I will begin my story in order. I say right away, it will be long. We arrived at the hotel from 05/26/2024 to 06/3/2024 in room 233.
We arrived at the hotel at 9 a.m., two adults and a child of 8 years old. At the reception we were told that there are no available rooms, of course, because check-in takes place at 15.00. We decided to go to the beach. This is not the first time in this hotel, so we prepared before departure, put beach things closer. There was no limit to happiness when after 20 minutes they came up to us and offered to check in, for this the fattest "+" to this hotel, but ... there is always but, we had 3 meals a day paid, the guy from the reception said that today we are supposed to, REMEMBER!, either lunch or dinner. This alerted us, we came up to clarify once again, said that we had breakfast-lunch-dinner meals, to which he once again said that we were supposed to have either lunch or dinner on the day of arrival!We were checked in early, it was time to go to the store (it's across the street, 3 min walk, near a pharmacy) and buy something for lunch, since we decided to go to a restaurant for dinner).
The room stock, basically, is not new rooms, slightly tired, if we talk about the room, it is quite on its 4 pulls, but the bathroom urgently needs repair. There are a lot of black spots on the seams between the tiles and on the sealant. After taking a shower, I went out into a huge puddle on the floor... I found a hole in the sealant between the bathroom itself and the glass partition, into which all the water from the watering can flowed down the bathtub to the floor, besides the watering can itself was leaking. BUT, and this is again a "+", after contacting the reception, the shower head was replaced within an hour.
Now let's move on to equipping the room, we had a reservation for 2 adults and a child of 8 years old. If only for one extra bed for a child, I would go to this hotel. A normal full-fledged bed for an adult. There were all the accessories for 2 people, and there were no slippers at all, but we quickly ordered 3 pairs of slippers, 1 more set of towels and 1 more tea pair for the child through the application. Depending on the shift, we were replenished with a tea table for 2 or 3 people, mostly for 2, although it was clear that 3 people lived. Water is replenished every day (1 bottle of 0.5 liters per person per day). In conditions of heat +35, this is catastrophically small, but the benefit is a supermarket nearby and the price of water for 1.5 liters is 2.5 dirhams.
Cleaning is done every day, towels are changed every day. But one small nuance, the floor on the huge balcony is not washed at all, and therefore, when you return to the room after the balcony, it becomes dirty. The floors in the room are washed every day, I almost always watched the cleaning in my room, it just so happened🤷🏼♀️
Basically, on the first day we eliminated all the shortcomings of the room and then had a quiet rest. Because we came to rest, and not, like some, to be constantly dissatisfied with even the smallest detail.
Sun beds on the beach (I'm talking about those under a fairly large wooden canopy, let's say the most "top" places) as in a good Turkish hotel, they are already busy at 6.30, but we almost always arrived at 8 and could take sun beds under small umbrellas. I don't know if it's true or not, but the guests say that for a certain fee to the beach staff, they can be asked to take the "top" places🤔 It's a pure lie (I read somewhere that they clean) that employees clean towels if they see that guests are gone for a long time, no one is watching this. There were a couple of days when we spent the whole day on the beach, and those very towels on the "top" places lay all day, but no one came, they are called neither themselves nor people, in a word pigs🤷🏼♀️ This is a fat minus, rather than for the hotel, but for the low education of vacationers (they are not cunning, but just wild).
The territory of the hotel is small, clean, 1 large and 1 children's pools, as well as a Jacuzzi. There is a slide. Russians are more at sea, foreigners are by the pool.
70-75 percent of the vacationers are Russian. The staff speaks Russian well enough (given that they are not native speakers).
For the management who reads the reviews, just a huge thank you and a low bow to the young man from the reception, whose name is Samith, when I saw him at the workplace, I knew for sure that either I would have no problems at all that day, or if they appeared, he would solve them all. He is as loyal to customers as possible, he will always find a way out of the situation, he will always help. If possible, give him a bonus!
Information for Russian tourists, look for the name Samith on the badge, it will solve all your problems!
The restaurant is always greeted with a smile. The dishes are maximally adapted to Russians, there are always 3-4 types of meat and fish, 7-8 varieties of desserts, steamed dishes in the middle of the hall behind the aquarium. The most important thing is that there is always something to feed any child. In the morning, there is always tea/coffee, juices and always freshly squeezed orange juice. For lunch and dinner, all drinks are paid, an average of 20 dirhams per glass.
If you've noticed, there's always a BUT…
Dinner until 22.00, that's what I mean, there are wild traffic jams from Dubai to Sharjah, from 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
We went on excursions and once we didn't get to dinner at all, we arrived at 22.35, the second time we flew in with a bullet at 21.57 (the main thing is to run before 22, then dinner will be), and the third time, by the way, we arrived by hotel shuttle from Dubai Mall, we ran at 21.40.
Dear management, there are many of us, make dinner before 23.00, or at least until 22.30
The hotel has a souvenir shop on the 1st floor, I must say the prices were pleasantly surprised, quite adequate👍🏻
If you read the review carefully at the beginning, then I specifically focused on nutrition on the first day, we were allowed to eat only 1 time. The day before departure, I decided to clarify, on the day of departure, we are supposed to have breakfast and lunch, because on the first day we ate 1 meal, and we have 3 meals a day. In general, it turned out that on the day of arrival we were supposed to have lunch and dinner, and on the day of departure only breakfast. If we had gone to a restaurant twice on the first day, I wouldn't even have any unnecessary questions, on the day of departure I would have claimed only breakfast, I can count. On the first day, we were oriented incorrectly, and a young man named Samith had to sort out the problem again, at his own risk! For which I am very grateful to him, it's just a lifeline of this hotel, he wrote us a card for lunch. I didn't need anything extra, I wanted to get what I paid for.
To sum up: a hotel for a relaxing beach holiday, more family friendly. In general, the impression of rest in this department remained good) Thank you to all the staff for your work!

