Не то чем кажеться Not what it seems

Let's start from the very beginning of our arrival. We traveled as a family of four. Trouble began in the very first 15 minutes of our arrival, but more on that in order. As soon as the bus dropped us off near the hotel, we thought that he was mistaken and brought us to some cheap hotel, but after reading the sign, I was disappointed to be convinced of the opposite. We were greeted by a concierge who hurried to take our things and load them onto a cart, and the deputy general manager who hurried to take us and escort us to the conference room through the Lobby, which also left much to be desired. We were kindly offered tea or coffee, and then proceeded to a brief story about what kind of hotel it is and where it is, BUT HERE it turned out that the deputy general manager speaks 5 languages, except for Russian !! ! which turned out to be quite a problem. We asked a Russian-speaking person who could at least translate something for us, which caused quite a strong fright in the eyes of the deputy. chapters manager, but she nevertheless went in search. . . AN HOUR HAS PASSED. . . finally, they brought us such a person and the tour began, we were told about the merits of the hotel, bars, restaurants. . . And then they offered to inspect the rooms. The rooms were nice enough, clean and comfortable, although I was always alarmed by the smell of junk and old things that stood throughout the hotel, and when asked why, the staff smiled sweetly and offered to go further, but one detail nevertheless attracted my attention: the view from the window, which was hidden behind thick curtains stained on the wrong side with some kind of red and viscous substance. And I must confess to you, this view didn’t make me very happy, the fact is that we booked rooms with a DIRECT SEA VIEW, and from the window of our rooms we could see the hotel building, its other building, the pool and the restaurant below, palm trees, the kitchen, in general, everything, EXCEPT THE SEA, which was hidden somewhere on the side. We hastened to warn the staff about this oversight, to which the deputy. chapters the manager replied that: "there must have been some kind of mistake, let me see your voucher...... "Dear readers, remember this phrase because the trick follows!! ! In the lobby we were already met by the main manager of the hotel, who told us in broken Russian that there was no mistake and it was a direct view of the sea, namely: "there is nowhere more direct", we had a whole an hour to explain what is DIRECTLY and what is FROM THE SIDE. After long hours of explanations, we were all agreed to change the numbers. Understand correctly, this does not matter to us, if it were not for the difference in price, and believe me, it is significant. Nevertheless, we did not find a single number with a view of the sea, although this is not surprising, because, then, walking along the beach, we found that the hotel stands with the letter V, and there simply cannot be a direct view, from where they photographed, so that the sea is visible from the room, I And now, remember, I mentioned the smell of junk, and so: I managed to find out from local residents that the hotel was not built, as it was written and told, in 2010, it was: (quote from a local resident) "cheapest and shabbiest hotel in the whole Pathos!!!!!!! ! And so, that says it all. What follows is a story about bars and restaurants: despite the fact that the brochure says that there are 6 of them, I counted only 4, and by the way they do not differ in variety and delicious cuisine. For the entire time of our stay there, the kitchen changed only once and for one day, then everything was as before, we were even surprised if they had a holiday. Therefore, dear vacationers, since you have already chosen this hotel, then believe that it is much better and cheaper to eat at the Harbor port, which is located a couple of meters from the hotel. So it wakes up and tastier and cheaper and more diverse. Now not much about the luxuriously sandy beach, with clear blue sea water.... ITS NOT !!!! ! enter the sea so as not to break your leg or cut yourself on the ubiquitous stone reefs, perhaps only in shoes or along a ladder that leads into the depths. No, well, sand, of course, they poured a bit there, and if you swim to the right, then right next to the breakwater there is not a big sandy backwater, but you still need to swim to that one! because the water in the sea is literally teeming with rotting torn algae, plastic bags and other plastic or non-sinking garbage! But if you do not plan to swim, but want to sunbathe, then I am glad to inform you that there are sunbeds there and they are not bad enough, and they are not on the sand, but on a mowed lawn, which I personally really liked, in addition, you can call the waiter to you who always scurry between sunbeds and order something to drink. Speaking of waiters and staff in general: the people there are very nice and helpful, I would like to separately mention our Russian girl Galina, who works there as a restaurant manager and will always tell you: what, where and how. Summing up, I would like to say that in my opinion the hotel rolls only for four, and even then with a minus, because for the entire time of our stay there was not a single animation or performance. The hotel is suitable for pensioners or couples in love, who, well, finally, don’t need anyone and nothing but each other, and so. . . only 4 *, and not like not FIVE.
