Hello! 2 days ago we returned from Justiniano, I rested, my husband and son 1 year 10 months. I share my experience as requested:
Territory: Very beautiful - green, everything blooms and smells, very clean. There is a place to take pictures)) The staff is friendly, especially to tourists with small children. Our son was almost the star of the hotel, everyone tried to stroke him, kiss him, treat him with something, the gardener constantly gave flowers to him, not to me ...
Cats are walking around the territory, maybe 6, but they are already scared, because the kids "got" them. True, I once saw how a cat dragged a piece of sausage from the table, but it was early in the morning, there were almost no people, and the owner of the plate imprudently left it on the table and went for coffee)) We also saw a turtle, a shell 20 centimeters in diameter, and they say that a hedgehog is running around, also healthy, but it can be seen at night.

To the left of the beach is a bay with a beautiful pine forest.
Be sure to go there for a walk and take pictures and swim - very beautiful! !

Rooms: we arrived at the hotel at about 18:00, settled immediately. We were settled in a 4-storey bungalow immediately to the left of the reception, number 255. When they led us to the room, we were shocked - there was a road nearby, a security checkpoint, construction was underway, workers were running around! ! ! I went to the reception with a request to change the room a little lower, away from the road, because I was afraid that the noise would interfere with the child's sleep. They said that there are no free rooms, they will appear in 3 days, and they put us in the queue for relocation. The next day, after talking with other visitors, we realized that we were lucky with the room, since everything in the room is new, a cap was made. repair, snow-white linen and towels, everything worked properly, water pressure Pts. good, although these bungalows are at the highest level. In the lower bungalows, especially on the first floors, it was damp (the hotel opened just a few days before our arrival), cold, which made it uncomfortable.
Everyone was advised to turn on the air conditioner for heating so that there was no dampness, but we didn’t have it (3rd floor), and we slept without blankets, although some asked for blankets. Having lived the first day, my husband said that he would not move anywhere from here, and many of our neighbors decided the same.

Nowhere on the site does it say that the hotel has expanded a lot: they built a new 8-storey building, and in 3-storey houses along the road (where we lived), the 4th floors were completed and all rooms were renovated. We were surprised to see how quickly the construction was going on: after a couple of days we settled in the neighboring two four-story buildings, and on the 5th day they began to inhabit the new building (from the upper floors). When we left, a new pool and bar was about to open.


Do not be afraid to settle in these 4-storey buildings and in the main 8-storey building. Everything is new, especially in the new building, there is a laminate on the floor, a plasma TV, wardrobes and more and more modern, all rooms with sea views. To the sea - 5 min.
slowly with the child, if fast - 2 minutes.

If you need a baby cot - immediately tell the reception, they will bring it to the room for free. Folding iron bed with sides + mattress. Pillow, sheet and bedspread - as for adults. I took his son a pillow, a thin blanket, oilcloth and diapers, so it was more convenient for him. And ALWAYS take a favorite soft toy that your baby sleeps with. My son slept great after a whole day outdoors.
The room has a safe, you need to leave a deposit of $ 10 for it, as well as for beach towels. You can bring your own towels if you are not too lazy to drag them, but you can’t take white towels from the rooms to the beach - a fine.
By the way, in some rooms, instead of a shower cabin, there is just a shower and a curtain, but believe me - this is not at all important on vacation, the main thing is that everything is clean and has excellent pressure.
Meals: in the first days, while the hotel was 30-50% full, there was enough meat (beef, veal, turkey) + salads, chicken, vegetables, greens, pizza, pasta, eggs in various variations, potatoes in several versions ...A few days later, when the hotel was almost 90% full, there was not enough meat, there were queues for lunch and dinner, but everything else was enough. . I don’t make a cult out of food, so I’ve never been hungry, but of course the crowd is annoying ...I won’t write about the sweet table - EVERYTHING IS VERY TASTY, not very sweet, just in moderation.
Our baby is already omnivorous, but just in case, I took an instant porridge, 3 packs of miracle curd, a bottle of water for the night and a drinking cup. I bred porridge for breakfast in 10 days only 3 times (for a change). In the morning he ate either mashed potatoes, or scrambled eggs (fried eggs), or pasta. There were milk soups, but they are sweetish. At lunch they always ate the soup that was given. I liked chicken the most.

