June 2012
Rested with family from 8 to 22 June 2012.
In short - a very nice decent hotel for people of age and families with children.
Check in:
We were brought to the hotel at 3 am. We had 2 standards booked. We were instantly put on bracelets, given the keys to 2 rooms on the ground floor, and we, happy, immediately went to sleep.
In the morning we had a meeting with the guide, at the same time, at the reception, we asked to change one of the rooms, since it was located next to the path along which people constantly passed, and in general, I don’t like to live on the 1st floor. The Russian-speaking girl at the reception asked me to come tomorrow, as there were no free rooms, according to her. The next day at 9 am approached the same girl. At first she told us that there were no rooms, come tomorrow. Very politely and calmly repeated their yesterday's arguments, and she, albeit with obvious regret, gave us the cherished key to a beautiful room on the 4th floor with direct sea views, absolutely free. By the way, it's not true that Russians are accommodated only on the first floor. We also saw many Germans living on this notorious ground floor.
Number:
Standard rooms are located in the main building: the numbering of rooms starting with the number 1 is on the first floor, from 2 - on the second floor, from 3 - on the third floor, from 4 - on the fourth floor. Number 139 onwards are ground floor rooms with balconies at lawn level. There are two modern elevators in the building.
In the second building there are only family rooms, it is located closer to the sea and further from the road, but due to the proximity of the animation and the restaurant to some rooms, it is noisier there in the evening.
The standard room has a tile floor. All hotel rooms have 2 single beds, there are no rooms with one double bed. A small baby cot or extra rollaway bed is available upon request. There is practically no free space for its installation in the room, only if you put it in the space in front of the window, right under the air conditioner. And since the air conditioner is not regulated by temperature, and blows only for cooling, 18 degrees, many children catch a cold. They start to heat up. Try from +40 to +18. This, I think, is the main drawback of the hotel. We moved the beds as far as possible to the closet and slept under woolen blankets so as not to catch a cold. It is already hot in June, and it is very stuffy to sleep at night even with an open balcony, the noise from the road also interferes. The mule screams start around 4:30 local time, but the hum of the air conditioner drowns out all this noise.
There is a small LCD panel on the wall. 2 Russian channels (1 and planet), many German and Turkish channels. There is a sports channel in German, which broadcast the entire Euro 2012 football championship.
Also in the room there is a dressing table with a mirror, 2 bedside tables, a wardrobe (hangers and shelves are enough), an ottoman, a telephone, a refrigerator. Upon arrival, 2 bottles of water are delivered to your room free of charge. There is no safe. It can be taken at the reception for a fee. We didn't take. Everything was kept in a suitcase under lock and key.
On the balcony there is a table and 2 plastic chairs and a table. The rope for drying was already stretched by the former vacationers. We regretted not taking clothespins. Many had them. Also on the beach it would be very convenient to attach them to towels to an awning to protect from the sun, as all the Germans did.
Bathroom: toilet, washbasin with a shelf, shower, hair dryer, mirror. A little soap, shampoo in a tube. The shower stall is very cramped. It will be difficult for people in the body to squeeze through there. Much more in family rooms. The shower is removable.
Regarding insects, mosquitoes did not reach the 4th floor, but they were on the 1st. True, where are they up to our Russian. He slapped his slipper, that's all.
Territory: spacious, comfortable, very clean. All paths lead to the sea. Thoughtful landscape design. Lots of greenery and flowers. Good playground. Very good swing, where adults can also swing. There are secluded areas where you can sit and look at the sea. There is a tennis court, on the beach there are 2 tables for table tennis. The only bad thing is that there is no canopy over them from the sun, and in the evening they are not highlighted. At night, flashlights are everywhere, security is walking around, it is completely safe.
Beach and pool
The beach, in my opinion, is the best in Avsalara. He has the only blue flag. Spacious, clean soft fine sand. Beautiful sea, smooth sunset, large swimming area. Sunbeds are spacious, under awnings. Urns, walkways, a toilet, several showers and changing cabins. Free sunbeds could be found even after breakfast, but all the best places, of course, were already occupied by 7 o'clock. By lunchtime, a lot of sun loungers were released, and after 16 it was possible to relocate already to 1 line. Mattresses for a fee (1 euro), no towels.
The pool is small and not deep from 1.40m. up to 1.50m. At night it is filtered and cleaned. Vacuum the bottom in the morning. A couple of times we saw how a canister of bleach was poured into it in the evening. There is a small slide that works by the hour. Enough sunbeds with umbrellas.
