A great hotel for a family holiday. There are a lot of activities for children - a water park and an amusement park. The rooms are clean and modern. An excellent large saltwater pool covers all the disadvantages of the hotel. The quality of the food suffers a lot - there is a large selection, but in the main restaurant there is an unpleasant smell, all the food tastes very similar, there are also queues for the buffet. The paid restaurants on site have a slightly better quality of dishes, but everything is nevertheless similar to the main buffet menu-the lack of competition affects, but at the same time they have good views. It is better to go to the city for dinner, there are several restaurants near the coast where dinner will be much better than at the hotel. It is better to change the currency in the city (there are VTB ATMs that work with Russian cards) or in advance, at the reception the exchange rate is very different. Paid SPA treatments for a confident 4*, it is convenient that everything is in the hotel. There is no big point in overpaying for a sea view, it is visible from almost all rooms.
A great place to spend your vacation. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable, the staff is polite. I want to mention the beds separately, they are very comfortable, I slept like a baby. The territory is very large, there are several pools on it, one of them with waves, the other with heating, several children's with slides and I would like to separately note the Infinite pool, it is warm and with sea water, not deep, for adults and children. There are a lot of entertainment for children, a water park, many attractions, entertainment programs with animators. About the food. My son and I had an all-inclusive package and we ate in several places absolutely free of charge. She's just different. There is fast food on the beach (pizza, potatoes, salads, beer dishes, etc.), next to a bar with drinks, juices, cocktails, beer and other drinks. You can relax on the sunbed and eat))) The main restaurant has a buffet, where you can choose whatever your heart desires. Dishes are suitable for both vegetarians and ordinary people, children also have something to eat. There is also a large selection of ice cream, fruit cakes, cakes)) There is also a Spa in the hotel, we went there daily, visited saunas and a swimming pool. I really liked this place, even though we were checked into the hotel for a long time. This problem is common in the hotel and we were ready for it after reading the reviews. This moment did not spoil the overall impression of this vacation. Have a nice holiday for everyone!!!
We stayed at this hotel with our family in August, 2024
For two adults and two children, there was a very comfortable room with separate beds and a sea view. 🤩
The cuisine is varied, lots of vegetables and snacks
But it was a little more difficult for our children to find food, because they don't eat everything and little 😁
But they ate too much ice cream
I really liked the saltwater pool with a view of the sea. It's just the thing for children!
In the indoor pool, you can swim and bask in the cool, spacious saunas.
The house itself is very beautiful, stylish and clean!
Take pictures at least at every step
This is an ideal place for families with children and for young couples without children. The hotel's programs and zoning are designed for all categories.
It's a very pleasant place, I would like to come back again! The beautiful interior, the variety of food and drinks, the children appreciated the large selection of ice cream. Great attention is paid to the nuances: there is a large shelf for accessories in the shower cabin, it is convenient to put the suitcase on a special high stand, the light turns on in the dressing room when the doors open, etc. There is a water park with slides for all ages, a large area with attractions, which is open daily until 11 p.m. There are a lot of activities for children and adults, something happens every half hour, it's impossible to cover everything))
But next time, I would have pre-booked the check-in earlier, since we arrive at the hotel around 5 a.m., and check-in at 2-3 p.m., All tourists sleep all the time on sofas, ottomans and armchairs...
P.S.: There is a studio downstairs where you can order an excellent photo shoot in different locations, we managed to change several images in an hour, very quickly and efficiently, there have never been so many successful photos in one photo shoot that lasted only an hour.
I was at the hotel at the end of March 2024. Overall, the hotel left a good impression. The standard room is large, everything is clean and tidy. Good service. The girls at the reception will always help and prompt. The territory of the hotel is not very large, but the advantage is a water park and a lunopark. There are A LOT OF children in the hotel. Very much) Actually, there is everything for children there. And a nightclub, and a water park +lunapark. But it turned out that the food distribution area is very small. For a hotel of this capacity, everything is modest. There is a choice of dishes, you will not stay hungry. It's a pretty decent spa. It was there that the children were saved from the noise) To go to the hotel only with children, there is nothing for a couple to do there. Children are everywhere, even in the pool area of 12+) Well, or if someone knows how to ignore such noise) cocktails are made strong, there is a choice. But I can't say there's a lot of variety. To summarize: If we talk about the fact that the hotel is 5 *, then yes. Respond. But it's not rixos. If you have previously vacationed in hotels of the Rixos chain, you may not be disappointed much. Or not a lot, depends on the degree of pampering) If I return to the hotel, it will only be with the children.
An incredible place. An atmosphere of luxury and freedom. A huge territory, a large amusement park and a water park. The Caspian Sea, the Kazakh steppe, peace and quiet.
