Very mixed feelings about the hotel. In general, the territory of the hotel is quite well-groomed, everything is regularly watered, cleaned, trimmed. Clean, nice, beautiful. Same with the beach. The beach is good, it is regularly cleaned, next to a more expensive hotel with a water park, and there are whole heaps of algae. On our beach, the guards walk with a rake, remove algae, level the sand. There is a small problem with umbrellas, there are few of them, so many take an umbrella and a sun lounger with the opening of the beach.
A VERY big disadvantage of the beach is that the door to it closes at 7 pm, it's very early. It is completely unclear why this is being done, when it is still light until 8.8-30. Yes, and in the dark, too, you can swim, it's shallow there. The beach opens at 5 am (just before dawn).
There were jellyfish, they are more like algae, very small and inconspicuous. Bites from them, if there is no allergic reaction, pass quickly. But I've seen people with swollen bites and rashes.

The rooms are simple, old, but basically tolerable. We had a balcony with a side view of the sea, and the dance floor, so music played until 12 at night. The main drawback of the room is the carpet on the floor, which inspires certain hygienic doubts, and they simply clean it with a brush (not even with a vacuum cleaner).
The service is normal, cleaned every day, towels were also changed every day (but there were few large towels, 1-2 for 3 people). There are no beach towels. There is no hair dryer. Shampoos and gels too. Two Russian women Irina and Marina work at the reception, who help to resolve issues with the staff, and simply answer questions of interest to tourists. Special thanks to them!
The hotel is mostly Russian, some Europeans and Algerians. The latter are a little annoying, as they constantly yell and behave very untidy (tables in the dining room after them defy description, they dump all the leftovers on the tablecloth).
The biggest drawback of the hotel is the dining room. Here is a complete nightmare. Spoons, mugs often have to win back and guard. To snatch a paper napkin for everyone is generally a holiday. And about small spoons, they probably don’t even know....

Sweets are always on the principle of "who managed, he ate", did not have time, your problems. From the sweet - the same type of cakes, there were no dates, no local sweets. The food is the same, almost nothing changes. It seems to be a lot in terms of quantity, but if you discard some of the dishes that are not very tasty, and some are not fresh (especially vegetables), then there is nothing to choose from. I probably won’t eat chicken for another half a year, I’m so tired. In principle, meat, chicken are cooked deliciously, but for 14 days goulash and chicken (in other versions they were not cooked), they are somewhat annoying. Each dish must be smelled, otherwise you will eat rotten. Vegetable salads, even if they do not stink, are somehow tasteless. I can live on cucumbers and tomatoes for weeks, but I didn’t really want to eat them here, here are some tasteless ones. I took carrots with garlic olive oil, until I ate rotten ones, the desire disappeared immediately. There was no smell of meat, but who knows, maybe it's because of the spices. One fine day I found a caterpillar in the salad (see photo), on the other they saw a huge cockroach on the tablecloth.
Alcohol: we liked beer and white wine, red is a little worse, pink is generally inedible. Cocktails with booze are okay, but they turn out very sweet.
Tea is basically inedible, coffee is more or less.
They gave fruits of 1-2 types for a meal, I liked grapes, watermelon, sometimes there were delicious peaches (sometimes unripe). Melon is most often tasteless, or even rotten. Plums more or less.
Catering and catering are not at the level of 3 stars (we were in 3 stars in Vietnam, Thailand, even Egypt), we have not seen such a mess.
I can’t say anything about animation, we somehow didn’t get to it (we didn’t strive), for sure there is a children’s disco every day, there are programs in the evenings (such as a fakir show, belly dance or Mr. Hotel). Something seems to be held during the day, but we were either at sea, or on excursions, or rested from the heat.
In general, the biggest minus is the dining room. Everything else is good. But eating like this for 14 days is difficult, especially since taking an "all inclusive" usually does not count on money for meals outside the hotel.
