Моя первая поездка в Турцию My first trip to Turkey

Hello! This is probably one of my first reviews of this hotel. Those who are going to this so-called hotel. I will briefly describe. It all started with the fact that my family and I decided to relax abroad. In the travel agency for those lines in which I needed to go for 4 people, there was no particular choice. There were only trips to this Club Amarissa Suites & Residences 4 * hotel. Well, we decided to take it, after all, 4 * close to the sea, etc. The agency did not say anything about the hotel, due to the lack of information, only on the Internet we found a couple of photos, according to which we ordered trips about the general features. I came home with joy, I think I will look for more information about the hotel and reviews. After spending a couple of hours on the Internet, I did not find anything, except for 11 photos of the hotel. The next day I went to the travel agency with questions about why there is no information. Where they told me that the hotel is new, the first year that vouchers are sold, if there are no reviews, then it is good, I have nothing to worry about, everything will be fine. I asked, has anyone been there? They said that I was the first. I was reassured and we went to Bodrum! At the airport we were kindly greeted by the staff of the tour operator in an excellent bus brought to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, the guide told us all the charms of these places, that there are many excellent excursions. The mood was great until we arrived at the hotel, which you can’t call it. The territory is very small, the hotel houses are three-story, there is a balcony on the second and third floors. Employees with great difficulty understand only a couple of words in Russian, only in English can you find a common language with them. The first day of stay for everyone who "got" in this hotel was the most difficult. A total disappointment. For those who are not the first time vacationing abroad and know what and how should be in 4 * hotels got a shock. Firstly, this institution is not a hotel - but a club, which I don’t know how and for what they gave 4 stars. Works as a hotel for a couple of months. Previously, rooms were rented here for individual residence. The rooms have all household appliances (air conditioning, electric stove, refrigerator, hair dryer, boiler, extractor hood, washing machine, dishwasher) shared mini kitchen. Not everyone is lucky enough to get a room where everything was fine. Everyone had comments on the number. In some, the air conditioner did not work, the room was not tidied up, there was not enough bed linen, there was "bare tile" on the floor, the shampoo was bad, there was no soap. There is no iron in the rooms; fi zone, but the speed is 0.6Mb/s. There was no safe in the room, as I later found out, it was on watch and the rent was $ 3 per day. Having paid the rent for the safe, they did not want to give it to the room, after my indignation they gave it. Meals at the hotel buffet. Having talked on the first day with vacationers who had already lived in the hotel for a couple of days, I found out that the food is more or less normal, there is a choice, but for some reason there was no meat. On the same day, the hotel guide visited and I decided everything that did not suit me at that time with him. After my claims, the meat appeared every day, but one type of dish (meat) per day. Fruits (watermelon, melon, apples, plums), any salads, a lot of sweet dishes, there were no baked goods. As a "snack" after dinner was everyone's favorite french fries and a sweet muffin for coffee. Drinks (cola, sprite, fanta) beer (non-alcoholic) in the bar were free, ice cream was unfortunately very expensive. Nescafe coffee (instant), no complaints about tea, there were drinks like "Jupi", the paint from which remained on the lips. Check-out from the hotel takes place in the early morning at 5 o'clock unnoticed, you give the keys and go out. And the most unpleasant thing is that they don’t give “dry rations” with them on the road, which is in other hotels. The service staff was exclusively male, who always smiled pleasantly at all vacationers. Cleaning in the rooms took place only when you write a complaint, otherwise nothing. The pool pleased with its presence, in which everyone willingly swam, especially children. The beach in front of the hotel is just awful. Very few people swim in it. The bottom is muddy, the unpleasant smell of water. The beds are almost all broken. Almost all hotel guests went to the beaches of neighboring hotels, and away from the hotel. On which we were driven by employees of other hotels. I had to pretend to be "fools" to swim and sunbathe on a normal beach. The beach is located in a bay, where there are no waves at all, the water is stagnant. And closer to the open sea, on the beaches of which it is very "cool", sometimes you even had to pay the owners. Tours to the sights of Bodrum from a tour operator are 2.5-3 times more expensive than from the operators of Bodrum itself, thanks to which we saw all the beauty of this coast. Otherwise very expensive. On the second day and subsequent days, everyone is already getting used to all this, and who can rest as best they can. The hotel has people of all nationalities. But like everywhere, Russian-speaking vacationers always stick together, in company, and it's always fun and cool! The hotel is pleasantly quiet. Sleep nice and quiet at night. All you hear is the sound of the air conditioner running loudly. There are no beach towels here. But the very thought of how "got" on this makes itself felt every day. It's a shame that you pay and go to a 4 * class hotel and you end up in a hotel that can hardly be given 2 + *. Prices on the market sometimes "bite", designed for very rich vacationers. You need to bargain, but even after bargaining it's still not cheap. Nature in Bodrum is beautiful. All good! And in conclusion, what I want to say is that the hotel itself is not bad, it’s normal for a family, you can put up with everything, but living here is very expensive for him. Not worth the money they ask for it. Those who "hit" this year in this hotel will always remember how he "fucked up". Before choosing a hotel - always find out more information, reviews and recommendations.
