When choosing this hotel, I proceeded from the fact that it is better NOT to PAY for something and NOT RECEIVE it, than to PAY and NOT RECEIVE. And this, judging by the reviews and stories, seems to suffer from most Turkish 4-5 star hotels: the declared service is either absent, or in such a quality that it would be better not to have it at all. Turkmen does not provide anything special, well, that's why he is 3 *. Yes, the walls are without gilding, the staffs are without liveries, the walls are slightly shabby in some places, well, but do I need it?
Well, I'll try to describe all the pros and cons.
Accommodation.
The main thing that disappointed from the very beginning was that the three of us (my wife, my teenage daughter) settled in a room clearly designed for two, three beds and a pair of bedside tables occupied 90% of the room area. Well, okay, after all, we did not spend much time in the room. But the view from the window to the sea is simply magnificent! But the window of the neighboring 3-bed room overlooked a construction site, so who knows who was more unlucky.
The room has an air conditioner, a TV set, an empty but working minibar, a shower and toilet in a fairly good condition, everything is in order. The lighting is bastardly done: one lamp at the front door, the second at the balcony (why it’s not clear at all, we never even turned it on all the time), plus in the corner on the bedside table there is a table of such dimensions that you can kill an elephant, so you can read in the evening there was only one, well, okay, you don’t need to read at night.
The hotel area is relatively small, but everything you need fits without problems, the lion's share is occupied by a pool with a slide and sun loungers around, there is a paddling pool for kids, a bar, a couple of shops and a restaurant. Everything is kept relatively clean, the staff constantly run around the pool, wipe the water and collect glasses. The bar, by the way, is in the immediate vicinity of the pool, which is important for a certain part of the vacationers: they drank, dipped, drank. .
But we still came to the sea, so we plunged into the pool only two times in all the time, and besides, there are always people there, like on a bus 50 meters, in my opinion, it is quite inconvenient to just drink a glass of water and run from the beach to the bar and back.
The beach and the sea are beyond praise! The beach with the hotel is connected by an underground passage, there are plenty of sunbeds, the mushrooms are really small, they close little. The sea, when there are no waves, is crystal clear, when small waves rise a little turbidity, but on the waves you can swing and somersault great. The sunbeds are the simplest, hard ones, who are used to lying on the beach comfortably can pay a couple of bucks and take a soft sunbed. They don’t give towels on the beach, you can’t carry hotel towels, so either take it from home or buy it on the spot.
The service is not too intrusive, they clean the room regularly, but for some reason they strive to do this when normal people have a siesta and they try to relax in the room from the midday heat. I had to send the cleaning lady the next day, however, the cleaning is rather symbolic, it will pick up the garbage, run a rag over the open places a couple of times and that's it. The test tuft of hair left in the corner remained untouched. Tipping on the quality of cleaning is not reflected, double checked, so you can not pay Towels changed regularly
Food without frills: mass of greens, vegetables, chicken, soy meat, plastic ham or sausage. Although, in addition to plastic, it also has some kind of organic matter, maybe. Once she frankly smelled of something stale.
Of the fruits, oranges and watermelons, there was a melon a couple of times, but the problem is easily solved with fruits: leave the hotel in the evening and within a 5-minute walk you will find a lot of shops where this stuff is in bulk: cherries for $ 3, huge sweet peaches flowing with juice, figs , for the description of which there are no words! Once we came across a real Turkish bazaar. Wah! You don't have to buy anything, but be sure to visit, just look and smell.
There was no special entertainment in the hotel, standard children's dances, fire show, Miss / Mr. Turkmen contests (but how it sounds! ), once a children's dance group from the Caucasus performed, the kids danced cool
Of the pluses, one cannot fail to mention Vitaly. Either a Turk or a Georgian, it doesn't matter how he says to himself "black. opy". Just a monstrously positive uncle! Scary like Celentano, charming like Satan.
He rushes around the hotel all day, settles minor misunderstandings between the guests and the administration, especially since the latter do not always speak the language, participate in animation, constantly joke, flirt, simply do not leave anyone unattended! Women are thrilled by him, children are delighted. When he rests is not at all clear. Be sure to visit his hammam (Turkish bath), a great thing and an affordable price. Yes, and the sea excursion that we bought from him was also beyond praise.
In short, Vitaly, respect to you from Oleg with Sveta and Anya!
The biggest downside is the weather. Very high humidity, combined with the stupefying August heat, makes staying anywhere other than air-conditioned rooms not very comfortable. Even on the beach, already closer to 10 in the morning it gets hot, dipping into the sea with a water temperature of 30 degrees saves about five minutes. The sun literally beats on the head.
However, this is my subjective opinion of a Siberian, maybe someone likes it.
Of the small minuses - the bartender is a redneck! At first, he almost had to beg for everything, even ask for ice in a cola - "no nada, you are so cold", well, of course the drink turned out to be warm. But even here everything is solved simply, even without a tip, although they do not interfere. Just passing by, say hello, ask how you are, smile and in a couple of days he will do everything right for you and possibly without a queue.
Summary: an inexpensive 3-star hotel with a solid 4-ku for family vacations of people without special requests
