I am secretly surprised by the low rating of this hotel, which deserves a solid top five for its category and high occupancy. Positive: Food: a large restaurant with a diverse menu (for 9 days there was chicken, beef, duck, fish and turkey, we bring all the meat tasty and soft). There is no meat only at breakfast. Very tasty sweets, always fruits and vegetables. Staff: attentive, efficient, will help you carry a plate or find a chaise longue on the beach Territory: huge. 2 heated pools, one simple, aquagorks, clear sea, windless bay. They began to import fine white sand over plain sand. The entrance to the sea is both from the pontoon and from the shore, the bottom is sandy. We have purchased additional deck chairs. The room has a sea view, +50 dollars, and it's worth it! We checked in 10 minutes after arrival and were immediately invited to breakfast. Cons: a somewhat tired hotelier, if you are waiting for luxury for that kind of money, then you should go to the Ritz or Marriott. towels are not changed (well, that's understandable - there are thousands of sets), but the rooms have a hairdryer, soap, shampoo, lotion and gel. There is always water, a safe, a balcony or a terrace. In general, an excellent economy class hotel in all respects, we will be happy to visit again. Excursions from a tour operator are traditionally very expensive, for example, a 1.5-hour trip on a bathyscaphe in the company of 100 people costs (NOT worth it) about $50. Shopping: call for a free transfer to Mango market, really normal prices without haggling (for example: $ 2.5 sneakers for smoking; 4-5 men's cotton T-shirt, etc.).

We had a rest from November 14th to 24th. The weather is comfortably warm (23 at night, 29 in the afternoon), there is almost no wind, the sun is gentle, the sea is warm and calm. The reef is beautiful, there are a lot of fish, it's interesting to swim. You can buy a mask at the hotel's store. It is necessary to bargain so that you do not lose. The hotel is good on a solid 4. Beautiful blooming and green territory, they take great care, which cannot be said about the cleaning of the rooms. The rooms are old, there has been no repair for a very long time, it is clear that somewhere they tried to patch up the flaws, but poorly. The bathroom is just very old. There's nothing for the squeamish to do here. Towels are changed 1 time in 5 days and then when you remind yourself. The bed linen has not been changed for 10 days. The floors were washed and garbage was removed daily, but the dust from the table and the sink in the bathroom were not touched. We left $1 each for tea. In general, almost all the staff there expects tips for any minimal actions included in their duties. At the same time, everyone is very polite, smiling, joking. In general, communication is very good, tourists are loved. No one bothers or imposes any services. Almost everyone speaks Russian and quite well. About food. It is without frills, but no one was hungry. And meat and vegetables, fish, fruits, pastries. Soups and porridges, everything is there, there is also a separate room for children in the dining room. There were a lot of guests at our check-in, so finding an empty table in the dining room was a three-time quest. But we must pay tribute to the staff of the canteen, they work very quickly and harmoniously. But the management is lame, the second dining room was not always opened, and it was closed faster than the main one. It's the same story with sunbeds on the beach. There are much fewer of them than vacationers. And if you consider that many tourists come to the beach at 7 a.m. and take ice packs for themselves and for friends, then there is no place for people who came to the beach after breakfast at 9 a.m.. We lay several times just on towels on the sand. For $ 2, the beach staff will find and bring you a chaise longue. Beach towels are provided 1 time per day. Therefore, when leaving for lunch, people do not hand them over, but leave them on a chaise longue. I.e. during the day it is difficult to take a chaise longue if you did not have time in the morning. There are a lot of employees on the beach, as well as in any other part of the hotel. They carefully follow people into the water so that they do not swim onto the corals and do not injure themselves and break the coral. The beach is sandy, a beautiful gentle approach for children, a maximum depth of 1 meter. To swim at depth, you need to go to Panton, it offers a beautiful view of the reef. There is a real buzz here, the water is very salty, it holds perfectly on the surface. Even if you don't swim well, everything will be fine. The water is clear, the reef, corals and fish are perfectly visible. I don't want to get out of the water. There are daily shows for both children and adults.everything is standard and not very interesting and spectacular . there are 2 American billiards tables, very killed cues. And two tennis tables. There are bars everywhere, but there are only drinks in them, there is nothing to eat. Either take it in advance in the dining room or in the store. Bottled wine is charged from $ 6. The free beer is good. Ice cream and freshly squeezed juices or smoothies only for $1. We went for a walk to the city several times by taxi from the hotel. Depending on where you are going, the price ranges from 10 to 15 dollars round trip. Order a taxi back via WhatsApp. There are a lot of taxi drivers in the city, but the quality of the cars can be terrible. Once we decided to save a couple of dollars and drove to the hotel in a gasoline-stinking wreck. Fares visited two of the restaurants, many with the same name, but all differ in prices and menus. Expensive , but delicious. There is no alcohol in restaurants near the mosque, keep in mind. Maximum non-alcoholic beer. I liked the Naoma Bay area the most in terms of the set of restaurants and the price-quality ratio. There are many restaurants and shops, a promenade. Soho Square is beautiful for walking. There are few restaurants and they are expensive. There is an ice rink, a bowling alley, an amusement park and a playground with mazes for children. The hotel has a good water park, in general, the hotel was chosen because of it. It's great for kids. There are only three slides for adults , but they are quite enough . The territory of the hotel is divided into two parts. The first one is closer to the sea and the main building, and the second one is closer to the water park. From the farthest building to the sea on foot is no more than 5 minutes, this is normal and not at all tedious. The paths are beautiful in flowers, shaded by palm trees. You walk around and admire. In the evening, be sure to close the balcony, mosquitoes will fly, a sleepless night will be provided. they bite hard and a lot. We slept with air conditioning, no one caught a cold. We didn't buy souvenirs, but I'll tell you right away, it's better to take them from the hotel store, they have a good selection and you can bargain. In duty free, the choice is small, prices are at least 2 times higher. Cheap souvenirs in a fixed price list or in Mango. Be sure to bargain in the market, prices are overestimated by 5 times or more. The hotel has a good and inexpensive massage. For $100, 5 sessions, includes a steam room, massage, Jacuzzi.

It's a lovely hotel. 5+++ We've been to a lot of places, but this place has become a favorite as a home. The food, the location, the sea, the fish, the reefs, the service, the housekeeping, the excursions - everything is perfect. Take a room with a sea view. The surcharge is a penny. The territory of the hotel is a wonderful city. The coffee is delicious. Cats and birds are cute. Tip: show a movie, because there's not enough in the evenings. And have pillows that are not so big )