A decent four ! Thanks to the chef for the excellent, high-quality and most importantly delicious food. We were unlucky with the weather - for 8 days we have never been able to swim - waves and cold water. We were surprised that at the end of March - the beginning of April and such cold water. It is a pity that the pool was not heated. Wi-Fi is good throughout and on the beach.
One of the disadvantages for me is a very soft mattress, but this is individual.

The hotel is good, the food is delicious, although not to say that it is very diverse. The sea view is stunning, the area is well maintained.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
I didn't like that on the 5th floor there was a leak from the ceiling in the corridor (there were buckets). Drops of falling water could be heard in the room.

A great hotel for a quiet, relaxing holiday. A large beach compared to neighboring hotels, a lot of sunbeds. Good, varied food. everything is delicious. Friendly service staff. I would especially like to mention the managers at the reception Anastasia and Arina, as well as the room cleaner Sokhel. Every day there is a thorough cleaning of the room and free drinking water. Thanks to the hotel for a wonderful stay!!!

I have a very very mixed impression of the hotel. May 2024.
The hotel is an ordinary 4-star, without frills and pretensions. I knew where I was going. I was there for 3 days, I took breakfast. For breakfast - omelets, ordinary fruits, not exotic, sausages, beef meat, yoghurts, some kind of pastries are not wow, everything is without complaints. But you won't stay hungry, I was OK. The staff at the restaurant is friendly and clears the plates quickly.
There are nice people at the reception, there is a Russian-speaking girl. The man at the check-in upgraded my room category to cabana, for free, it is immediately with access to the pool and the sea. Thanks a lot to him for that! The room completely satisfied me. Quiet, you fall asleep to the sound of the waves. The friendly man at the towel counter, thanks to him for his work.
There are questions for the beach staff. We recruited people who clearly don't like their work and the hotel guests. The guy in charge of security at Kaif beach does not approach people normally to explain that it is impossible to go into the water because of the waves, but whistles hysterically with a whistle from afar. Moreover, even when people are standing ankle-deep and the waves even at the same time reach up to the knee. No one rushed to swim in front of me, that is, he whistles preemptively. And from the brazen smile, it is clear that this is how he feels the power, that he is chasing people who paid for this vacation. Moreover, she is afraid to drive men, and they can knock on the head, whistling mainly at women, the elderly and children. I was standing by the shore, he whistled at me and ran up, but nothing to a healthy man who was standing 5 meters further into the depth. Because of him, I think a lot of people won't want to return to this hotel. People were very indignant about him on the beach, which he got and was rude. Even if you don't swim, listening to the whistle all day like at a football match, like this Kaif chasing people, is not much fun. People came to rest in silence.
Also, in the morning you will not find beach workers who will help with an umbrella, despite the fact that the umbrella is fixed with pins that only they have. One day I was looking for at least 15 minutes for someone.
By the way, the hotel is being renovated, but on the 2nd floor drilling was heard only during the day from somewhere above. Since I was hardly in the room during the day, it didn't bother me at all. But perhaps in other parts of the hotel you can hear the repair work more strongly and it may be noisy there (check with the hotel).
