The previous descriptions of the hotel by tourists are fully consistent. Therefore, in order not to repeat myself, I will simply supplement my observations. We flew from Teztura, the rooms were overlooking the garden. But the room was only for rest and sleep, so we were not upset. The minibar is free. The food is excellent, with the expectation of Italians, a lot of different Italian food. The chef was Italian and often personally cut the specialty cakes and put them on your plate while singing songs loudly. The waiters rustle quickly, so the food and service are top notch. In the evening, face control in the restaurant will not let you in short shorts and a T-shirt. True, you can always go from the side of the balcony. Opposite the pool there was a snack restaurant where you could eat delicious hot pizza, chicken, pasta until 22:00. Drinks, juices, sodas, beer and wine poured themselves out of the faucets at least as much as they could.
The resting contingent was approximately 30% Russian, 30% Italian and 30% French, who were replaced by the Germans after 5 days. All of us behaved culturally. On the beach, a sea of ​ ​ sunbeds, you can always find free ones. On the beach, ours are always the first, by 8 in the morning, then foreigners come up. But this is probably because of the time zones. I have a time difference of + 3 hours to the local one, so at 7th place we are on our feet, and foreigners probably minus an hour, so they will sleep more. I'm talking about the myth of Russians greedy for sunbeds. By the way, it was funny to watch a couple of German pensioners, both in thongs and topless, who changed their thongs for new ones every 20 minutes, right there, near the sunbeds. On the beach, an Englishman is engaged in water attractions, always dissatisfied when you do not understand English well and kindly smiling at foreigners, although it was mostly Russians who took jet skis and boats from him. You can also eat at the beach bar, drinks only non-alcoholic cocktails and beer.
The climb from the beach to the hotel is steep. It's hard at first, then you get used to it. Animation - Well done Italians. The whole day on the beach, in the bar, by the pool is occupied by those who wish, in the evening there are shows. Laid out in full. The penultimate day was the hotel's 20th anniversary. Thought it would be something special. All the tourists gathered at the pool in the evening, take their seats at the bar. Service staff with their wives and children in the center. We are waiting 2 hours. Then the manager arrived, the chef brought out a huge cake, they cut it for the servants, poured them champagne each, under our eyes. Then fireworks. Curtain ...We went to a bar . . Excursions were taken only to the island of Symi, for Christians. Excursions around the island do not advise, everything is expensive. Better to rent a car. Renting 4 days of a Volkswagen Polo came out at 180 euros + 50 euros of gasoline. And any excursion costs from 55 euros to 80 per person, even to Lindos, which is 20 km from us. And you don't have to wait for everyone to be picked up and taken away. Dashed 700km, Were everywhere.

Moreover, they left after breakfast and arrived an hour before the end of lunch. You go wherever you want, you arrive until it's hot and there is no influx of tourists from buses. The signs on the roads are faded and you can skip the turn, so take your time, although everything was already familiar on the 2nd day. I do not advise the water park, there are very few slides, in general, with children, a dozen. Moreover, if a child has bought a child ticket up to 12 years old, they hang a bracelet on their arm and they will only let him in where the baby is. On slides with rafts, rescuers do not look after people - you wait in line to slide down, you ask? Rescuer poking around in the phone waving Wali himself, as you wish. Once I managed to save a child from a collision, when at the end she got stuck in a raft, and her mother flew after her. I pulled the girl out, with my foot I kept the blow from the mother’s flight, and all this with the complete inactivity of the rescuers, who were not there at the end of the descent. Butterfly Valley is interesting at first.
Climbing uphill along the path and around the butterfly, though not very beautiful and the same, and you can see them before entering the turnstile for free. People are rising higher, languishing from fatigue, thinking of seeing new butterflies for their money, but nothing changes around and after walking for half an hour it will be the same around. Prasonisi, of course, you need to go, but after reading the reviews, you are waiting for something magnificent. And then the wind, the waves, people on parachutes on the boards on the waves. Here once again you understand how good it is that you looked at the car, looked like it, and then you drive or go home.
In general, the holiday was a success. By the way, the owner of the hotels Rhodes princesses, Lindos princesses and Adrian princesses is the same and the quality of service is almost the same, and the price of Rhodes princesses is the lowest. Yes, and more, for fans of Metaxa, buy better in Rhodes in stores than in duty free. the price is almost the same, but the taste is very different.
For themselves, they make more delicious and smelly, even 3-year-old, and taking 7-year-old and 5-year-old in Rhodes duty free, I felt the taste of ordinary alcohol, like our "cognac" for 300 rubles. In general, we had a good rest, the hotel is decent.
