Ботаник -рай Botanist Paradise

The hotel is 90 km away. travel time is almost imperceptible. views outside the window, guide stories. And here is the entrance of "Botanik word paradise". No one came out for things: (. But in the hall they were greeted like family. At the reception Very nice, without excessive sweetness, they issued, asked for wishes by numbers. We were worried that they could not give nearby. (We were two families. bribes were settled: in the same building, on the same floor, but on opposite sides of the corridor.
The hotel from the first steps fascinates with its territory. Everything is blooming (I remind you: the end of August). So much greenery - you can't see the sky. I think: "no, this is not Turkey!? ". I went out to the sea - I look - the Mediterranean "maybe Turkey after all? ".


The rooms are not large, standard (27 meters) furniture is good, new. elderly only sofa by the balcony (but clean and not sagging). Sofa. by the way, they used it only for folding their everyday things and towels. The central air conditioner works properly and programmatically. the bathroom is exceptionally clean and comfortable.
My youngest took a bath a couple of times in the evenings. (it's his hobby).

The temperature outside is 35. But you don’t feel vegetation under the shade. Three large and clean (!!! ) pools, a couple of small ones for children, plus pools near the slides (there are five of them - Gorok). Well, the sea, of course. The beach was sandy, "Crimean" pebbles were poured on top. But there is still sand around the edges. everywhere the paths are laid wooden with carpet; and between sun loungers, and to the sea, and to the bar. You want closer to the center on pebbles, you want to the edge on the sand. It's like who's kids love. For example, mine wore pebbles on the sand. The Baltics even expressed dissatisfaction: "We want your children not to play with stones: 0". We culturally answered that their desire is law for us : ), and the children began to wear sand on pebbles. : ))

Somewhere I read about the problem with towels, yes, it's true : ). At first they took us $ 1 at the reception, in return they gave us cards. These cards will give you towels.
we wanted to get these same towels somewhere at 18-30. so we were told that the issue of towels is open until 17-30. I had to receive it the next day. But then we broke away and changed them endlessly: as soon as we pass by, we change them right away, if we don’t forget, or if we’re not lazy. (By the way, $$ was later returned upon departure, it's like a deposit. It's incomprehensible).

We ate a lot and tasty. Almost around the clock. and in the main restaurant and bars on the territory and all sorts of afternoon snacks and snacks there during the day near the pools. For breakfast, the truth is not all I liked personally. But it's who's used to what. My companions didn't seem to complain much. Sausages and sausages, as always in Turkey, are not to our taste. So any sausage, if pork is not added to it, will seem fresh. What are Muslims to do?
but besides sausage, there is plenty of meat for every taste.


Drinks: without alcohol - standard cola, yupi, juices, etc. - I don’t know the names.
pleased ayran he was always (this is the type of kefir in the east (for those who do not know)). separate bar with natural juices. Constantly seven kinds. And every day a couple of juices change. there are natural teas: if chamomile, then chamomile is a strawberry, so strawberries - without a lawsuit. fragrances.

Alcohol: beer, (good) rest local, quality like ours inexpensive. (Agree, and with us, if cognac is $ 20, then it’s decent, and if five, then so-so. ) I tried everything a little bit. I am a non-drinker.

Entertainment was plentiful. For children especially. daily animation was carried out with an effort. either the tourists are inactive, or the animators are tired. To tell the truth, I don't know when they sleep. around the clock in sight. so it's forgivable. excursions are standard. Optional. You can order from a guide (more expensive, ) you can outside the hotel from local tour organizers. It's a little cheaper, but then the contingent is not guaranteed.
you can get on an excursion to a German-English-Italian group and listen to an "interesting" story in the corresponding language and replenish your knowledge about history, sights, etc. : ) choose for yourself.

Shopping: as a rule, they are taken to nailed shops. (where the organizer drops interest). These are usually expensive shops. do not be shy to walk around the neighboring ones, then it is easier to bargain on the road. Although there are still no cheap prices in the resorts (unless you get to a sale). Here you need to decide in advance why you are going. Relax or go shopping. here, even if they are taken to the factory from hotels, it is still more expensive than, say, in Istanbul From the same factory.

Yes, I will also say do not order individual excursions from guides - it turns out to be several times more expensive. In this case, the program may change, but not in the direction of increase. Moreover, not so many people go on excursions.

And besides, what difference does it make to you: six people in a minibus or nine?

Bottom line: I really enjoyed my vacation. Probably the best hotel on the coast. The Turks say "Nerd is super, " Dolphin "is the first, " Botanist "is the second. " That's because the Dolphin is newer and the rooms are bigger. But there is no such botanical garden...
