Ужасный отдых Terrible holiday

Holidays in Aventura Park Hotel
We decided to somehow go on vacation abroad, so much so that in a good hotel, so as not to think about anything and not worry. In general, I wanted a serene and relaxing holiday. Therefore, we decided to trust the choice of friends working in a travel agency, who offered us a vacation at the aventura park hotel. From the list that was, this hotel suited us all. Proximity to the sea, five stars, a good beach according to our friend. Of course, there were suggestions that the beach was not very large, but a friend assured us that the beach there was sufficient. Sand and pebble. There are private pools, in general, everything will be on the best level.
So.

It's all written on the site on which we were sent on a trip. The cost of a trip for a week in a dream hotel came out to us at 37 thousand without the cost of railway tickets. Well, as they say, money is not a pity for a paradise vacation, so we packed up and went...
Here it is necessary to say a few words about the company that publishes this information. The group of companies Sunmar, Coral and Odeon is engaged in sending tourists. Why such a division of responsibility and authority is necessary is not entirely clear. Didn't think.
We go further, having overcome the road, the flight and so on, what did we get in the end. It should also be clarified that before the trip, we talked with people who went to Turkey last year, they explained to us where and what. They said that communication in Turkey is expensive, it makes sense to take a local SIM card and call from it, it's easier, cheaper and more profitable, they explained how to bargain with the Turks. In general, they told us a little about what and how. Thank them very much.

So. Upon arrival, we were normally met, put on a bus and taken to the hotels. The road to the hotel took about 2.5 hours, a bit tiring. Arriving at the hotel, we went to the reception and gave them a voucher, according to which they settled us. The hotel staff does not speak Russian, which was surprising, although there were probably 99.9 percent of Russians in the hotel. Of the total number, I noticed only two Germans. At the reception, few people know Russian either. As a result of communication with the staff upon check-in, we found out that you need to leave a $ 20 deposit for the consoles, whether we eat them. Check-in can be said to have passed for four. Not to say that it's perfect, it's comforting that others were less fortunate. The main naebka in this hotel is the electronic key to the room. It's like a bank card. It opens the door from the outside and turns on the light and all the electronics in the room, including the power sockets. And the most funny thing is that they don’t give a second card. Offered to buy for $25. And just buy. So, I really do not advise anyone traveling with children, because they will have to determine the elder who will walk with this card. Why such hemorrhoids were invented and such idiotic rules for obtaining the second key were established - only Allah knows.
After getting used to it a little and having a rest from the road, we decided to find out what is included in the price, what you have to pay for and how much it costs. After 10 minutes of explaining what we needed, we were given the following paper. By whom this work was compiled, one can only guess. Read, spend 5 minutes, because it's funny.
Our hotel guide arrived the next day.
The guide briefly told what and how, offered various excursions, and, well, carried complete nonsense and nonsense. Why - I'll tell you now. Since we wanted to buy local SIM cards here, and we had to go online (we didn’t take a laptop with us as an extra burden), we immediately asked him a question where you can buy a local SIM card, to which we received a funny answer. It turns out they have adopted a law according to which local sim cards do not work with Russian phones. They are immediately blocked and therefore do not work at all and it is easier to buy a phone card from him for $ 5, which may be enough for 15 minutes to call home. They were surprised, but they believed. We didn’t think that it’s possible to lie so brazenly, and we didn’t really bother about it, but in vain. I will return to the conversation about the hotel guide, because this bastard is decent. Let's move on to the description of the hotel, because I didn’t mean at all that such a powerful scam could turn out with the hotel.
So. As the guides of Odeon, Sanmar and Korela assured us, their company received an iso 9001 quality certificate and everything is cool with them, hotels are also all tested and therefore everything is great.
After walking around the hotel, the thought arises that I would not send my children here.
Simply amazing safety for children who play, run, climb everywhere, etc. . .
Moreover, in some places under a canopy, where the boards are rotten, nails and rusty screws stick out, so you also need to walk very carefully here.

