Avoid - booked via @onthebeach who has this as a 4* - it’s scraping a 2* and I’m applauded and disappointed it’s on their website. Cons - the “shake bar opposite” music from 9pm - 2am every night, it’s impossible to sleep, impossible! No matter what side of the hotel your on, the music blares through your room from their speakers and sub woofers. The hotel is in need of serious TLC - lifts, paint, pools, bars drinks and food. There is no entertainment at the hotel. The hotel has approximately 15-20 sunbeds max. 3 pools are listed, the main pool is allocated 5-8meters long and 160cm deep, approx 4m wide. Fills up with 6 people swimming. Kids pool is a paddling pool. This is not a family hotel, avoid bringing your kids The hotel is not on the beach, don’t be fooled by The pictures. The hotel does have an allocated area for its customers on the beach, however… it only has 10-13 sunbeds which are filled by 6am with towels - after that you have to pay to use another section Food - pudding is the same - selection of cakes, dinners are ever so slightly mixed up, but no labels to describe foods, thankfully chefs spoke English Breakfast the same, slightly mixed up as is lunch Snack bar - burgers pasta 12-4 each day - ice cream 5-5:30 Drinks - poor selection for all inclusive Beach towels, £10 deposit for your stay Hotel felt more aimed at Russian guests than European or English The area is very mountainous, and for that reason, the pool only had sun as did the hotel from 6am-1pm - after that you had to go to beach and if you read above, no sun loungers Pro - the chefs spoke English Bathroom - although in need of TLC - shower was large - overhead shower and hand held Part of me feels sorry for some of the staff who did try, either the hotel needs to move away from Shake Bar, have investment and start over or Shake bar needs to close to help the hotel and it’s custom. The majority of guests here, all regretted their stay at this hotel, some staying they are going back to their travel agents - we looked into moving hotels but needed another £400 for 6nights, 4 nights in, I’m regretting not moving - yes, writing this review whilst here. There’s plenty of shops around the hotel, local bus at approx £1.50 will take you to maramis. Plenty of excursions, aim for £10-15 per excursion, asking prices £25-30 - boat tours, massages, jeep safari’s, mud baths all available. No matter how cheap this hotel might look as a deal, believe me, your sleep is worth more, save an extra months wages and go somewhere better 2/5 or or if I was being generous 3/10
