you, sit for 10 minutes either at home with an air conditioner or at the sea, the smell quickly disappears.
There are a lot of mosquitoes, take fumitoxes, one joy is their bites do not itch (AT ALL! ) As from our mosquitoes, apparently they have been training for a long time. Planes don't interfere! (if you don't have aerophobia)
4) Nutrition.
The wife is very picky and careful with feeding her son, he is 3 years old and to our great relief everything is just fine here, they collected food in their deep plate and fed the little one in the room, under his favorite cartoons. I advise you to take a deep plate with you, since there are none there, and those for soup are very small. There were no disorders, everything is clean, the waiters are always in clean clothes, shaved and cut, unlike many of ours. The food is immeasurable, even if you are on a diet or for a child, there is just boiled potatoes, steamed rice, just boiled vegetables, sometimes milk porridge, for breakfast there is always a sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ yogurts (very tasty). Good broths without kilograms of spices. (Good for kids). Try fresh juices for 3 c. u. , very cool, they are served on a tray during meals, and you pay on departure. (just where else will you try Mango fresh? ). I ate lobsters for an additional fee of 2 pieces - 75 bucks, of course it's worth a try, but the impressions are not very bright, they are without claws, current tail, so if the budget is limited, better refrain. Dinners in paid restaurants, mostly 22 euros per person - I liked it better, I ate in French with this money, first they brought carpaccio from fish, then a large crab with shrimp, then the first main course - pasta with seafood, then the second main course - fried tiger prawns, and fondue for dessert. So I advise (just take some euros with you, as their exchange rate is very bad). And in order not to be bad, you don’t have to immediately eat 10 different types of cheese and eat ten different salads - and then say that you got poisoned
5) Sea.

But this is the most vivid impression of the whole trip! The water is bright blue, clear and clean. Corals and fish - just a delight !! ! And near the shore, it’s cool to swim at first, if you’re afraid to immediately go to the depth, but there I won’t describe it at all, you’ll see for yourself. Like in the Black Sea you can't swim with your eyes open, it's very salty. Masks, snorkels, fins with you, they are 2-3 times more expensive there (snorkel 10 USD). Rubber slippers for corals there for 10 bucks of all sizes. It’s just that flip flops or sandals won’t work, don’t even try, you’ll tear your slippers and scratch your feet, you need rubber shoes, such as Czech shoes, so that your feet are completely covered. Children near the shore can swim, especially at high tide, but buy slippers, prick a hedgehog on the very first day - the rest is ruined.
There are enough sunbeds, you don’t have to run in the morning and leave towels on them before breakfast, as many do, this is fraught, since in some cases (I was a witness) towels are fucked up, and you will pay 15 euros for each. (possibly the beach staff themselves)
In the beginning, they often offer massage, but it is not necessarily done by those who offer it, i. e. worrying that your girlfriend will be pawed, some kind of Egyptian stuffed animal is not worth it. My mother took a set of procedures for 100 USD. three times at a time convenient for you, you go to the spa center on site, go to the sauna, then to the jacuzzi, then Taika or an Egyptian (if you're lucky) gives you a massage, I recommend giving a dollar, they try much harder. The ghouls on the beach also offer massages, but I have not seen anyone buy their services, but you can go to the center.
The wind, about which I read a lot from reviews before the trip, does not interfere with anything, on the contrary, like a natural fan, and the pontoon was closed only once before lunch, but you can calmly swim near the shore.

5) General questions:
Slow Internet 5 bucks for half an hour, fruits in the room 10 bucks (better pick up while eating), there are a lot of souvenir shops, but everything is 3 times more expensive than in the city, but if you need a couple of magnets, then I think you should not bother. The photographers who stand near the dining room are so-so, asking 3 bucks for a photo, pay no more than one, no matter how much he wants more. I gave 100 bucks for 150 photos, and the pictures are so-so. If you have a normal fotik - do not mess around.

At bars, especially near the pool, paid cocktails are often offered, I took two - I don’t advise, they are very beautiful, but they don’t differ in taste from free ones, but they cost a lot (Majito 9 bucks), better give him a dollar for a free cocktail and he will make it extremely diligently. Waterproof covers for "soap dishes" for 20 bucks, they really don't get wet, close them tightly, the pictures from a meter distance are very good.
To be honest, he gave out bonuses in the form of a dollar (you can change it right there in the bank) everywhere, but around me everyone was on the rocks, although I didn’t spend more than 10-12 bucks a day (that is, 70-80 bucks for the whole week). One for cleaning the room, they cleaned it very carefully with figurines from the bedspread, and arranging small toys, etc. , one for the waiter during lunch and dinner - both wine and cocktails for my wife were brought quickly out of turn and in any quantities, one for the beach worker - and he looked for sun loungers and brought me himself, and put them where I like, despite how busy the beach was, etc.
So think for yourself: spend these “van dollars” or not
When leaving, they come to pick up luggage half an hour before the bus arrives, get ready in advance.
And the last thing - bydlyatstva was observed only from the side of the Slavic part of the holidaymakers. Believe the Lord, from the outside, how much you know how to thump and how hard to swear at night, it seems cool only to you, for the rest you are miserable worms that prevent others from having a normal rest.
Have a nice holiday everyone.
