Отличный экономичный отдых Great economical vacation

The three of us rested at the end of July 2009. Immediately about the sore of the previous tourists: resettlement. There were problems with the places in the hotel, so we flatly refused to take the $20 offered by us. We needed two rooms next to each other: DBL and SNGL, but on the day of our check-in, this was not possible at the hotel. They began to offer us a choice: DBL in this hotel, and SNGL to choose from: either for 2 days in Corvus B, or a room at the neighboring Gold Sufran 4 * hotel (an excellent hotel, focused exclusively on Europeans) - for the entire stay, or a room in Monte Carlo in a 3-bed room for 2 days, after showing us the room. We chose the latter and lived for 2 days on the 6th floor in a 3-bed room, then after 2 days we were moved to the 3rd floor and given two rooms next to each other. About the rooms: who was in Europe in 3 * knows what the rooms look like, these are no different from Europe. Whom it bothers, take a 5 * hotel right away, so that later you don’t wince and say fuuuu. An ordinary room, small, it would be nice to update it, of course, but it has everything you need: your own air conditioning, 2 Russian channels, a balcony overlooking the hotel and a piece of the sea (because. the sea is 90 m through the underpass), cleaned daily, clean, I still didn’t understand how often the towels were changed, but in my room they were always white and crispy. The hotel area is small (therefore, the hotel cannot get more than 3 *), but clean. The restaurant was washed every day with soap, the pools were cleaned, the dishes were clean (I especially draw your attention to this, because this is a big plus for this hotel, and for hotels of this kind in Turkey it is generally very rare). The sea is nearby, the beach is small pebbles, but in some places there are large stones. The sea is clean, the beach is also cleaned daily. We did not take sunbeds and umbrellas, we lay on pebbles, but we spent most of our time at sea on a mattress. There is a bar on the beach where you can always take water (Turkish drinks for free) and buy chips and other nonsense. Fed just to kill. The food is varied and tasty (although I am selective about food, but I liked a lot of things). Those who complain about the lack of meat, I warn you right away that they only give turkey, chicken and fish. On the way to the hotel, our guide warned us that due to the crisis, meat is now served equally rarely, regardless of the star rating of the hotel. We ate. Each time they said that it was impossible to eat like that, but there was always something that you definitely need to try. Of the fruits, only melons and watermelons. Wine and beer are absolutely normal, the beer even has the color of amber, and not what you would have come to mind. The wine is white, always cool and very tasty, I have not tried red, I really liked white. The bar took to try rakia - with ice and soda, I also really liked it. But paid cocktails did not like at all. Both are red (either strawberry or cherry, it's hard to understand, one dye and flavor). Local drinks turned out to be better and tastier. They brought it from the Baileys airport, but they didn’t drink it, in such a heat they didn’t feel like it at all. I did not say that they took a ticket to Natalie Tours. Well done, everything is clear, no complaints. There was a small unpleasant aftertaste from communicating with a local guide (Nikolina, a native of Moscow). All her benevolence suddenly ended abruptly when she realized that we would not take tours from her: ((. And she just fell silent. After a minute of silence, I could not stand it and asked: do you still have any questions or wishes for us? She answered: no! It was very pointedly and for some time an unpleasant aftertaste remained in the soul. Before leaving, Nikolina took revenge on us a little - she did not send a fax to the hotel with the departure time, she probably expected that we would start calling her, writing sms. But at the hotel very good service, all the hotel managers did it for us, after which Nikolina called the room and said that we would be picked up from the hotel at 4:30 (forgetting to say the time of departure and arrival). it is indicated on the return ticket, and according to the time of departure from the hotel, it corresponded to the time of departure. The bus came for us exactly at 4:30. Now about excursions: you can buy at every step at street agencies. They are much cheaper, but there is a small but. . . If you want to take to take a long-term excursion (for example, Pamukkale), it is better to take it from a guide, because. in a street agency they will charge you 2 times cheaper, but they will forget to mention additional mandatory expenses during the trip itself (lunch - $ 10, entrance - $ 15, bathing in hot springs - $ 10, total 35, which street sellers are silent about or they say like: take money with you just in case, if you want to swim in the Cleopatra pool, you will have to pay separately (by the way, it costs $ 18). Thank God we had enough money with us, which cannot be said about others. But the guide allows you to use services on credit, and upon arrival at the hotel she will need to return the money. Our roommates took an excursion from the guide - diving. were very satisfied, because the equipment and outfit were new, and the guides are attentive. But it's up to you where to buy excursions. In addition to Pamukkale, we also took rafting (the one that is located in Manavgat, and not the one offered by the guide - in the local river, shallow and uninteresting). We were very pleased. Although the local guides were here, they were also attentive friendly to everyone and very cool, so there are no complaints about them, and for the second time I am completely delighted with rafting. This is the tour that you need to take in Turkey in the first place. The same can be said about the bath. Do not regret $20-25, but do yourself a favor and do not deny the pleasure of taking a steam bath, foaming. make peeling, mask and of course massage. Somewhere else in the reviews, I read about the perseverance of Turkish men, even about debauchery and other nonsense. Girls, if you yourself do not want adventures for yourself, no one will force you to find them. If you know a couple of phrases in English: "no" and "I don't want to", no one will be imposed on you. But keep in mind that men in Turkey are hot, they will promise mountains of gold, quite decent offers like: take a walk in the park, go to the fortress - in the heart of Aalania or sit in a restaurant), remember that they still hope for more, even if they prove otherwise or just make a harmless suggestion. If you do not want to get into situations where you have to pay for it, it is better to refuse immediately. Nobody will force you. In addition, they are not touchy people, they will continue to smile in the same spirit. I wish you all a good time. I tried to give an objective assessment. By the way, we left our feedback with gratitude in the hotel guest book, because the hotel staff was just on top. Marina.
