arrived at this hotel from vienna in june 2017. the first impression was very good: drink on the terrace, after 15 minutes there was already a room.
The room was clean, but nothing special, the furnishings were very weak, the balcony door (ground floor) could not always be blocked. We were referred to the room safe for valuables.

The evening buffet is not very varied, but it is quite good. As I said, there are much better hotels that are around half the price.

the hotel's own prices are VERY expensive, a not particularly successful cocktail costs 20 euros in the bar on the roof!

DAY 2
Breakfast - OK. You expect more from a 5-star hotel.
Except for the very friendly staff and the cleanliness, the hotel has nothing special to offer. The facility is made for guests who want to DO NOTHING all day, just lie down and pay for every little thing.
Strowbery-Drakiry costs 13 euros on the beach. In terms of taste, we found the cocktail unsuccessful. After breakfast around 10:00 there are no longer any free loungers (although there is still enough space on the beach to set up), but a pavilion is offered for 68 EUR / day. For this and for the unreasonable prices, I take my rating back from 3 to 2 Google stars.
Apart from childcare, ABSOLUTELY NO activities are offered here. For travelers who want to experience something, it is a wrong destination.
Room is very clean but the equipment on a good 3-star level, not more ....

Day-3
At the pool there was DJ music in the evening. The mood was very good, cocktails convinced us and the prices were in the normal range (10-13 EUR), so much cheaper than in the bar on the roof on the first day. So after that evening my rating rises from 2 to 3 points.

hotel is dominated by russian guests, mostly with children.