Nutrition
Heaven is for meat eaters. Lots of variety and quite tasty. Always for lunch and dinner, several types of variously prepared meat and fish. I would especially like to note the lamb stew, meat on the grill, and whole fish fried on the grill. For breakfast: pancakes are baked, fried eggs and scrambled eggs, porridge, muesli, vegetables, olives, jams, cheese, cottage cheese are fried. For lunch: freshly cut vegetables, several types of hot dishes (meat and fish), side dishes, salads, marinades, etc. A couple of times there were mussels. We ate mostly at the snack bar on the beach. There is always one kind of something grilled (meat, meatballs, wings, fish), Italian and Turkish pizza, french fries, baked potatoes, spaghetti, salads, herbs, vegetables, fruits. Dinner everything for lunch, for a few more types of meat or fish, was fried on the street, plus vegetables on a grill or in batter. Salads are cut right in front of you on the street, you can fill them yourself with olive oil from a bottle. Deep-fried donuts. Very tasty stewed vegetables with meat in a pot. A varied sweet table with desserts and various biscuit cakes. At the snack bar, at 5 pm. For an afternoon snack, deep-fried buns and various donuts, a cake. In the morning, gozulme cakes with various fillings (minced meat, cheese, potatoes, greens) are baked in a special gazebo. The snack bar has a very tasty ayran. Ice cream only in the shop on site.
Fruits: always, including on the beach. Watermelon (sugar), oranges, grapefruits, apples. In the evening there were sometimes plums, apricots, peaches. There were no cherries, strawberries, melons. You can buy it in front of the hotel or in the market for a penny.
Drinks: both in bars and restaurants, beer is not bad, poured into branded glasses. If poured on the beach, then in large plastic glasses. There is red and white wine (I didn't drink it). Vodka, gin. The bartender makes cocktails. Lemonade, Schweppes. In Jupi machines. There are many places where you can drink tea and coffee (there is even a branded cafe). Water in coolers and bottles (refrigerator next to the lobby bar). There are no freshly squeezed juices.
Service: well-trained inconspicuous staff, all very friendly and polite. There are no problems explaining in Russian. Everything is clean. The waiters are very accommodating. All are very unobtrusive. There is no harassment towards beautiful Russian women. The cleaners are great. We have a cheerful “do not disturb” sign, so the poor thing sat under the door until the evening to change our linen. If you speak German, you can express your wishes to the hotel manager, who constantly walks around the territory, controlling his subordinates. Also at the reception in the box you can throw a questionnaire.
If you have a date, you can agree to mark it. You will be served a personal table on the veranda, with flowers and rose petals. (By the way, the restaurant is very well located, from everywhere there is a view of the sea). A beautiful cake with candles will be solemnly presented. Will be personally served.
Hamam: very clean, neat, punctual. The prices are ok. You can bargain. I took a course of full body massages with hot stones. It is something. Relax is complete. After a year of work in a huge metropolis, all worries were completely forgotten. They also made me a mask with clay for free every time and gave me delicious apple tea. There is also a small gym at the hammam, where you can go absolutely free.
Animation Entertainment: Here it let us down. The guys are really trying. But as they can, they can. Well, they are not creative, nothing can be done. During the day they hold various sporting events. There is a mini-club. Children play board games and draw. Sometimes kids get their faces painted. Half an hour mini-disco in the evening. A set of standard German children's dance songs. But shows for adults are mostly very weak. Focused on German humor from the waist down. There were no fireworks or fireworks. Even competitions like Mr. or Miss... was only once. 2 times a Turk came with live music (thanks for the black eyes and a tarkan with a lambada) and 1 time for 30 minutes a professional dance ensemble performed, it was like a breath of fresh air. We watched the Euro Football Championship on the big screen in the evening in the bar. It's good that there is a large village nearby, many shops, cafes, there are discos. There are places to go for a walk.
A few words about the tour operator. Sanmar didn't like it at all. Not only that, he replaced Transaero for us (which we booked for) with UTair, thereby “stealing” 2 days from us. So there is also a delay in departure for 7 hours, back for 1 hour. They transported us along with vacationers in Side, thereby extending the way from the airport for another hour, and the driver also managed to get lost. And these half-hour stops at shops at night - without comment.
But in general, we were positively disposed, the rest was a success, I recommend the hotel.
