Only facts. I was with my wife and daughter (9 years old) from June 3rd to 11.2009. I didn’t want to go to this hotel because of the bad reviews, but it just so happened, I hoped for the best - read the BAD reviews carefully - everything will really be like that. I thought it would be quieter and cooler there (north side). Safe in the room - three dollars a day (not cheap), while when I moved in, the Turkish master could not open it, drilled a hole with a small drill and opened it right away - so the safe is conditional. Room - central air conditioning, the first three days worked only as a fan (economical owner) -ie. wild heat at night, if you open the balcony door - noise and music from the hotel of the next line + mosquitoes (take a fumigator with you). Complaints to the reception did not give anything. The air conditioner was turned on when it was deemed necessary, while it worked specifically for the cooling mode, it was only on schedule. The shower in the room was leaking, there are no plugs in the bathroom. The room itself is not 5-star, a small refrigerator is stuck in a nightstand - there is very hot air, so the refrigerator does not work well. TV - two Russian channels. Dining room - queues, meat - there was only one the dish, mostly chicken, had to stand in line, if you didn’t have time, then please eat soy sausage or boiled egg salad. There are no toothpicks. Beer - only one variety (Efes), very weak and none at all compared to Ukrainian varieties, was poured into glasses of 300 ml in the dining room or in disposable glasses of 250 ml in the only working bar on the territory. The wine is dry - pink can still be drunk, white - too hard, do not recommend. There were also Turkish rakia, gin and vodka - the Poles really liked it. Drinks from the machine for free - really resemble "yupi". In general, the Turks are a mysterious people - at three in the morning I hear the noise of a powerful electric motor - they polish the floor in the hall - it's good that my room was in at the end of the corridor, but someone could hear it much stronger. On June 10, we rested in the shade on pillows (special such large inflatable pillows, you can take it for free if you have time) in the shade near the playground, there are two such special houses for children, one with air conditioning. I accidentally touched it - it turned out to be energized, although it didn’t work - it was normal like that. I found a Russian-speaking animator, brought him, explained - right there the children (!!! ) actually play - like yes, now I will bring the master - no one came! I waited, went to the reception - they politely smiled there, but still no one came. By the way, not all shifts speak Russian at the reception, so you need to know a little English. The beach is sand with dust, you enter the sea at first normally (knee-deep ) and then large boulders - with even a small wave, you can get hurt badly.
Of the good - large beautiful palm trees and flowers, a large area (although there is little shade), the maids worked well (1 dollar tip - they change the bed, shampoos, etc. ).
