турция - страна контрастов Turkey is a land of contrasts

We rested at the end of July. Chose a very long time, looking for a good ***. There were a lot of offers from travel agencies. They chose mostly themselves on the Internet. But they settled on the Grand Troika. We reviewed all the reviews - there were pros and cons. We took a risk (looking ahead, we do not regret it). When they were well-read that they only check in at 14.00, and if earlier, then you have to pay well, then this is not true. We arrived at 7:30 in the morning, and at 9 we were already settled. The rooms are not bad: TV, air conditioning, shower, toilet, balconies, elevator, in general, everything suits. I don’t know how everyone was cleaned (according to some reviews, once a week), but we have it every day. Special thanks to the boy who cleaned our place, as it was very clean, changed towels, and every day the bed pleased us with surprises (flower petals, swans and many other beautiful options).
The food is good. There is always a choice. Desserts are very tasty. There is only one problem - during lunch, dinner, you can’t even take anything out of the restaurant, probably when you are sick and cannot come, then no one will give you anything to take away. By the way, the food is very spicy. We advise you to take 50g during dinner. vodka (for prevention), as sometimes they noticed, during dinner, products that were still for breakfast.
Everything is in order with alcohol: cold beer, tea and coffee always, water, drinks, gin, wine, though vodka is warm. But the bad thing is that you can not take anything with you to the room. In the bar, drink as much as you like, but you can't go there. The bar is only until 23.00, and then it becomes boring, either to go for a walk around the city, in a cafe, or to sleep. Cafes and restaurants are expensive, for example, beer $6, salad $15, a bottle of vodka $25, a pack of cigarettes $5.

We do not recommend going to the sweet factory, as it is very expensive there. If you can buy a pack of Turkish delight for $1 near the hotel, then there it is $8, halva is $2, there is $15. So, if you buy sweets and souvenirs, it is better to go to the markets or the bazaar near the hotel.
The big minus that we did not like is the animation. It started from 21:00 to 23:00 and there was an hour of entertainment for the kids, but every day is the same (from the 3rd day we already knew what tune and competition would be next). For adults, competitions that were very straining and 3-4 people participated in them, for the rest of the vacationers, this is not particularly interesting. The reason was the girl animator. But fortunately her visa expired and finally we started to relax normally.
In general, we had a good rest in Troika. For those wishing to relax in a 3 *** hotel, we recommend.
