Having previously read the program of events on the city's website, we were once again convinced that we definitely need to return there again! My mother and I love a rich cultural holiday.
But this time we chose the Annabelle hotel, it is located next to Almira. The rooms are slightly smaller, but they are more designer, very bright and cozy. In Almira, nevertheless, a more classic and minimalist style is sustained.
Even comparing these two hotels, Almira, as we noticed, is a "younger" hotel in terms of contingent. There are more families with children, probably due to a good playground and a kids club, and more Russians vacationed there. And in Annabelle there are already more Europeans of elegant age, there is no extra fuss.
A pleasant addition to our tour was that when booking BB, we received HB, this fact could not but rejoice, since the hotel's cuisine is very tasty. Drinks at dinner, as elsewhere, for an additional fee, we recorded everything on the room, on the day of check-out everything was paid at the reception.
The room was cleaned every day, and we have never been able to find the maid in person to thank for the perfect cleanliness of the room. There was also turndown service.
And, of course, I would like to note the service of the hotel, you always feel that you are welcome and that you are a welcome guest.
And for those who choose between these two hotels, do not rack your brains, in any case, you will be 100% satisfied with your rest there and there!
The hotel positions itself as 5 stars. But according to our ten-day observation, this turned out not to be the case.
Unreasonably high prices in the restaurant of this hotel and bar. The service looks like a favor, none of us particularly limited ourselves, but sometimes we had to wait for the waiter for half an hour.
The hotel has two swimming pools with sun loungers. So at 8.30 all these sunbeds were already occupied and after that time we did not have the slightest chance to take it. By the way, the towels that were issued to the sunbeds were poorly washed, with stains, and sometimes just with holes.
Part of the territory smelled of sewerage!!!
Absolutely complete lack of support for Russian tourists - no information in Russian is provided, although vouchers are sold and we met our citizens there.
The coastline was simply no, we went out there on the first day - we were shocked - stupidly arranged sunbeds, again occupied with towels from early morning. By the way, in neighboring hotels the coastlines were more well-groomed - there were sheds, cafes, etc.
Meals - breakfast was ordered, a huge number of people, a buffet, for each dish to take, you had to stand in line, there were not enough tables for all hours at 9.00. In general, there was chaos with pre-paid meals.
As I wrote above, the staff did not please at all, in five stars they usually follow you and fulfill any wishes, because it is five stars, here you had to look for waiters on your own, stand in a bar in line for drinks, just catch waiters, etc. .
There are many more nuances, now you can’t remember everything...
