The hotel is new, the reviews are nothing, I had to take risks (I wanted champagne) Now I will take the rap. And I’ll say right away that this four will surpass most of the fives (Jazz comrades are harmful). The reason for choosing a windy place (hot September), novelty, intriguing comments and a proven network. Borrowed from Tui, Kyiv. Upon arrival, the painful waiting of the covid checker in a hot plane. Always control in the port, and then a full house with arrivals and such sadism. But further running according to the knurled scheme - visas in the bank, border guards, SIM cards, luggage. I met a run-in taxi driver, the road is 45 minutes
Receptionist seemed rather modest and tired in places. As it turned out, Solymar is a redeemed part of the Caribbean. Ennobled, refurbished, but in some places the old hotel is visible. We were met coldly, despite the baksheesh. Difficult negotiations, they say, take the lower floor on the passage, while they give. We barely fought back and got 2m femel (I think the superiors went to the stop). The hotel did not enter at first. Manager excitedly showed off the territory, and I was hopelessly sad. The feeling that we were divorced did not leave, because they paid far from the budget. Girlfriend reassured, they say, relax in a submarine
Room in the 3rd building, the center of the hotel, a long 4-storey building, a new spacious elevator. Room 3249, view of the bass. Three beds in a row, from the middle one they made a barricade of pillows, each in a zone. Fresh furniture, tea set, plasma, refrigerator, table + 2 chairs. Lots of drawers, which is a win for the Jazz. Lighting jazz-intimate, there are enough sockets. The wardrobe is small and short. The bathroom is fresh and spacious, new tiles, hair dryer, soap dispensers on the wall. Hanging shower (weak pressure), no hood, doorways left old, noisy condo is also inherited. In general, the room is good. I was pleased with the perfect linen, towels on the floor, bathrobes, slippers at the first request. But the real happiness was to get soft pads. For the first time in years, I slept NOT on a towel. Blankets are also 5+. You go to bed just meow. Beach towels are changed in the evening in the rooms, complete with sacks. Cleaner Mohammed great luck, attentive, caring, every whim, cleaning is excellent. Nice balcony, comfortable chairs. All rooms in the hotel are 50m, only equipment differs. Alarm, there are rooms with a view of the fence. Pleased with a good old building. Excellent soundproofing, no corridor-neighbor fuss. It also has superb insulation. You come out of the wild heat into a cool room. Blind curtains, the night cuts in during the day

The territory is essentially non-existent. Long gut to the beach. Between the buildings of the Basiki, a cool water park for small ones, the buildings are poked, the greenery is purely formal. The hotel is big, there are a lot of people, scurrying back and forth on one route. You can settle anywhere, you can't save on walking. Not immediately discovered the upper platform of the main building. Your own bar, pleasant bright sofas, overview, airflow, relaxation gatherings. There is nowhere to go outside the territory, travel and desert. Unless you go to the Caribbean, they calmly let you in, like the former. There the territory is large and green, they walked in hopelessness. There is a pharmacy
The food killed on the spot and it became clear what was paid for. Huge assortment, varied, tasty, delicacy, creatively decorated. Stylish service, everything is fresh. Marine reptiles in a day. More precisely, 3 times a week (disgrace)) Shrimps are sometimes overdried, crabs are excellent, storm fish are yum. They charge you how much you take. Red fish in abundance once a week for dinner, in the morning generously in rolls. Tunas, sheep, various meats. Breakfasts are served in BaKhatom. Hummus, baba ganoush, falafel super. Croissants are a bomb, a lot of honey jams and all sorts of bells and whistles. Great selection of cheeses, decent sausages. Heaps of fruits. Figs even in the morning, several times they gave mangoes. Watermelons, peaches, plums, grapes, pomegranates, guava and tede. The quality of the products is excellent. Desserts are better to bypass, stupidly scoff. And in the Italian a la carte, tiramisu and cheesecake are simply masterpieces. If you find fault, the meat is not always soft and they are wise with salads (Makadina is a champion here) But most importantly, no urya fences! Come, take, I don't want to. How many were in covids, only here, as in the good old days
Drinks are weak, here the four rummaged. Wine from a barrel. The gin tonic didn't work. In short, oenophiles are better off with them. Fresh for a fee. Coffee is delicious in the vending machines, in the lobby there is a surrogate, jazzy teas are worthy. Bottled water (one and a half liters per room, half a liter everywhere) Packaged juices only in the lobby.
The contingent, as for covid, is excellent. The bulk of Eastern Europe, a few Germans, British, local decent (rather Saudis), children are calm. Our units. The situation, despite the decent occupancy (70-80%) comfortable. No queues and crowds, everything is dignified and noble. Mostly young people and a little over 40

