Vacationing with my husband. There was a honeymoon. September 2018. Great hotel, the interior of the hotel is amazing, the staff is everywhere, they are just great, they try very hard, cleaning the room every day and changing linen, towels, too, unless, of course, you press the "do not disturb" button. But all the same, the cleaner rang the bell if she passed by and asked if she needed cleaning or something to change, add. Our room was decorated with a veil and swans with rose petals were made on the first day, it was very nice. The room has a mini-bar, it is replenished at your request every day. Left for tea cleaning lady always. The cocktails in the lobby bar are excellent, for every taste, the alcohol in this bar is both imported and local, I really liked the iced Baileys and the special Granada cocktail, the guys who were with us drank imported tequila, no one had any in the morning headache. On the beach in the bar only local alcohol, in the restaurant too. Everywhere is very tasty coffee, both from a coffee machine and brewed. As for food and non-alcoholic drinks, everything is in abundance, every day a new dish was chosen from the buffet and it was always very tasty! The chef is a big plus. A lot of meat, fish, shrimp saute once a week, grilled salmon steaks are served for dinner once a week, trout almost every day, sushi once a week (terribly not tasty, rice soaked in vinegar, fish in them almost was not) so do not take better. We read reviews that they gave crayfish once a week, we rested for 11 days, we never had one. Apparently not in season. Finger-licking desserts, all very beautiful and almost all insanely delicious, according to my husband. There are a lot of snack bars on the territory of the hotel, a lot of fast food, Turkish cakes with cheese and potatoes are prepared near the pool, eat at least all day. Delicious ice cream by the pool. During our stay in the hotel there were many local tourists, foreigners, mostly Germans and Americans, very few Poles and Ukrainians, most of all Russians. We swam in the pool 1 time, the animation was not considered, we were not interested, but they tried for vacationers. Evening shows attended 1 time, a troupe of dancers performed tricks on stage, very impressed, just WOW! I fell in love with the music of the pianist who played in the lobby every evening, even shed tears a few times, gave me a standing ovation!!! ! I want to sum up. The rest passed quickly and imperceptibly, we liked everything very much, we were waiting for this vacation for a long time and flew in a good mood, so there were no particular disappointments. We flew from Anex tour, Azur air airlines, back from Anex tour Onur air, Turkish flight attendants and the pilot, who do not understand Russian at all and do not speak English, did not understand why. The plane in the opposite direction crackled and buzzed strongly, all passengers covered their ears and held their heads, there was not enough legroom between the seats and very uncomfortable seats. But flew back and forth without delay. I want to note some of the nuances of this hotel so that you are immediately ready and not disappointed. Before the flight, we read and our manager said that the hotel provides the newlyweds with a bottle of champagne and a fruit basket upon check-in - this was not the case. Although we provided a marriage certificate. VI-Fi catches well only in the room and when there are few people in the lobby, but intermittently. We had a standard room booked, we understood that it could be, without a sea view, we were ready, but we were definitely not ready that it would be without a balcony! But with a sea view. . . keep this in mind if you smoke, in standard rooms, smoking is prohibited, and there is nowhere, because we did not have a balcony. Accordingly, I did not understand why a room with a sea view, if we always covered the window with curtains because the windows of our room overlooked the opposite building and everything that happened in our room was visible through the window of the neighbors. We did not change the room, because no one would understand it, only for an additional fee for each day of stay in another room with a balcony and a sea view. In this regard, they are very strict. Our friend had a 2-bed standard room, with a balcony and a view of the wall. You choose. Regarding the beach, there are a lot of sunbeds on the pier, there were always places, entry into the sea from the pier, on the side there is a small piece of the beach with entry from the shore, mostly Turks who can’t swim and families with small children swam, water in the sea in recent days it was very dirty, muddy, glasses, pipes, cigarette packs floated near the pier, because of the waves, the sea was muddy. Consider that there is no beach as such in the hotel, we went to other wide, clean sandy beaches with entry into the sea from the sandy shore. I want to warn you right away, in the sea, where the entry is from the sand, there are a lot of underwater sharp stones, in front of our eyes a man cut his foot very deeply on a stone, he was lifted up the stairs in a wheelchair, he was very injured. Be careful! On the last day, we had a departure at 23.30, and check-out from the standard room at 12.00, at 11. On the 30th, the cleaning lady insistently started ringing the door for us to leave the room, we didn’t want to spend the whole day on the beach and thought that we could extend our room until 6 pm for an additional fee, but the rules at the hotel are such that if you want to stay in the room until the flight , for $ 45 you are provided with another room on the minus first floors, without a window and with shabby plumbing, this is considered by them, as we understood the economy class of the room. The contrast was immediately noticeable. We needed a shower, a hair dryer and just get together calmly, so thanks for that. But it seems to me that it's not worth it, it's better to leave your luggage in the luggage room and take a shower in the spa if you don't care and don't want to throw 45% down the drain. Would we return to Granada again? Most likely not, just because there is no good beach, those with children, those who cannot swim or swim badly, or simply love wide clean sandy and endless beaches with clear water, he will understand me.
