I will be brief and to the point.
Pros:
1. Excellent new rooms, large, comfortable, large balcony. Separate shower, toilet and washbasin with hairdryer (this is convenient when three of us are in one room)
2. Very tasty food, everything is cooked with soul. Great selection of food
3. Staff are the people who make our holiday. Very welcoming, friendly staff. Unobtrusive, but at the same time always there and, if necessary, ready to help in all matters.
4. The territory is small, but everything is planned very correctly. And I was not afraid to let a small child go to the slides or to the pool, because everything is in plain sight.

5. The beach is a huge plus. The entry is smooth, and after a distance a large sandy spit begins (somewhere up to the waist for an adult) and it is very convenient to swim with a child there. No stones, sand. There are enough sun loungers for everyone and everyone does not huddle close, but at a distance. The beach is narrow and long, so everyone does not interfere with each other. The recreation area is very cool - there are soft sofas. At lunch, you can not leave the beach, order food from the menu and dine here.
6. Bar (beach and hotel) - we are not particularly drinkers, so I can’t say anything about all alcoholic drinks, but beer, wine are delicious, non-alcoholic cocktails are also, I make milkshakes. I saw that there are martinis and champagne and stronger drinks, but I won’t say anything about the quality, because I haven’t tried it.
7. Water slides - open in the morning and in the afternoon. This time was enough for us to ride and did not have to stand in lines, because the hotel was about 30% full. All 5 slides work.
8. Animation, evening shows - animation is easy (but I don’t like it when they actively impose it), but everyone can find something interesting for themselves - dancing, aerobics, darts, beach volleyball. Every evening there were interesting shows - acrobats, dancers, i. e. some groups came with beautiful costumes, performances.
9. Ice cream (this is a big weakness of my child, so I singled it out as a separate item) - after lunch at the bar and in the evening at the restaurant there was very tasty ice cream.
10. Location - easy access to the city (once we went to the local market, and once to shopping in the shopping center), not far from the beach of the hotel there is an ancient city (it's very cool to walk in the evening and back just go to the hotel).
11. Fish restaurant - a la carte. On the second day of arrival, we booked in a restaurant in advance. We had very good impressions, we talked about the menu in advance, we made an order, and when we arrived at the restaurant, delicious dishes and excellent service were waiting for us.
Cons (it’s hard to call it cons, but this is something that I would like to improve. But I will say right away that this did not affect our vacation in any way)

1. Settlement - the hotel was 30% full, i. e. half empty, but we were settled on the 6th floor and it is under the roof, respectively, when we entered the room, there was nothing to breathe, really you can’t immediately settle in a normal room, and not arrange these “dances”.
2. Bus to the beach (I will say right away that we did not feel any discomfort in this regard, because we were ready for this). The first bus leaves at 8:30 am and the last one at 6:30 pm. those who like to swim in the sea early or stay longer on the beach, then a walk in the "desert" awaits you. The bus runs frequently, no problems.
3. It is unlikely that anyone will need it, but what if . . : ) Our friends came to us for a few days, and they settled with great difficulty, because it is impossible to settle in a hotel without a ticket (everything is assigned to travel agencies), even though that the hotel is empty. We had to call the local travel agency, book a room through them, and it all took about an hour. I didn't really understand the logic, but that's how it is in this hotel
4. Children's animation - it is not there, because of the picture everything is closed, there is only a playground, water slides and that's it. Those. you must understand that you will entertain the children yourself.
5. Cleaning is a really big minus and I want the hotel to pay attention to this. Cleaning is bad, a lot of dust remains, no one replenished shampoos, gels. True, the bar replenished water and drinks, changed towels regularly.
My impression is that I liked the hotel, I liked the people in the hotel and the food and the beach. We arrived in a great mood and spent the whole vacation chic. It all depends on the mood. If you ask me if I will return to this hotel, I will answer WITH PLEASURE ! ! : )
