Stayed for three nights on a business trip. This is a comfortable enough hotel with pleasant rooms, set next to a beach and with a swimming pool in the grounds. Most of the clientele are Russian and most of the staff do not seem to be English-speaking, which some may find difficult. The breakfast buffet was very Chinese and not too well laid out, although there were pleasant places to sit with an outside view.
The beach is surprisingly nice, with various restaurants and bars within walking distance. There was a little noise at night although it didn't disturb me too much. Lots of market stall on the doorstep selling typical beach ware (and beach wear).
If you are looking for a budget hotel and don't mind it being a bit rough around the edges, this is just fine. If you are looking for luxury, triple your budget and go for the Ritz Carlton.
