We have been resting in Tutsia every year for many years, but we try not to think about our resorts. There are many advantages of holidays in Turkey - it's "all inclusive", affordable prices, the hospitality of the Turks and much more. We do not advertise Turkey, we just share our thoughts with you. Over the years we have stayed in different hotels. Just returned from vacation and decided to write this review about the hotel Ganita Holiday Club Ganita Holiday Club 5*. We have never been to this hotel, but a friend in the travel agency assured us that we would not regret that she was here during the info tour. After rainy weather in Moscow, Antalya met us with a warm sunny day. We approached the counter of the travel agency, got into a comfortable bus and drove to the hotel, which is 95 km away. A good bus, chic Turkish roads and travel time passes unnoticed.
So that you are not bored on the way, you will be accompanied by a transferman, whose only task is to terrify tourists so that tourists do not leave the hotel and do not buy anything without their participation. Travel agencies are interested in the fact that tourists buy only in those stores with which they have an agreement. There was nothing to do and we began to listen to horror films from the travel agency, performed by the transferman from Odeon. In reality, any Turkish resort is safer than the Russian one, about a million times, so you should not take this nonsense. The resettlement went quickly, the boy helped to bring things to the room, thanked for our tip and left. We settled in a villa - after the bustle of the city, we wanted to live in a cozy house. The territory of the hotel is large - 6 hectares, a lot of greenery, various flowers and trees. Palm trees are everywhere, as if they want to remind you that you are in the south of Turkey.
The territory is clean, well-groomed, the lawns are neatly trimmed. The hotel used to be for Muslim believers from Arab countries, but this year the owner changed and the new owner turned it into a normal hotel for all tourists. We spent the whole day on the sandy beach. The staff is very friendly, many speak or understand Russian. Special thanks to the wonderful hotel security chief Mehmet Zubastik. All hotel employees have their own uniform, depending on the work performed, or the position they hold. The name of the hotel is translated as a mermaid, so her images are everywhere. The main contingent of vacationers were Russians, there were tourists from Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and others. There were Turks, mostly families. Most tourists with children, the audience was normal. A little about food: fed from early morning until late at night. We are not one of those tourists who come to get drunk and get drunk, but we love to eat delicious food.

Once we went with them to a disco in Alanya Robin Hood - a cool party. The animation is all in Russian, and once a week - the Turkish night, when visiting artists perform, every evening there is a show, so there was no need to be bored. I really liked the Alaska show, when they brought huge ice cream on a stretcher and handed it out to tourists. There are slot machines, billiards, playstation in the hotel - this is for a fee, and table tennis is free. The rooms are old, but you can live. They cleaned cleanly, so they left a dollar on the bed, and the cleaners made swans for us from towels, sprinkled rose petals on the beds. The furniture was old, but for us, it does not matter. When we go on vacation, we go on vacation, and not count the shortcomings and get hung up on them. There were mosquitoes, so take something like a fumigator. We did not go on excursions this time, because we have been everywhere.
The guide wanted to convince us to buy an excursion to Israel, but we didn’t want to go to another country for that kind of money, in the company of drunk tourists, to holy places. Then the guide wanted to sign up for a free sightseeing tour with a visit to a 2-meter waterfall and numerous shops, but even here we refused. After that, he began to persuade him to sign up for shopping, but knowing well from the experience of previous years that any purchase in stores where the guides take or where they send costs 2 times more expensive - we said that we had no money, after which he lost all interest in us, did not even greet us when we met. Not far from the hotel there is Alara Grand Bazaar - in fact, there are many shops with very annoying sellers. Were there, but did not find anything special, only regretted the lost time. In Turkey, only the lazy will not offer you to buy gold, leather, furs.
Everyone, if you believe them, has someone working in these stores - a brother, godfather, matchmaker, friend. According to them, only they have what you want, and at the lowest prices. Sellers of souvenirs, textiles, aunts in the bazaars who call themselves advertising agents, guides from travel agencies, those involved in water sports, bath attendants, massage therapists, just “good boys or girls” walking along the beach or grazing in front of the hotel offer to buy gold or leather. In short, everything - and who is not lazy. We never deal with such an audience - we don't need problems. Regarding shopping, we contacted Zakhar, whom we have known for many years. He sent a car - they brought it, drove it, in short - the service was flawless. If you are interested - write to google. ru zahar turkey – find its coordinates. On Friday there was a grocery market in Alanya, where we went to buy fruits, but we were not interested in clothing markets - we do not buy things in the markets.
There were many tourists with children - the hotel is ideal for this and our children became friends with many. We think this hotel is good value for money. The hotel has one large pool and two smaller ones, but we spent more time on the beach. We believe that the biggest advantage of the hotel is that it is located almost on the beach. . The city could be reached by regular buses, working until late. We were quite satisfied with this hotel, and for those who want more, we advise you to pay more and relax in Mardan Palace. Thanks to all the hotel staff for a wonderful stay!
