Отличный трехзвездочный отель! Great 3 star hotel!

I can say right away that all the people who painted this hotel so beautifully are either travel agency operators or have never been to real five-star hotels! One thing I can say is that the price is really low for five stars, but you also get a hotel for this, which at the moment can forget about them and dream of a maximum of three plus. I rested for two weeks with my wife and a small child and will be happy to share my impressions.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were given a room overlooking the dining room and acc. smells on the balcony (I’ll say right away that there are several ordinary rooms with a sea view in the hotel, the rest are considered VIP), which we naturally refused and we were given another one, thank God on the 2nd floor (thank God you will understand later), with a view of the hills. Hotel rooms resp. his age, namely 1996. Those. require real cosmetic repairs (worn walls, tinted ceilings, bathrooms are a nightmare - in all corners where white silicone can be hastily smeared) and furniture replacement (the chairs are all stained and staggering, the table is painted and repainted several times with beige paint) .
Further, the beach is a completely incomprehensible cover: neither sand nor pebbles, but something in between mixed with dust (when the child played in "this" the dust stood like a column). The entrance to the sea is terrible - every now and then you stumble upon huge boulders in the water, on one of them, with sharp edges, I injured my leg. Therefore, all experienced people entered the water from the pier, which was half under repair. And it's in season!

Pools are dangerous for both children and adults. My child slipped and fell several times on the pool deck! And it was very smart to build a pool with slides - shallow, and without them, respectively, deeper. I beat my back seat against the bottom of the pool several times when I was riding slides, after which I decided to get out of harm's way with this entertainment.
The playground is already in need of repair, in my neighboring yard it is even better and newer.
Billiard room - four tables, two of them for an unknown game (a table without pockets), the other two are dead and crooked like the cues themselves (not a single straight one out of 8! ).
Food is in assortment, but for two weeks I got tired of it because of its monotony, i. e. every day the same thing (the last days I ate through my strength), only dinner sometimes brings something new, for example, they cooked shawarma for us twice (it's really great - I came from Moscow - and here everything is at home : )))). The promised children's menu - no! There is a children's buffet with chairs and tables, and with the usual assortment from the adult table. Those. if your child is under 3 years old, I recommend taking care in advance - what your baby will eat. To top it off, my child was poisoned by ayran, which is there all day long for drinking. Before that, in principle, there were no problems with him, because the child was used to consuming sour-milk in incredible quantities : )

The rooms are cleaned terribly - from... to the first scandal. Namely: at first, the wife complained that she could not find her lipstick, they took it to what she might have lost somewhere, but when the last 3 packs of cigarettes disappeared from the block of cigarettes (which cost 5 dollars in Turkey), here we are got worried and called their guide. Then there were disassemblies at the reception with the convictions: "we can't have this, because it can never be. " In the course of further rest, it turned out that many vacationers drew attention to the "incredible" disappearances from the rooms, but no one began to declare this, citing the insignificance of the loss. And what is most interesting is that right there in the hotel shop they repeatedly sold us cigarettes without excise taxes and European white labels, which indicates that they were purchased in Russian duty free. The question is: where did the Turkish seller get these cigarettes from? I do not dismiss the fact that they are brought to him, but it is also possible that they are sold to him by maids who steal them from silent Russian vacationers.
But in this fly in the ointment there are, thank God, positive aspects, namely, the staff is mostly positive and pleasant (there were, of course, their own black sheep, but they were an insignificant minority), as well as alcohol in any amount from 10 to 0 o'clock. As a former bartender, I can share - the whiskey is good, the cognac is also good, as are other spirits. But the wine is disgusting, as well as, to my great regret, beer (well, I can’t drink vodka early in the morning, like most of our compatriots), from which my wife and I, after a couple of glasses, started a terrible heartburn (I recommend buying Rennie, moreover in Turkey, a pack of 50 tablets costs only 100 rubles. cheap).
As for the cemetery mentioned by everyone, its close location simply pales against the background of the rest of the jambs, especially since it is really not visible if you do not look for it.
What am I, with my Moscow ambition, the Turks themselves, when talking about this hotel, laughed at its 5 stars.

Now about the most important cant of the hotel, which I casually mentioned earlier. Even in the early days, I noticed that there were no carpets on the first floor of the hotel, and the rooms on the first floors were tiled! A few days later I understood why. On September 21 (the most funny thing is that on this day I had a birthday) a downpour covered us, which flooded almost the entire first floor. Namely, the rooms and the dining room, what happened in the basement, where the disco bar and sauna are located, I don’t know, because I didn’t go down there, I had enough show on the 1st floor. As for the disco bar - and to hell with it, in all the time I have never watched it work. As it turned out during this downpour, not only was the hotel built at the foot of the mountains, and the drainage system was poorly thought out, it also had no elevation - the hotel simply stood on the same level with the ground. The only one I felt sorry for that day was the guests of the first floors, who were met at the entrance to the room by floating slippers, and the reception workers, who were almost killed by the angry guests of all the same first floors. Photo report and where possible video is attached : )))
I take this opportunity to say hello to the guys from Moscow, with whom we met on vacation at this hotel and did not have time to exchange contacts. Seryoga, Zhenya, Dimka and all the rest knock on my asya 211373716 and send your soap - I will send you your pictures!
