Долгожданный отдых Long-awaited vacation

I really want to share my impressions about this hotel with future tourists. In Antalya and specifically in Lara, we rested 5 times, all the time in 5 * hotels. ((Topkapi Palace 2 times (after the second one they stopped going there), Barut (super, but expensive), Titanic (I liked it very much)) We go to Lara because we combine vacations with global shopping once a year ("shopping" in Migros). We are a small town and this is our only opportunity. Well, not about that. The choice fell on Melas, because the hotel is new and the price is very democratic. We arrived at the hotel at 11 am and we were immediately settled in the room (we were lucky, for a week later I watched as tourists waited for check-in for 1.5 hours in the lobby). The room is ordinary. Standard for 5 *. The only thing new is plasma on the wall. In the bathroom there are no cotton swabs, no cotton pads, no hygiene bags. Only shower gel and shampoo. we were settled on the 1st floor. There was no view from the balcony. Literally 1.5 meters away, a huge new hotel is being built, so there is a construction site right in front of you (you can’t sit naked on the balcony, the builders are not asleep). But regarding the construction, I want to note that the construction work has already been completed, finishing is underway, so there is no noise or dust. Well, okay, we are not pretentious people, we didn’t change the number, we decided that it would be even better, there would be a shade. We went to the beach. And here the first surprise awaited us. There were no mattresses on the sun loungers. If they say, you need it, take it and bring it. or wait for the boy when he is found and brings everything to you and opens the umbrella. The beach is poorly cleaned. There are cigarette butts everywhere and everything. The path along the beach (wooden so that the legs do not burn and it is clean) is only one, and then 3 meters and in the center. So a step to the right, to the left and along the sand, the child cannot go barefoot. Farther. Animation is a separate song. It's like it doesn't exist at all. She is dead. The mini club is open from 10.00. 15-12.00 and from 14.30-18.00 Where to put the child at other times is unknown. They do it randomly and without enthusiasm. At least these were still visible, the rest "came out of the shadows" only at 12.00 for games in the pool (10 minutes) Evening shows are a complete pipets. Terrible selfishness. After the first 2 times, they stopped walking. Went only on invitations (yoga, Turkish night, synchronized swimmers - standard set). The slides on the pool are small, some kind of children (correctly some man said in his review, compared to neighboring hotels - crap) The pool is small, but enough for everyone. The best thing was the food. Fed for slaughter, all sorts of different fruits. European soups, porridge in the morning. All sorts of fruits, cakes and pastries. Ice cream without limits. Service is good, waiters are attentive. Suitable everywhere, and at the pool bar. In general, there are no complaints. The main contingent is the Germans. Percent 90. The waiters speak German better than Russian. Another little disappointment - to change the beach towels you have to pay 1 euro. There is no such thing in all of Lara. Although this was indicated in the comments to the hotel. One more. My husband had an earache on the 3rd day of his stay. We called for insurance and they sent us, wherever you think, to the doctor's office, which is located in the same hotel, in which there are no instruments. Previously, they were always taken to a normal hospital. Sterile, with staff and tools. Doctor in Russian not a word. I had to invite a guide to understand something. Prescribed medicines that had to be BUYED. In conclusion, I can say that we did not bathe and rested to the fullest (as best we could), but we will not go to this hotel again.
