The territory is much smaller compared to Alva Donna in Belek, but this is a huge plus for families with children, they are constantly in sight, and you don’t have to look for them if something happens. The territory is organized quite comfortably, there is enough space near the pools, on the beach, and in the shade of trees on the lawn.
The beach is also small, there is a pontoon for diving, the shore to the right of it with boulders, it is interesting to swim between them with a mask and watch the fish and crabs, to the left of the pontoon there is a sandy shore, many kids build castles and make Easter cakes there. Today, by the way, there was an unpleasant situation on the beach. A dog of the Jack Russell Terrier breed, who lives at the water entertainment rental, which is located directly on the hotel's beach, pooped right into the sandbags that the children made on the shore near the water. Its owner from the water entertainment rental simply took it and threw sand on this pile, lifted the dog under his armpit and carried it under the rental shed, despite the fact that the mothers standing next to him told him to clean up after the dog . . How now to swim in the sea and play in the sand on the shore, knowing that there dogs go to the toilet? After my appeal to the bartender at the beach bar, the owner of the rental dog came with a bucket and a shovel, collected a bunch of dogs with a former sand cake in a bucket and took it away with a very displeased look and muttering under his breath. Well, the question remains open. The bartender is smart, reacted quickly and with understanding. But I would like to know the reaction of the administration, how does it look at the fact that the beach is also a toilet for animals?
Full-size beach towels, always available, never had to wait in line.
The instructor of water slides treats his work very professionally, keeps order and discipline gently and correctly, is attentive with children.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and not cramped. The beds are wide. Linens are clean and towels are changed every day. There are no complaints about the cleanliness of the rooms. The maid is a very nice woman, she tried to clean the rooms when everyone was on the beach. I didn't bother at night. The bathroom has shower accessories, a comb, a nail file, a hair cap. There is no body cream, you need to bring your own.
Lilia is also attentive - a specialist in working with guests, always with a smile, polite, prudent. I accidentally handed in a T-shirt with a beach towel, she suggested how to find the lost one. They returned the T-shirt to me clean, packed in a bag and with a release form, that is, your things will not be lost anywhere.
The kitchen is at the maximum form of the average level, fish, seafood, fruits (except exotic ones) delighted every day. There is a diet menu and a menu for children, which is also important. The smiling staff in the kitchen are nice and friendly, despite the heat and the large number of vacationers, thanks to them for this. After a wonderful holiday, your choice is either by the sea, which is a 3-minute walk, or by the pools, of which 2 + more for small children separately. We didn't get bored there by the pool, several bars and excellent staff working there always offered quality drinks for every taste. And by the pool, wonderful animators, young and provocative guys who did not intrusively, tolerantly and very politely offered to take an active part in entertainment, but if you suddenly refuse, then no one will insist, they will always hear client's wishes. Hello to you))))
For children, everything is also comfortable, and if you warn that with a child, they will give you a room so that the show programs (chic, every day) and disco and live vocals (a DJ also came to us once, it was very cool) will not interfere with you. Room cleaning is of high quality, it’s not scary to leave your things, even on the beach they won’t take anything from someone else. In a word, I still return, that's for sure) Once again, thank you to everyone who created a comfortable stay for us day and night, from the bottom of my heart.
The maid is smart. I forgot to really update our cosmetics in the bathroom, but cleaned perfectly and changed bedding / towels without reminders. The bar is replenished every day without reminders.
Lifeguard at the pool: I just have no words! He's a big smart guy! Always met with a smile, always positive, always ready to help.
In general, with regard to the territory / cleaning / restaurant, a lot has been written and written in detail and accurately and to me.
(About the stones in the sea and shitting dogs is also true : ))
I will not repeat myself, because my review of the work of the children's club.
I'm just outraged by the work of the children's club!
I would like to touch on this point separately, because. For families with children, this is an important issue.
I read a lot of laudatory reviews to Nome, I just can’t imagine who wrote them to her? Perhaps for children from 8-10 years old (more or less independent schoolchildren), she is also a normal animator, but after a couple of cases I didn’t leave my baby (who at that time was 5) in the club myself)
Case 1: they took the child to the kids club in the afternoon, a Russian-speaking girl was sitting there (sorry, I didn’t remember the name, because I saw her only a couple of times, then you will understand why), we said that we would leave, we would sit in a bar near the upper pool and take her away. (and "no, we don't drink alcohol", we just wanted to drink coffee with her husband in silence).
