Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For a relaxing holiday; For families with children
Have not been abroad before. I traveled with my family, two children aged 6 and 10. Nothing to compare it to, but I really liked it. A hotel for a relaxing family holiday. We went with another family (they were previously in Bulgaria and Turkey) - I liked it more here. The staff is friendly, there is a Russian speaker (at the reception - she is a girl). If problems arise, they are solved quickly (be careful with the safe). A lot of Russians have a rest this year.
I liked the food, enough for everyone, varied. If someone writes that it is bad, let him write what he eats at home. As a hostess, I can say that I cannot provide such a variety of houses to my family. There are no queues unless you go straight to the opening of the restaurant. There are some features: vegetables are cut coarsely and meat is somewhat overcooked. From fruits - watermelons, melons, apples, oranges (local, very sweet), sometimes peaches and pears, dried fruits. You can bring food and non-alcoholic drinks to your room if needed. Tea bags only for breakfast. So, tea lovers, stock up. There are a few bags in the room and a bottle of plain water in the fridge. You can then pour other drinks into it. But if you leave it empty, they'll throw it away. If you go on a tour, you can order a lunch package. We did not like it: something like a hot dog, a cupcake, an apple and an orange. Only a bottle of water pleased. Hot dogs went to the peacocks for dinner. We talked with peacocks with pleasure, there are also turtles in that forest.
There were ants in the room - we got along with them, one even flew with us to St. Petersburg. Friends did not have ants, but there were mosquitoes (CAPTURE THE FUMIGATOR) - they apparently do not get along with each other. Therefore, who is "lucky" with what. I admit that there are rooms without these "pleasures". The room was cleaned well. We left tips twice, but they didn’t spoil them especially (friends did the same) - but they changed their linen every day, but they didn’t change us even once, while the beds were diligently made. Towels are changed by hanging them on the edge of the bath - this is also recommended by the instructions in the bathroom.

Our tour operator Southern Cross, they were also satisfied. Katerina was on duty almost around the clock at the reception, advised on all issues.
We rented a car through it, it turned out to be cheaper even than in other places. Previously, we specially went to Kos on bicycles and asked the price at the box office. Walk around the island took place. Not bad, but it’s really difficult to surprise Petersburgers with something, if only with exotic nature (beautiful sunset from Ziya, palm trees, mountains). The ruins are everywhere similar to each other. Olive oil and a beach towel for 2.99 euros would be better to buy in one of the supermarkets behind the beaches of Lambi (like our Pyaterochka) in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ Kos, cream based on olive oil and other small souvenirs - in the village of Zia (if you take several, you can bargain or get an additional gift) or in the same supermarkets (cream about 5-8 euros), there are two more inexpensive Chinese stores in the city (if someone suddenly misses shopping) - otherwise everything is very expensive. For example, lollipop costs 20 rubles for our money.
We went on an excursion to Rhodes - two hours there and... four and a half back. If you decide - do not take children - you will get sick and very tired. The tour is not joyful (a lot of dry facts), basically everything must be imagined... ruins, a little more fun than Kos. It is better to spend this time swimming. Well, if you decide, be sure to go to the left of the port of Mandraki (if you look at it) to the sea (the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea merge there) and further along the coast. There is the most beautiful Aegean Sea, a restless wave - but maybe we are so lucky? Super derzhitsya have turned out - elements and the person. I didn't even get carried away by the wave.
They took a break from the children - they were engaged in themselves. They did not use animation (only a little dancing) - they had enough pools, slides, a playground, ice cream, soda. For those who wish - a girl Sofia from Hungary leads animation for children in Russian. It can be seen that the Greeks were preparing to receive the Russians. Friendly.

There was an impression of safety.
They were satisfied with the vacation - they brought a lot of impressions. Criticism for order, maybe it will help someone adjust their plans and desires.
