We rested in Caesar in mid-June. The hotel was half full and even then, there was nothing to breathe. With horror I can imagine what's going on there at the height of the season. Start over:
CHECK-IN - having arrived at 9.30 in the morning, we were immediately sent for breakfast and after it they promised to settle. Having eaten and returning to the hall, we heard that there were no free rooms and check-in would be after 14.00. this despite the fact that at the time of our arrival, 13 rooms were vacated! We asked to carry our suitcases to the storage room, but we decided to go to the beach ourselves. To this we were told that they do not have any room, and we can leave things right in the center of the hall. They laughed, and thus remained on the suitcases. At 2:00 pm, the Turkish girl at the reception, who had a clear lack of sex, abruptly stopped understanding Russian. And in the reviews on the Internet and in the hotel itself, vacationers were advised to give a bribe and everything will be fine. Don't give. !! ! After screams and threats, we finally got the keys to the bungalow (three of us arrived). So - this bungalow is located, to put it mildly, in Muhosransk - near the very exit from the hotel near an incomprehensible building from which a black cloud of smoke comes out of the chimney from time to time. In addition, the bungalow itself is damp, it stinks of mold, and there is an anthill near the exit to the terrace. Returning to the main building, we gave the keys and demanded a room in the main building or a normal bungalow in front of, and not behind the hotel, explaining what the problem was. Having argued a little, the Turkish woman with a strange smile gave us the keys to the room in the main building, saying that you need to pay extra for the bungalow in front of the hotel. When I entered the room, I went nuts - on the websites of travel agencies it is written that rooms in a standard building are 30-32 square meters, this is not true - a maximum of 18. The shower in the bathroom is meter-by-meter, the passage to the balcony is 60 centimeters wide. And a wonderful view on the roof with the smell of hot tiles. And most importantly - one bed! Returning again to the reception, we asked how they imagine our living together, to which they replied that they would now bring two more beds - this was the funniest joke, since two bedside tables barely fit in the room.
Then a woman came up to us with a zhlobsky pendant around her neck on which Inna was written and began to explain that we were making a lot of noise. I will not dedicate you to the history of the scandal that lasted an hour, but she is a greyhound woman. When she threatened to call the tax office and tell them that they were taking bribes, she said that any tourist who could confirm this would fly out of the hotel (very funny, but since she is blonde, this is probably forgiven). In the end, I just burst into tears because I could no longer control myself from anger, and my friend demanded a phone to call an ambulance and gendarmes. Hearing the word GENDARMES, we were immediately given the keys to a good bungalow, for which they demanded an additional payment of 50 dollars a day.

RESULT: take ammonia with you and only problems arise, start crying and demand to call the gendarmes and an ambulance, for the reason that you have a nervous breakdown and the reception is to blame for this.
FOOD - a lot of delicious fish and turkey, vegetables, side dishes and sweets. But all the same, for 4-5 days there is no longer a desire to eat it. In the morning there are a lot of different cookies, straws, cereals and delicious yoghurts. You need to squeeze freshly squeezed juice yourself, and since the juicers are old, most of the juice flows past the glass, and the queue is huge - it’s easier to press the juice directly into the glass with your hand or eat oranges. Very little fruit! When oranges rotted, they simply cut off the peel, gave them green apricots and plums, and only on our last day - June 23, they gave green watermelons. You can’t take anything out of the dining room - in my presence they stopped a child who was eating an apple and forced him to either finish eating it in a restaurant or throw it away. The animation team is forced to control the exit from the restaurant. Tables and chairs are dirty, stained, dishes poorly washed. Snacks on the beach and near the pool were eaten only on the first day - I wanted to try. We ate in the dining room so that nothing else fit.
DRINKS - shmurdyak is rare, 4 * UPI is better, at least less concentrated. On the third day, the rings on my hands began to oxidize, which meant that in 3 days I planted my liver robustly. Alcohol is even worse. On the first day, a tourist told us that you can drink Baileys and martinis - they are almost like real ones. Having tried both, I concluded that the woman had been drinking burnt alcohol all her life, because they didn’t even lie next to real drinks. All alcohol is from one Turkish company - for the first time in my life I saw transparent whiskey. In addition, according to the ultra all inclusive system, there should be 5 types of foreign alcohol. So - you won’t even find it for a fee in a hotel, maybe only in a store. There are no hookahs either - you need to go to the city. Before dinner, delicious colored cocktails are made, and then you will have your tongues the color of this very cocktail for a long time to come.
TIP: take drinks in the lobby bar - they are more or less of normal quality there. Bars are very bad and sometimes you have to walk through the whole hotel to get a cola.