After 15-20 minutes, a woman who was walking from the beach said: is it not your child crying there near the children's club?
"We have a calm, friendly girl, why would she cry, " we thought, but ran to the club. And what do you think? The animator girl took her daughter out, closed the doors and left somewhere... It's so simple... Whether she needed something urgently, or in the afternoon they close the club at a certain time, I don’t remember, but the fact remains. . . It's so easy to take the child out, leave one and dump....Is this normal?? ? In general, we didn’t want to spoil the nerves of ourselves or people, we talked with the girl, heard her arguments and decided not to go in cycles
Case 2 (after which I no longer left my daughter with these wonderful "animators"): some activities were planned in the pool that day, we first sat watching the children play in the water and by the water - everything seems to be normal, the pool is shallow , we approached and warned Noma that we would leave for 10 minutes to plunge into the sea and come back, then we repeated the same thing to her Russian-speaking assistant, then we repeated to the child that we would leave for 5 minutes and be back soon. In the days warned everyone!
Upon returning, they found a crying, frightened child on a sunbed by the pool. There is no one nearby. After questioning, it turned out that when playing the relay, an older girl pushed her daughter into the pool, because. it was unexpected, then the child got scared, took a sip of water, burst into tears, but thank God he remembered that dad and mom promised to return and sat waiting for us by the pool.
When we returned, there was not a single animator at the pool, they left with the rest of the children to be more active...
Of course, I understand that my child is my responsibility, but I didn’t count on this at all, leaving the child to the animator !! ! What if she took a sip of water and drowned? What if she went to sea on her own? And if she hit when she was pushed and drowned?? ? As I understand it, Noma didn’t even notice that one child was missing !!!!
In the end, she could just warn that she only plays with the children, but does not follow them (although I don’t understand how this fits into the concept of a kids club, but X with him, as they say, SAY! )
And apotheosis! When we were leaving, Noma came up to us and literally began to beg (! ) to leave her a review on the Internet: this is very, very important, please, etc. etc. That's when I realized why in every third review there are praises of Nome. We have good people who try not to aggravate, not to scandal, I myself am like that, I really don’t like scandals, showdowns, showdown (I “ripe” to write a review a few months after the rest and only to warn other families...
Whether you listen to it or not is up to you.
P. S. And I’m not writing about dirty (DISPOSABLE! ) chef’s caps (hello, pediculosis), dirt (I understand what children do, of course, but you can either ask them to break - as most do - or wash the floors in the building at least once a day), etc. etc.
DIXI

We arrived at 9.30 pm, meeting at the reception with champagne, settling in the room in 5 minutes, the room is excellent, the room is cleaned every day, the staff is very friendly and no one asks or imposes anything - very decent service. Food is ultra all inclusive. Trout on fire - every day in the Anatolia restaurant; - in general, this hotel apparently has a high-class professional chef, every day food is presented for every taste, from children's, dietary to special gourmets. Dairy products are fresh every day, freshly squeezed juices, fruits in early May - whatever your heart desires. Of course, if women watch their figure, you need to be very vigilant, in 7 days we brought a couple of extra kilos (this is not a joke), but not sad... and so on: goat milk ice cream is simply gorgeous and healthy. The rest itself: in the pool heated water, sand in the sea, sunbeds under umbrellas the beach is cleaned every day, everything is very clean everywhere, there is a path around the beach, which has palm trees and green grass on which there are also sun loungers with umbrellas, hammocks, refrigerators with drinks on the way from the hotel to sea. From the very morning, animators work with children and adults both in the pool and on the territory of the hotel and the beach. Vasya is beautiful, well done! ro country, customs, etc. thanks a lot too. Spa treatments on site: hammam, jacuzzi... Every evening a professional violinist plays in the restaurant, in the concert amphitheater in our check-in we visited 3 concerts and discos - we liked it very much. May and mother's day brought fresh flowers. Considering that the weather was cool, I conclude that the rest was a success. Thanks to the owner of the hotel and all the staff. I advise you to stay in this hotel.
