Very bad.

I have to admit that the hotel does not turn out to be good. I am usually quite skeptical of negative reviews, and carefully discard the obviously biased ones. So it was this time when I chose a hotel in Turkey. According to reviews, Green Fugla looks very decent. Just a flurry of positive reviews, occasionally diluted with rare screams, strongly knocked out of the harmonious chorus of people writing something from the series "Great hotel, it all depends on your perception. " This, of course, was a little alarming, but given the fact that reviews often strongly depend on how well and quickly they poured drinks for alkonauts in bars and how successfully they “lit” a miracle with a lonely girl, the animators and other attendants decided not to pay attention to them.

What was my surprise when, upon arriving at the hotel, I found that all the negative reviews, in general, were objective.

The hotel is old, the rooms are tiny and terrible. There is an unpleasant smell in the room, there is no sound insulation at all, extra cots are available, even if you arrive without children. On the territory in the evenings there is an unpleasant smell of either kerosene or dichlorvos. The restaurant is absolutely without air conditioning, it's hot outside on the veranda, inside it was just kind of hot. The impression is exacerbated by the noise from a large number of people and the open door to the utility rooms where they washed the dishes, the lack of cutlery and empty seats. The choice of food is poor. From meat I saw only chicken and soy pellets. True, I did not stay in this hotel for long, maybe when meat happens ...For breakfast, there is nothing at all except eggs. Even sweets, which are always on top in Turkey and Egypt, were presented exclusively with multi-colored jelly. But across the road from the hotel is a great cafe, where I saw people having lunch and dinner with fugla bracelets.
The beach is cramped, I did not notice a single free sunbed, although 90% were empty with lying towels. The sunbeds are so tight that I don't even know how people get to them. I usually only swim for a few hours, and then I leave to wait out the heat in the room, but if you like to lie on the beach and despise the need to get up in the morning and “book” something for quite a lot of money (! ), then here not worth going. The beach is sandy, with a gradual increase in depth. It's the best for children.

In general, I got the impression that the hotel is somewhere 3 *. And that our tour operators, in an attempt to maximize profits, sell it as a solid 4 * +. And that a large number of positive reviews appear for a reason ...The hotel can only be recommended if it costs $ 1000-1100 per season for 10 days for three (mother, father, child). This is a fair price. More expensive - better to look for something else. I don't think it's worth paying more.
I am very grateful to the guides Turtessa who promptly helped to resolve the issue of relocation to another hotel.
Of course, if you are going on vacation abroad for the first time, or you like a holiday in the style of Soviet boarding houses, then you will like it. Otherwise, no.
