Что-то изменилось Something has changed

For the first time in my life, I returned to the hotel again.
Something has changed. The fact that they removed the chic pier and made the beach look like nothing. But! On the right is the VIP pier and only paid. 60 euros per day and 100 with food. On the left, the pier is large and with a bar and discos, which are not there due to the pandemic. And there are no sunbeds on the pier, as before. Moreover, on the left pier there is a terrace above the water, which is an Ala carte fish restaurant. Hasn't worked in 6 days. Why? Yes, because it costs $ 20 per person and in the presence of 12 people. As it is clear, I did not see those who wanted to. The rest of the A la carte are located in the same room, only they are called differently depending on the cuisine and the day. And in general, the absurdity with paid restaurants. I see this for the first time.
In principle, the hotel has not changed. Service, interiors, cleanliness at the level!

Alcohol is awesome. There are imports at two bars and at night in front of the pier on the left. It was moved from a former Irish pub. There is Absolut, Olmeca, Havana Club, Ballantines, Jameson, Red label, 5 types of whiskey, Martel cognac. Champagne, Baileys, Martini and local liqueurs. The cocktails are great. The lobby bar is the best bartender I've seen Hassan.
Food is a little worse. The food is delicious, as it were. But there are no frills. Few seafood disappear in 5-7 minutes and only at dinner. And then they don't add it! Who managed-took. This was before. If you come for dinner after 19.15, you will not see salmon, mussels, squid and shrimps here!!!
There is always a chicken, a couple of types of fish. Sometimes beef, lamb turkey. There are a lot of vegetables, cheeses, spreads, full of baked goods. But there were no eggplants out of 6 days 3, in any form. The pastry is awesome. There are always two kinds of soups, really tasty. Even the borscht is excellent!!!
Snacks are great! Hamburgers, shawarma, Gozelme with ayran are just top! Huge baked potatoes with toppings. There is always pizza. Super baked waffles with fruits. Ice cream is always available.
There is always Turkish coffee and grains and it's delicious, it doesn't stink! For breakfast, orange juice with pulp, but from the package, not fresh.
There are sweets and desserts. Good ones. And for breakfast there is really something to eat!
Fruit is a problem. There are watermelon, melon, plum, apples and orange. At the height of the season, there were never strawberries! Although the cocktail bar has desserts too. Cherry once. Peaches and apricots a couple of times. What is the savings in a luxury hotel???
It used to be much better! For such a hotel the food is very economical!!!
With the settlement as always!
If you have a standard, they put you in the ass of the world with a view of the wall. For $ 50 they gave a chic room with a sea view.
A huge plus is that with early check-in and late check-out, you can use the entire hotel without exception. Eat, drink, swim.
We checked in at 6:30 and got a room at 10:00. And we left at 18.00, the room was extended for $35.
Nuts on the bar is a plus, Turkish delight is less than three times. And there is no welcome at the entrance to the hotel.

There is wi-fi throughout the territory. But he keeps appearing and disappearing. 6 people have everything the same. There are places where it generally slows down.
There is no footwash at the main entrance to the beach, you have to go to the pool to wash off the sand.
The revolving doors at the entrance from the pool regularly do not work and at both entrances. You have to push with your hands.
Huge problem in public restrooms. There is a motion sensor, and it turns off the light after 6 seconds. You have to stand or sit on the toilet waving your hands to turn on the light. Some idiocy!! ! Gastrolation complained, they did not respond, as with Wi-Fi. They sit smiling and making excuses!
There is a piano on the Lobby, played for 2 days, the rest of the time it is covered with a cloth. This has never happened before!
All these nit-picking I write Gastrolation!! ! Read and respond!
The hotel is 50% full, there are not enough sunbeds on the pool, although there are a lot of them! The beach is full of free. I can't imagine if there will be a full download! And in principle, I think it should be forbidden to borrow sunbeds in advance. People occupy the best places at 6 am and do not appear at the pool for half a day. And others lie down for the whole day in the gallery.
Of all the vacationers, according to my observation, 50% are Turks, 20% are Russian speakers, the rest are Europe. That is why there is no Russian music at all in the pool. Often plays Turkish.
In general, the hotel is good.
And we were satisfied! Cleanliness, excellent service! No one is snorting or yelling at you. The staff is really courteous and respectful and helpful. Even to us Russian speakers!! ! Really nice to tip.
Animation is, a lot and not intrusive. If you want, you participate.
You can close your eyes to the little things, given that we rested twice as cheaply as in 2018. But I heard how much people bought vouchers and their eyes climbed onto their foreheads. Now this hotel is not expensive! More expensive than 1.5 euros for 7 days. I wouldn't fly.
For families with children, it has become much better, given the new beach.

There is nothing for young people to do here, it’s boring without a pier and movement! If the pier is opened, it will be much more interesting.
Earlier, 3 years ago I read negative reviews. And they were written at the beginning and end of the season. With the same savings. Given that we were two weeks after the opening this year, I sin on this.
I think in July and August it will be fatter.
Have a good holiday everyone!! !
