Hotel ratings by criteria:
I rested with my boyfriend for 2 weeks at the Melia Palm Azur hotel in August 2008. The choice fell on this hotel, as we were familiar with the Spanish chain Sol Melia, which owns it. Usually hotels of this network are of good quality in all respects. However, once in Melia Palm Azur, it became completely incomprehensible to us how this hotel could be part of a fairly decent hotel chain.
The hotel itself - reception:
The hotel is not new, but it looks quite okay. The reception is large, a lot of marble, a large seating area.
Territory:
Large enough, but poorly maintained (I don’t know if this is due to the difficulties of maintaining plants in a hot climate).
Number:
The room is spacious, not new, but in good condition. Cleaning is daily, but not particularly thorough. There is no bottled water in the rooms, but there are water coolers in the corridors. That is, either we save the bottles brought from home, or we run back and forth with plastic cups.
Tourists:
85% French, 10% Italians and 5% Russians - Czechs - Slovaks - Poles.
Nutrition:
Disgusting. The food is monotonous and the cheapest (tomatoes, grated carrots, beets), all in the simplest possible way. No more complicated salads. Meat 2 grades for dinner, bony, inferior quality, like dogs. 2 varieties of pasta and other poorly cooked food. And so every day. For breakfast one sort of cheese and one ham (cheap sausage ground together with bones), 1 grade home-made yogurt in tubs, 1-2 grades of bread. Eternal shortage of bowls-glasses. Glasses are often soapy. Plates are often frankly dirty. Several times I swore with the head of the hall - to no avail.
During your stay, you have the opportunity to visit dinner with local a la carte food once. the restaurant in which this dinner should be held during our vacation was for some reason closed, so all the exotic was held at the plastic tables by the pool. The classic couscous was the most disgusting and poorest I have ever eaten.
Swimming pool:
Nice big main pool and small pool for kids. In the large pool there were problems with the flow of water (the hatch was partially open) and the parents complained to the lifeguards, for which they were advised to "swim around" (! ). As a result, a 14-year-old girl was sucked into this hole with us, the rescuers did not find the drain switch and they did not have oxygen tanks, but they did have fire extinguishers. the girl was taken out after 20 minutes, of course she was dead. I can honestly say that after this it’s hard to think about rest, and I don’t want to go to the pool either. There are a lot of reviews about this case in the French press - since the girl is French.
Beach:
Sandy, plenty of seating. Umbrellas are all rusty on the inside - I hope everyone has a tetanus shot! The entrance to the sea is monstrous. Huge sharp stones for 30 meters and knee-deep water, if you pass, you can enjoy the sand)))) If you have children, then you can simply cross out the sea. For 2 weeks my legs were skinned in all sorts of places - in general, beauty!
Water sports:
Despite the fact that their website indicates the availability of equipment for all kinds of non-motorized sports, in fact, all of it is not usable. The wind surf is broken and the sails have holes. I had to rent from a nearby hotel for 20 Euros per hour. There are 3 kayaks. However, if there is a problem, the Melia Palm Azur does not even have a rescue motor tray. And when a hole was found in one kayak and tourists had to be pulled out, the rescuers from our hotel had to take a boat from a neighboring one. beauty in general
Medun:
A terrible dirty city, where there is not a single pleasant restaurant and generally interesting place.
Output. IN NO EVENT DO NOT REST IN THIS HOTEL, it is not only disgusting, but also life-threatening.
