ВСЯ ПРАВДА ! ALL THE TRUTH !

We had a family vacation at the Sapphire Resort and Spa from July 3.2010 to July 17.2010. The holiday was a success! We booked the hotel in early May. And all the remaining time, before the trip, I read reviews about the hotel and the tour operator Intourist. The reviews are different, but there are many negative ones. It was scary to go, but... I'm starting: the departure from Pulkovo-1 was exactly at the appointed time, the arrival too. Met by transversan guide Svetlana. The whole road to the hotel went smoothly, the guide did not pester with conversations. We were taken to the hotel and handed over to the reception. They settled right away, but on the 7th floor. The view from the room is so-so, but you can live. But we decided to ask for something below. We were shown several rooms, we stayed on floor L 1, room 122 - the view is super! True, they paid extra $ 50, but this is not the case. And that's it, the vacation began. All liked it. The food is great, varied. There is everything. Meat, fish, chicken, vegetables, fruits, alcohol is full, not only local production. Delicious watermelons, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, melons. Afraid to get better. The rooms are spacious, cleaned every day, water is brought to the room every day. In the room TV with 4 Russian channels, minibar. Many write nonsense that there are problems with water, no food, etc. etc. Everything is there. The sea is clean and the pool is warm. It is better to take places near the pool by 6.30. And what else do you need? Animators are working hard. Children are involved, and adults too. Water polo, darst, water aerobics, belly dancing, beach volleyball, etc. 3 water slides. There is a big market nearby. The main thing with what requests you go to the hotel. Special thanks to the hotel guide, from Intourist, Olga Kzakova. Many write that they saw their guide only once and that's it. The question is, why do you need it? We met, bought excursions and that’s it! Our guide was at the hotel EVERY DAY! We always met her, and if we didn’t meet, she called us and asked how we were doing. She didn't force us to buy tours. This is not our first time in Turkey. We sat talking about life. We took a trip to the dolphinarium and to a concert in Aspendos. Yes, and the guides of other tour operators were constantly in the hotel. So the rest was a success, the only negative is a lot of compatriots and small children. The main thing for yourself is to determine why you go on vacation. If you go and look for shortcomings, it is better to stay at home. And so, you can close your eyes to many things and the rest will be unforgettable. Tk that go and do not read the negative reviews, they only spoil the mood before the trip. Hotel SUPER!! !