Another good thing: the compliment of 4 macaroons on a plate was brought to the room in the evening. It's a small thing, but it was nice.
Water with lemon is in the lobby at the reception.
The beach towels are clean and new, with a logo. The sun beds are comfortable.
The contingent consists of families with children and the elderly. There are no young people at all. The beach is nice, but open, without a bay, we must be prepared for the fact that there may be wind and you are not buying.
There is no territory at all to walk around.

Wonderful beach hotel in the Emirate of Sharjah. Conveniently located right on the first coastline, excellent service, good breakfasts. A well-organized beach holiday - a lot of high-quality sunbeds, umbrellas from the sun, thorough cleaning of the beach. An excellent heated pool and Jacuzzi are convenient in the cold season, there is a large water slide for children. From the hotel there are free transfers to several shopping malls in Sharjah, as well as to the Dubai Mall. Recording via the hotel app. There is an Oceanarium and several quite decent restaurants within walking distance. To the fish market 30 minutes on foot or 20 dirhams by taxi. In general, I liked everything. The only real drawback of the hotel is the presence of a cargo port and an oil complex 2 km away from it. But the water was clean, there were no smells. In terms of price-quality ratio, undoubtedly one of the best beach hotels in Sharjah. Lifehack - if you don't want noise, then be sure to take a room with a sea view - it's beautiful!

We went to this hotel in early August 2024. Yes, many people said it would be very, very hot. And there was a constant feeling of a steam room in the bathhouse. Because of the heat, the hotel made access to the beach from 6.30 am, and we walked like that. But the Persian Gulf did not cool down either in the morning or in the evening))) more than 30 degrees. We arrived at the hotel to check in, we were given a room on the 3rd floor, there is no repair, everything is very, very old, especially the bathroom. We went to the reception to ask for a change, but the hotel was fully occupied and there were no available rooms. Anastasia's manager suggested contacting us the next day, for which I thank her very much. As a result, we moved into the 5th floor, the room is much fresher and cleaner, a bathroom with a new modern renovation, two sinks, a shower. The only thing is very bad water pressure, at least for me. The balcony door was also poorly closed in the room, and since we sleep without air conditioning at night, the hot air blew so well that by morning the floor was just wet, well, it became very humid and hot in the room. We liked everything about the food, in the morning they make scrambled eggs and omelets with you, there are also potatoes, sausages, shakshuka, vegetables, fruits, porridge with milk, buckwheat as a side dish. Dinners every day are themed, national, beef and chicken were for every dinner and lunch. There are all drinks in the morning, and for lunch and dinner for an additional fee, if you do not have everything included. But we calmly brought water from the room for dinner. There are not many sweets, but they are all very tasty. The children were hanging out at the chocolate fountain. The hotel has transfers to two shopping centers in Sharjah - this is the City and the Sahara, there is also a Dubai Mall, but we did not manage to make an appointment, booking for three days in advance))) recording is done independently in the Barcelo application. As a result, a good hotel on the first coast, with its own beach, pool and sun beds, with good food. The numbers are really a lottery, after all, the price is the same, but the conditions are completely different. In any case, everything is solved, there are Russian-speaking managers, they respond to all requests and try to help. Thanks for the rest!

