Rested from 03.09. 2013 to 17.09. 2013 Conclusion: 1Strongly save on the kitchen. 2Problems with electricity, elevators often do not work and people get stuck in them! they are very stuffy and there is no air conditioning! 3. It is planned to reduce the staff-animators are already working part-time in dirty clothes in restaurants at the distribution of ice cream and swearing in front of children! 4. They plan to demolish the most beautiful building "ROSE" and leave the most ancient "MIMOSA" It is interesting that the representatives of this hotel do not even look at this site and do not react in any way to criticism or thanks to them! ! ! Look at other hotels! there is even a response to every review! ! here you have it all. YOU CAPTURED YOUR nerd! ! ! they spat on all the vacationers from the big hill! !

We lived in the TROPIC building number 4311 A month before arrival, they wrote to the hotel's email address botanik@botanikhotel. com. tr that we will arrive at the hotel on 03.09. 2013 at about 9 am with a request to decorate the room with flowers and preferably a room on the 5th floor.

since my wife and I have an anniversary of living together and I wanted to surprise my wife! ! ! Three days before departure, I wrote another letter again with the same request! Indicate at the same time their names, surnames. aircraft flight number and voucher number. Both letters were answered by K? rsad YILMAZ that everything will be in order, they will be waiting for us. The room will be decorated with flowers! We arrived at the hotel at 10 am. Leaving the suitcases on the street, they approached the reception desk, gave us the documents, filled out the questionnaires, put on the bracelets and told us to come back in an hour. In the meantime, go to breakfast. No one was waiting for us here and did not know about our arrival! No information about the hotel or a diagram of how to get to the restaurant, no one explained to us! ! ! It’s good that we still chose this hotel on the Internet and saw enough photos on the sites and downloaded the diagram to our phone and had at least some idea about the territory and location of all the buildings! Arriving at the restaurant at about 10-00 there was not much to choose from.
Half of the dishes had already been removed, the spoons were hard to find (for some reason they were in the same place, not at all where the soup or yogurts were) near the hot soups there were small plates the same as near the yogurts (and this was rather the rule in this hotel! ! large plates for first courses are probably in short supply and were placed extremely rarely throughout our vacation. Exactly the same situation with parsley, dill, and other additives to the soup - they very often stood at the very other end of the canteen and sometimes I even had to look for plates all over the canteen! ) After not a big snack, we came to the reception. no number yet. They said to wait until 13:00. We went to the toilet to change. All pictures hang beautifully, mirrors in the corridor, but for some reason it stank very much in the men's room! Not pleasant but true! Let's get to know the area. no questions here! all cheers. very beautiful! Lots of greenery. The pools are all clean.
The sea was worried to go into the water was problematic and there were a lot of pebbles. In the future, we just took a place on the pier, where it is very convenient to sunbathe and swim. True places are occupied there from 7 to 8 in the morning, but this is not a problem. Mattresses are already being taken out by this time, but they are still taken away early, starting from 17-00 to 17-45 everything is already removed. Having sunbathed in the sea, we came again for our promised room in flowers. But you! nothing yet! Come at 14:00. For lunch we are already upset with my wife, I look at all the mood is gone! After some lunch, we came to the reception, we are already looking at everyone who came with us, and even those who came after us took all their things and they have not been there for a long time, they have already been settled. We still don't have a number! It's already 14:30. People are brought in new buses and they are immediately handed the keys to us, but no! We could not stand it anymore and wanted to start a scandal, and then ABOUT THE MIRACLE! we were given the keys at 14.45.
The porter took our suitcases, which stood alone on the street, and quickly ran with them, we could hardly keep up with him. We got into the elevator at the reception desk, they went down with air conditioners and ran after the porter to our Tropic. We went up to the 3rd floor by elevator, already without air conditioning, it was very hot. the porter brought in his things, received his tip, and left. When I entered the room, I saw a small room in which 2 maids and one senior were still finishing cleaning. When they saw us, they quickly left. The room was clean, the beds were flat bedspreads, no swans and the like! And even more so, we did not see the PROMISED flowers! The mood is gone! For some reason, the bathroom was below floor level, and the shower compartment itself was somehow narrow. the handrail gets in the way when the doors are closed, but what if the person is full? one toothbrush for the three of us.

