I read a lot of reviews about this hotel. I will try to highlight the main thing from my own experience, which may be useful.
A Moorish-style hotel with a touch of French colonialism. Inside the public space is clean and tidy. Antique furniture is placed everywhere (all sorts of cabinets, bureaus, chairs), which is interesting to look at, you can take a photo. There are 2 small courtyards - the first with a fountain and bars, the second with a pool and a small garden (a turtle lives there! ).
Managers and other staff are quite friendly, they try to speak Russian.
The room is clean but not very comfortable. We didn't have a balcony. The room is also - Moorish style, but more modest. I didn’t like it - that one pouf (where to sit? ) And the TV was hung up unsuccessfully (you can hit, which was done). The toilet room is the most ordinary, a little run down, but in general - OK. I liked the window thanks to which it is ventilated : )

Restaurant (dining room): sadness is simple. The interior is beautiful, but the content is not very good. The staff is unprofessional and the menu itself is not so hot. There will be no buffet! There is a table under glass (as in a grocery store) and you can choose 3 dishes from what is. No more! ! The food, in general, is not tasty, reminiscent of fast food or a cheap cafe. Dishes with canned food, terrible sauces for meat and potatoes, lack of fruit (they gave only 2 slices of watermelon or 3 apricots) are especially indignant. In the dining room they save on everything and even tea in a teapot will be from 1 bag, and coffee - grain. I mean breakfast because at dinner you have to pay for drinks.
Separately, I want to note the location of the hotel. The title indicated that it was for travelers. Basically, this conclusion is due to the fact that the hotel is located on the 3rd line. In front of the hotel there is a two-lane road, where there is no crossing, and cars go in a continuous stream. Next - the second smaller. Going is really a problem.
The way to the beach is through the amateur trash can and the construction site. The beach itself is small, there are sun loungers and umbrellas. From 12 noon until night, music is VERY loud on the beach, and locals also relax there, who order food at the beach bar.
By the way, the beaches are municipal, so everyone swims in the sea - both from your beach, and from the neighboring one, and just arrived.
So, my opinion is that the hotel is good for the price and interior for an overnight stay, but not for a long-term beach holiday.
I wish you all a good holiday this summer!