Friendly and calm staff, attentive to guests. A large buffet restaurant, mainly national and Russian cuisine. Delicious, lots of meat dishes, sausages, cheeses and vegetables in all iterations.
Two heated swimming pools. It is huge on the street along the beach, visually turning into the Caspian Sea. Standard, 25-meter, indoor, also heated on the territory of the wing with spa and saunas. And there is also a lot of entertainment for the whole family. There is a free-standing children's club with animators and various games. Settings, doodlers, air hockey, and more. Parents can leave their child and not worry. The rooms are standard and quite cozy. They are well equipped. Wi-Fi is working well throughout the hotel. There are souvenir shops and clothing shops on the ground floor. Alcohol is available and generally of high quality, but all of the same grade. For example, all types of whiskey tasted the same. But the bartenders made delicious cocktails.
We had a rest with the whole family and children. We really liked it.
Wonderful hotel, excellent service! Excellent rooms-clean, well maintained, new. A wonderful restaurant with a wide variety of food, delicious and a lot. I've read reviews in which someone is not happy with the restaurant. I don't understand who these people are and how do they eat if they lack this abundance? It's hard for me to say what didn't happen. I haven't eaten so many crayfish since I was a child, how much I ate during my vacation. The animators are great, no one pulls you, without being intrusive, but you want to spend time with them. Training with various famous athletes. At least drink alcohol, none of the bartenders looks at you askance. The booze is all expensive and imported. Wines from Italy, Spain and Chile. A saltwater pool, a huge water park, attractions and everything is free. There is also my favorite pool 16+, it is a real resax. Hot water and silence. I've been in it for hours. There are two disadvantages. First, it is difficult to enter the sea, rocks, silt and shoals. And the second disadvantage is the a la carte meat restaurant. The restaurant itself and the service, everything is top notch, but the food! It feels like the cook was deliberately trying to spoil something that couldn't be spoiled. We've been suffering with stomachs all night. And the same food in the main restaurant, all very tasty. We were with our family in an a la carte restaurant on 08/13/2024. The only place you shouldn't go. I also forgot to write about the spa- a wonderful place, I definitely recommend you to visit. Special thanks to Animator and coach Sergey, as well as the MMA champion, who conducted boxing training for Zhasulan Akimzhan. And a personal thank you from my wife, yoga coach Victoria. P.S. We never go back to the places where we were, but I want to return to this hotel.
A great place for a family vacation. The staff is very friendly, attentive, the hotel territory is large and well maintained. The cuisine is decent, very tasty, alcohol is just for every taste! The only thing I would like is more animation for both children and adults during the day. An excellent water park, the water is comfortable on adult slides, but I would like it warmer on children's slides, the water is cold. An excellent children's playroom, with an active entertainment program, there is a room with game consoles, for our modern children this is paradise. The rooms are gorgeous. Recommend 👍
A good hotel , beautiful territory ,clean rooms ,safe and clean, it is very important with children. Choosing this hotel, keep in mind that it is as family-friendly as possible , there are a lot of children and if you plan to hang out , it is definitely not here, although there are discos and live music in the evening !I still take off for the service , the staff is certainly not rude , but everything is as cold as possible and with dissatisfied faces , there is a lot of hot food but one is monotonous ,there are delicious positions , there are none at all and most of them, the main surprise was terribly not tasty vegetables , from the south and the summer season , something I did not expect !In general, everything is fine with small disadvantages)))
We liked everything, we were in August. The rooms are nice and spacious. The villas are even more luxurious😁
Alcohol is super, they don't regret it. Everything is of high quality 24/7
It is better to check in early in advance, since during the season it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to check into the hotel ahead of time.
Bracelets are given immediately and you can use everything.
The only negative is the sea ! Very shallow , the bottom is not well maintained, muddy in places. No one practically swims in it, everyone hangs out in the infinity pool with sea water. It compensates for the sea.
But they need to work out the issue with the sea, they can fill up the bottom with sand, clean it. The only thing I didn't like was the sea.
Nice hotel. The infinity pool and children's park are simply gorgeous! The water in the children's water park is cold, so we rarely went there. An adult water park is quite good! The food is decent. The room was very pleasantly surprised - 2 rooms, 2 baths, 3 balconies. The territory of the hotel is small, but there is enough of everything. The kids' club is good. The spa is great - you can walk every day. Quite a decent Rixos, but not the best.
Great hotel, the rooms are clean.
The food is varied and delicious.
The sea is clearly not black, but there is a gorgeous saltwater pool. The zones are well divided: with children at one end, adults separately. If you want to relax from the series to sunbathe and lie down, and have a delicious meal-here. Entertainment programs in the evening.
A large water park, attractions for every taste.
