It is always pleasant to have a rest and it does not matter where. Many will not agree with me, everyone has their own philosophy. So I’m not particularly capricious about the service and other little things about the rest, I just wanted to ignore it. A trip to Turkey was not planned at all, but literally one call, in the evening, I was 100% sure that a trip was waiting for me soon. Traveling to Turkey to the Lion Hotel 3 *, you didn’t have to count on anything beyond. But on the way to the hotel, we were pleased that we were going to another Grand Paradise 4 * hotel! Luck!
From the road, Grand Paradise (GP) looked somehow not quite presentable, they didn’t even immediately understand that this was a hotel. Fortunately, this was a misleading impression. Inside it was very cozy with nice staff. By the way, a rarity, but at the reception the check-in card was filled out by employees. A trifle, but nice! Settled literally an hour later, immediately after dinner, which we were immediately offered. The room was cramped, but VIP rooms were not expected. Our things were brought in a hurry, with a great deal of accuracy, and again, surprisingly, there was not even a hint of a tip!! ! I don't even know where I've seen this! The Turkish porter flew out of the room) The number, as it turned out later, was extremely successful! The view was sooo beautiful! I went out to the pool of a nearby German hotel and blended very harmoniously with the sea a little further away. Of course the room was not perfect. Hairdryer after 2 min. for some reason, the work itself turned off, the drain tank worked intermittently, oh yes, the door to the toilet somehow jammed, but after contacting the staff they eliminated it. What pissed me off the most was the soundproofing of the rooms. Forgive me for the word, but sometimes you can hear how they bzdat in the next room on the push! The TV worked with interference, but if you want to see it, you can. Pravda Russian-speaking channels 2: ORT and Russia 24.
The menu in the hotel restaurant is a little strange, obviously not for the average Russian layman. Breakfast mainly consists of the "Nesquik with milk" type, very little meat, buns, sweets. Usually after breakfast I felt a little hungry, but at lunchtime things were much better. The lunch menu is much richer, already something, but you can find a hearty meal. Until then I forgot! I advise you to try the tortillas prepared near the tennis court. Especially with spinach! The beer thing is great! They were saved))) But already dinner was a celebration of the stomach, but in any case for me). Grilled fish, shawarma, barbecue, fried potatoes, various cutlets were served... Rarely, when repeated. As for drinking, I will say this: take it in a restaurant, where both beer and wine are tastier. Gins, vodkas, whiskeys everywhere from the same bottles. At the expense of food, who will endure climatization, I am almost successful)) What can I tell you about the beach and the sea itself without much interest. The beach is like a beach, nothing special. There is no dirt, garbage is constantly removed. The sea is very boring, there is nothing to do in the sea at all! There are not even shells (the Black Sea is much prettier in this regard.

It's time to think about animation! The animation was only interesting in the evening, when their troupe showed scenes of the Stand-up show genre with the participation of vacationers. Pretty interesting, but by the second week they're already fixated. Their repertoire was very infuriating. Especially Aram-Zam-Zam!!! ! Then a week after the sea, I heard an echo! At the expense of children's animation, they stupidly do not bother. Children, no worse than animators, participated in the "show". No wonder, every evening is the same.
During the day, the animation was the same: exercise-volleyball-waterball-exercises...
But I think you should not pay attention to these trifles, as my friends told me, this was not the case in other hotels. There are no other highlights in other respects. The hotel is somehow on the outskirts of civilization. There is only a gas station nearby, and behind it is a small souvenir and clothing market. That's all hobby. Taking a taxi is expensive, and it's a long way to go. In general, with everything said above, the rest was a success! Nice cozy hotel. I was happy with that too! Hello Larisa, Olya, Alena, Seryoga, Anton, Olesya, Vitalik and Nastya! Competently buzzed in Turkey!
