За эти деньги - отличный отель. В Украине так не отдохнешь For the money this is a great hotel. You can't rest like that in Ukraine

I'll start with the main one. Price:
For three people (two adults and an 8-year-old child) - 9 nights for $ 1000 - makes you close your eyes to all the disadvantages of this hotel and the rest becomes very pleasant. Didn't want to leave. We met guys from Zaporozhye, so they paid $700 for three of them in 9 days. I agree with those who say that this is not 5 stars. But those who spit on Laphetos, let them roll into Berdyansk, Kirillovka or near Odessa. Where rooms in hotels and boarding houses with AC and TV are considered junior suites and they ask for 50 bucks just for a room. Travel from Kyiv to Odessa in a compartment or express at least 1500 for three. There is also a minibus to Zatoka or Koblevo. Round-trip -$150 minimum comes out. I am already silent about the prices of hotels with 4-5 stars, with meals, with a swimming pool, with their own beach and umbrellas with sun loungers. God forbid, invest $1500 in 7 days. One could cite Egypt as an example, but it's hotter, more expensive, you can only dream of bottled water, and after my poisoning and a bunch of other friends, I won't compare.
Laphetos wanted to put 6 stars, but the sea is unrealistically turquoise like in the bays of Mallorca and the temperature is 30 degrees I put 7))

My review (for lovers of daily bed replacement - do not read !!! )):
1) We arrived at the hotel at 10 am - changed in the SPA locker room and went to swim in the sea. Check-in at 14:00. at 12 we were offered to bring our suitcases and things to an uncleaned room (without money), and go to dinner, and they promised to do the cleaning by 14:00. The cleaning was done at 15:00. Very well cleaned, vacuumed, wiped the dust, polished the mirrors, removed the bed and other people's towels. They put 3 gels and 3 shampoos. There was water in the fridge and soda-mineral waters, first they gave 2 bottles, and then the cleaning lady brought 6 more in a glass. just. On the following days, when they cleaned up, they asked whether to give soda, if necessary, they gave 2-3 pieces without any problems. In bottles of water it is unmeasured. The restaurant took as much as they wanted. In bars, they were given in sealed cups, like we sell yogurt and jams in stores. And in Egypt, in the four with some foreigners, the water was exclusively in coolers and it’s not clear where it was taken from.
2) Nutrition. I agree with those who say that there is no diversity. But damn it, when you daily!! ! eat beef, chicken, fish (probably river) mushrooms, grapes, watermelons, melons, vegetables, potatoes (mashed potatoes, fries, country style), desserts, ice cream, pancakes for breakfast, eggs, all kinds of cereals, rice, baked vegetables - what else need variety? The people, red fish, a leg of lamb for everyone and freshly squeezed juices are given in Rixos for 800 dollars a day. They just feed here. Not rich. But normal - an adequate person with a head. I gained half a kilo a day. Despite the fact that he did not eat flour and sweets. Chopped salads were really sour a few times, but there was something to choose fresh and not chopped. I have come across a similar one in other hotels, 2 times more expensive.
3) Contingent. Perhaps the weakest side of the hotel. Ukrainians, rasseyane, Turks. Feels like everyone is equal. And the most unpleasant thing is that fellow Ukrainians behaved worst of all. One drunk got into a fight with the staff. One went over and slept on the couch opposite the shared elevators. Two of our young ladies removed our towels from the sun loungers by the pool while we were swimming and settled down - to my indignation the answer is - well, you were not here when we arrived. and the most terrible case, a 45-year-old from Odessa, after liters of free beer, he drove down a hill, got stuck, then got to his feet and decided to jump straight from the hill with a pike into the pool, but did not fly and broke his neck on the same hill. They called an ambulance, which arrived in 10 minutes, but since the dude was lying paralyzed - he could only drive with his eyes to the sides, the doctors decided to call in from the other side - closer to the highway. And the wife of the victim at that moment ran to the reception and attacked the administrator with swear words. She screamed, cursed, threatened to call the police, instead of being with her husband and helping the doctors. I know that he had 5 hours of surgery the next day. Further fate is unknown. I wish him to survive and not become disabled. The contingent was the main factor in the crush at the restaurant (the queue lined up 20 minutes before opening). Garbage on the beach and around the hotel was also not scattered by the staff. Well, some food was not enough because of them. Because after 20 minutes of standing in front of a closed restaurant, they urgently needed to put not 3 peaches on a plate, but 8 - well, were they standing in vain or what ? ? As a result, those who came 20-30 minutes later could not try the peaches. Because the next batch was taken out when they had already eaten another. Ice cream every day, near the beach, a grandmother made cakes with filling from 10 in the morning, I didn’t drink alcohol, hamburgers, a couple of times they made lamb kebab on the street, kebabs from something (didn’t want to stand in line). Drinks as everywhere - Pepsi, beer, juice drinks, tea, coffee, milk in the morning, etc.

4) Beach, sea and pool. There are 4 pools: a large one - a main one, a small one for children, a pool for descending from the slides (they worked 5-7 hours a day) and inside - but it has not yet opened after the quarantine. Walk 3-4 minutes from the hotel to the sea. About 300 m. First through the hotel, then through the tunnel, and along the beach itself. The beach is so-so, not instagrammable - wide, but mixed with sand and pebbles. Sunset through pebbles - not comfortable, but not fatal, there was no desire to run after corals. sun loungers with an awning far from the sea. But near the edge of the sea - a bunch of sun loungers in the open air. If you come to the beach at 9-10 in the morning, the chances of finding a sunbed are high. But it's better before 9 am. The sea is gorgeous. Blue-azure and very warm. In the first 3 days there were very strong waves. Even a teenage girl hit the pebbles with a wave, the ambulance also came. Immediately deep at the entrance. With children under 3-4 years old, it is not very good, and for those who cannot swim, it is also not an option. Waves immediately pull to the depth. my little one swam all the time in armlets and a circle and only with me.
5) The number is normal. Not luxurious, but not miserable as in Berdyansk departmental boarding houses. Everything worked. We got a view of the mountains and the courtyard of the check-in. On the one hand, it’s cool - you can’t hear the music and the sun doesn’t shine all day - the air conditioner was never turned on, and there was no smoke from the barbecue. On the other hand, at night you can hear buses picking up and bringing tourists. Removed normally. They twisted all sorts of garbage from the towels. There was a stain on one of the bath towels. We follow him. day changed. Toilet and shampoo replenished as needed.
6) The animation was simple near the pool. For kids, a kids club with drawing and stuff like that. In the evening Children's disco in the amphitheater, some kind of program for adults - we watched it once (Turkish night). And it seems to be somewhere disco for adults.
7) Cons. Of course there are cons - there are few staff. The cleaner on the beach appeared on the 5th day of rest. Deep entry into the sea and the lack of umbrellas closer to the water. The contingent - that ours, that the Turks, that the Russians sometimes went too far. But these are units. Most are pain less and quite adequate. There were moments in the dining room that there were not enough plates, and for 5 minutes we had to wait until they wash and take out new ones. the plates were chipped. But I put them aside. I have never seen unwashed dishes.
Summary: for the same money I would go here again and with pleasure. If it is possible to add $400-500 on top, I would choose Giustiniano Conti, 3 km away. And if another 500 from above, then in Mukarnas is also a couple of kilometers away. But this is not a tour for 800-1000, but for 2000 it will turn out))) For this money you can already watch a good four or five near Bodrum or Marmaris with a colder but clear sea)))