Of the fruits every day there were apples and oranges, a couple of times they brought a local fruit (I don’t remember the name) - it looks like either an apricot or a small pear, the taste is also unusual. . Bananas and strawberries were only in cakes ((Approximately a day later, in the evenings, ice cream of 3-4 varieties was given free of charge (vanilla, pistachio, chocolate, strawberry), very tasty! ! ! Freshly squeezed juices in the mornings were paid, but you could take unlimited quantities oranges and apples, and crush themselves (which some have done quite successfully).
A la carte restaurants are open from May 15 to October 15, but due to the large number of people, the Ottoman restaurant (on the 2nd floor above the main restaurant) opened on May 10, and the fish restaurant was supposed to open on the beach as scheduled.
Locally produced drinks are of course bullshit, especially beer, it's nothing, probably 1 degree in total. The wine is also sour, similar to semi-dry, but you can drink it with a cake.
Beach: small pebbles, a meter from the sea - a strip of pebbles, near the sun loungers (if you dig deeper) - sand, the child liked it. The sea was surprisingly warm, I didn’t want to go out of it, the main thing is to go in right away - do not wet your feet, because at first it seems cool. The beach was very clean upon arrival, but with the influx of Russians (and there are 95% of them in the hotel), cigarette butts, empty bottles and other garbage began to appear, although every 2-3 meters there are special bins for empty dishes and garbage. There were always enough sun loungers, you could also find a place near the pool, unless of course you were a crowd of 5 or more people. We were not afraid for things, we calmly left and went to swim and play with the child on the shore, security walks around the territory, keeping order.

Animation Entertainment was so-so, only in the morning a little by the pool (exercise, water aerobics, dancing), every day the same thing.
On May 9, the animator Alex arrived, and a few more people should have arrived the other day, so now it has probably become more fun.
I didn’t see children’s animation at all, many mothers complained that the animator girls didn’t work with children at all, there was only a children’s disco from 21-00, and then an adult one began. I didn’t worry about this, because our child is small, he was with us everywhere, he behaved very well and there were no problems.
And having met several nice people, we spent the last days simply unforgettably, very fun and cool (especially on May 9).


There is a bazaar (ALARA BASAR) nearby - you leave the hotel, go left along our buildings, turn right at the fork in the road (straight road to other hotels), after 50 meters there will be a shop, by the way, not bad, prices are even lower than in the market, there are juices, fermented milk products, beer, drinks, chips, souvenirs, bags, fruits, vegetables, etc.
We did not buy anything at the market, we just looked and found out the prices. Souvenirs in the hotel shop were even cheaper than in the market, which surprised us very much, since in Egypt the opposite is true. Although it is impossible to say here, since each seller sets his own price for each buyer. . Haggle, do not be afraid to bring down the price, at least 25%, maximum - up to 60%.

The hotel has a Spa (sauna, Turkish bath, several types of massage, swimming pool). we went to the sauna (it's free). A Turkish bath costs $40 (so we were told), they offered to sign up for procedures, but we decided to save money and went to a bathhouse in the city from a tour operator for $25 per person (a child under 7 years old is free), and we did not regret a bit. Loved it, even our baby. We advise everyone to visit the HAMMAM (Turkish bath), especially on the 1-2 day after arrival, to cleanse the skin well for a beautiful tan.
The tour operator offers a wide variety of excursions for any budget, excursions can also be purchased from the local population at a lower price.

Summing up, I want to say: our vacation was a success, for a vacation with a child - exactly what you need! Have a good holiday and good impressions!
