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 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.

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 😻

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!!!

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.

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!

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)

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 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.

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!!!

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 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.

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

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.

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.

We rested here with the children in late May and early June. The territory is huge, there are many places where you can go with children : a water park, attractions, a swimming pool, a spa area, a walk along the embankment (all this can already be seen on YouTube)..The food is excellent. All drinks are brought by the waiters, if you ask. The staff is very friendly and always tries to help.The rooms are bigger, spacious and new. There were two full-fledged cots for children. Drinks are all there, alcohol is expensive, cocktails almost do everything.
Of the minuses, what I didn't like: half of the water park didn't work, as well as the attractions. Long service at the bars, you have to stand in queues. And the rest is monotonous, every day is similar to the previous one)) I get tired of such a rest quickly, on the fifth day I had enough). In general, well done! Thanks for the rest.

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!

An ideal place for a family vacation. Both adults and children liked the kids' club and the animation programs. The children generally disappeared all day at football practice. Twice a day, professional trainers organized classroom classes for children of different levels of training. We were also very lucky, because Vladimir Bystrov was at the hotel, he also played football with the children. The children were absolutely delighted to play with such a star!
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, soft beds and lots of pillows of different sizes for every taste. The staff is attentive to the guests. The food really could have been more varied ... but our vacation did not suffer from this!)))

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.

This is a good hotel, but not 5 stars, the rooms are beautiful, cozy, but the carpet has not been cleaned under the bed for a long time. The bar is replenished every day for free. I liked the food very much, but the waiters who serve in the restaurant are very slow, although all are young and friendly, sometimes there were no clean tables, although there were a lot of empty ones, I had to come up and ask them to clean the table. I liked the water park and the Luna Park, they threw money on the bracelet at the bar in the Water Park and there was not much left, they said that everything should be returned, but they said at the reception that they would not return it, only in the place where they threw it. They don't swim in the sea there, it's shallow and cold. There are no water activities. In general, there were positive emotions. And one more moment when we entered the room, there was a welcome set of fruits and a bottle of wine on the table, but after 5 minutes it was taken away)))) but I managed to take a picture of him. We didn't have time to go to the a la carte restaurant (a privilege for those who rest for 7 days or more).

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

A great alternative to Turkey. The hotel corresponds to the brand. The territory, food/bars, rooms and service are at the highest level. Especially considering the very affordable price. A couple of nuances about the location: 1. The sea is not kupable (it is completely covered by pools). 2. It is windy, and the calm changes very quickly to the wind. 3. The short season is actually from June to September. If it doesn't scare you, I recommend 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

Staying at this 5-star hotel was simply amazing! Starting with the elegant design of the rooms and ending with good service, the design of the hotel is also at the level of the Rixos network, every detail has been thought out to the smallest detail. The staff tried to be
attentive to our requests, but the food in the restaurant could have been more varied, after all, it's 5 stars, not three. The SPA center was very pleasant for my husband and me, while the child was raging in the children's club - we could enjoy a rest in the thermal zones. My son also found classes at the football school at the hotel. It's free, although the coaches are professionals and smart, the boys were happy to play football every day. Thanks a lot to coach Oleg, Konstantin and Vladimir! And the pool
with a stunning view of the Caspian Sea has become a place of true relaxation, especially in the evening sunset hours. I also advise you to ride the Ferris wheel at sunset. It's incredibly beautiful. Thanks to the hotel for the hospitality!

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!

Very nice hotel! It is 100% suitable for holidays with children. A chic amusement park for children with water slides and carousels. Heated swimming pool with sea water. The sea is cool and shallow, but for us it was not a minus. A kitchen with national dishes, everyone will find what they like. The rooms are spacious, cleaning is done every day.

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.

A good hotel, I liked everything, except for one unacceptable disadvantage. The main advantage is the relaxation pool 16 plus in age, you can lie down in a calm environment. Good spa, good food, although the timing of dinner is not particularly clear to me, finishing dinner at 21:00 is not right in my opinion. There are many advantages, they are all described in any guide to this hotel, I will not list them, I'd rather write about the main disadvantage, because of which I categorically do not recommend visiting this hotel- instead of the declared alcohol, they pour a fig knows what, or the position that is stated, but diluted with water. On the lobby bar, this can somehow be solved by arranging a showdown, but on the beach they pour some kind of brew bottled with elite alcohol, in all bottles with dispensers such as absolute, Jack Daniels, or chivas, this very plastic dispenser is torn out with pliers, so that it would be convenient to pour anything there except what is stated. Cocktails are generally water, 5 degrees. For the first time in my life I come across this, in the beginning I thought it was bartenders, but then it became clear that this was the position of managers. We weren't the only ones who noticed this, I heard a lot of fights at the bar about alcoholic beverages. If you do not pull the declared alcoholic beverages, please remove the fifth star from the rating and change the alcohol, but it is not allowed to dilute it. And so in general, except for this nuance, there are no questions to the hotel, everything is fresh, the staff is polite, there is an aquapark and a lunapark. For people who don't drink on vacation at all, it's a great option. The alcohol situation is relevant at the end of May 2024.

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.

I liked the hotel , it was clean and fresh . The staff is polite and helpful. Cool infinity pool. A huge amusement park will not leave anyone indifferent. I took off the star for the food , well , very monotonous . There are themed dinners, we got to a barbecue evening, Turkish cuisine and Italian.
Another minus is the sea . There are snakes swimming there .

A very decent hotel. Taking into account the sharply increased price to Turkey, we found a suitable option and did not lose. The hotel is very clean, the way the workers try and clean everything is impressive, not every rixos is as clean as here. Wonderful warm pools, the Infinity pool is just amazing - we didn't want to climb out. The sea is quite decent, clean, the bottom is transparent-sand, small shells. A little silt. It is very warm (many people write that it is cold, maybe we are lucky or who write that it is cold, they do not climb out of the Maldives :)), but small, although it is a plus for us with children on the contrary. Beautiful sunsets. The weather at the end of June is beautiful, it's hot in the afternoon, but it's not criminal and comfortable, there's a breeze in the evenings, you need a jumper. It gets dark late, sunset at 21.00 and this is a rarity for resorts. A wonderful water park for all ages and an amusement park. The spa is normal, everything is there, a good masseuse Olga, strong hands-who needs not just stroking, but a good massage, sign up for her. The food in the restaurant is without frills, a lot of chicken, few meat dishes, but there are themed evenings (we tried camel milk for the first time at the evening of Kazakh cuisine). There are also alyakart restaurants, there were in the meat. The atmosphere was pleasant, there was live music, we admired the sunset on the veranda. The hotel has good bars and a good selection of imported alcoholic beverages (12 year old whiskey, aperol...), various shows and parties in the evenings, I liked the beach party. A great rixy club, a lot of activities for children - we didn't have time to get to everything. There are many different sports activities. I also want to mention the manager of guest relay-Nursaul. Remotely helped to solve all issues. We will be happy to come back again.

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

Great hotel. With wonderful and helpful staff. Varied and delicious food. The kids' club is good. The attractions and the water park are a wonderful bonus. Yes, the sea is not very good, but everything is compensated by a gorgeous large swimming pool with sea water, which is heated!!