We rested in August 2023, we also rested in Rixos Belek, so there is something to compare it with. In general, he is below the level, but he is such a good little brother. The staff is friendly, tries very hard, everyone speaks Russian, the territory is well maintained, such a green oasis in the desert! Sea. It's knee-deep in summer, everyone hangs out in the huge pool. There are a lot of children. Food, if you like only meat, is normal. But there is no fish, only in ala-karts, there are very few different greens, a small selection of fruits. But there is a lot of bread and pastries and different.in general, the nutrition for the Rixos level is weak. But we will still recommend staying at this hotel, despite the nuances, we had a good rest.
We got what we expected from the rest. Not a bad diet with an emphasis on national cuisine, there is a lot of meat and a variety. We were pleased with the crayfish. A la carte - very tasty and satisfying!
An amusement park and a water park are great additions to the hotel grounds. I would also like to express my gratitude to the barmaid at the bar by the sea, an excellent employee, offered and made delicious cocktails.
I liked the "living sea", a lot of fish, fed from the Pier. The sea is too shallow for swimming, but you can swim.
Animation is not intrusive, it's what we wanted. I liked the evening shows. Children's too.
On the downside - periodically some alcohol ran out, I had to look for a replacement, not fundamentally for me, but strangely. And it was very unusual to cook an aperol cocktail without an aperol;)
The waiters in the main restaurant sometimes took an order, but forgot to deliver it. Not often, but still.
The overall result is that I liked the rest, you can repeat it
Rixos in Aktau is a good hotel, huge and very crowded, with an aqua park and an amusement park. There are visitors in the parks who are not staying at the hotel. After September 1, there are not many of them at all, and during the season (holidays) It can be crowded there. On the territory of parks, meals are not included in the hotel all-inclusive and cost many times more than in Moscow. Attractions do not always work and not all of them. And they don't let you do everything. There are completely unreasonable restrictions on the growth of the child and your baby may not be allowed to drive even at a snail's pace. There is almost nothing in Rixos for children under 2 years old. They're not being looked after at the kids' club. All the children are running around, playing, playing pranks, doing whatever they want. A babysitter costs 2000 rubles per hour (🤬)
Lifeguards are watching the pools. They do not let children without panties.
Even in the off-season, all the sun beds at the main pool are occupied, although they are very tight, you can not pass. There is a bar nearby, which always has a queue. The wave pool is colder and there is no bar, so it is much freer there. There is also a 16+ adult pool and an indoor pool. The adult also has a bar, but there are few options, but there is almost no queue. If it's windy, there are a lot of people in the indoor. You can swim in the indoor pool in the morning, but sometimes they make the water too warm for training. The spa has baths and saunas. There is no hydro massage. There is a warm paddling pool for kids.
On food: there seems to be a lot of things, but everything repeats itself. Most of the dishes are the same every day. Breakfast is always the same. For breakfast, sliced bread, cheesecakes, cottage cheese, porridge. The cuts look very suspicious: the meat ones ooze with fat and are of a strange color, and the cheese ones always crack. There are always nuggets and French fries. It's always real: for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And there are always cuts too.
And there are always rolls.
And there's a terrible queue for the omelet. There are scrambled eggs without waiting in line. And at breakfast you can also ask for Frutonian baby puree and alcohol at the bar.
For lunch: soups are different every day (queue). There are many types of pasta for children. Chicken, beef. Vegans will be very sad here. Although arb
Pros: Cool beautiful hotel with excellent service. Modern design renovation in the rooms. A big plus is its own water park and amusement park. Beautiful sea view, clean beach. The territory is well maintained and beautifully decorated. The staff is attentive and friendly, including security. The pool is large with sea water. There is a lot of food, and the bar has a large selection of high-quality spirits.
Cons: Entering the sea is not very good. The bottom is terrible. The entertainment program is monotonous. There is little meat assortment. There are a lot of people, there is not enough pool.
Fine, everything is for the guest!
A large view pool with warm water, a smooth entrance, a 6-year-old child swam without a vest for several hours in a row, and began to swim confidently again! The sun beds are almost all occupied before lunch, you will not lie down with the company. There are plenty of free sunbeds after 14.00. There is animation, music, alcohol to choose from at the bar and through the waiter.
Bar. There are several bars on the territory, there are Balantays, Jim beam, Gin, Cognacs, Jagermeister, Aperol, wine. Champagne: Marani, Abrau, and the attention of Santo Stefano, so you need to ask for a specific brand!!!Professional bartenders work everywhere, they prepare cocktails well, they are friendly, they do not ask for money and do not take it, they serve strictly in turn, which is good!
