We stayed at the hotel in August 2018.
I am writing this part first, so that they read it for sure)) The tour was bought in Anex tour. Regarding the flight and transfer, everything is fine. Separately, I want to "thank" the representative of the travel agency in the hotel. When choosing excursions, we turned to him, since the hotel is far from the city and we simply did not want to look for someone left.

Do not believe the words of the guide, he says one thing, but the reality is completely different !!! ! And now, in order: we liked two excursions - a trip to the Land of Legends amusement park and a walk on a yacht.
Since, before the trip, we were interested in possible entertainment, we knew (from online reviews) that there were long queues in the park, and therefore we discarded this option. But the guide (Hovhannes "helped" us) said that several days a week, in the park

only clients of the Anex tour company go for entertainment, and therefore, there are no queues, well, a maximum of 15 people. We asked again, clarified and decided to say goodbye to $80 each for such a great offer.
And what did we see upon arrival? And we saw that there were queues of 100 or more people on the slides of the water park, that everyone had a rest there, there were buses of various travel agencies (you remember what the guide told us about the contract, etc. ), the rides were still closed, that there was a fast track service, about which we were not warned at the hotel, but already upon arrival at the park (surcharge of $ 30 and bypassing the queue). We have already paid 4000 UAH per person and were ready to pay extra, but since we were told that we need to take money for food and a luggage room, who would have thought that $ 125 for food would not be enough for us. On top of that, the course suddenly changed, and the fast track already cost $32 (although the loudspeaker was broadcasting around the park for $30, which is why we didn’t have enough $3!!!! ). As a result, while we were standing in line for the slide, lucky people with a fast track managed to ride 4, in total, 1 water slide cost us 50 minutes of parking in the heat, in a sweaty line of disgruntled people.
Fortunately, we rode 4 attractions, one of them is really impressive, but it's not worth that amount. Despite all the beauty and grandeur of the park, a trip there cost, in addition to money, one day of vacation and a lot of spent nerves.


Well, the second tour was not without deception on the part of the guide. During the discussion, the number of people on the yacht was clarified several times, as this was decisive for us. In the end, it turned out that there are places only on the largest and most beautiful yacht, that’s why the place costs $ 75 (and not 64 as it was on others), again, I specified the number of vacationers, to which I heard the answer - well, more expensive, because the yacht is cooler , and the number of 8 -12 people. It is clear that it will not be 8, but 12, but this is quite acceptable. On the way, we already learned that we were again bred, and that there would be 16 people, that is, a third more than promised! The question is, why did we pay extra $44.16 people + 2 guides + 4 crew members, count the total for yourself.
We also found out that this is a normal practice, and not only we were consciously incorrectly indicated the number of passengers. Otherwise, the walk turned out great, free drinks (beer, wine, water, etc. ), a delicious dinner at sunset, swimming in the sea, and meeting the sunset, more or less met our expectations.

We went with a company of 4 people (2 couples), so we took a family suite (two bedrooms, each with a shower and toilet + living room kitchen). The room is excellent, clean, beautiful, excellent scenery, there was a nuance with a shower leak, but the towel saved the situation.
They settled us somewhere at 14-30, when asked what the delay was - I quote (read in a pleased tone): "This is not some kind of small hotel for you, the hotel is big !! ! they haven't cleaned the room yet", which in turn, from the very beginning , slightly spoiled the impression. But the rest of the time, the staff was friendly and there were no such situations.
Regarding nutrition, everything is also good: 4-5 meat dishes, several types of side dishes, a bunch of desserts, salads, sauces, fruits. No one had problems with digestion, well, except for heaviness, from gluttony)))
The rating of the hotel is 4+, because we expected more, for such a price. There are almost always puddles in the elevator, but not because they didn’t clean it, but because many vacationers walk around the hotel wet (not wet, but with flowing water). Despite the inscription at the entrance to the restaurant, many walk around in wet clothes (when they put on a wet swimsuit), so you can eat while sitting on a wet seat.

It is very convenient that the hotel has a car rental. The route was planned in advance, we went to the mountains, to look at the green canyon from a height, and having stopped at a restaurant for lunch, we received an offer to ride a boat and swim in the reservoir. I strongly advise you to see these places, the green water conquered me, and the beauty of the views cannot be expressed in words.

In total, to everyone who has read it)), I advise you to prepare for your vacation in advance, believe the reviews and wish you a great vacation.
