отдых на Маргарите........... Holidays on Margarita.............

I will not describe flights and transits, suffice it to say that the journey from St. Petersburg to the hotel was 22 hours. Provided that everything was without delay. The journey from the airport to the hotel took about 45 minutes. The reception desk is right on the street. The hotel consists of many bungalows and a more modern building (similar to the two-story buildings of Turkey or Egypt). We were settled in a bungalow, but the air conditioner did not work there, and creepy huge bugs crawled on the floor. Without any problems, we were moved to a new building, very decent (large rooms, good plumbing), though we had to communicate in international sign language - not all hotel staff understand English, more precisely, only one.... )) . There are several small pools with bars and several children's pools on the territory of the hotel. The hotel area is not very large and not to say that it is very green. The beach is across the road and dirty! Sun loungers on the beach, even for money, and then the problem is to take them - they are simply not enough for everyone. Who did not have time to come early - hides in the shade of palm trees. . )) Sellers of pearls and all sorts of trinkets ALWAYS walk along the beach, very intrusive. As for food, this is a separate issue: there are 2 restaurants (all inclusive) on the territory - one is the main one, the second is Italian. So it's impossible to eat in any of them. Absolutely tasteless food. No pasta, no rice, no meat - it's impossible to eat at all. And I won’t even describe some exotic dishes like fried bananas. Decent - only desserts and fruits. The Italian restaurant is just a mockery of Italian cuisine. Outside the hotel there are several restaurants, but not to say that the cuisine is very impressive. Well, on the positive side - the most excellent sea, very clean and warm, turquoise and huge waves (the ladies just need a one-piece swimsuit))), great weather, iguanas running around the territory, which my daughter was delighted with. The hotel is far from the large settlement of Parlamara (about 40 minutes by taxi). There is no life near the hotel, and it is not recommended to go out.