Food, There is a lot of food in the assortment and it is very tasty, meat of 7-10 types. There was a lot of lumpy meat, not enough minced meat or cutlets for the child. There is always a queue of 10 people for meat, but you guys are not in the museum, looking at each dish on duty, I never stood, took what was free while the "art critic" was looking at it. I don't understand who didn't like the food, then for them tours to hotels for 1.5 million, and for 200 rubles,
in general, it's super here!
Park. It works until 12 at night, there are no people in the late evening, you can ride without getting up from the cart for several laps in a row. The pearl of the park, a slide with water, the most high without overload, so as not to be sprayed then 2nd row, 2nd, 3rd place. But it is better to start gradually from the smallest slide, increasing the slides and lowering the adrenaline.
Water park. It doesn't work at night, so there are always crowds of people from outside, everywhere you have to queue. The slides are normal, but they don't cling after the park.
Children's room. It is completely empty, the child refused to stay there. But they say there is animation on the record, we did not go
Number. The interior is very modern. There are 2 ottomans for children in each room. Very comfortable pillows. There was a razor, toothbrushes, gels, shampoo, body wash. Mini bar, beer, soda, water, juice. Lots of shelves, hangers. TV has 4 cartoon channels in Russian.
Spa. Cool people no one.
The guests are Russians, Kazakhs, Iranians, Turks.
Aktau. The city itself is not rich, there is not much to do there, there is a lot of Slavic-European appearance among the locals. Supermarkets accept Union Pay cards.
There were 26.08-02.09.2024
We were with friends and children. We really liked the hotel from the variety of entertainment for children, to the variety of food! It was a lot of fun, great rooms, excellent room cleaning, always went to a meeting in any questions! I want to mention their wonderful SPA and my discovery by masseuse Asia (I have never done such a massage) . You can smoke a hookah on the shore in the evening. I would especially like to mention the football academy and coaches Konstantin and Alexander, my son goes to the sections a lot and finding good coaches is often a problem, we went here almost every day! Thank you for your work and love for children, considering that the guys often change and this approach to everyone! We would have come back here again)
I really liked everything! The service is excellent , entertainment for Every taste and age , a variety of food. And now for more details:
Food and drinks.
Varied food almost 24/7, you definitely won't stay hungry! Cocktails and alcohol of excellent quality, I especially want to mention the Kazakh bartender at the Infinity bar, he makes the best cocktails! Everything is always very tasty in the main restaurant, nothing ends, even if you come at the end. I didn't go to A la carte because they don't give free admission for 5 nights.
Number.
They settled us quickly , because it was already evening , they gave us a wonderful room , it was better not to wish ! The sea view is huge, beautiful, cleaned every day and replenished cosmetics and water.
Sport.
I would like to say a special thank you to coach Sergey Samsonov, he offered various activities, conducted a bike ride every morning, motivated me to train! I even offered saps , but I was unlucky with the weather. Thanks to such people, rest turns into an active and healthy pastime, and not lazy lying down. Thank you very much, Sergey!
Hotel.
The hotel is huge, as is its territory. There is always an opportunity to go somewhere and do something. Unlimited access to the water park and amusement park, swimming pools, gym, spa with pool, bars and restaurants, sports training, show programs and parties in the evenings, sports broadcasts - well, what else can you wish for??!!
I went without children, there are even more interesting things before them! An ideal place to relax with your family.
Now the cons, it's the wind! It was so strong for a couple of days that I wanted to stay in the spa! When traveling to the city, we went outside the hotel and thought we would return. The wind was blowing us away.
I would also like to note the availability of bottled water everywhere, at any bar in the room - it's just wonderful!
The spa serves delicious tea with honey and lemon. They bring it right to the pool))
The service is just great, the rest was just great!!! Thanks !
Personal recommendation: be sure to visit the Ferris wheel at sunset - it's great 😻
Great hotel. The flight from Moscow is two hours, which is also a big plus. The hotel staff is polite and Russian-speaking. The cuisine has a touch of Asia, but for me it's also a plus. The sea is shallow, but a large saltwater pool compensates for this by 100%. There is a large water park with attractions in the neighboring territory. Admission is free for hotel visitors. An ideal choice for July-August!
Of the cons: early arrival. But this is rather a question for the tour operator. Decide in advance the issue of early check-in!
The children and I really liked it. Everyone speaks Russian, there is no language barrier. The children were in the kids' club all the time, there were a lot of activities and games. True, there are very few toys in the children's club and there is not enough maze or climbing wall for children, a large club, but quite empty. Very good animators, treated children, danced with them, played mafia in the evenings. The cuisine was very tasty, there was a lot of national cuisine and a lot of ordinary. For modern children, there have always been French fries and pasta. The rooms are clean and cozy. The atmosphere is very pleasant.