Near the right wing of the hotel, if you face the sea, we found strange abandoned objects.
They didn't care about it at first either.
The first night we slept with the balcony door open. After the toads croaked us and the mosquitoes bit us, we had to close the balcony door and breathe in air-conditioned air. Turkish mosquitoes, by the way, are somehow special, they fly almost silently, but they bite like our Siberian mosquitoes : )
Several Turkish mosquitoes were killed in the morning.
So the dream was a success, especially after the road. Well, okay, we have enough mosquitoes, not to get used to. However, is it really not easier to dry this swamp near the right wing, so as not to pester the guests with the croaking of toads and annoying mosquitoes.
By the way, a single word can be said about air. In the evening, as it seemed to us, it smelled of a strange smell, some kind of rotten meat or garbage. At first, we didn't pay attention to it either.
Those who want to watch TV with Russian channels will have to be patient trying to make out the images on the screen and the words amid the hiss. He shows them like this (these are only Russian channels).
Under the beautiful word mini-bar hides a miserable refrigerator from the time of the king-peas.
And the refrigerator door is very tricky. It can be put in place, so that everything looks fine, but after the first opening everything is skewed. We didn't notice this when we moved in.
In general, you can close your eyes to this, because we did not come here to the hotel, but to the sea and to the sun. So let's move on to the description of the beach.
Remembering the description on the site, (Private sand and pebble beach, first coastline. umbrellas, sun loungers, mattresses, towels - free of charge. The length of the beach is 200 m) it becomes very insulting when you directly come to the beach itself. I have never seen such a whore, except in Gelendzhik. If you go into the water, you understand that it's just full.......I have no other words, except for interjections.

Let's start with length. The length of the beach is probably 50 meters, if not less. Of course, I’m not very good at judging by eye, but 200 meters is definitely not there. Length (not width) of the beach, i. e. the distance from the wall, where the territory of the hotel begins to the water, is probably 8 meters. There are two rows of sun loungers. The rock to the right of the hotel closes the beach in the evening from the sun, which is even more fun.
Maybe, of course, there are 200 meters, but this is if you count the beach for two hotels. Construction is not taken into account.
Those who climb into the water, special precautions. Do not dive under any circumstances. Be careful walking under the bottom. Before stepping, watch where you put your foot. For at the bottom there is not sand with pebbles, but rocky rock with construction debris.
To the right of the hotel (if facing the sea) is a small bay of boats and yachts.
In the evening, while swimming, we somehow got into an oil slick. At first I thought that it was brought from the yachts from the bay. However, he could not believe it for a long time. Well, like a yacht either on gasoline or on a mixture of gasoline and oil, and here is a specific oil slick. Having made a small outing around the hotel (walking to the alar bazaar and searching for a mosque), approaching the hotel, we again smelled the smell of rotten meat and garbage. In general, it was not necessary to look for where such fetid odors were coming from. Near the hotel, to the right of it, there is a small path along which you can come to a very strange place. Here, either something is thrown out, or cars are washed, and it seems to be garbage trucks (judging by the cars that drive there).
The aroma here is such that I had to hold the camera with one hand and pinch my nose with the other. Breathing is impossible. So. All this garbage pours into a small stream, which exactly flows into the sea to the right of the beach in the area of ​ ​ ​ ​ the bay for boats and yachts.
The source of the river originates from here.
It is also not clear what it is. It looks like a roadside toilet. The stench is wild.

