We spent 10 days in September and were very satisfied: excellent location, green area, beautiful sandy beach, delicious and varied food, daily evening shows, friendly staff. Of the disadvantages, it can be noted, except that the slightly tired room stock in the main building, but everything is clean, tidy and working. I can safely recommend it as a great place for a relaxing holiday!
We had a rest with my wife and two children of 3.5 and 5.5 years from 09/21/2024-10/5/2024 in a two-room family room. The windows of the room overlooked the main alley and the Pool Bar (more on that later).
In general, I liked everything. Would I come back here again? Most likely yes))
Before that, we rested at Club Marco Polo, Nirvana Dolce Vita, Queen's park
The hotel itself is suitable for families with children, for those who are fond of tennis or golf, for those who do not want to leave the hotel grounds. And she's beautiful! There are a lot of greenery, trees, pines, etc. There are even sun beds on the grass under the pines. The smell there is indescribable!!
But keep in mind that there is nothing outside the hotel within walking distance, except golf courses. We have to go.
Advantages of the hotel:
1. If you are traveling with children from 4 years old, then the kids club is what you should choose this hotel for! My two boys asked me to take them to the kids' club as soon as possible every day. In the afternoon, various master classes are held every day: they make soap, candles, clay bowls and many other exciting things. Various sports tournaments are held among those children who came to the children's club, and in the evening after the mini disco they are awarded commemorative diplomas and medals for 1st place)) The animation team is just super!! Many thanks to Dasha, Dasha (they are in the photo), Katya and other girls! The children were passionate and interested, and the animators are drawn to the children and do not leave them without attention!! This is the best kids club team I've ever met! I definitely recommend it! 5++
2. And again I want to mention the children's club) in the evening, children's shows and mini discos are held. I would like to focus specifically on the show. They are amazing! Different guest artists came every day. They made cotton candy, balloon figures, performed magic tricks, and all that kind of stuff, played, danced. It was interesting not only for children, but also for adults!
3. A huge selection of delicious food. The chefs are great! During the whole vacation there were only 1-2 dishes that I didn't really like, but these are my personal troubles)) everything else that I tried was cooked very tasty! No one will be left hungry!
4. I liked that the main restaurant on the street has zones for smokers and non-smokers. I would like more tables for non-smokers))
5. We had a good maid, the cleaning was of high quality. When the mosquitoes appeared, she gave us a mosquito repellent at our request. Thank you very much!
6. Imported alcohol in all bars except two: in the main restaurant and the bar near the Olympic pool. The choice is good enough, everyone will find what they like and like) in other hotels where I have been, the choice of imported alcohol was greater, but I repeat: the choice is good and quite sufficient.
7. Evening shows are mostly normal) you can pass the evening. Beautiful singing fountains.
8. There was animation) my wife did aquajumping every day) she liked it)
Minuses:
1. Insufficient number of outlets in the room. Take a tee or a splitter with you. We had only 4 sockets in our two-room room, two of them in the room (one slightly away from the bed, one near the table), one in the hallway near the floor (probably for a vacuum cleaner), one in the bathroom (for the first time in my life I used this outlet to charge gadgets). The location of the sockets is, of course, strange)) There was not a single outlet in the second room!
I understand that it is impossible to add sockets now and the room stock is a little outdated, and it's time to renovate, within which they will probably add sockets. But it's strange that initially they were provided for so little) and yes, the rooms are already old, something is broken and can only be fixed by repairing the entire room. But this does not interfere with rest. The main thing is that the rooms are clean, the bed linen is good, the mattresses are comfortable.
2. Water park. One of the employees closed the water park 5-10 minutes earlier. He was indignant at my remarks in Turkish and then just left. The second one closed on time, for which I thank him. Near the water park, screws are sharpened from wooden flooring, but at least you walk in shoes there, but near the pool you walk barefoot, but the tiles near the pool are broken with sharp fragments. He covered the broken tile with his flip-flops so that the children would not step on it and cut their feet.
3. High chairs in the restaurant. In September, a children's kit was placed on each high chair: a disposable bib, a wet napkin, a dry napkin. Since October 1, the kits have disappeared, have they started saving? It's a small thing, but it's weird. I had to ask the waiters to bring a bib and wet wipes, and they drove back and forth 3 times a day) Once the waiter brought an ordinary bib from somewhere)) I don't know where he got it, but thanks for your efforts) I fulfilled the request))
4. Very expensive shops on site. I was forced to buy swimming trunks for a child, which cost $ 20. The price is huge, the quality is terrible. By the end of the rest, they looked very worn out. They threw it away.
5. The windows of the room overlooked the Pool Bar. Even with the door to the balcony completely closed, live music from the pool bar was very clearly audible in the room. This usually lasts until 23:00. Whether you like it or not, listen)) Also one evening, our compatriots in large numbers continued their party with speakers in the pool bar. It ended around one o'clock in the morning. I called the reception, asked to take action, because we can't sleep – there was no result.
6. Staff. Not a minus, but rather an observation. This is most likely a purely human and personal factor. Someone is very friendly, responsive, open, trying to help with any question, and some employees seem not to notice either you or your requests. Because of such little things, I don't want to waste my nerves, so we relax and don't worry about it)
Once again, we liked everything in general. Good price-quality ratio. You can always find something to complain about, but the pros outweigh all the cons. If the budget allows, I recommend considering the Nirvana Dolce Vita hotel. The team of children's animators is worse there, but in all other respects it surpasses Sirene. But this year it was significantly more expensive.