Having hung out our things, we left the room and ran into a married couple with whom we arrived on the same bus. They went to the reception to change their room, their bathroom was covered in fungus! to which they were told that there were no rooms and there would not be another day 2. Although they also wrote to the hotel's email! per month. On the second day, they were still moved to another room and even to another hotel - DOLPHIN DE LUX, which is located nearby. In the evening, it was Tuesday, there was a mini disco in the arena, after which the children performed with their numbers. I liked a girl from Ukraine from Belaya Tserkov with a song about an accordion. Probably the brightest impression for the first day. On Wednesday 04.09 a helicopter landed on the roof of the amphitheater, then I saw how a beautiful big cake was being carried along the central pool, everyone ran and tried to take a picture of it on the go, they brought it to the hall where discos are held in the evening. The people themselves then said that this cake is for those who have been in the hotel more than once.
It is not clear why it is impossible to arrange a congratulation for such guests in front of all the guests? do they do it covertly? Almost every evening, going to the evening mini disco, anyone who passed by the pools located in front of the entrance to the amphitheater could see that the floor was wet, there were even puddles. You can slip easily. no one there wiped the water! Last year we had a rest in PGS KIRIS HOTELS RESOT and there was no such mess there! the entire territory there was cleaned up to 7 o'clock in the morning sunbeds near the pools and on the beach lined up along the string, mattresses were laid out on all the sunbeds ! ! And going to dinner there was like a holiday! ! the entrance to the restaurant is necessarily decorated, there are always figures with watermelons on the tables, live music at the entrance! and every evening it was a feast of the kitchen! not to mention the Turkish night!! ! ! it was absolutely SUPER! ! The whole area was decorated in the morning-balls. flags. The festive mood was created from the very morning. There was nothing like this in Botanica !!! !
Okay let's move on. In the evening there was again a show of local animators. They chose Queen Botanica from among the resting women. The second night in a row was kinda boring! ! ! Obviously the hotel saves on artists and food! ! ! 05.09 Thursday ---- according to the plan Turkish night! Well, maybe today we will be pleased or surprised with something? But no! ! ! The maximum that was decorated was the entrance of the restaurant with a low hut and staff in costumes in front of the entrance with carnations in their hands for women. Nothing out of the ordinary inside! Not a big cake, and it was brought into the restaurant only when more than half of the guests had dinner and left. The only tasty dish for this evening is the chef's chocolate soufflé (which he himself distributed! ) The evening show, like every day, began with a mini disco, with a standard set of songs repeated every day. Then the performance of artists with Turkish folk dances.
Obviously not very interesting, as people began to massively leave the show! Here is such a "Turkish night" in Botanica! The next day, we decided to try to go to an a la carte restaurant, maybe the situation will be better there? I came to the reception at 8-30 and there is already a crowd of people standing near the terminal where the restaurant is being booked. At 9-00 a girl came and began to write down and issue coupons. Enrolled in the Ottoman. I liked the dinner, especially the lamb ribs. white figs and sweet champagne. Everything else is basically the same as in the main restaurant. I liked the service in all a la carte restaurants. The waiters were always attentive to the guests. In the evening there was some kind of FAKE STARS show that I didn’t even remember for anything. after live music by the main pool. 06.09-Friday-again I go to the reception to take a queue (taught by experience. that I need it early! ) I was third in line Signed up for Japanese and at the same time took the last two places there were no more places !!! !

they didn't know what to do with their daughter. Enrollment in this restaurant is possible only for 2 people (as the girl from the reception explained to us), the daughter was taken to dinner at the main restaurant and they themselves were taken to Japanese. What was our surprise - One table (12 people) was generally free and the second also had 6 empty seats!! ! ! ALTHOUGH THERE WERE NO PLACES AT THE BOOKING!!! ! ! How can it be called? ? ? I liked the kitchen too, except for the chicken and veal meat, it was very tough and dry. But the cooking show itself was interesting. The cook happily posed for the camera. In the evening, for the first time in our stay, there was a very interesting show of Kenyan acrobats ! ! SUPER! ! ! 07.09 - Chinese restaurant - liked it. in the evening again rather weak show. extreme roller crew and karaoke by the pool. 08.09 - fish restaurant - liked it. We began to notice that in the main restaurant in the morning the menu is just different options for scrambled eggs and yogurts.
very quick-tempered and unrestrained. Although as a participant in animated shows, well done. 09.09 -Italian restaurant - cool! We decided to go to the nearby Delfin de Luxe hotel. From 16-00 to 18-00 entrance is free (as the guards said at the entrance from the beach) Beautiful territory. no worse than Botanica. only less. beautifully made children's slides in the form of a rock. there are tents on the territory along the alley and the same gazebo. Vacationers met mostly Germans. In the evening after the Italian restaurant show extreme roller and karaoke. The next day there was an enchanting SAMBA show WITH BRAZILIAN GIRLS. THE HALL WAS FULL OF VIEWERS. everyone liked it. The next day there was a Moscow circus, mostly from kids. The next day is a GALA party. Again, the entrance to the main restaurant was decorated with the same tent, and the staff met guests at the entrance, handing out small bars of white and black chocolate. The food was nothing special compared to the rest of the day.
Then the performance at the main pool (almost all the places were already occupied before the start in an hour) The pool was decorated with balls and flowers. I liked the performance of the girls in synchronized swimming. In conclusion, a beautiful fireworks display of the cake and a dance of all the workers (bartenders and waiters) of the Bathing manager read about the cat in the reviews. choosing a hotel was not. The next evening "Caucasian Night" is an interesting performance. On Saturday, our hotel at the evening meal was clearly someone who replaced it. The tables were full of delicacies. there were a lot of red fish. which had previously been seen almost exclusively in a fish restaurant. lamb ribs. shrimp and squid Apparently all the same bosses. which was at the Gala evening, they made a complaint to the manager of the hotel. And this is the first time in 2 weeks there was such a choice. And to our surprise and the last! ! The next day at dinner there was practically no AT ALL and what to choose from ! ! Again tough savings for our money! !
There was a black chocolate fountain at dinner on Monday. delicious! Again, we read in reviews about fantans from black and white chocolate. Only one was lucky to try. What I would like to see in hotels of this level: 1-Meeting guests at the reception with a welcome cocktail for adults and some kind of surprise for the kids (if, after all, the hotel is designed mainly for them). It would be very interesting if the greeters were in national costumes (after all, we come on vacation to Turkey) and every guest would be in the mood from the first minutes ! ! 2-Form with a national bias would not interfere with bartenders and waiters. Well, at least just a Turkish hat. It would also be interesting if the waiters in the a la carte restaurants somehow also looked in accordance with the name of the restaurant and also had Japanese. Chinese. Italian clothes. This would be a feature of, say, this hotel and only added to it even more ratings and those who want to visit here!

3- It is necessary to do something with the animation! Weak! especially their evening shows. Boring! few interesting contests on evening shows. and the programs in their execution are of little interest! People leave the arena to sleep. there are few people on BINGO who are not interested. and buy new clothes for Katya and summer boots for the animation host, otherwise the poor fellow in winter boots will bathe!
