Good day, my name is Denis. Just a week ago I returned from a vacation from Turkey, namely from the CLUB HOTEL FALCON 4 * hotel. A few days later, I am ready to leave my quite sober review of this "paradise". Are you thinking about staying here? You should read this to the end.
I warn you in advance, this is my subjective opinion and the opinion of the people with whom I was there, most likely it will be relevant for people from 18 to 35 years old. But it will not be superfluous to read, because there will be a lot of interesting things here ...
Let's not pull the cat for a well-known place and divide the entire review into several parts: Positive, Negative, In general.
- Positive:
1) Location.

The hotel is located in a very interesting place, it stands on a rocky coast, 60-100 meters above the sea. You will discover chic landscapes, waves of ideas for rich photos and a beautiful terrace standing right on the cliff, where you can watch the sunsets under the quiet sounds of the Mediterranean Sea.
2)Working staff.
Indeed, having visited many hotels, I can say with confidence that this one has a very good working team. Yes, as they say, not without *****, but these are isolated cases. And in general, I’m talking about the waiters, attendants, etc. , in no case about their bosses and management staff, who, through their fake smile, hide so much hatred for you that it spoils the mood, I won’t go into details.
(I want to express special thanks to two bartenders, who, in my opinion, were the best among all, able to cheer up, keep the conversation going and help you in case of any problem: Batugan and Ataberk, thank you. )
No matter how I try to suck more pluses out of my finger, I can't..

- Negative:
1) NON-club hotel.
To see the frank disappointment of a young guy and his friends who were recommended a place, and the place itself recommends itself as a center of endless fun, it would be enough to look at my face after 2-3 days in this hotel. This is a real nursing home. A contingent of people 40-45+ and small groups of European youth who lay by the pool all day. If it were not for the cheerful company that was formed from us and other guys who were surprised by such a setup, the rest would have gone down the drain. If you can somehow describe a place where, well, in general, there is nothing but food, water and BINGO - this will be the best description for this hotel.
2) Everything is OFF or how not to die in the HOTEL FALCON.
Monotonous menu from day to day, lack of experience and knowledge of the bartenders (except for the above, they will surprise you for sure, but these are two out of a dozen who do not work every day).

But the main trouble is that the food itself is not just cloying, similar to each other and terribly fatty, it is also made from low-quality products, I generally keep quiet about cocktails, don’t drink them! Pure chemistry and dyes. You can only drink pure alcohol, which is neither bad nor good. I felt bad as soon as I arrived at the hotel, but it became better when I returned home and started eating normal food. My friends have completely stopped using anything in the last three days, preferring the nearest Burger King with the words: "We will be healthier. "
3) Hookah.
Under no circumstances do not take a hookah in this hotel. They have a guy who, apparently, learned about hookahs exactly when he was offered a job here.
You will give $ 17-20, but in fact you will not understand what, I’ll say more, even without knowing anything about hookahs, you can go online and try to score it yourself, I’m sure it will turn out much better than this “master”.
4) Lack of a beach.
For me personally, this is not a minus, because I even liked it. I just jumped from the bridge and already 5 meters under my feet, beauty. But as a warning to families with children, I will write about this.
5) The room and its cleaning.
Do not believe about the restyling of the hotel, allegedly carried out recently. The room leaves a lot to be desired, plywood beds with terrible mattresses, broken corners, a broken air conditioner taking on a life of its own, a clogged sink and more. And yes, we asked how to solve these problems, to which we received the answer: “Yes, of course, we will take all possible measures! ". As you probably already guessed, moving out of the room, the problems escorted us on a good journey, but they themselves remained in their places?
I won’t be verbose about cleaning, maybe we were unlucky with cleaners, but the room was always in a terrible state (yes, we know very well ourselves, we left a tip, it didn’t help at all).
6) Terrible internet.
Not that it matters, because we came to rest. But still, sometimes you want to come in, write to someone or climb somewhere, sipping a cigarette by the pool. There is no Wi-Fi, from the word GENERALLY. I have never seen such bad internet.
7) Language barrier.
Most of the staff does not speak Russian, but what is there, there are not so many of those who would know English well. Why did I then speak well of the staff? Yes, because I speak English and have contacted many people, while without this knowledge, you will get into this hotel a lot.
8) The mode of operation of the sea and the pool.

Well, this is absurd in my opinion. The sea and pool close at 19:00.
And okay, the sea, without a beach, after all, is dangerous for those who have already drunk and poorly swimmers, but the pool is 1 meter deep, I can’t understand who was disturbed. My indignation intensified when I found out that in many other hotels all these events go to naught by the hours of 22:00-24:00.
9) Smoking throughout.
I myself am the kind of person who doesn’t smoke in everyday life, but I won’t refuse a cigarette while relaxing or drinking, so for me this is neither a plus nor a minus, but friends, kamon, you need to have respect for other people, I saw many non-smokers who choked on the smoke at every turn. You can say that this is a problem in people, and you will be partially right, but if there were a separate lobby in the hotel for smoking or special areas in each part of it, then I think that we smokers would not lose much, but people who do not like to smoke would get their legal right to breathe the sea breeze, not acrid smoke. Judge for yourself.
- Generally
I can say with confidence that I didn’t write down all the minuses, because I forgot about some points, I’ll remember some later and add it, it doesn’t matter.
To sum up, I can emphasize one thing for sure: this is NOT a hotel where you would like to stay, this is NOT a hotel where you will spend your time comfortably and this is NOT a hotel where you want to return again.
Even the very atmosphere of relaxation and the sea does not save this place, to come here again in general is a special degree of masochism. In terms of price-quality ratio, this hotel broke all possible anti-records in my experience. Worst of all, I don't think any hotel will ever come close to such low rates as this one.

And this review would not be so angry if some people from the staff, I won’t say which ones, during our conversation in the dining room, would not openly confirm my words that the rating on all sites of the hotel is BOOSTED and many good reviews written far from the guests. From here my nail followed in the lid of their coffin. I know that there will be a lot of angry reviews from bots and their bosses, allegedly “we were resting - everything is a lie, it’s super here! ”, some sites will delete my review, this is also not important. After all, it will be posted on all forums and reviews, but it won’t be possible to clean it everywhere, and I hope that this text, which I wrote for an hour and a half, will help someone not to stumble in choosing a nest for their vacation. If you've read this far, good luck and happiness! )

For those of you who are just scrolling down, the bottom line is: DISAPPOINTMENT.
1(for the view)+0.5(staff)+1(for Batugan and Ataberk? )= 2.5 out of 10.
