I note that this is my second visit to Venice, and to Turkey 7. I always rested in a hotel not lower than 5 stars, I liked the coast of Lara-Aksu-Kundu with a sandy beach, bottom and close location to the airport.
So, in order. Settlement. Arrived at the hotel at 20-45. Dinner is there until 21-45, so leaving the things at the reception, right at the counter and giving the passport to the employee, we went to eat. Who said that in the evening the staff does not speak Russian? maybe it just happened? we were kindly offered to go to eat, leaving things and documents, they told me not to worry, even if we linger there, that is, at dinner, they won’t kick us out so that they can eat in peace. Prudently, 20 dollars were invested in the passport. After dinner and going to the reception in broken Russian, we were told that they "replaced" the nomar, they gave us in the San Marco building on the second floor overlooking the tower and the pool. I mean, they gave a pont that they "worked out" the tip. They said to go up to the room and if there is no baby bed, call here and inform about it, they will bring the bed. I already knew where to go, so we got there without people seeing us off, so it was faster. There was no third bed, which was immediately reported, they waited for the luggage, the porter, having received a dollar, also asked if everything was fine, again in Russian, answering that there was no third bed, for his part, he also dialed the reception, spoke in Turkish and addressed knm said that the guys are installing a bed for someone else, and then they will come to us. we didn’t wait, we went to the lobby bar, where as soon as they saw us, a quick employee from the reception shouted to the whole room whether everything was fine with us and, having received an affirmative answer, again said that the bed would be installed now. My heart was somehow relieved, and then after reading the negative reviews before departure, to be honest, I began to regret that I decided to return to Venice. However, I will say right away that I never regretted returning. Still, I will continue to trust my intuition, and not the horror stories from the reviews.
Of course, these assessments are all subjective, for example, we did not bother about the fact that Pepsi wine was brought for lunch = dinner for a long time. We ourselves walked and it was not difficult for the bralins, especially since I didn’t watch the queue, you come up - they pour you right away, and when you come to the table, the child ordered a drink from the waiter and the drinks are already standing. There are a lot of waiters, maybe sometimes it was difficult for them to cope, there was the only evening when there were a lot of people, but it was a force majeure: the plane to Kemerovo broke down and tourists, already those who should fly away, were brought to us by 2 buses for dinner and for the night. Personally, this did not cause irritation to me, but respect for the organization of recreation. I talked with people who had a rest in Alanya for 10 days, they were even glad that the plane broke down, that they got here, they said that next time they would choose exactly that area for recreation - the two-hour transfer was too much torturing them.
The food was, as always in Turkey, on top. Who said that there is not enough meat? let this person throw a stone at me) there was so much meat that there was not enough strength for a side dish and even for fruit) There was lamb, veal, turkey, chicken, fish of different varieties. fried, stewed, baked. Salads are tasteless, I agree, but I easily managed without them) The pastries are amazing. Fruits - oranges, bananas, peaches, cherries, watermelons, melons, apples, pears. I will write about cherries separately. try it happened to us on the third day. and all because of our tourists, who gathered in armfuls, then, not having the strength to eat it, left it untouched on the tables, from where it was already going to the trash. the whole dish is ENTIRELY on the table, so much so, the poor one could not master it. Seeing such a thing, the next day there were already 2 dishes, and then they brought it. Gö zleme cakes are top notch. I really liked the cocktails, I'm a non-drinker, so it's hard for me to judge alcohol together, it's not like that. but tonic cocktails are just lovely.
The pool, as already mentioned, is simply superb. The sea is warm, it was clean during our holiday period. there were always sunbeds. The only negative of this hotel, as already mentioned, I will not be original, is the PEOPLE. uneducated and rude at times. Hundred meters for dinner, the so-called suit them. do not rush and do not be nervous when you see pandemonium in front of the doors for dinner - you still have enough space))) let them run and frolic - not everything is to eat and drink)
Animation... well, let's just say, unobtrusive... that's for sure, I would say no. although I haven’t needed it for a hundred years, they don’t get games and thank God. but if you want sports, get it anyway, and archery and air balloons and water polo and gymnastics and step aerobics. if you want, you will find something to do, no, you will rest passively like me) It was once that I noticed two employees lying in the jacuzzi - they approached everyone in the jacuzzi and people sunbathing on sunbeds and gave portions of ice cream - frozen ice) it was cool and tasty . Ice cream is served from 15-00 to 19-00.4 types, delicious. Recommend. There you can also have cakes with tea and coffee.
They cleaned our room every day, changed towels and delivered jars. we left a dollar and did not regret it. firstly, everything was beautifully decorated, with rose petals, and secondly, cleaning was carried out until 12-00. That is, having come from the beach for lunch, it was already clean and beautiful. did not spare those dollars.
The music by the pool was really audible in our room, so if you have a small child don't take the pool view. we didn’t have little ones, it didn’t bother us much, although they sang until 24-00 somewhere.
The weakest point of the hotel is the rest. therefore, if everyone remains a person who does not require a VIP attitude towards his person, then it will be generally great. please do not occupy the sunbeds with things. if we do not do this, it will be even more comfortable to rest. after all, you can always find a sunbed and an umbrella - there are plenty of them both by the pool and by the sea. just annoying lack of people occupied places.
Have a nice holiday everyone. If you have any questions - write, I will answer!
