We stayed at the Golden 5 resort Almas palace for 2 weeks.



The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, accommodation was very clean, maid came in every day to clean, we got fresh flowers in the room every day too.

Having not been on an all-inclusive holiday before, it is only now, after reading the many poor reviews, that I can truly understand that what we experienced wasn't just the norm, but was actually a bad hotel experience. The holiday started off not too... read more

My overwhelming memory of this hotel is that our all-inclusive drinks were served in polystyrene cups with a dimple in the bottom so they don’t stand up. And it’s sad when that’s the first thing that pops into your head after a holiday.

I read all the reports after I had already booked on Club golden 5 and was very worried. I traveled on the 26/06/06 – 02/06/06, with my 9 yr old daughter, sister- in- law and my two nieces age 22 and 18.

I would strongly advise against travelling to this hotel. It is predominantly Russian guests there who physically push you out of the way for their food!! After a few hours of being there you realise that it is survival of the fittest.