A gorgeous place, our family is delighted: the price-quality ratio is perfect! A gently sloping clean beach, on both sides of the beach-a great view, sun beds were always available. Special thanks to the Russian girls at the reception: Anastasia is just gold 🤍 Helped and solved all our requests 🤍 Convenient location: near the aquarium, green area (especially for Sharjah), very cozy hotel with friendly staff🤍🤍🤍

We were at this hotel in June 2022..the hotel impressed us.. The food is on top, especially really liked for dinner.. The only drawback for dinner was that you couldn't drink tea or coffee for free.. The restaurant is always clean, the waiters work well together. The beach is excellent, clean, well maintained,. The sea is a fairy tale! Warm water, fine sand. Super! The pool is not big, but there was enough space for everyone, no one crowded. it was a good entertainment slide, we rode in the water. The room was on the 4th floor 425 city view.in the morning, coffee on the Balcony is cool.. During the day, we dried the linen, in the evening we enjoyed the beauty of the city, bed linen was changed often, towels should be thrown on the floor to be changed. Tea, coffee, and water were replenished every day, even with excess.. But the cleaning is lame.. The balcony was never cleaned, the floor was sticky, they walked in slippers.. Construction is underway this year, I hope next year we will visit this hotel.

A wonderful hotel. I would like to come to it as soon as possible. Service and maintenance of the fire. Amazing breakfasts. I've already recommended it to all my friends. There is a restaurant nearby at the Lou lou hotel, there are very large and delicious dishes, the prices are reasonable. There is nowhere to walk nearby, but there is excellent parking, you can rent a car and drive wherever you want. To Burj Khalifa 25min, to the garden of wonders 40min. I recommend it!

A decent hotel, if you don't find fault, it's old, but it's being renovated.
The most important plus is excellent nutrition, which is almost non-recurring for several days.
The beach with sand is great, and the kids are generally great. Towels and deck chairs are also great. But on the one hand, there is an industrial zone nearby, an unsympathetic sight.
There is almost nothing nearby, you need to go mostly.
It took about two or three hours to get to Dubai Marina by taxi plus metro

Gorgeous bay, sand. And everything. I have never seen such rolled metal furniture in the rooms. The plumbing is so dead, it's terrible. Renovation is only on the 5th floor. It's okay to eat, but nothing more, watermelons and melons save you. Even with full board on the day of arrival, you will have to pay for breakfast and not a little, because the buffet will no longer be served with lunch at departure. At 9 pm, if God forbid, you stayed in a hotel that has no territory and animation, you can die of boredom, just for real))) and for all this, the price is decent

Just returned from vacation, rested at this hotel🥰 I will note the comfort, everything you need, at the hotel! The rooms are new, the ocean view is even from the bed! In the room there are slippers, bathrobes, all bath accessories, a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar. The balcony has 2 wicker chairs and a table. TV has already 7 Russian programs. The bed is comfortable, just huge!
Next, the foyer, it's just a buzz. At the entrance, the decor is made of fresh flowers in vases, they were changed every 4 days! Restaurant, pool and sea view, if you're lucky to sit by the window. A large aquarium serves as a partition. Space food, everything and for everyone and even baby food. Very tasty food!
There is a gym. Towels are given to the beach, passage through the pool and you are at the sea.
At 8.00 in the morning from the balcony it was already possible to observe such a picture, how were the towels on all the sun beds?!!!!! That's trash. And when you go out by 10.00 voila, there is no free sunbed. We took it to the pool and brought it to the sea, something like that.
There is a beach volleyball, a separate area next to the sea, lifting the ball a couple of times, I drove a booty😅
And if you are lovers of walking, excursions, then you can take a taxi or if you have friends, you can ride with them. I have a friend there, she drove us everywhere. We even went to Global Village, it's cool there.
If you are going somewhere, so as not to stand in wild traffic jams, you can go at 12.30-13.00 and back after 21.00, then the road will be comfortable. The prices in Dubai Mall are wild, you can go to the Outlet.
Drunkard is prohibited there, so if you want to drink on the balcony with a view of the sea, it's better to buy it on departure.

