We have already described our first impressions, being “right there”. Now we have returned home and sum up the results, and also describe what was not indicated in the first part.
Let's continue point by point:
13. About sports. VOLLEYBALL. Volleyball court on the beach is formally present. But! The animator with the ball comes once in the morning and when you agree with him in advance. The pitch itself is very close to the dressing room. So, if people really play (i. e. , move after the ball), and do not stand still, there is a big risk of falling into this very dressing room. Covering - multi-format LARGE pebbles + sharp stones. It is HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED to play barefoot: "first blood" appears after 10 minutes of active barefoot play.
So we had to go to someone else's field of the MAHBERI hotel. Thank you, though, that the Germans resting there, local animators and security did not kick us out.
Yes, by the way, if you want to play in the evening, you can take the ball from the same animators, but on bail. They steal, you see miyachi, sons of bitches...
WATER POLO. Every day at about 16-00 a match is held with the indispensable participation of one of the animators. Here, in principle, everything is tolerable. But there is also a nuance; . I witnessed how this same animator “in the heat of the fight” for the ball tore the whole stomach of one of the men with his CLAWS (that's the word). Till blood. So at the end, when it was over, this man asked the Turkish "athlete" to simply cut his nails. And he stupidly neighed: there are a lot of you, Russians here, will heal, they say...
14. There is also a SPICY nuance for "gourmets". Immediately opposite the hotel there is a wasteland with a sewage trench dug there (see photo). So, if you want to walk in the evening to the village or there, to a discotheque, then get ready to breathe in more air at the exit and then NOT BREATHE quickly, quickly past about 30-40 meters. And then try to breathe again. You will still smell the smell, but not so strong... You can't run without breathing for so long? But this is already outside the hotel, so - what can be the claim? Or breathe. Our people didn’t smell like that...
15. About the elevator. In each of the booths, 1-2 buttons are ALWAYS broken. And stuffy. Why? But the buttons are broken... Yes, yes, the very ones where it turns on. But who broke them? And the tourists. So let them blame themselves! True, they left a long time ago, well, those who broke...
16. No kidding - REAL DANGER lies in wait for you on the summer terrace of the dining room (ie the restaurant, as they call it). Namely: a gutter measuring approximately 25X20 cm separates the site from the lawn. Moreover, according to all elementary building codes (even ours, Ukrainian ones), it should ALWAYS be COVERED with a grate. Otherwise, flying in with your foot there, you can get such an injury that I don’t even want to describe here. And there used to be such grids here. I even found one (probably left as a keepsake). But there are NO grids! (see photo) And you have to look under your feet, citizens having a rest! And cross these drains CAREFULLY. And it’s better - don’t have lunch at all on the summer terrace - and you’ll be calmer (you won’t break your legs) for the waiters-cleaners, so there’s less work...
17. About room service. Yes, swans were rolled up for us (well, you know this local "trick") And it works: what Russian / Ukrainian woman is not touched by this and does not say to her husband: "Erase it is beautiful, leave her a couple of dollars in a tip. " So, there were swans, thank you. But on the other hand, after the next cleaning, we missed two towels - one bath (large) and the one on the floor. In general, it is not fatal, you can wipe yourself off alone. And the floor is not cold. But somehow it became dumb: what if they suddenly “present” that we, they say, took him to the beach and forgot there? Or are we stupid klmptomaniacs for hotel towels? In general, I found a “mute” Turkish woman and “explained with gestures that my name is not Juan” and I would like to get the appropriate towel. Dala. Also silently, but apologetically, she smiled, “Soori, they say, sorry. ”
18. Well, and other jokes that you can’t remember all of them, and it’s already enough to describe it all. Well, perhaps one more example: We stand in line (as usual there) for ice cream. Suddenly, the girl at the distribution stupidly turns around and goes somewhere. Truth on the move grumbled something to the janitor who worked nearby. He quickly threw down his rags, mops and buckets and cheerfully stood up to distribute ice cream. Replaced, so to speak - well done! What? Didn't you wash your hands? Does he have a health card? Comrades, drop these "Soviet" questions. Here you are not a scoop! Take this ice cream as soon as possible, because I give it ONLY at certain couple of hours. And go quickly. If it's slow, you won't get to the beach. Before the beach, you still have to go past the hotels, which is on the 1st line. Ultra!
General results:
That's how we got to HEDEF RESORT, Alanya. And "hit" in the most negative sense of the word. In general, the impression was spoiled from the first day. We were amused by the fact that we left the hotel further away - to the village, to the market, along the coast along other hotels.
By the way, once I managed to "slip" past the guards to the SAPPHIRE hotel - already there for 40 minutes we gained positive impressions and photographed flowers. These are real 5 stars. Not to mention the structure and external beauty of SAPPHIRE, the quality of rest could simply be judged by the faces of the vacationers - and not a single drunk anywhere! And there is no need to drink there - people just relax there...
And in Hedef, about a third of the male "population" has been drunk since lunch... Well, what else to do there, how not to drown the negative in their surrogate alcohol?
In short, it was the WORST HOLIDAY for all the time of our "intourism". Do not go to HEDEF RESORT (Alanya) for any money ever!