This is a very cool European-level hotel. In general, the Rixos hotel chain is a very cool chain ! Everything is at the highest level - room stock, service, cuisine, entertainment for children and adults, imported alcohol, experienced bartenders and chefs. We have vacationed a lot of places - Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Cyprus, Turkey, Egypt, Sochi, but we have not been to Kazakhstan. We learned about Riksos in Aktau. And they didn't regret it!!! It's a whole city of entertainment. We are from Yekaterinburg, it takes a little over 2 hours to fly, and an hour to get to the hotel. And you are in a very cool place!! This is the Kazakh Disneyland - a large water park, attractions, swings, carousels, toshnilovki and light ones, for every taste. Who was not , I advise you!!! It's a paradise for children!!!
The hotel is just super duper, of course it's expensive, but I highly recommend visiting this hotel the rooms are gorgeous, the food is delicious, the pools are high, the spa is also high, the atmosphere is pleasant and beautiful, the water park is super cool we were there 2 times and it's like a dream minus zero I recommend the events are just good
The hotel is very nice. Your vacation will be the best, there was not a single negative moment. The child care animators are doing a great job. The children's room itself is modern. The alcohol is elite, the food is excellent. Ice cream on a stick and balls, freely available. The pools are clean, there was no poisoning. The service is trouble-free, always smiles and help, no grumbling under your nose, like the Arabs in Egypt) The sauna is great, and the kids liked the hot mini pool. The sunsets are simply gorgeous.
We had a vacation in August with our family. The weather is excellent, very warm but not hot, in the evenings it blows cool from the sea. The food and servi are on the level, there is always a variety of meat, fish, grilled every other day, you will not stay hungry. Alcohol, the best I've seen, olmeca, Bacardi, martel, wines of Chile, Italy, Spain, Georgia and other types, all branded. We didn't swim much in the sea, just to cool off, there is a beautiful infinity pool, salty, clean, not deep, everyone rests there. The main feature is a water park and an amusement park, it's better to walk before lunch, so there are fewer people and the sun is not so hot, after lunch you can get burned very quickly. When a lot of people have to "fight" for buns, the principle of "rolled gave away" does not work here. Those who receive buns ride as long as their conscience allows. The parks themselves are great, they come from all over Kazakhstan. The most delicious coffee, as it seemed to us, is brewed by the girls in the lobby on the 3rd floor.
Of the cons:
. The sea is still not real, the depth is waist-deep, the stones are large at the bottom, the bottom is covered with silt.
. The stairs on the pier are covered with shells in the water, if you do not use them carefully, you can get hurt.
. We checked in an hour later, but access to all hotel services was immediately available, so we had breakfast, bought and had lunch.
A super hotel with one important drawback. Very beautiful territory, good and courteous service, clean and new rooms. A large spa center and a good-quality fitness room, a lot of group classes with coaches, I especially liked volleyball. A huge park for children, as well as an excellent children's club, I especially want to highlight the football section, the coaches are very attentive to each child, they answer all parents' questions with a desire, the guest star is Vladimir Bystrov! A huge saltwater pool for children and a wonderful 16+ relaxation pool where you can relax in silence while the children are in class.
The only disadvantage is the food, I would like more variety, dumplings for breakfast, but I want for dinner, one type of fish every day, no changes, the waiters do not always have time to serve the guests! If it wasn't for the food, the hotel would have deserved all 5, we will be glad to return next year!
A great place to relax with children.
The food is good, especially great when they arrange a national cuisine day.
The hotel staff is polite and helpful.
Attractions are not only for children, but also for adult fans of extreme sports
And what sunsets, especially the view from the Ferris wheel.
The hotel is so- so for rixos ( but generally not bad . The territory is large, there is a water park, an amusement park for both adults and children. A swimming pool with sea water, there is a pool for adults only, they do not know how to serve in the rooms, to be honest, they gave two sets of towels for 3 residents! The meat food is excellent, but with fish the trouble is, fish cooked with scales))) there are a lot of sweets, ice cream is always available. In general, I put 5 stars just as for the hotel, but not as for the Rixos network
It's a very cool hotel. Nice clean rooms, well-kept grounds, delicious and varied food. It is possible to note the excellent work of the staff, attentiveness to guests, in particular to children. The infinity pool is wonderful. Water is heated everywhere. We had a great rest, we'll be back again.
Pros:
The lack of opportunity to swim in the Caspian Sea (cold, shallow and cloudy) is fully compensated by a lagoon pool (clean, warm water, stunning views of the sea horizon), an 18+ adult pool (warm water, clean, quiet, own bar) and a pool with waves. The sun beds by the lagoon are fully occupied by 12 o'clock, but the adult pool and the wave pool always have a lot of space.
