We rested with a girlfriend at the CLUB HOTEL CARETTA BEACH****, we liked everything very much, but as soon as we realized that in the baths (Hamam), you need to go not at the hotel, but go to those that specialize in this specially ! ! !
I was in Turkey for the first time and I had nothing to compare with, and my friend had a rest last year and she had something to compare with.
Everything in detail:
When we arrived in Turkey, we easily found the “Tezturovites”, the bus was completed and we drove to the hotel in about 2.5 hours. The guide briefly and to the point introduced the necessary and useful information, did not say much, what is needed, we liked it. We were the last to be dropped off at the Club Hotel Caretta Beach and the guide took us to the reception. Settled literally in 5-10 minutes, a room with a direct view of the sea, pool, park and all the surrounding beauty!! ! The hotel is located on the seafront. You need to walk no more than 40 meters to the beach. There are enough sunbeds everywhere (on the beach, near the pool, in the park), there were even a lot of free ones, they came to our beach from neighboring hotels, there they always lacked sunbeds. There is a bar on the beach, which is open from 11.00 to 18.00, they make delicious Gezelme cakes nearby, in the same bar, from 12.00, they start preparing hamburgers, sausages in dough and delicious pizza... So it’s simply impossible to stay hungry, on the contrary, we deliberately skipped several times lunch at a restaurant, had a snack at a beach bar, so as not to put on weight. During lunch, there were literally a few people left on the beach, at that time we arranged a photo session.
The hotel has 1 restaurant, part indoors and part on the terrace.
The food is great, amazing! We had a motto - do not overeat! Since it is impossible to lose weight in this hotel, but to get better - in an instant.
Large selection of vegetables, herbs, various salads.
We had fruits: Strawberries, apples, oranges, melons, grapefruits, watermelons.
Dessert is a FAIRY TALE, sometimes it looked like some kind of wedding. There were such cakes that it was a pity to cut such a product, soufflé s, cakes, puddings, “potatoes” with nuts and a lot of delicious things. There were always meat and fish, mushrooms.
The chef always went out into the hall, talked with the guests, was interested in who and what they liked, what wishes would be. And for breakfast he cooked delicious scrambled eggs.
Drinks: Beer, Gin, Whiskey, Fanta, Sprite, Cola, mineral water, cooler water, coffee, tea.
We immediately drank Beer, but then we were advised Whiskey with cola. Really tasty.
The hotel has only 2 animators, Melanie and Niko. But they light up so that more is not needed. When it's time for club dances, the hotel manager Yusuf himself helps them and ignites the entire audience. They are great.
Very friendly, unobtrusive - it was easy to communicate with them.
They spoke Russian (German, English). The children followed them like goslings, especially the girl, they called her "Angel".
Niko held discos at the beach bar. He put on any music you ask for and that he has. A lot came to our disco from neighboring hotels: Relax, Arancia. We went to the Summer Garden disco (walk 10-15 min. ), we were at the disco at Arancia - so-so! You need to see and visit everywhere. What we did.
Tours:
We bought excursions not from a guide, because we bought unsuccessfully for a bathhouse once (more on that later... ), we bought outside the hotel. We just walked a couple of meters. Everything is much cheaper than the guides offer, and if you take several excursions, you can ask even cheaper.
We took a guide to the Hamam bathhouse, at the hotel, so as not to go somewhere, it turned out to be more expensive for 10 dollars per person, there is practically no service in the bathhouse at the hotel. The peeling was done well, but in the rest of the plan - gov... oh. There is no jacuzzi. They should lie down in the smoke - there is no such thing there. There is no more time on the stoves. Manual massage should be done, if you are a woman, then a woman should do it, for a man, a man should do it in order to massage many parts of the body. I was told that they do not have enough female massage therapists. A guy came to me, stroked my back, legs, arms and went... then he came into the booth with the administrator to me, it angered me, but I didn’t say anything, but in vain !! ! At the end of the session, tea is drunk, I was not even offered it. And finally, before I go to the locker room to get dressed, there was a circus in general... and for me additionally for 200 dollars, but for me, as an exception, they will give a discount, and for 160 dollars for 4 sessions they will do it all, they will disperse everything, etc. I politely said that I would think about it and went to the locker room, where my friend was already getting dressed, I told her that they were “selling” nonsense, we were talking among ourselves, quietly talking about intrusive service, then this lady (administrator) bursts into our locker room , originating from Tajikistan or Uzbekistan, she was rude, insulted, called us rude women, and her friend, in addition, also “boorish”, although we kept silent about all her unforest statements, we did not “start up”, but the mood and “hunt” to go to such baths we were beaten off completely. We decided for ourselves that in the bath (Hamam), you need to go where they do it at a higher level !!!!!!
So, we went on excursions:
Green Canyon. It's in open top jeeps. There were 11 jeeps in total. The column looked great! This is a very good trip to the mountains. A little extreme. They stopped there for 2-2.5 hours, dined (lunch was included in the price of the tour), swam in a mountain river, who wanted to fish. We visited an ostrich farm, a pig farm nearby, saw orange plantations and drank freshly squeezed orange juice (1 dollar), etc.
Pamukkale. The trip is interesting, more historical. We went for 1 day, this is enough, because. There is nothing to do there for 2 days, save your money. It is better to go on this trip without children, or older than 12-14 years. Since it takes 5 hours to go somewhere one way.
The tour is very tiring, but interesting and worth it!!!
We paid for an excursion, with an entrance to the Ancient City ($15) + dinner, and paid extra for: Cleopatra's Pool, payment on the bus $18 and lunch $10 (buffet). I liked everything very much.
The hotel is more of a family type.
I recommend to couples, but do not forget about the poor soundproofing in the rooms.
Although the hotel is family-type, our vacation turned out to be interesting, good, varied.
Two days later, in this hotel, we knew almost everyone by sight, and a week later, we knew almost everyone by name. Very warm atmosphere in this hotel. The staff is polite and welcoming to everyone.
Of course, we wanted a little more party place, but as my friend and I don’t like to sit still, we organize our own holidays: we constantly went on excursions, then to a disco, then we’ll sit on the beach, we’ll go there, then there, then a hookah smoke. . . in short, we had a good time and everything suited us.
After all, the main thing is that you need to go on vacation with a positive attitude, and not look for any flaws.
With what mood you go there, so you get everything. Remember this!
Our holiday went perfectly without any problems.
Turkey met all expectations, the hotel was worth the money spent on it.
