I recommend the hotel. a good five (we lived from 9.12.24 to 19.12.24 : the weather was +27 degrees, the sea +24 - it was comfortable to swim, there was wind for several days, but overall the weather was excellent).
The main feature of the hotel is that there are no crowds of people -it is comfortable, spacious everywhere-rest in its full sense. A place to return to with pleasure.
Upon check-in (at 4 a.m.), they greeted us with smiles, put on Hawaiian wreaths, and gave the children swimming goggles. The suitcases were taken up to the room.
The room is large, spacious, the interior is restrained (it must be understood that the interior is not modern, because the hotel is not new, but everything is in excellent condition and works without problems), bathrobes for adults, flip-flops (flip-flops) as a gift to everyone). Mini-bar refillable (7ap, Pepsi, Fanta, juice, water). Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, tooth.paste with brushes, washing powder. The air conditioner works perfectly - it regulates the temperature itself. Large balcony . We had a good view of the garden.
Daily room cleaning - no questions raised
Wi-Fi : works throughout the hotel and on the beach - no problem.
The staff are incredibly wonderful people - everyone is friendly, they open the doors -they smile, say hello, they are interested in how things are, everyone is neat and positive. Basically everyone understands Russian / or uses a translator on their phone)
The beach is gorgeous : aesthetically beautiful, perfectly clean, wide, excellent sun beds at great distances from each other, fine light sand, natural woven umbrellas. It's fun to look at the beach and be on it.
The entrance to the sea is good - clean sand without stones. Not deep for long (+depends on tides) . At low tide, it is only not visible on this beach-it remains outwardly attractive.
Pontoon : normal, there are always hotel staff on it
Reef: beautiful, lively, quite a variety of fish. Get masks (or you can buy them on the hotel's boardwalk)
The pool was heated to +28/29 in December for about the first few days of the vacation - the rest of the time it was cold and no one swam in it (like the heating was broken and repaired)- it was the only negative thing from the hotel.
The territory of the hotel is well maintained, clean, lots of plants and palm trees in excellent condition. The interior of the hotel is perfectly clean in all areas (including toilets)
There is a boardwalk between the hotel and the beach (you can walk far enough in both directions)
There is a shopping street between baron resort and baron palms
Food: the main senai restaurant is a real restaurant, I would like to sincerely thank the chefs-they cook beautifully -not for the volume, but for the taste and quality : beef, chicken, fish -some of them are cooked in your presence, interesting appetizers, desserts, pastas are cooked in your presence, bakery products are very tasty. They really work for results, not for show, and the choice is excellent and thoughtful - there are dishes for every taste. The interior, cleanliness and staff of the restaurant are 5%.
You can have lunch by the pool for a variety - according to the menu with a beautiful restaurant presentation and waiter service -seafood and beef in salads and main dishes, pizzas, desserts.
Alakart restaurants (BBQ, Egyptian, Indian, fish, Italian) : recommendation Egyptian -a delightful approach to serving and taste, service, attention of the staff with a soul 🤍(the man in charge especially), gala dinner at seafood recommendation. Italian is fine, but without the wow effect -everything is the same, mostly it seemed to us.
The animation is not intrusive. Very good positive and easy guys are animators. A cool hotel dance is danced three times a day.Morning programs on the beach: stretching, darts, children's (pizza was made, Disney with life-size dolls), foam party - every day in different ways, during the day aqua aerobics, bocce, volleyball, football. Children's club - my daughter was 6 years old and went with pleasure . In the evening, the mini disco is nice and the evening program is there (not wow, but there is-a couple of interesting evenings)
According to the premium all inclusive system, they give a book with vouchers - they used the laundry service -they took the voucher package after the reception call -they brought everything clean in the evening, also a 30-minute massage (Sharashkin's office looks like it's near the hotel -we didn't go), you can get a haircut (a good hairdresser is a guy -we used it), a training immersion option, 1 time lawn tennis
