I am writing a review as a sign of gratitude to all those who wrote their reviews and some of them became key in choosing this hotel. And also thanks to my cousin Alexei and his wife Olga from Novokuznetsk for the truthful information and recommendation of this hotel.
It really is a great hotel! Its main advantages:
1. the sea is across the road, but the passage to the sea is through the hotel's own underground passage, and not the city's underground passage, like many hotels, that is, if you and your children are absolutely safe;
2. On the beach, it’s not umbrellas that save you from the sun, but a good canopy-"shelters" (I can't find a word, see the photo)! Yes, you can sunbathe by slightly moving the sunbed, but being in the sun from 13:00 to 16:00 is very tiring (for me personally), and under the "canopy-shelters" I could read for 3-4 hours with pleasure.
In general (I’ll make a digression) in September, my wife and I really liked the weather, it was only two days stuffy and hot so that when you sit at dinner it pours sweat, and you want to go to the sea or pool faster. And the rest of the 10 days it was warm for good in the shade and hot in the sun.
3. The hotel is located in such a way that it seems that it is just huge and there is greenery all around, but in fact, in the center between the buildings there is a "Promenade" with palm trees, greenery, clearings, and outside the buildings there is a hedge of shrubs and this gives the impression of "Drowning" in the greenery of the entire hotel and the vast territory ", The hotel area goes from the sea to a depth of about 300-400 meters, which is quite enough for walking.
In the evening, there is a very pleasant smell, some plants open up and the whole area is fragrant.
4. Pool: The first is about 25 meters by 10 meters, very decent. The second one is a little smaller and there is a slide in the second pool.
The first pool is always music, the second is always quiet. At first we chose with music, and then we wanted silence and went to the second one. The pools have decent sunbeds with soft "mattresses" (again, I don't know how to call them correctly : ) By the way, there are enough sunbeds on the beach, but a couple of times there weren't enough places. It didn’t bother us, we went to the pool, and a little later in the afternoon the sunbeds were already free.
5. Own good stage and comfortable amphitheater for evening performances. It was very fun to look at the eccentricity of the Animators and vacationers, all the good fellows did cool games and improvisations without hesitation. Very surprised by the number of children in the hotel. Indeed, for them there is a paradise, the territory is not large and not scattered, the parents quickly found their children. For children, their own mini town of entertainment and their own pools for us are knee-deep : ) and most importantly, right next to it for adults, behind the posts, and you can swim right next to it, but each has its own depth.
An interesting show, when the hotel team (cooks) walk through the entire hotel with torches and drums with a huge ice cream cake, dance on this platform in front of the stage, they showed some of their Turkish dances, and then CAKE. And I realized they do it every week, because in 10 days they saw such a show twice, the first time was very amazing! It's impressive. And the second time they even tried the cake.
Volleyball on the beach in the evening, and always at the same time after dinner.
6. The food is very decent. And what does the hotel have an ISO certificate is a quality management system certificate. This is noticeable, for every meal they roll out refrigerated cabinets already with ready-made salads, etc. And after eating, they immediately take away without delay. That is, the products do not have time to deteriorate. Although once one spoiled tomato caught. But I'm not offended at all. For the sake of interest, I counted how many products we ate at a time. It was 15 to 19 for each meal. Every other day they made different fried meat or poultry. Soups are two types in the form of mashed potatoes. We did not eat sweets, we are watching our health : ), but there were a lot of them.
Fruit seems to be in season. We had mostly watermelon, and a couple of times apple, oranges, melon.
7. Rooms are usually in such hotels of different levels. Do not regret when checking in 15-20 dollars and you will be in full enjoyment of the rest. It is possible, of course, in another way. I have seen. First they settled in one room, and regardless of whether they shouted or not, or rather, I saw how some said something indignantly, while other tourists simply calmly explained to their meeting guide and EVERYONE was relocated. After all, there are the same people at the reception, and they cannot immediately guess by their appearance what number is needed. Therefore, misunderstandings happen, as it seems to tourists, but for receptionists this is a common job.
8. Next to the hotel on the left side is a private tour agency. 100 meters. Alexandra works there. A Russian from Arkhangelsk has been living in Turkey for 6 years. Do not be afraid! She is responsible for her tours, and does not advise what is not worth advising. We ordered 4 times and everything was fine.
But once we didn’t go to the Green Canyon ourselves, because there were a lot of tourists in a jeep, and I thought it would be crowded, the driver (he’s the owner) personally offered to negotiate with the girls in the front seat next to the driver, but I thought about these Russian women that they are not to blame, and refused to travel. And although this is not accepted in Turkey, Alexandra paid out of her money. Although the fault was mutual.
It didn't dampen the mood. It could be worse! That because of 2000 rubles to start up and get upset.
In general, everything is excellent!
Massage can be done both in the hotel and behind the hotel on the left in the neighboring hotel. Walk through the store. The price is cheaper around the corner, but there are slightly less facilities. In the hotel, everything is salon. And the price and quality, and the interior. Although we love the convenience and interior, this time the massage was done in a nearby hotel. I wanted to have a little more money for other entertainment and shopping.
For purchases. We weren’t going to buy outerwear, but a trip to a large leather salon (by the way, at the hotel itself there is from this big store - Said works a mini salon there, speaks Russian very well, works as a Russian language teacher in winter, when there are no tourists. It’s very pleasant to communicate , I recommend talking about the culture of Turkey, politics, economics, who is interested in anything. He speaks very well and understands different areas. ) so the trip to the salon surprised me! Such good things!
I thought, or rather, there was some kind of wrong, false idea about Turkish leather, these ten-year beliefs were destroyed and we bought 3! things.
Do not be lazy to bargain, advice to bargain does not mean shouting, asking for a discount, talking more than the seller. I give advice (only to no one) - shut it up. Ask for tea, very tasty, twist those in your hands, put them aside, and ask for more tea. After all, while he is sitting with you or walking next to you, he doesn’t deal with other buyers... I think it’s understandable and the discounts go one after another : )
And then we went to the bazaar (every Wednesday, ask at least someone in the hotel how to get there 10 minutes on foot to the left) and there they bought more good things BRANDED at prices of non-branded stores. Many times less.
It's also good to talk to Ismail from the Spa. He also knows Russian well, and you get a pleasant impression from talking about Turkey with a Turk without difficulty.
We are glad. What we wish you.
By the way, when there was another party in the amphitheater, those who were in this hotel not for the first time were asked to stand up. There were 20 people!
We will be among them if in a couple of years we want to go to Turkey and there are funds for an easy comfortable rest, and not a prestigious fashionable one : )