There is a wonderful water park and amusement park for children on the territory, there are no queues, there is enough space for everyone, everything is clean.
The staff is responsive, polite, friendly, they try very hard to help and prompt. The hotel is fully loaded, the restaurant always has free tables, is cleaned and served constantly.
The cleaning of the territory is very thorough, I saw how the paths are washed with a brush and detergent in the evening.
Room cleaning is daily, conscientious.
The hotel itself is new, the rooms are comfortable, spacious, everything is working properly.
The food is varied, but within the framework of breakfast, lunch and dinner, the menu does not change significantly every day. There is no pork, of course, and no cutlets/steaks, meatballs. But during the week there was once borscht and once cabbage soup)
A wonderful spa complex, saunas, hammam are clean and hot. At the entrance to the hammam there is a large lounge space with cabins for relaxing with sofas. Excellent indoor large pool and small one. They give large towels and not one at a time, and terry bathrobes, which is very convenient, since it is necessary to walk from the saunas to the hammam area and pools, it may be cool.
Minuses:
The food in the restaurant cools down very quickly, but there is a microwave.
In the amusement park, some work intermittently, in particular, the attraction with the Snuri octopus, it is necessary to solve the problem with the lack of sound effects at the end of the route.
In the hammam, tiles begin to fall off on the stairs at the entrance to the mini-pool, and children actively help her with this.
The hotel is new, but in some places it is clear that the quality of construction work is lame. For example, solid wood doors, both in the room and on the territory of the hotel, are poorly installed, and as a result, they sag and do not close or close with difficulty.
In order for an excellent hotel to flourish, it is necessary to monitor its condition and immediately eliminate any problems.
I had a rest in June 2024. In general, it's pretty good. Large, well-maintained territory, near an amusement park and a water park. The room is clean, cleaning is regular. The attitude of the staff is friendly. I took off the star because of the food. There is a lot of food, and it is varied, but mostly for some reason it is not tasty.
Excellent hotel, 5-star infrastructure. Very tasty food, wonderful rooms. It's not a bad amusement park. Of the disadvantages, I noticed: it is unclear how the pools are heated, those when the water was cold outside, and the warmest pool turned out to be 16 + without children. Then, in the heat, all the pools were very warm. The appliances in the restaurant sometimes come across poorly washed
Everything is clear, but for money, the water park includes attractions , high-quality drinks and food,different room options, including villas, the sea is shallow, purely hotel recreation, a pool for children, a pool for adults (we must take note of our merchants to hoteliers), camels run more carefully on the road
Reduced 1 point for dirty dishes and cutlery. We have been here since August 25, 2024, for 5 nights. The hotel itself is beautiful, comfortable, the rooms are clean, daily cleaning, replacement of hygiene products, bar and towels is done on time. The pools are heated, clean, enough for a large number of people, but there are not enough beds. There are play areas for children, an indoor swimming pool with a hammam and saunas, a free bar inside the building and on the beach, an aquapark and an amusement park. The territory is large and clean, enough for walking along the sea. The food is all inclusive, the choice is not very large, the same thing every day, one hot dish for dinner is only changed, surprisingly the watermelons and melons were unripe and the vegetables were tough, the tomatoes are oaky, although it is the end of August. The staff is polite and attentive, they solve all questions at the reception, ask if everything is fine. I asked them to pay attention to the cleanliness of the dishes.
A great family vacation turned out to be at the Rixos Water World Aktau Hotel! 🇰🇿🔥🌊
Lots of fun for kids: Rixy Club, theme park and Tetysblu Water Park! Unlimited access) live music every evening👍🏼 The hotel has a SPA salon 🧖🏼♀️
It's an amazing place, but it would be nice if the food was more varied and there would be more animations for both adults and children
In addition to attractions and slides with pools (there is such a moment that the bottom of some pools is damaged or, in other words, is no longer complete) there is nowhere to spend much time
The hammam is gorgeous, all the pools are amazing, and we liked the rooms too. Polite staff, however, there is a point that it is not always possible to wait for reception at the reception, given that the hotel is relatively new, I do not take much into account.
It would be great if more dishes were cooked on fire, in the evenings and during the day
In general, very good service, daily cleaning (change of towels and linen), replenishment of the bar in the room daily. The bar is 24 hours old, we were pleased with the variety of drinks (bartenders try to please everyone, friendly staff), there is also a huge selection of juice, non-alcoholic cocktails, hot chocolate, ice cream for children.
The food is a little bland, mostly stewed, boiled meat, stewed fish. There is very little fried meat (I repeat, everything is stewed). There was a lack of a variety of soups, very liquid, almost one broth. Vegetables include cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants and fried zucchini. A variety of pastries and sweets. In the hours after breakfast, you can have a snack by the pool, hot freshly baked pizza, fast food, fruits.
