I returned from Siam the day before yesterday and I hasten to write reviews while everything is fresh in my memory. Rested from 4 to 14 June 2009. I liked everything very much, ten days flew by very quickly, they did not want to leave. Children (6 and 12) literally cried, did not want to leave. It was the fifth time in Turkey and it was the best hotel.
I got to this hotel, as they say, at the last moment. I wanted to go on an economy variant, according to specials. offer, but for the amount I was counting on, I could either go to a 4-ku or a lame 5-ku. And then a burning tour to Siam....SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!! ! But if I paid “to the fullest”, then it would probably be a pity for the money and would find fault with everything : ) We saw several of these at the reception who rolled up scandals that they allegedly looked at them wrong or did not smile broadly enough. They only spoil their rest and the mood of the staff, and then they write stupid reviews on sites like “the Germans are licked, but they don’t like Russians. ”
Siam is a new modern hotel. Everything is new, fresh, clean, as in the pictures. This is a normal 5-ka, corresponds to its stars, not an economy class. Now a little about everything:
The road from / to the airport: takes one hour. Thought less, but no big deal.
Accommodation: arrived at 10 am. The guide said that they would be placed at 2 o'clock. But there were free rooms, upon arrival we were sent for breakfast, and after breakfast we were placed. There is a Russian-speaking woman at the reception, Irina, who is very helpful to Russian speakers.
Rooms: The rooms are very clean and tidy. There is shampoo, soap, a shower cap, sponges for removing makeup, slippers (white ). Hairdryer - two modes, strong and medium. LCD TV, three Russian channels. There is a DVD, you can take DVD and mp3 discs with you if you want. The hotel has a rental for 5 Euro : ( Air conditioning - split system. Some rooms are simple, others are fancy (with timers, etc. ), and if suddenly the air conditioner began to live its own life, i. e. turn on and off by itself so the matter is in the timer. The minibar was replenished regularly at 4-5 pm (this is included). It has water, 2 cans of beer, 1 Pepsi, 1 7Up, Mirinda, 2-3 small nectar juices. Cleaning is good, but not everyone has time to clean up before lunch. For the tips left, they were also cleaned, so you don’t have to give, they didn’t notice the difference. The best location of the rooms on the sea, but there are only a few of them. Then, good rooms inside the hotel looking at the neighboring building - there is a long distance to it, does not interfere, but a good view of the area with pools and the sea. The next view of the swamp and the hotel in the distance is not the worst option. The worst option is the view of the Crystal Hotel, almost window to window, you can see each other and very noisy. If you get one, try to change.
Nutrition: this is a song. There is a lot of everything, everything is delicious, they are fed almost around the clock. Ultra All Inclusive is more than just all inclusive. Additionally, you can take ultra drinks, such as Martini, Bellis, etc. For breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice, ice cream from 2 to 4, popcorn in the evening and more. Of the fruits were oranges, apples, plums, apricots, strawberries (many and delicious), cherries, watermelons. Sweet table - just a miracle. Were in two a-la-cart restaurants, I really liked the fish one. Thai - delicious, but very spicy food.
Territory: Well-groomed, corresponds to the number of tourists, not overloaded. There are several swimming pools on site. There would be enough sun loungers if our compatriots did not "fill" them with their towels, being at that time in another place. The children really liked the slides, it was difficult to get them out of there.
Beach / sea: the beach is clean, sand, but the entrance to the sea is pebbles. The sea is clear when it is not stormy. Usually the sea was calm before lunch, and stormy in the afternoon. Depth comes very quickly. Children need swimming aids (circles, vests, sleeves). Loungers enough, no problem.
Animation Entertainment: entertain the whole day, you just participate. I played bocho on the beach 3 times, participated in crazy pool game twice. The kids loved the mini disco. Evening show: mostly amateur, but cool, not bad. Someone wrote that a lot of toilet jokes. Indeed, there are, but the Germans like it. By the way in the hotel 40% of the Germans, 40% of the CIS, 20% of the rest. The staff is quite Russian-speaking, compared to other hotels. Many Russian-speaking animators from Belarus and the Moscow region. Once there was a belly dance, once a Turkish night with national dances, twice live music with a disco. If you are in Siam soon, say hello to the animator of the miniclub Sasha (Alexandra) from the girl Nastya from Almaty (Kazakhstan). They became very attached to each other.
Sauna/Hammam/Massage: Sauna and Hammam free of charge. Peeling + foam massage bargained for $ 20, at a price of 35. General massage + face mask bargained for 25, at a price of 45. So bargain. A Russian-speaking woman, Anya, and a guy, Islam, work there.
Phone: We bought a Turk-Cell SIM card with 100 units for $25, enough for 3 calls for 3 minutes. If you leave the hotel and turn left, there are payphones 100 meters away and there is a post office across the street from them. A payphone card of 100 units costs 8 dollars and lasts for 30 minutes, even it was not used to the end. Dial 00-7 (this is the code of Russia) - city code - phone number.
Excursions: We spared the money to go through the hotel guide, we wanted to go to the dolphinarium. There, a little further from the post office, there is a Sunday Travel office, they also rent cars, so they have two more names Rent a Car KURSAT and Rent a Halicarnas. Russian-speaking Aleksey (a Meskhetian Turk from Kazakhstan) works there. They had this tour cheaper + we still bargained, in the end we saved a lot, but it turned out sideways for us. I will not waste much time to describe all this horror, but I will say that we never saw dolphins and did not return the money to us. They are looking for suckers from the CIS and they are thrown. DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICE, YOU WILL BE REGRET. Let the hotel guides and more expensive, but you will not be thrown like us.
Souvenirs/sweets: Just behind the post office there is a souvenir shop + sweets. They bought everything they needed. Bargain. There is a Russian-speaking Azerbaijani there, but he is a seller and throws off worse than the owner. The latter speaks English, it is better to bargain with the owner. There are other shops as well.
A few general tips for travelers:
1. Take a good mood with you. Your vacation is in your hands.
2. Don’t invent problems that don’t exist (like you didn’t smile like that)
3. Enjoy what is, and do not suffer because something is missing (the glass should be half full, not empty).
4. Apply cream, do not burn.
5. Drink in moderation : )
Look like that's it. Have a nice holiday!
P. S. The whole family wants to go back to Siam.
