Minus of the hotel: the rooms in this hotel do not look like they have been updated for a long time, the main restaurant is dirty and there are flies (they sit on open food). There are a lot of Russians, and there are enough staff who speak Russian. Children's discos and simple music include Russian. I don't want to go to this hotel a second time.
Of the benefits - the work of staff in bars and restaurants, water park, chic territory and beautiful views of the mountains. This is where the positive ends.
Expectations were much more encouraging, especially after viewing the reports of paid bloggers.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL IN ORDER TO NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AND DO NOT REGRET THE MONEY AND TIME SPENT
2. The rooms are good, fairly new. Just a bad drain in the shower. It is also inconvenient to change clothes, since the toilet is separate (but there are no hooks), in the shower - the water after the shower is standing, you can’t change clothes. In the room - nowhere to hide from the children : -)
3. Water parks - super, separately for children and separately for teenagers and adults. Rescuers are on site, regulating the flow. The water is excellent, cheesecakes for descending on the slides are always available, there are no queues.
4. The pools are excellent, the water is slightly salty, there is no smell of bleach, there is no adhering dirt on the sides, there are a lot of pools and people disperse.
5. Housekeeping - approx.
6. Mini-bar - rarely used.
7. Bars, alcohol - enough and a lot.
8. A big disadvantage of the hotel is the food in the main restaurant. It’s just trash - sheep necks, kidneys (it’s not clear who) - I’ve never seen anything like this in simple cafes at home, and in principle they buy this for cats... French fries - homemade (Fish - like pangasius fillet fried in fat, grilled fish and kebab - tasteless. Meat - rolled beef (kebab, some cutlets), chicken - paper, turkey - tolerable. Seafood - was once in the form of mussels and squid. There is very little choice of food for a 5 star hotel. Pastries are tasteless. Fruits a lot, this is what pleased, only it was necessary to beg for distribution.
9. A separate fat minus - FLIES in the main restaurant... it's just a kapets... on salads, on tomatoes, cucumbers, in the main hall - flies are the masters of life! Once the crayfish were cooked - so they occupied. It was disgusting to watch.
10. Animation - minimal.
11. For the price - too high for such food.
Number. The room has a large double bed and a full single bed for a child. The room is very good, good quality furniture. There are Ukrainian TV channels. The balcony offers a beautiful view. The room has antiseptics and masks.
Food. During the pandemic, the concept of food distribution changed. Everything is behind glass and the staff throws what you choose.
For example, I really liked it, because tourists take only what they can eat.
A very large range of soups, different each time. There will be antiseptics on the tables. Cutlery in paper bags. The staff brings their own drinks. A very large selection of seafood - fish every day sea bass, dorado, trout, mussels in batter, squid, grilled salmon. Fruits are just super-strawberries, watermelons, melons, cherries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, bananas, plums, etc. Very high quality milk - yogurt, kefir, raw. Dietary, vegetarian and regular food. Large selection of side dishes, chickpeas, rice, homemade noodles, stewed vegetables of various kinds, milk porridge, breakfast cereals. You can also eat near the water park - soup of the day, fish and chicken nuggets, burgers, there is packaged ice cream. There is a cafe with ice cream - ice cream is very tasty. 2 bars worked. Turkish pancakes with fillings are also produced free of charge on site.
Swimming pools.
There is a large pool at the water park, pools at the buildings, a large central pool. The water in the pools is salty.
Beach. There were enough sunbeds.
The beach is clean. The sea is also clean. Sunset in the sea pebbles and sand in two meters there are stones, but they do not hesitate to swim.
Personnel. Everyone in shields or masks, in gloves and I really liked it. I want it to always be so. The especially friendly staff at the beach bar always smiles. The staff speaks Russian and English.
Entertainment. The water park is great, the slides have met the needs of all. The son could not be carried away. Live music is played in the water park.
Animation. There is animation by the pool, we did not go to it, there is darts, archery. Evening animation is also available. What I didn't like was Live Musik, a very old repertoire performed by old songs of the 90's and even 80's. Personally, I do not like such Soviet music. The impression is that the performers do not know modern hits.
There is an electric bicycle rental for children, and children ride them all evening.
But the best thing is nature. Mountains, coniferous air, sea.
All our fears about the dangers of traveling during a pandemic have dissipated. There are a lot of vacationers with small children, because it is very comfortable for children here.
Whether we will come to Sherwood again is so clear.
Upon arrival, we were politely greeted and settled. We took two rooms... clean comfortable rooms. We rested for 12 days, a large selection of dishes... a huge selection of fruits for breakfast, lunch and dinner . . , in addition to the main restaurant, there were minibars by the sea and where the water park was... I liked the cafe / bar with Turkish coffee, chilled pinocalada for children and adults. There are shops on the territory, there is a kids club and evening animations for both children and adults. Comfortable beach with sun loungers. . . True, there was not a very pleasant moment a couple of times the dirty sea - it is possible to throw garbage from the yachts.... ? But apparently the management was informed about this and workers with nets immediately went to sea and solved this problem. All in all it was a perfect holiday and we didn't want to leave. . .
The food, as always, is on top, there is everything and fruits and milk, meat and vegetables!
I didn’t like the service at the bars, in particular for coffee, often it just reminds me of McDonald’s, where you have to manage to serve 200 people in 1 minute)) , of course, to the detriment of quality.
for example, a cup of coffee has to wait up to 20 minutes. Such a service is not good, I will not call this service at its best!
as a whole, we decided to consider other hotel options, although last year we thought that we had finally found our ideal hotel.
it's a pity it's so bad
1 Iron - it is at the reception for a deposit of $ 50, but it is not. I went for an iron for two days, they promised to call and tell me when it will appear, but alas... so take the iron with you.
2. The beach, or rather the entry into the sea, is very large pebbles, even in some places large cobblestones. If you have any questions, then ask - I will answer.