In general, those who decide to take evening oil baths, I advise you to first go and see, so to speak, get a taste, before climbing into the sea. In general, people just don’t swim in the sea because it’s dangerous, you can either cut your leg on construction debris, or just ruin your mood.
By the way, the children who still swim there with a mask talk about more shocking things that are at the bottom. There are several broken construction cables, with rusty spokes sticking out in all directions. I don't know how to describe. I did not get a photo of this cable. It lies between the stones and the light does not break through there. The picture is very cloudy due to lack of light. In general, I do not recommend taking a mask to this hotel for scuba diving, unless, of course, you are fond of construction waste and do not collect rusty scrap metal from the sea.
What else can surprise you. Ah, I almost forgot. All the people who have experienced the local sea go to the sunbeds by the two pools. One is bigger, the other is smaller at the hill.
There are more sun loungers here, on the right they stand in two rows. Well, there are probably 40 more.
As a result, there are probably about 60 sun loungers by the pools. There are several on the beach. There are more than 400 residents in the hotel. As a result, we get busy sunbeds all the time. So, if anyone wants to lie down there, do not forget that sunbeds must be occupied in the morning. In the morning you need to put a towel on it.
Regarding excursions and the work of hotel guides, you can write a separate article. It turned out just awesome, as we paid a decent enough amount to comfortably ride the bus to pomukala and back, but did not leave on the appointed day. A bus arrived with a list, in which we were not. On our presentation of the voucher, a wonderful phrase was issued that apparently another bus was coming here and now you will go on it. As you might guess, there was no second bus. It is necessary to say a few words separately about this excursion. You have to go far and the departure was at 04:45 (in the morning), so you need to get up to get ready and have time to have breakfast at 03:45 or at four in the morning, whoever is going.
Breakfast is a separate topic, not even a topic, but a song.

For breakfast bread, cheese, cucumber butter and tomatoes. You can drink either cold water or tea or coffee. Bon appetit.
Well, having phoned the hotel guide, we immediately received a funny answer from him that the bus was coming and we simply did not go out to meet the bus. He even threatened us that they have a receipt from the hotel staff who allegedly did not see us............ from such impudence, I expressed everything that I think about him on the phone. The hotel guide, apparently, after that still had a sensible thought, after which he decided to come and settle the conflict. Arriving, Adil, of course, apologized for such an oversight for a long time, especially since we immediately talked to the hotel employees and found out where the recordings from outdoor video surveillance cameras are located, which show how we communicate with the visiting guide on the tour.
As a result, the time was spent, the excursion across the road, which costs $30 instead of $80, also went on that day, we didn’t have much time left at the hotel to look for other excursions, so, despite such jambs, it was decided to still run into on Adil, but still go to this pomukala.
Adil admitted his mistake on tickets and rescheduled the visit to pomukala for another date. As compensation for moral damage, he put us a note about VIP privileges on the ticket. Allegedly, additional paid services will be free for us.
Of course, all this crap with VIPs turned out to be complete nonsense. The story with cell phones, what he rubbed into us in the early days, also turned out to be complete nonsense. As ordinary Turks told us, Russian phones work fine with their SIM cards. Just when registering a SIM card, they check the IMEI of the phone to ensure that it is not stolen, and to register a SIM card, you need the passport of the person to whom the SIM card is registered.
Why it was necessary to lie that nothing works at all is not clear. Apparently he wanted to sell more of his phone cards for $5. By the way, the same cards are sold across the street in a store for $3.

So this asshole Adil probably spoiled our mood completely and already didn’t care that the beach and the sea were figs, that it smelled of garbage in the evenings, that those who swim in the sea go out with oil stains on their skin. Well, we forgot about breakfasts, mosquitoes and croaking toads.
Well, what can I say about the whole thing. Do not go through such acquaintances. And do not choose this hotel, or the mood will be spoiled, and money spent in vain.
Have a nice holiday
PS: And finally.
From the list on paper:
There is tennis, even rackets and balls. Be careful with the balls, the fences are not high, they fly away only on the way with mistakes. (ball $5)
Table tennis is bullshit. Killed rackets and broken balls.
Gym - one name. There are two exercise bikes and a treadmill.
Beach volleyball - not found. Unless you jump over rocks. . .
No billiards
Rent a car - $60. There are no cars : )
There is no jacuzzi.
The Ala carte restaurant is a complete mess.
They will give soup, one fish and a couple of salads of your choice. The quality is low. Local mosquito is attached to the dishes.
This is such an open-air eatery. At least in our eateries, such dishes are prepared much tastier.
