хороший отдых good vacation

Rested from 14 to 23 August. Tour operator "Coral Tour".
First, a little about the tour operator. The meeting at the airport went well, they were taken to the hotels quite quickly too. There is only one minus - the guide who met Olya was apparently very tired of tourists for a very long time and therefore behaved as if she were meeting prisoners, and not people who had come to rest.
The hotel guide came to the meeting on time, spoke normally. True, the main emphasis was on the sale of excursions. We were seduced and bought a tour for 75 bucks per person for fishing on a mountain river (catching trout), but more on that later.

The guide was just kind enough to say that he would organize a trip to a leather and fur factory, a jewelry store, there would be discounts of up to 50%. In addition, if you refer to it in shops and salons, the hotel will also have discounts. As it turned out later - a complete scam, and if you do not refer to it, you can bargain for a much larger discount, since he has his own percentage from each client. So don't see the guides in the stories - they are swindlers. Specially delivered to "charged" stores, where prices are three times higher.
They took it to the airport normally, except for the fact that on the way they again brought it to “their” stores in order to shake the rest of the bucks out of people.
Now about the tour:
- according to the guide's description, first fishing on a mountain river, with children and women fishing in the pond, and who are the pros - right in the river. Sweating mud baths, massage and lunch (caught trout and specially cooked lamb are fried for lunch), the tour lasts from 8.30 to 17.00.
- in fact, it turned out that you need to fish in a dirty puddle, but there is simply no fish in the river (it is specially brought to the pond). 5 buses arrived and people stood around the pond in a crowd, like in a market. There are floats all around. Tin is shorter. Mud baths also turned out to be a small container with white clay. And instead of a massage - a three-minute rubbing with oil. Lunch finished off completely - there was not enough sheep for such a crowd, so literally a couple of spoons were enough. Trout ate. But it could have been in the hotel too. We were already at home at 14.00 - in short, the bablos were thrown into the wind, thanks to Coral!
Now about the hotel:

- we were greeted with dignity, fed breakfast (although we were late for it), showed us where to leave things before check-in. Change your clothes and go for a swim. The ticket booked a room in a large building, but did not spare 10 bucks to the girl at the reception and settled in a 3-room cottage. Wonderful. True, the furniture is a bit old and there was no safe in the room, I had to carry it to my friends in a neighboring house, but these are trifles. The territory of the hotel is simply magnificent - green, well-groomed. Two outdoor pools - one for children with 3 slides, the second is huge for everyone. The pool is clean and constantly monitored. There are also plenty of loungers around. A slight inconvenience with the change of beach towels - only twice a week for 1 hour. The beach is sandy with sunbeds, closer to the sea - small pebbles. There are plenty of loungers too. Minus one - dirty! After dinner, they practically do not clean up, they only level the sunbeds and drag the sand around them. In the sand, therefore, different garbage. In the morning you come to the beach - there are plates, glasses, full of trash cans that have not been removed since the evening, it happens that you stumble upon used condoms and so on. Literally 5 meters outside the beach, the hotel is generally a mess: empty bottles, cans, bags, all kinds of rubbish. You go into the water - it's normal, you swim 15-20 meters and at a depth of 3-3.5 meters old tires, pieces of iron fencing, cans, bottles, glasses are already lying around. In general, the beach leaves much to be desired. The food is excellent, no one will go hungry! The dishes are very diverse, constantly updated, no matter what time you come - you will get everything! And so the whole day, a real paradise for food lovers !! ! The waiters are helpful, empty dishes are cleaned very quickly. If you constantly sit down at one table and give the serving waiter a couple of bucks, he will bring you good wine at lunch, and not the sour meat that is in the barrel in the hall. In short, do not skimp on tips and excellent service is provided to you. Slightly disappointed with the free dinner at the seaside Italian restaurant…. . Expected more. Well, okay, little thing. Get drunk too, if it's normal to smile at the girls in the bar, then a real double whiskey is guaranteed!! ! The whiskey is good, the wine is normal only for dinner in bottles, but (in the bar) it is sour. Beer is standard - ephesus. The animation team is excellent - 4 Russian girls and 5 Turks. The chief animator Mr. TEO is just a smart girl!! ! In general - entertained, tried. For children, too, everything is organized at the highest level - the animator Anya is with them all day. Clever - the children are simply in love with her !! ! Great free Turkish bath with pool. Excellent massage and spa treatments. Many thanks to Sveta from the salon for the good attitude towards customers. Room cleaning is normal, it is advisable to leave a tip (a dollar is enough). Not very responsive to complaints about faults in the rooms. The burnt out light bulb in the toilet was changed for 2 days. To sum up everything described - a solid 4 for the hotel and work on eliminating the shortcomings. We rested well.
