A ruined vacation for adults, for children more or less ..

Written: 14 july 2010
Travel time: 29 may — 12 june 2010
Who does the author recommend the hotel to?: For families with children
So, for the first time I went with a child to Turkey.
Here are my impressions. (If not too lazy to read of course))
1. Flight.
In principle, a big thank you to Transaero for delivering me and my daughter safe and sound to Mother Russia.
There was nothing to worry about the flight. They fed deliciously. The children were happy. I would like to advise flight attendants one thing: love your job and do it as it should be, and leave your bad mood at home if possible! . It is not necessary to growl at children. Yes, and at least a duty smile can be fastened to these 3 hours of flight.
Landing in Antalya, of course, brought some inconvenience, and in particular, it hurt very much in the ears, the children in the cabin howled, moaned, cried, asked for help. . I guess that's how a lot of people feel when it comes to landing in the mountains. I admit it was painful enough. I don't know why, but back from Antalya to Moscow we didn't experience anything like that.

Unforgettable, of course, was the time when the plane took off into the sky in the direction of Turkey on a fairly cloudy day, and a few minutes later we were above the clouds, seeing an endless snow-white desert filled with sunlight, a sparkling endless space. . It's indescribable! !
I was afraid to fly in principle. But after one of the flight attendants said that she had been flying for the 4th year almost every other day. . )) I swear, my heart has calmed down.

2. Tour operator.
Our tour operator was LAGINA. The bus at the Antalya airport, which was supposed to take us to the hotels, was surprisingly full! This is taking into account that it is not 15 minutes to go to Alanya. . What is asked for business? ? We are three adults and three children. . 3 hours to stand in the aisle? ? Somehow we found seating. They made room. . The next adventure was that the driver, taking tourists to hotels, IN PRINCIPLE did not know the road well. He got lost. We drove for over 3 hours!
, exhausted and tired children, whining: Well, when will we get there, mom? ? ! And I especially remember the phrase of the travel agent “do not forget to thank the driver” ....pipets. !

3. Accommodation: Arrive at the hotel. The fact that this is not a 5-star hotel, I felt immediately. . Before leaving, I read reviews about him and they turned out to be more than plausible. Although I didn't believe it until the very end. We were offered to immediately move into a bungalow, naturally, claiming that there were no places in the main building. Neither money nor persuasion helped. For more than an hour they tortured us, in the end, 2 minutes before 24.00 we didn’t even get hot soup, that is, the children were left hungry. These Turks are just crazy. If there is such a dislike for Russians, well, not all Russians are drunk from dawn to dusk! In general, I settled in a bungalow simply because the child began to cry and I no longer wanted to torment him. Subsequently, of course, I did not regret that I settled in a house overlooking the sea.
It's quieter there, the air, the pines, BUT:

- they settled us late at night, most likely they did not have time to clean the room, I understand. . But imagine when you want to take a shower after the road, for example, but there is not a clean towel, and in addition, in the shower, the current clicks at the valve and the water from the shower cabin is all on the floor. . because there are gaps. ! Tin. . I didn't like touching the faucets on the sink, you know. . I generally found a cover (or rather a blanket like a terry sheet) with traces of menstruation.
Drinking water in the room at the rate of a BOTTLE OF WATER PER PERSON/DAY! ! And sometimes they forgot to give it out at all.
Can you imagine this whole nightmare? ?
The next day, of course, they cleaned the room, put flowers, clean towels. . and after such a tired night, the earlier sunny morning overshadowed all the nightly problems of the past day. .