The animation is lively, but unobtrusive, the team is big, sung. Some came from Makadina. There are many evening events, but we pass (we got up early, we fell early) And then, in the heat, an extra minute in the air is torture. The amphitheater is brand new. The beach regularly has aqua and all sorts of belly dances. Muzlo-dvizhlo in one part of the beach, in the other relax
The beach is small for such a large hotel. The sunbeds are not closely spaced, but there were not enough umbrellas as people arrived. They threaten to expand, but only at the expense of whom. On the left, the wasteland is clearly alien, on the right is the hotel. On the beach at dawn, we are not alone. Sometimes it is still dark, and already the entire 1st line is busy. So the rumors about our brother-invader are greatly exaggerated. Okay, we have a morning swim, but they can’t sleep. Sun loungers made in Spain. Lightweight, brand new, it is a pleasure to relax and move around. They looked with horror at the heavy coffins of the neighboring inter (palms), in the heat this is critical. By the end of the holiday, a high protection was built along the beach, reducing blowouts. Cool open beach restaurant. Twice a week open for dinner, live music. Decent snacks, starting with breakfast. Lunch is not inferior to maine, fast food and does not smell, a full meal. Good service, cloth napkins. Grill, good pizza. Beach bar bazaar-station and service hard case. The waiters are speechless retarded student interns. No bakshees help, often you have to run yourself. Although the service on the beach is already a bonus
The sea was insanely pleased (not to be confused with the fish) We are lovers of swimming from the sand for a long, long time, everything is gorgeous with this. The salinity here is record-breaking, the dried swimsuit stands on end, but the skin does not dry out. I didn’t take a mask, as if there were no living creatures. And when I swam in viewing goggles and two turtles met in one swim, I really regretted it. These beauties graze on the virgin lands. To the left is a large wasteland, a virgin sea, grass at the bottom. Fish are gray in flocks. The place is very windy, but the sea is calm, sometimes slightly undulating. The views are gorgeous, the color of the water is extraordinary, the entrance is perfect everywhere, the sand is Maldivian. Flying kite surfers decorate the landscape. Walking along the coast is a pleasure. But the fishermen will be bored here. I note that despite the wild heat, the sea cooled down significantly in two weeks and was abnormally refreshing for September, hinting at a cold winter
Service is inconsistent. Maine, housekeeping for a solid five. Cleaning of the territory is lame in places, but in general order and cleanliness. The receptionist will say nothing. Let me just say that Russian-speakers will find understanding in the literal sense, not a fact, in a figurative sense. Beach service needs to be improved. In a hotel with English, there is a general problem, you always knead your fingers. The feeling that the team is raw does not leave, they are still getting used to it. Rescued and pleased the managers who passed from Makadina. Recognized, pampered. It was a pleasant shock to meet Lyubanya, the former GR of Makadina. Immediately, the hotel forgave a lot. Love is already a guest manager, has earned a Pro Human. The indefatigable Golden Rypka introduced detours along the beach, grants any desire (limited))

Little things. Wi-fi only in the lobby, on the beach and then lame. Simka steers (there is no instant connection in the port, you have to wait and conjure) Free of charge: table tennis, 2 American billiards, boccia, table football, a brand new small rocking chair (Technojim simulators). SPA with a needle, for a fee. On the border with the Caribbean dive center. On the other side is a kite surf school and rental. There is a large hookah bar, now it works like a smoking room. Several shops with small things, the prices are normal, they are sold sane. The hotel has a limousine service. But the taxi ride is free.
The rest was a success, if not for the heat and record windiness. I want to come back and try everything again) There is hope that soon the hotel will work like a well-coordinated mechanism and will find its own zest