An excellent inexpensive hotel on the 1st coastline. We were in November 2023, most of the guests are our compatriots. We had a room on the 1st floor and we went to the beach through the balcony, very convenient. The neighboring hotels are completely empty, which is why it is unclear. There were enough sun beds, but many of them are occupied and do not come. You need to sign up for a transfer to the Dubai Mall a few days in advance, there is only one bus, this is the main disadvantage. The food is simple, but generally delicious. You can walk to the aquarium and Sharjah

We are leaving the hotel today, our vacation is over. We stayed at this hotel for the first time with a family of 3 people . First of all, about the advantages - the staff is responsive , friendly , the food is good , varied , especially desserts . The territory is small , but well maintained . The beach is clean. Cons of the hotel - we lived in room 453 , tulle would do well to wash , dirty . Plaster is constantly falling off the walls on the balcony , the entire floor is covered with it. The balcony needs major repairs . In the room, the refrigerator is squeezed into a bedside table of an incomprehensible design and by age , it is the same age as the UAE itself . The staff cleans the room, tries , but this does not save the hotel from dilapidation and the impending overhaul. I really want the owner of this hotel to listen to this request.

A great hotel for families with children. We took everything included. We haven't tried it, everything is delicious. Fresh, but for men, the meat assortment is a bit boring. Service: friendly staff
Beach : at the highest level, there are enough sun beds for everyone, it is always clean.
Rooms: cozy, but there is a minus, until you remind me many times about the detergents they will not bring. Cleaned every day
A big minus is that everything closes at 19:00 and there is no entertainment, the beach and the pool are closed. And so I really liked everything. It's a great place with kids.

The hotel is located in a very good location. This is the first line with a gentle entrance to the sea. The purest water
Of the advantages, I will also note good rooms, large enough with comfortable beds, a view from the balcony of the pool, the sea and absolutely unforgettable beautiful sunsets! The sunsets from the rooms of this hotel are so beautiful that I was asked to be allowed to take them from my insta and place them everywhere)))
I will also note the excellent cuisine in the hotel. I don't know if the hotel is all inclusive or not, but breakfast and lunch in the main restaurant deserve praise: a lot, delicious, varied. Drinks are also very well prepared.
Russian Russian is spoken or understood by the staff for the most part (the hotel is completely "captured" by our compatriots, mostly families with children, so keep in mind - it's noisy, beautiful, crowded and always fun there). The staff is also attentive and hospitable.
Separately, it is worth noting the manager Kristina, who is constantly working to ensure that everyone is satisfied and get the most out of the rest. I also want to express my gratitude for the attention and gifts for our honeymoon from the hotel.
I took off one star, but there was something for it. There are also disadvantages in this hotel that you need to know about:
- a lot of things in the hotel are already worn out and require renovation
- the hotel is located in a zone far from everything. that is, there is simply nowhere to get out of the hotel and just walk, The nearest interesting places are at least 6 km away. Go only by taxi, buses do not go there
- there is a frozen construction site nearby, it does not interfere much, but it is there
- the restaurant on the shore is straight for a C... you can't wait to be approached during the day. One waiter in the evening. you need to pay right there, they don't write down the number. Perhaps this is due to the fact that most tourists do not go there, since they have everything included, but I believe that this should not reduce the level of service and operation of the restaurant. We had dinner there 2 times and we liked the quality of the dishes served. But no matter how many times we went there for a smoothie and coffee at lunch, we never managed to drink soft drinks there, because you won't find a waiter

