Hello. More about "Hedef Rose Garden". Period 13.07. 2008-23.07. 2008
Perhaps I'll start with the fact that the hotel pulls on its 4 *. It is not yet 4 * +, and you can’t attribute it to the economy class either. We flew from Lvov (Ukraine). We flew to Antalya, everything is fine there, they met us, put us on a bus, took us to the hotel (here Kariya Tour worked well), the guide took us to the reception. There they signed documents (such as "the tourist was sent - the tourist was received") and left. The receptionist put on our bracelets and invited us to have breakfast (it was about 9.00). We're going. When we returned, Ahmed (junior hotel manager) was already waiting for us and began to explain to us and other tourists from Russia (by the way, hello to Vitalik and Olga) that there were no places and they would put us in another hotel, not far away. Of course, we remembered for the sake of appearance (it is clear that there is no other way out, they will be relocated anyway, the beads were adjusted, the porter holds the suitcases), but after the words “we are taking you to a good hotel, also 4 * and then we will give you the best rooms + safe for free + wine and fruits in the room. We agreed (later we saw for ourselves that moving to the Hedef Rose Garden hotel goes without saying. A couple of days later we met Larisa from Russia (Vologda), and we also saw a dozen tourists with the same trouble).
Somewhere in 5 minutes we were already standing at the reception of the Mirador 4 * hotel. In this hotel with the Russian language is tight. There are more and more Germans in the Mirador, and there are Germans in the Hedef Rose Garden, but not in such numbers. There is an invasion of the Poles. That's horrible. They are everywhere. Noisy!!!!!!! ! But there are also many Russians. But they are not so intrusive : ) No one touches anyone in vain. And the Poles are running around fussing, think the Russians stole their umbrella : ) noise for the whole hotel. The whole diaspora is looking for. So, the Russian staff understand (not all of course) and speak.
Briefly about Mirador. It stands on the very shore of the sea. There are 2 pools and a slide. Bars from 12.00 to 16.00 (this is very bad). The rooms are normal, the floor: ceramic tiles, the hair dryer in the bathroom is old, the shower cabin, the ceiling is lining (bad). The view from the hotel - how lucky (if they give you a view of the sea, you will win the jackpot). The staff is normal, almost no Russian speaking. The porter is greedy. 1 dollar is not enough for him. Another minus is that the animation is in German and in the shower sticks out a 20 cm stub from the wall called a shower. But the plus is that on the very shore, the restaurant is better in terms of service and the view is gorgeous.
In short, a day later we were moved back to Hedef Rose Garden. They gave a safe, the room is good, with a view of the mountains. There is also a mosque that howls 5 times a day. Well, at least the heat is unbearable and the balcony was closed. Howling is not long (5-10 minutes). The room is carpeted, large TV, air conditioning, telephone +1 in the toilet. Toilet with bidet, bathroom with shower (normal, like at home, with a hose), 2 rolls of paper. But there is an eternal problem in Hedef Rose Garden: 1) There are almost never any napkins in the restaurant. You constantly have to ask. They may give, or they may not find. Then wipe yourself like one Russian - right on the tablecloth. 2) Light bulbs. They also constantly called the master technician. Burn out. They are not in a hurry to change. And there is absolutely no place for her in the room... wires stick out from there : ). The "technicians" said to turn on the sconce, they won't screw it in. And 3) Elevator. Lines of 20 people. You stand for 10 minutes - you wait. Then you go and sweat, you stop on each floor. Horror.
Here in “Hedef” he gave the porter 2 bucks, so he almost kissed his hand. Finally, he smiled and almost left, but I caught up and gave money at the door. It was a pity for him, he dragged bags to the 4th floor without an elevator, since the problem was to sit down. The maids take 1 dollar each and even “perform” hearts from a blanket (reference: by a blanket we mean a large waffle towel 1.5 by 2 m, stretched-rectangular in shape). There is 1 Russian channel.
They brought fruits to the room, they did not deceive. But late at night. But we reminded them together with the guide Timur. He wanted us to file a complaint against the hotel. But it turned out that this was to bring us compensation (fruits and wine). They won't give money.
The animation is good. The main animator Alex is good at getting the audience going in Russian, English, German. Well, the team is trying. Without them, the hotel would be boring. They invented all sorts of contests, parodies, a disco for children.
Every day they turn on a water slide, hold aerobics, play darts, big and small tennis. There are not enough sun loungers, umbrellas too. A lot is occupied by throwing towels, and they themselves disappear no one knows where. In the evening, several buckets of bleach are poured into the pool, the smell is not good. Bar near the pool until 22.00, in the hall until 24.00. Drink whatever you like. Cocktails are paid. They feed a lot, but everything is the same type. From potatoes, french fries, cucumbers with tomatoes, chicken, fish, watermelons, melons, I was already sick. Everyone knows such a fact that in Turkey, Egypt, etc. nothing will be lost. For example, cucumbers and tomatoes not eaten yesterday turn into a salad tomorrow, a fork that has fallen on the floor is carefully placed on the table. Don't be surprised by sticky utensils - this is from the hands of waiters who carry dirty plates in sauces, etc. Sweets are special. Some are delicious. There is a parody of jelly (semolina with yupi). The cakes are delicious. Those who are very squeamish better stay at home. You will die of hunger there.
The bus goes to the beach 2 times there and 2 back. Drive 2 minutes. Walk 5-7 min. On the way, it stinks on the left side of the barracks, on the right side of the 5 * hotel it does not stink. The beach is small. There are not enough sun loungers. There are no umbrellas. Everyone lies under stretched sheets. There is a bar. They drink, they feed. The beach is open until 19.00 then the mattresses are impudently taken away, the bar on the beach until 17.00.
There is also a river that has been talked about a lot earlier. There, the Poles wash their feet and there is a sign with the inscription “River water! Not harmful to health! There is no smell, but they did not dare to wash there. The waves are strong, there is sand, it is not enough, but you need to go through the stones to get to it, you can be crippled. Be careful.
We went on an excursion. On St. Nicholas $60 adult + $30 child. The food there was terrible!! ! In a halimo tavern where flies nest right on your plate. Driving along the coast is beautiful, but not with Turkish drivers. I felt so sick that I wanted to walk. The promised yacht is a boat with a motor. We sailed beautifully, but we sniffed diesel fuel so that our head ached. The tour described beautifully by our guide came true by 25-30%. The church jewelry store is very expensive and they watch you like a thief. Yes, the Russian-speaking guide, a historian with 2 educations, Yasha, speaks Russian very poorly. I don't know which historian.
Near the hotel there are shops, but bargaining there is bad. Gold items of rough work. They sell hookah with very bad tobacco, but they give good smoking. When we started smoking a hookah near the pool, security came running and started sniffing what we were smoking, we realized that it was not a drug and left. After them, the hotel's general manager came and tried our tobacco and spit a lot. He handed something over the radio and they brought us a hookah with really good tobacco at the expense of the hotel. The hookah itself can be ordered for 5 euros. You can buy something cheaper in Kanakli. There goes a minibus for $1. There are better bargains and more choice.
There is also a park right in front of the entrance to the hotel. You can walk there, look at the fountain. Children can play on the playground.
In general, the holiday was a success and I liked it. Very hot 40 degrees. After arriving in Lviv, 17 degrees, I thought that I was in winter.