4. Nutrition.
As for the food, of course, everything suited me.
None of us had any poisoning, the choice of dishes is quite large and varied. Sausage like theirs, I think even our dogs will not eat it) Oh, it looks creepy. . There was everything and a lot, acres of fruit. . Of the fruits, there were only apples, oranges, and, well, melon-watermelon. . , which the Turks themselves tried not to eat)) (in our country, these melons are also ripe not earlier than August)
Of course, you need to get up early if you want to get at least an omelette. . There is no children's table, no juices. They are replaced by a kind of UPI. . Well, is it really difficult to put a juicer and sell juices? Mu were ready to buy them. An no. Our children ate exclusively gritty fried sausages with ketchup and pasta. You ask for something alcoholic in a bar for the second time, for example, they look at you so much that you don’t even want to ask for anything. Is it right to feel wrong for your own money? ?
One day we were returning from the market late and it was 2 minutes to 12. The beach bar MUST serve until 12.00 at night. We were denied simple boiling water! ! they wanted to make tea for the children, they really wanted to drink. NOT ALLOWED!
Prices in Turkey: June 2010: cigarettes $4 a pack, strawberries and cherries $3.

5. Beach.

I don’t know, many write that there are not enough places on the pier, the descent is not very good. . We liked. Exactly 100 steps to the pier and you are in the sea. SEA - INCREDIBLE! Oh clean! Near the shore there are crabs in stones, on the shore there are turtles of different sizes. But there are snakes, and poisonous ones! And most importantly, we took a picture of one, showed the Turks in the hotel, and they assured us that they didn’t have any snakes here. . bastards. One was found in the water park! ! We saw 3 different snakes in 2 weeks stay! And they are all poisonous. Crap. Well, children can be warned? After all, they (children) climb everywhere, and these abominations were found precisely in the places where people were located. One snake was yellow. Thank God everything worked out. .
But can you imagine that at night we sleep with an open balcony door in a bungalow that protrudes a little from the ground! Not scary? ? We were scared. For the children.
10 minutes from the hotel there is a very good wild beach, which we went to every day. Pts comfortable entry into the sea. True, our children could not be pulled out of the pools and the water park.

6. Water park.
The only plus of this hotel. We, who have everything inclusive, could not get out of there at all. Visitors paid $ 27 each (swimming from 10 to 16 in my opinion). We went there for the first 5 days. Then the children got tired). Yes, and we were somehow more comfortable at sea. Slides really abound, but one girl tore an expensive swimsuit, moving out with one of them. See problems at the joints. .

7. Animation.
THE FUCKING! - at first, then it flowed smoothly into a la GUM CLUB. It was fun.
Witty scenes, but the animator warns that it is not for children) Many thanks to the wonderful young guys from Tbilisi Beka, Lika, her brother Gika, Turk Murat ! ! ! ! Stunningly beautiful and kind guys, very plastic - you can't take your eyes off. : )) And they did their job conscientiously.
The main animator Sergio is a very temperamental person, a real Turk) The only thing I didn’t like was that he almost “licked” Turkish children, and some disdain was felt for the Russians, once he even put the children in height. . well, you understand.
Well, God be his judge. Rather, "In sha Allah. " . )

8. Conclusion.
Of course, you can write a lot more Pts, but I will finish. In conclusion, I would like to say that, of course, I will not go to this hotel for the second time, and I do not advise you to spoil your vacation. I didn’t listen and went) It turns out that sometimes Pts even need to believe the reviews of tourists. .

Despite all the force majeure moments, my child, who had a rest for 2 years in a row in the Crimea on Azov, of course, is eager to return to this hotel. Our children were happy. I flew on a parachute, which I highly recommend to everyone. . Great feeling and not scary at all! . ) One minus (again! ))))) 1 parachute flight photo costs 5 bucks, if you put them on a disk (and the photos are really super-quality), then 30 bucks comes out. WE HAVE BEEN FUCKED) I brought a clean blank to Moscow. . like this. So, check at the reception or somewhere else. . ((
I am more than sure that there are more friendly and comfortable hotels in Turkey than this “solid kick-ass” called =WOTER PLANET=

9. Advice to hotel employees: IT'S TIME TO GROW SERVICE, MY DEARS!
Yes, and the furniture in the hall would not hurt to change, all stained. . a shame.
What are the 5 stars? ! ! 3 and then with great tension! With this attitude, you will alienate all the tourists and entertain yourself.
