Rested in July 2012 five of us, parents with three children. Before the rest, the task was to find as many sports entertainments as possible for children and parents, especially tennis and football. I also wanted to spend time comfortably with a small child, provide him with a pleasant atmosphere and quality food.
In general, the rest is ok. Lots of photos here.

The territory of the hotel is large, but there is not much greenery yet. More like Egypt.
There are no large beautiful conifers so characteristic of this area. A hotel was built on desert land. If you are looking for beautiful nature, then you are not here. There is a good landscape design here, everything that can be done in a desert area. Don't raise your hand to criticize.

For two days I studied how to get to the room optimally. The walkways next to the hull and the internal elevator system are not entirely obvious. Sometimes some doors from the street to the building are closed, this is not clear.
Very extensive, beautiful, extensive system of external pools. I have not seen such a large pool in other hotels. But the temperature of the water in them is +29, while the external temperature is +38, relief and refreshment are not felt.
The hotel lobby is immersed in luxury. The hammam and spa area are perfect.
Standard rooms are spacious (we had 2 connection rooms) and comfortable.
The so-called water park (3 slides) is open at strange times. Most of the time it doesn't work.
Tennis 5 or 6 courts, if you want, you can always play. The children took 6 tennis lessons, everyone was satisfied.
There are two football fields. One artificial, not fenced. Strange, but the ball flies into the cacti, so no one plays here. The second field is almost full-sized, grassy.
Beach volleyball - approx. Squash in the hull is a bonus! Table tennis would be better not to put in the wind in front of the bar, but in a building under the air conditioner.
The kids club is a strange opening time. It is just open when the kids have a quiet hour.
The density of vacationers is very low, I have never seen such a place anywhere. There are very few people, which is a bonus. Apparently, this is due to the fact that not many will return here. Although there were people who had a rest here for the third time, and promised to come again. Everywhere and always there are free places. Both on the beach and in restaurants.
The sea was perfectly clean for only 2 days, when in the morning you can see the bottom from the pier. And so in the mornings it’s not bad, but by 10 o’clock some kind of mud-foam and algae begins to float. But if you sail away - normal. The river flows in, and the beach is sandy, so it's understandable.
The sand is coarse mixed with pebbles, for children it is almost an ideal entrance to the sea.
On the pier you can sunbathe on white mattresses.

The toilet seems to be a bit far from the beach in the direction of the building you have to go. It’s not too lazy to walk far, it’s even useful, but I would build myself closer.
The food is modest, but there are no complaints. You can always find something tasty. Fruit is flawless. Chilean cherries are cool, watermelons too. For baby food, there were not always vegetables and boiled, baked potatoes, and mashed potatoes were seen only a couple of times. The child needs to collect boiled vegetables - and into a blender. But sometimes there is no choice, sometimes only with spices. For adults, I note a weak selection of grilled dishes. Quality seafood and good level fish are almost non-existent. But no one died of hunger, everything is ok.
I don't think the so-called orange juice for breakfast was real. It's from a bag. There are never napkins on the tables. It is not joke. You can ask for them, but they are not available by default. Tablecloths only for dinner.
The range of drinks in the bars is extremely poor. You can't just drink chemical non-alcoholic cocktails, it's poison. Alcohol is also not a choice. It is better not to drink what they mix, you will be healthier. Coffee is ordinary - no matter what, and coffee drinks are terrible, powder is added instead of milk, if not said in advance. Service in bars... It would be better if the bars were just paid. Then you could wait for the waiter if you sat down at the table.
A tractor drives around the hotel in the evenings, spraying chemicals from mosquitoes and other insects. Releases a chemical cloud around itself. Of course - the river, if not sprayed - mosquitoes and midges will eat.
The parked tractor looks like this:

In the wings of the building on the 1st floor in the corridors there is a strong smell of chemistry. Things in the suitcases smelled of this chemistry. This was realized after returning home.
But in general, we had a good rest, I will not complain. But there is no point in returning to this hotel, it will not pull.
