Бывало и хуже... (в Крыму, к примеру) It used to be worse ... (in the Crimea, for example)

I will begin the description of the trip with the purchase of tickets. Tickets were purchased very quickly. Climbed a bunch of sites sent his wife to the company "Bon Voyage" (Donetsk). The criterion was simple: up to $500 per person and all-inclusive. The company had trips to 3 * hotels, but then a super offer came up: "there are only 2 places in a 4 * hotel and only 2 places on the plane, and the price is cheaper than 3 *! So give money faster, otherwise no one will fly anywhere They'll pick you up very quickly! Let's pay in advance! " Well, 4 * for $ 460 per person with a flight - just some kind of holiday! Paid. A ticket from 30.08 to 06.09. 08. That is, 8 days, as it were. True, the departure was at 18-40.2 hours before the flight, it was necessary to be at the airport. OK. Arrived at 16:40 at the airport. The flight was postponed first for an hour, then for another hour... In short, we flew out at 22 something there, in Antalya we were around one in the morning. Thus, the first paid day was donated to the firm.
Representatives of Anex-Tour (two people speaking little Russian) met us at the airport and took us in a minibus to Analya, sorry, Alanya. A distance of 120 kilometers at night would have been overcome faster if the cunning non-Russian comrades had not brought them to some store for half an hour, in which there are no prices on labels as a class. And a bottle of Coca-Cola 0.5 liters cost 3 dollars. Okay, around 4 o'clock in the morning we checked into the room. The room itself - looks decent (see photo). For 4 stars. The only thing that immediately killed me was the lack of hot water (I wanted to wash normally from the road) - I had to wash under cold water. The night passed dreary - it was hot, and the air conditioner, which was turned on for the whole, worked like a fan - drove warm air. In the morning (at 9-30 o'clock) we went out for breakfast. . . But almost everything was eaten before us. . . There was quite a lot of cut chicken sausage left. There was no bread. . .
There were no alcoholic drinks (and non-alcoholic drinks, too). They said they would be there at 10 am. At 10 they began to give drinks. They began to lean on beer (a freebie, however) - a strange thing - after 5 glasses of half a liter - it didn’t even rustle in my head. He approached and asked if it was alcoholic beer - the answer was positive) The wine was over by 12 o'clock... Completely... They said - see you tomorrow... Wonderful all-inclusive. We went to the sea - the sea was awesome (this is not the merit of the hotel). Warm water. The beach is really dirty. Lunch was much richer than breakfast. The truth of the edible was only watermelons and french fries. The first one tasted disgusting. Lots of soy spicy meat. There was practically no natural meat. The staff is very rude. You have to ask for drinks. In Russian, they understand exactly as much as it is convenient for them. The bartender, having asked the girl if she knows German, and having received a negative answer, called her "Shaise", that is, shit. Such is the service.

For the whole week in the room we NEVER cleaned! As experienced people suggested - it was necessary to put a tip on the table! Cool service. On one of the trips to Alanya, we met a local resident (she is from Ashgabat). We found out that she worked in Siedra as soon as it opened after restoration. Prior to this, the hotel, which did not share something with the local authorities, was closed for 5 years until it was bought out by Anex Tour. And it was really four-star before closing. After 5 years of inactivity, it was not even restored. It was reopened in May 2008 and put into operation without a working air conditioner and without hot water. In general, this woman took pity on us. She said that even she, practically a local, could hardly work at the hotel. And it's true - when it's +55 outside, and +35 in the room, you don't feel very comfortable. OK. Move on. Regarding cleaning: for the experiment, they put an apple core in the corridor on the window. He lay 2 (two! ) days,
no one removed it, moreover, someone's unfinished glass of beer was added to it! Then. Entertainment. Very "cheerful and lively". Playing darts with a broken door. For a miss past the target - 10 push-ups. If you managed to win - do not rejoice too much. The winner is thrown into the pool. You laugh. Sun loungers and umbrellas near the pool as after the bombing. Broken, dirty. All this can be seen in the photo. Another entertainment that could be played without animators (darts only with them) is table tennis. With rackets that Forrest Gump also played, apparently (judging by her condition) and a bent table, the ball on which rolls constantly. All this is again clearly visible in the photo. Okay, I won’t bore you anymore, I’ll just summarize
pros:
the hotel is very well located - 30 meters from the sea, spacious rooms, a convenient toilet, 3 swimming pools, a fast elevator - the former 4 * affect.
minuses:
everything else is bad food,
rude staff, dirty.
But!! ! We look at the headline - it used to be worse (meaning not abroad, but rest in their native land. In the Crimea, for example)! And for this money - $ 450 with a flight, I would not have been able to relax like that anywhere. I went to the sea - I got it. The weather was great, the sea too. In general, I am satisfied with the rest. But here the hotel is being discussed - and now I am categorically not satisfied with it and I can hardly advise anyone. Once again, look at the photo.