The main pool has salty sea water, but there is a drawback, the tiles have broken off in some places and you can damage your feet. There are always lifeguards around the perimeter of the pool. There is a 16+ swimming pool where you can relax from children.
On a cool day we went to the SPA, I really liked the Turkish bath. Massages can be arranged for an additional fee. Everything is clean and very comfortable.
A separate plus of our vacation is a water park and an amusement park. For children, this is a very cool entertainment for every day.
We went to a restaurant by appointment (included in the accommodation). Although not a varied menu, everything is delicious.
I would like to see more entertainment for children in the playroom. In our case, the children did not want to stay there.
I rated it 9 out of 10, I liked almost everything, I think I will definitely come back here. Thank you for your time.
We rested for a week in July. The weather was great - it was comfortable to sunbathe and swim in the afternoon, and walk in the evening. As for the first one, there is a wide variety of options. There are both gorgeous pools on site (I liked infinity, which seems endless), and a whole water park with a pool with beach sand.
For walking, there is an excellent promenade along the sea, along which you can walk from the hotel to the amusement park. The park has a large number of attractions with varying degrees of extremity and for different ages. We enjoyed going for a ride there every evening with a child of five years old. In addition, a children's disco and an entertainment show are held in the park in the evenings.
There is a children's club on site for children. The child enjoyed spending time there, participating in various activities organized by animators, or just playing with other children. Ours really liked the aquagrim - it was painted there every day.
Adults are organized for darts, football, and volleyball. There are tennis courts (rackets can be rented).
As for the food, in addition to the main buffet restaurant, there are two more a la carte restaurants. We had one free trip to one of these restaurants for 7 nights of stay. In the main buffet restaurant, the variety of food seems to be good, but sometimes it can still be difficult to choose something to taste. There is also no dietary food. But there are a lot of desserts and pastries. We really liked the baklava. It's always fresh and super tasty there. In the evenings, grilled food was often cooked on the street side of the main restaurant. Once they caught a delicious white fish there. There is food by the pool, several bars.
The grounds, as well as the hotel itself, are clean and tidy. Room cleaning is on the level. But some rooms, despite the freshness of the hotel, are already shabby in places.
To summarize, we really liked it.
A good 5-star hotel. Everything has animation, sports, responsive staff. Cool ala'card restaurants are a bonus. Among the disadvantages, it is possible to note the shallow sea and not a very good entrance, but this is more than compensated by the pools with sea water and heating.
A great alternative to Turkey, it takes only two hours to fly, and we were very well received.
We got to the very first race at the end of May.
The territory, the rooms are excellent, the pool is clean, well maintained, polite staff.
Cocktails are better made in the hotel itself, on the beach, no matter what you ask, everyone pours "Santo Stefano"
Since we had the first race, apparently we didn't swing..food for three is a stretch.
But there are two restaurants, meat and fish, here everything is on a solid 5.
Great amusement park, water park.
Is it worth going, yes absolutely.
Those who were after us praised the kitchen, so the conclusion is to go in the second or third wave, but it is more expensive.
We have been traveling since the end of May for three people and paid 180 thousand for 8 days.
You don't really need money with you, but if you don't want to bring souvenirs.
There is a hookah on the beach bar for 12 thousand tenge, for our 3500.
A taxi to the city is 1000 rubles.
But what is in the city that only tenge is charged at the airport!
The hotel charges dollars and euros.
Good afternoon 😃
I flew to Kazakhstan for the first time and was in a place like this for the first time, this is a good decision. There is good service and a great place to relax. It's great to swim and eat and get drunk. 😁
They arrange all sorts of cultural events for children.😌
The downside is that there's nothing to do except get drunk and swim.
________________________________________________________________
Among the advantages: good rooms, a beautiful spa area, access to the aqua park and amusement park, there are few people there and it's cool.
The food is so-so, the drinks are bad. In general, this could be tolerated.
