Недостатки Лонг-Бич Disadvantages of Long Beach

Rested in Long Beach from 08 to 15.05. 2011 with a child of 4 years. We were not lucky with the weather. It was raining and it was cold. Out of 7 days, sunbathing fully and enjoying the warm sun turned out to be only 2 days. One day we did not get out of the hotel, since it is huge and there is something to do. Now about the advantages: there are many pools, and most importantly, there are shallow pools for children. I especially liked the one near the Villas. There is also a separate bar where you can calmly eat ice cream without a queue. True, you will have to communicate in English, because Germans mostly settle in distant villas. Among other advantages: slides, including playground, football field, tennis courts, children's club with trampolines, children's animation in the evenings. And now for the disadvantages. About the main restaurant: monotonous food, fruits: apples, oranges, pears. I compare with Stella Makadi 5 * (Egypt), because I was in Turkey for the first time. So, compared to Stella, the Long Beach kitchen just rests. If in Stella there were crabs on fire, and pigeon legs, and pizza, a sea of ​ ​ u200bu200bfruits, a huge selection of coffee * you like instant, you like to brew it yourself), then here you won’t stay hungry, of course, but you won’t be spoiled with variety. The only exception is sweet: there is something to eat. Regarding the rooms: we had a room with a view of the River Villas, very nice, comfortable. There are no complaints about the comfort of the rooms, but there are some complaints about cleaning! Cleaned sucks and not every day. If you don’t leave a tip, then the maximum they will do is fix the bed, but they won’t change it !! ! For a week, the room was cleaned well 2 times, but only the minibar was replenished regularly, and then one day they forgot, I had to take some water from the restaurant. They even forgot to hang all the towels, I had to run around asking for what they forgot to give. The room safe was blocked. I contacted the receptionist. They said they would come at 4 o'clock and do it. As a result, we came to 5, and then I had to call and strongly remind myself of myself. As a result, the safe was repaired by 17-30. total 1.5 hours of sitting in the room for the sake of the safe. The beach is a separate conversation. Terribly dirty. There is no sand as such, something gray and incomprehensible, a lot of sticks and garbage. No one cleaned or cleaned anything. In front of my eyes, a man, a cat, walked around collecting plastic dishes on the beach, took my cup of unfinished coffee, just poured the rest on imaginary sand and went on !! ! Beach towels are short, cover half of the lounger. And if you take into account that the mattresses on the sunbeds are dirt and nothing more, it was unpleasant to lie down in the sun, since the rain then shed a good one, even though I washed the beach chairs and the mattresses on them a little. If you want to see a clear sea in Long Beach, then it will not work. The fact is that near the beach a river flows into the sea and the water mixes, especially after rain - the sea just becomes brown from the river. But these are the disadvantages of the terrain, you can’t get anywhere on the river. The animation is good for kids only, I didn’t see anything interesting for adults in the evening. The tennis court is free, but only if you have your own rackets and a ball, otherwise 10 euros / hour. They also offer to take them to stores in Alanya free of charge. We went to Atex Textile. The tour is interesting only from the point of view of traveling to hotels by bus and contemplating the area, and the prices in Atex are the same as in Russia in retail stores. It is better to take a minibus and go to the market in Ananya. Our friends bought 8 things for $70. As a summary: you can go to this hotel, but once. I also recommend visiting a Turkish restaurant on the beach a la carte: very modern Turkish cuisine. I personally liked it.
