Ялихан Yalikhan

Recently arrived from Yalikhan, there were 2 weeks. The beach is super, the rooms are clean, modern decor, all rooms have a 32 inch flat-screen TV (which is not found in other hotels in this category). The kitchen is good, the food is delicious. Unlike previous years of rest in Turkey and other hotels, there is a lot of meat and not only chicken, no soy. Once a week, alternately: Turkish cuisine and Chinese. On the day of Chinese cuisine, boiled crayfish, sushi, Chinese noodles were served somehow in a special way , three huge baked turkeys, the fish is very often and quite tasty: trout, tuna and all kinds of fried (not small as in other hotels). Fruits of good quality, in June: watermelons, melons (sweet), peaches, cherries, plums. Beer excellent Tuborg is especially tasty in this hotel. In general, with regard to food, everything is very good. The waiters are very polite, helpful. They did not give tips to anyone and everything was fine, except for the person bringing the suitcase to the room. he literally grabbed this suitcase and carried it, and then did not leave the room for a long time, waiting for a reward, pacing from one corner to another and looking at the ceiling, walls and other objects in the room. The rooms in the hotel are different, there are more spacious, there are smaller ones. First we were settled on the 7th floor, never settle for the 1st and 7th floors. On the 7th floor there is a thin roof and no air conditioning, even working around the clock, can overcome the heat in the room, and there are no fences on the 1st floor, it goes straight to the path, along which all hotel guests pass and your things are also available to everyone, which, for example, are dried on the so-called balcony. And in the rooms on the 1st floor, instead of a normal shower cabin, there is only a tray and a curtain and all the water on the floor. The advantage of the 7th floor is a larger room with a bathroom and new plumbing. floor, and the view of the sea is also super there. Through all sorts of tricks and personal acquaintance of our compatriot whom we met on the way to the hotel, with the hotel staff, we were nevertheless moved to the 2nd floor. In short, there are a lot of Germans in the hotel, fewer Russians. The German public is usually elderly, but invigorates. You can see them on the beach sunbathing topless, this is the picture...
I was surprised: soap and shampoo are put in the room 1 time per stay, water in the refrigerator is also 1 time, but 2.5 liters.
Next, you need to order shampoo at no extra charge, and you have to pay for water. That's such a savings.

There is an electric kettle in the room which we never used.
At the reception they speak only Turkish and before asking anything you think a hundred times, but is it worth it? They won’t understand anyway, or they’ll pretend that they don’t understand. When they tried it in German, they didn’t understand either, nodded their heads and that’s it. There are a couple of people who understand, but we didn’t come across them at the right moment.
For three days I asked the girls from the reception for shampoo, explained on my fingers, they wrote down the room number and that's it. The shampoo was put on 4 times. But it was already a matter of principle.
So let's sum it up. In my opinion, you can go to the hotel because: a great beach, the rooms are good and even original, the staff of restaurants and bars is polite, the food is good, the TV is like at home, the air conditioner works fine. Well, perhaps that's all.
Yes, there is no animation, but for me this is also a plus.
I will not go to this hotel again, I like to explore new ones.
I was in the neighboring Ruby 5 stars, it is 600 dollars more expensive, but if you already go, then Yalikhan is better and cheaper.
