We rested with a family of 5 people (my husband and I, two children 2.5 and 16 years old and my mother) in the high season July - August (14 days). At the end of the tour, we demanded political asylum in this all-inclusive hotel... Island: the weather is mild, the ocean is invigorating, swimming at 7 in the morning, day and night - the feeling is always cool. The town of Costa Adej is a resort, calm, much calmer than mainland Spain. The nearest black sand beach, 15 minutes walk there is a white sand beach. Bamboo sheets and towels were laid on the beach, sunbeds could be rented. There are many cafes, a promenade, playgrounds, rental of bicycles, jet skis, etc. Southern resorts were grown in the desert a little over 20 years ago, all plantings are man-made and are constantly watered. The streets are a little dirty for Europe - this surprised us, there are a lot of bottles lying under the bushes, packages of chips... Hotel: 1. The location is convenient. Sea 15 minutes walk with a stroller, back up the hill. We were pleased with this, and so we gained 5 kilograms, and if you don’t walk yet, then you can gain all 10 kg. There are many small supermarkets nearby and there is a large store (10 minutes walk I recommend huge shrimp 300 rubles per kg), there is a stop near the hotel. 2. The pools in the hotel are too small, we did not swim in them (except for the children), and the Germans were not happy. During the day, the music near the pools is loud, it is difficult to sleep in the room. 3. The food for 3 stars is very worthy, Meat of all kinds, always fish, red, white, rose wine, all sorts of sodas and juices, delicious pastries, etc. . It can only be noted that the menu is quite monotonous, but the choice is large - therefore, it did not bother, although the child did not have enough porridge in the morning, they were fed with different muesli and different yogutras. Vegetarians or fasting can also find their own food. The kitchen in the room was used only once for cooking shrimp. The restaurant itself looks closer to the canteen. 4. Two bars, near the pool with plastic cups and in the hall with glasses: wine, cocktails - everything is unlimited. It works until 23:00, but we took glasses with a margin and sat until 3:00 in the morning. You can sit (lie) on the balcony of the second floor on sun loungers or artificial grass. five. The animation was in Spanish and English, I saw animators rushing about, sometimes with children, sometimes with adults, but we did not use it. The animators guys are groovy, but Turkey is certainly far away. Every evening Mini-disco for children (20-30 minutes) really liked the child and the "cultural program" - as a backdrop for the company is normal. 6. There are few Russians in the hotel (and this is good in my opinion), a lot of Spaniards, Germans and English. My sociable husband gathered a company of Russian-speaking Germans and Englishmen and we spent many nights with dignity talking, swimming in the ocean, etc. The public of the level of a qualified specialist rests in the hotel (our company had a carpenter, bulldozer operator, confectioner... ). So, a stay in a hotel is a vacation without pomp, but in a friendly atmosphere. 7. Two-room rooms, 50 sq. meters (we had two) with balconies. They cleaned with coolness... after my mother's complaint, they began to clean her noticeably better, but we still have a minimum of order. In fairness, it must be said that the hotel was packed and both cleaning ladies and waiters were working with a heavy load. Shopping. As always, on trips to Europe, they shone time on this, because. prices are very different from ours for the better. We went to Santa Cruz (on any bus to the bus station for 1 euro and then on express 110 for 5 euros). Buy tickets in stores or at the bus station will be cheaper by 30%. There are four shopping centers at the bus station, the first (brand) and the third (youth) are the coolest. On Sunday, the big malls were CLOSED The big supermarket has several youth brands and a cool children's shop (children's clothes - 3.5, 7 euros on sale). In different directions from the hotel, several small shopping centers can find summer things for every taste and budget. Be sure to go to the jungle park (three km from the hotel on a free bus or 11 euros in a taxi) and Siam Park. DO NOT go to Aqualand, it's not worth the time. General impressions - I liked everything very much, despite minor flaws. A hotel for a simple stay, you get used to the small features and relax. The food and drink are decent, the Spaniards are friendly and calmly reacted to our communication with them using gestures. The ocean is cool, the climate is mild (day 29, night 24), the heat is not annoying.