ANIMATION - great. The only thing to which there were no complaints. A lot of animators, all day different games, dancing, and in the evenings a great show. I especially remember Madonna's show, as well as a children's travesty show, which was prepared every day by a mini-club (travesty because children were painted too much with cosmetics, but that only made it funnier)
BEACH - Belek disappointed me as a resort in general, I concluded that pebbles are better than sand. The beach is dirty, they don’t clean it, sunbeds are placed anywhere and anyhow. The mattresses on them are just one name - a thin plastic bag, there is not much difference with a mattress, that without it you will not feel. After lunch, strong waves, and indeed a strong current, a lot of some midges, mosquitoes and mosquitoes. At first it is not felt, but when you are a little weathered and the skin becomes sensitive, it will become impossible to lie on the beach. The first 15 meters of the entrance to the sea is shallow and all this is dotted with days which are difficult to get around and really want to drown.
IMPORTANT: there are NO lifeguards on the beach!! ! and in general the hotel is a passage yard. And take beach towels with you, because what the hotel offers is thin, washed out, once it was yellow and stained. I disdained, although people took...
ROOM - I liked our bungalow. Although everyone around complained that they did not have bath towels or they were not changed. We had 7 of them for three. The shower was leaking, if the hotel doesn’t care about it, then even more so for us. Giving a dollar to the cleaning lady could collect how many body lotions (we forgot to take with us). In general, the cleaners are very nice and always smiling. The mini bar is replenished every day, even if you haven't had a drink, everyone will put a new one exactly.

THE TERRITORY is huge, we all couldn’t get around it, and we don’t need it. I can say that the hotel is the most beautiful in the village, stylish and tidy. The territory is being monitored. There is Noah's Ark, a cave, many monuments, a couple of fountains. Children ride on water slides even when they are turned off - irritation on their fifth points is the problem of parents. The main pool is very beautiful and very deep, the animation team performs the function of lifeguards while the parents are drinking in the shade or steaming in the sauna. The pools are still very chlorinated. The hotel wifi is not working. In the lobby, the Internet of neighboring Letonia is caught, and on the beach of Rixos.
Disco - if you are a drinker - normal, if not - it will be boring and cold. Live music - when, as it used to be, it was not bad. Karaoke is a bunch of tourists who think they can sing and a couple of masochists who can handle this voiceless miss-play.
THE MAIN MINUS OF THE HOTEL is a bunch of fucking children. They wander around the hotel and cling to vacationers - one boy held my girlfriend's hand for 20 minutes and argued that she was his mother, when he came to his senses, he got scared and ran away. Children go without hats, in sunburn. Only sweets are eaten in the canteen. The hotel positions itself for couples with children, so in 8 days I did not find a single couple with children who would be satisfied with the rest. And in general, I wanted to kill children, going into the main building comes the understanding that it is quieter at train stations in big cities. There are almost no young people in the hotel. Those unhappy who got there go with mournful faces. Although we came across two girls who were quite pleased with this hotel, on the third day we understood why - every evening the staff from the dining room took them away incomprehensibly (I think everyone understands) where and brought them to breakfast.
We went to a hotel for 1600 dollars for three and I think this is expensive for a hotel. Now vouchers there cost from 2300 - for this money you can go to a more worthy hotel, even in Belek.