Nice hotel. Clean, pretty. The food is quite satisfactory. The room is cleaned every day, bed linen and towels are changed, the floor is vacuumed and washed, consumables are replenished. Lobby, 4 floors up plus 2 floors down. There is a covered parking. The staff is very friendly, they know some words in Russian and speak a little English. They are very friendly to children. There are always Russian girls at the reception who will help solve any problems and tell you what's what. You can exchange currency here. The rate is slightly lower, but not critical. There is also a souvenir shop, a jewelry store, a store with care products, a children's room, a spa with massage and a gym. The hotel has a swimming pool for adults and one children's pool. Water slide. There is also a tennis court and a volleyball court, a private beach with free sun loungers. Nearby, within walking distance, there are several attractions, supermarkets, restaurants and small shops with all sorts of stuff. Every day a free transfer to Dubai and various shopping centers. In general, everything is quite good for a 4-star hotel.

Excellent hotel, first line. We were there in November 2023. Our room was on the 4th floor, without complaints. We cleaned, bed linen, towels were changed every day. The bar was replenished daily (pepsi, seven up, chips, chocolate, water, tea, cream, sugar, brown sugar, sweetener, juice). The staff is friendly, there is no theft and no tips (they did not compulsively demand). The beach is great, there was enough of everything (sun beds, towels), considering that we were in high season, clean, the Persian Gulf was super, the water was "fresh milk". The pool area is also good, one slide, but we had enough. The Jacuzzi area is right in the open air. Beach bar (drinks, smoothies, fast food ice cream, but very tasty).There are no complaints about nutrition either, the menu is not overblown, but varied. There was everything and vegetables-fruits, pastries, meat, cheeses,
yoghurts, in the evenings (but not every day) there was even a chocolate fondue dish. We rested for 10 days, it feels like " I want to come back again." But you need to know that Sharjah is the most religious Emirate and there is no alcohol anywhere in the Emirate, including in hotels (we had All).But it is a very convenient location from Dubai airport, the transfer to the hotel took us 20 minutes, which is very convenient with a child. We are happy with the hotel and the rest in general!

Cons: bought with a sea view, settled with a pool view, and so could not move higher. Although on the same floor there is access to the pool. When one elevator broke down, I realized that the minus had become a plus.
There are no wardrobes with shelves for clothes in the room, I had to put everything on the floor.
The shower head is too huge and constantly fell under its weight, which caused inconvenience in the shower.

Of the advantages, only the beach, very average food and the territory. The rooms are so tired that it's just not pleasant to be in them. Like a camera. Old-fashioned, out of repair, very gloomy. The Russian-speaking staff is just rude. The child was expected to check in for more than 4 hours. 20 rooms were occupied, and with the baby - the last. Tourists are mostly Russian-speaking, elderly people and families with children. It is very similar to Sochi in the 70s. Such a good chain is just a dead hotel. Longing for a lot of money. And the advertising is done professionally. I do not recommend it.

We had a rest a few years ago with my mother and child. We took a two-room room, in a separate building.
The room is nice, spacious.
The entrance to the sea is flat, the sea is clean. There was enough room for everyone on the beach.
The pool is cool, there is a slide.
The restaurant is not big, the choice is not very big, but everything is delicious. You can buy smoothies and fresh juices for an additional fee. There is no alcohol in the hotel. Not even a corkscrew)) Bought in a store nearby to open wine from dutifrey)
There's nothing to do at the hotel after dinner. The territory is small.
There is a fruit shop next to the hotel.
The hotel is suitable for a relaxing holiday.

Nice hotel. Spacious rooms. We had a room with a sea view. There is a kettle in the room, tea and coffee. Daily 4 bottles of water (0.5 liters each). balcony with armchairs. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly. The food is delicious, but monotonous. There is always a choice. There is a children's menu... the beach is big, there are enough rods. 2 swimming pools - children's and adult, slide, Jacuzzi. Every day there is a free bus to shopping centers. The price is adequate. There are almost no foreigners. The staff speaks Russian. The hotel is not a party - for a relaxing holiday.