The biggest disadvantage is the children's room. I chose a hotel for a comfortable stay with a child of 5 years old, so that for an hour or two a day I could take him to the children's room. I have never met such a disgusting "work" of animators anywhere (I travel a lot). Small children wander around the room doing nothing. Realizing this after a couple of visits, I approached different animators twice, on different days, so that the child would be taken on a quest when it starts and/ or taken to watch a cartoon, both times the request was ignored. The child was stupidly waiting for me to come and there are a lot of such "sad / bored" preschoolers there. There are simply no animators in sight. The first time we came, instead of "hi, what's your name?" the child was told, "if you want to go to your mother, we will call her and she will pick you up." Half an hour later, they called me and said that the child wanted to come to me. When asked by his son what happened, he said that his uncle came up to him and asked if he wanted to see his mother… I was shocked. (I have a calm/sadistic child who quietly stays without me). Full of the feeling that children are not welcome. The "a la" room is open every/all day. At the same time, it turned out that on Saturdays, children cannot be left in the room for three hours, and it does not matter that all this time is reflected in the schedule as working with different activities. The climax was when the children's train, which travels around the hotel and rides the kids, left for the amusement park, without warning that the flight was the last, with my son unaccompanied and did not return back. I had to find out where the train was, run to the amusement park, look for a train so that the child would not be scared alone in a crowded place and actually outside the hotel. The impression is strange - the hotel is clearly designed for holidays with children, with such negligence... I definitely do not recommend it with small children. With schoolchildren, it is probably normal, who themselves are able to find an animator and the declared activities.
A great place to relax! Excellent service, cleanliness in the rooms and a magnificent view of the sea from the rooms. I liked the friendly staff and the cozy rooms with modern design. I was impressed by the cleanliness and order of the hotel. Ideal for families with children. Cool water park and kids club. My guys really liked football. We set the alarm clocks ourselves and ran to training in the morning))) at that time, my husband and I were playing volleyball on the beach. Beauty!
The hotel is great :
From + : alcohol (+++++++)
food (fed for slaughter, beef, chicken, lamb in different variations , there is no point even writing about vegetables and fruits here... desserts are all delicious (surprisingly)
The amusement park is great (the child was delighted)
The pools are heated
Special thanks to the animator girls for children.... they give their best for all 300%
Service on a solid 4 (some run up and ask what else every 5 minutes, and some have to be caught, but everyone will bring everything anyway, well done ...)
And NOW ABOUT ---:
The main one is a water park, the water in the lazy river is warm, and then it's icy.... as in the hole.... the staff at the water park is too strict (for the first time in the children's town, a child of 6 years old was not allowed.. it was nonsense)
- the sea, even if it is shallow, but the stones could be pulled out)
IN GENERAL, THERE ARE A LOT OF ADVANTAGES AND F..G WITH THIS WATER PARK WE WILL RETURN THERE AGAIN
Family vacation. The quality of service has increased, everything is promptly cleaned, brought, served. They are constantly doing something on the territory. You get aesthetic pleasure. The hotel itself is fresh. Separately, this year I would like to highlight animation, both for children and adults. Constant traffic, events, evening discos. Despite the music on the main bar, you can't hear anything in the rooms. The hotel is completely full, there were no problems with places in the restaurant, bar, by the pool. Due to the availability of the aqua park and attractions, everything is evenly distributed. The chef is trying, trying to diversify the menu. There is an open barbecue on the street. When you are here, immediately think about where to sign up. From the discomfort: the shallow sea, not really swimming, compensates for the presence of a huge pool with sea water, the wind sometimes invigorates it. Among the wishes: change the approach to the toaster. It turns out that there are 3 streams of people intersecting in a closed corner 1. For butter; 2 to cut toast; turn to the toast itself.
Comfort, coziness and attention of the staff are at their best! You really relax in this place! Delicious food, a variety of entertainment for adults and children, cozy evenings on the terrace. Great vacation, I recommend it!
We had a good rest with the children. I liked the attractions and the opportunity to visit every day for free.
The water park is also great, but in the children's areas the water was icy, the kids were freezing.
The food was mostly delicious, and we didn't stay hungry.
The only bottom in the pool was broken and it was possible to get hurt.
We stayed at the Rixos Water World Aktau Hotel from July 7 to July 21, 2024 in room 5202. The view from our room was gorgeous. The three of us traveled: me, my wife and our daughter for 1 year and 8 months. We liked everything very much.
The kitchen at the hotel is simply magnificent, the buffet offers a variety of dishes for every taste, but I would like more variety for the youngest. The amusement park is just super, and the water park with many interesting slides is suitable for both adults and the youngest, which was especially important for us.
Any questions that arose were resolved very quickly and efficiently through the reception or room service.
The hotel's restaurants also left great impressions. We visited both restaurants, as we were given a voucher for every 7 days of our stay.
I would especially like to mention the work of the animators in the Rixy Club. Wonderful girls who do not just work, but really devote themselves to their work with all their heart. It was interesting and fun for the children with them.
Interesting shows were held every day. Of course, when you stay for more than a week, the programs begin to repeat, but they are executed at a very high level!
I would also like to mention the work of the bar. Always high-quality cocktails!
In general, many thanks to Kazakhstan and all the staff of the hotel for such a wonderful holiday! It really helped us out, because we were going to Turkey, but found an error in my wife's passport.
We recommend everyone to visit this hotel. 10 days here will be a great choice!
