Last year we were on vacation in Vime Helya 4 * (Monastir), this year we went to Turkey for the first time. Impressions: Turkey loses to Tunisia in all respects and does not pull on the "Tunisian" four stars. So the cons:

1. There are a lot of Russians, and this always creates an unhealthy hype: occupation of sunbeds on the sea almost from five in the morning (at the same time, they occupy three sunbeds on the sea and three by the pool, as a result, most of the sunbeds on the sea are empty all day), climbing over the fence separating the sea from the hotel, taking the restaurant by storm, packing kilograms of fruits into bags, and at the same time SUCH conceit when communicating with waiters and bartenders, such raspaltsovki!
2. The beach is small, and the entry into the sea is rocky, right in the middle is a large stone, it is very easy to break your legs on it. The sea is clear and clean in the morning, but in the afternoon it is already agitated and dirty.

3. Animation is small-town and uninteresting, discos are rare and boring.
4.
The food is ok but not varied. I recommend tuna, pancakes, pizza, boiled tongue, fried small sardines, flan type dessert.
5. The "Water attractions" tent is just a scam: we paid $40 for a 13-minute parachute flight, we were stuffed like cattle full of a boat, and at the pace of a waltz they launched us into the air for 7 minutes. Although the experience is unforgettable.
5. It’s not that I didn’t like the excursion to Alanya, but there’s nothing special to see, and a walk on a yacht resembled a barn afloat, where you are offered to wallow in the mud on old deck chairs or sit on the deck at greasy tables. The team pays attention only to the girls who are filmed openly.
6. The sun is cruel, you can burn out in half an hour. Sunbathe in the shade for the first two days!
7. There are simply no representatives of Tez-Tour at the airport upon departure.
eight.
The Turks seemed hypocritical, hiding the arrogance of the heirs of the Ottoman Empire behind poppies of insincere hospitality, and (excuse the vulgarity) smart-ass.

Pros:
1. A wonderful girl cleaned the room very well, without a tip, every day, she sculpted fans, swans and hearts. It was not a pity to thank such a person before leaving. On the beach, the main Mustafa, a wonderful Turk, very cheerful and polite.
2. There are no insects, and you can lie quietly on the beach without jerking your heels and hands.
3. You do not need to go far into the sea to find the depth.
4. Across the road is the center of the village of Aksalar, there are many shops and cafes. Prices are moderate, you can bargain. Wonderful sherbet was taken at $ 13 per 1 kg.
5. Tez-Tour representatives at the hotel were always on time.

TUNISIA WON IN ALL PARAMETERS - for the same money rest is a class higher.