The hotel, in general, was chosen by chance. The main task was a beach holiday and the opportunity to get out somewhere, preferably in Dubai. The hotel coped with both tasks. This is a magnificent 4* hotel on the first line, with a beautiful sandy beach and the same entrance to the sea (I don't know if there are others in the UAE ...). Good beach infrastructure: sun beds, umbrellas, towels, swimming pool - included in the price. Fish underfoot, sometimes crabs run out to amuse people, beautiful sunsets.
Half-board was taken for meals. The breakfasts are a bit monotonous but sooo plentiful. Lunch or dinner is very tasty. The choice of dishes is quite large, at least 4 hot dishes, not counting side dishes. Unfortunately, drinks were not included in lunch and dinner, but we had fun on delicious watermelons, and a supermarket is a 2-minute walk away.
The rooms themselves are very spacious, the plumbing is all new, the beds are comfortable, there are a lot of pillows, the air conditioning can be customized. The reception staff is mostly Russian-speaking, opposite is a travel agency where Nargiz will help you choose local tours. From what is nearby: the aquarium and the Museum of the sea. I recommend going both ways, even if you plan to visit the Dubai Mall for the aquarium there. Nearby is the city center with cafes and restaurants, a little further is the golden bazaar, a promenade and a square with fountains. In general, for a study trip and for a somewhat tight budget, the hotel is just the thing. He works out his 4* for all 5.

The hotel is old, but comfortable, everything works in the room. The location is great! The beach, the pool are great. The food is of high quality without frills, but quite diverse and in sufficient quantity. The price/quality combination is good. In any case, here you feel like in a beach hotel, and not like in Dubai on the canals. The disadvantage is the unkemptness around the hotel. I recommend the hotel for a relaxing beach holiday. The staff is trying, friendly, room cleaning is normal, the bed is comfortable.

Rested from 17.04.2023 to 23.04.2023. I really liked it! The sea was warm 27-28 ° C, calm, white sand, clean. The pool is also warm at 29 ° C, we started swimming already before breakfast, both in the sea and in the pool, then a light jog along the sea on the sand barefoot and only then for breakfast after a shower. By the way, a lot of people swam and jogged before breakfast or walked along the beach at a pace (on such dense sand - a pleasure!) The staff is friendly, everything in the restaurant is very tasty and varied, if something ended, new portions were immediately brought. Well, what can I say: from artichokes to a chocolate fountain! Juices are varied at breakfast, including mango, and coffee is varied in the coffee machine. There was really nowhere to walk outside the territory, but we are lovers of swimming, especially in the warm sea (after the cold Urals!), because by the evening our legs were "buzzing" and after dinner we just walked along the sea, or you can also swim in the pool after dinner. I recommend it! Despite the good and delicious cuisine, they returned quite slim and fit.

Excellent hotel, polite and understanding staff, half of them speak Russian. A varied and delicious diet, a fairy tale buffet. The hotel is beautiful and cozy, the rooms are clean, there is air conditioning, cleaning every day, the room has everything you need. A big plus is the sea on the territory of the hotel, leaving it there is a large swimming pool, Jacuzzi, a large number of sun beds and the sea itself.

We had a rest in mid-December. A great hotel with a beautiful beach. The water is clean, sometimes there are waves. In windy weather, especially after 15.00, the pool with warm water helps out. The rooms are spacious. The only drawback is that there are no dryers for swimsuits on the balcony, but this did not become a problem for us, since we always carry a rope and clothespins with us. We helped out a lot this time too. The food is varied and of high quality, there are always fresh juices for breakfast: orange, mango, apple, or multifruit. For lunch and dinner, delicious and varied soups, 2 types of meat, fish, awesome cakes and a chocolate fountain was always put on for dinner. The most important feature of the hotel is its own beach with white sand and azure water. A 10-minute walk from the hotel is a beautiful Aquarium, the ticket price is 25 dioramas (approximately 425 rubles) and the ship museum, which is included in the same price. I recommend the hotel.

The golden mean is the beach hotel and at the same time, you can get to all the interesting places quickly. The level of the hotel is very decent, the service is excellent. Restaurants are a tower, the food quality is super.
