It so happened that my young man has already written a review on our vacation, but since we are still different people, our impressions are similar in some ways, but different in some ways.
In general - if meals were not included in the bill, a great place to stop to travel on excursions. And now in more detail.
Location. The hotel is excellent. Everything is very very close - bus stop, pharmacies, cafes, several shops, a mini market, guides, ATMs and attractions. You can drive on your own, which we did.
Staff. Rather just polite than friendly. Friendly maids and Marat's guards.
Territory. This is more of a minus than a plus. She actually doesn't exist. There are ups and downs. There is Marata Park nearby, but somehow I didn’t like it there either. In the evening, just sit at the reception. Or look at the pool.

Rooms. We had a standard-economy-south, similar to the picture from the hotel website, but subjectively, because of the old doors, closet and floor, it looks a little worse. The bathroom is in good condition, clean, towels are new, white, there was a set of soap and shampoo. Great, simply amazing view from the balcony, if there were sun loungers on it, we would live on it. Hot and cold water was available all the time.
Cleaning. Carried out every day. We noticed only the removal of garbage. The floors were vacuumed and washed only after a separate request. Towels were changed even more than once every 3 days. Toilet paper as needed. A set of soap and shampoo was not reported, apparently they thought that we wash once a week. What is the point of putting them in the first place is not clear.
Swimming pool. Its plus is that it exists and that it is almost never windy in the pool area. Its minus is that it is cold (it can be normal in summer, but during our vacation it was cold), it was only possible to quickly plunge several times no more. Deep enough, not for children. Didn't look very clean. Every day from two to four break - the filters are cleaned. At exactly 4 the sun hides behind the buildings. and it gets cold. That is, the pool, at best, can be used from 9 am (beginning of work) to 2 in the afternoon. And considering that it's still cold in the morning. . . I don't understand why these filters can't be turned on at night? Also, on Thursdays, the pool does not work at all until 4 - prevention. They observed how the entrance was simply closed until half past five, the cleaners simply cleaned the territory, and at half past five in the evening the cleaning had just begun. Nothing is done for the convenience of the guests.
Animation. For children, the animation was, I don’t know if it’s good or not, we don’t have children. In the evening there is a children's disco. There is no animation for adults.
Beach and beach access.
The cable car from Marat is really a salvation, since the descent is very inconvenient, there are steps, and the ascent is generally terrible, a little hard. We watched people go down with wheelchairs... We would not have dared to do this. On the cable car three minutes up and down, convenient. The first two days are still interesting.

There are two beaches, if the sun is shining, then you need to look for free sunbeds. In September, everything is ok, but in the summer there may be problems with this. Given that these are the beaches of Marat, and there can be a lot of people. Bottom with sharp stones.
Nutrition.
Meals in the dining room of Marat. Breakfast and dinner. The choice of dishes does not change, small, you can only eat half of what is offered. From the second half, the stomach began to hurt. Although it is generally not clear how you can spoil primitive dishes, such as boiled eggs, omelettes, casseroles, sausages or onion tomato salads. And this happens if you keep them in the refrigerator before that or cook them from old products, apparently. Despite the fact that the range of products from which everything is prepared is quite good, you still have to manage to spoil the dishes in such a way.
That's it. Complete with meals, we will definitely not return here, but if the administration makes options without meals, reducing the price by 2-1.5 times, then there will be a completely normal place to relax with its pluses and minuses.
