I usually fly to Egypt, but because of the quarantine, I had to do a PCR, or self-isolation for 2 weeks, so we decided to go to Turkey.
The hotel is based on ratings. It was 9.5 here, flash, storm, madness! I have not yet come across hotels with such an assessment, so I immediately ordered, although the price was biting.
We settled in a nice room on the first floor, 3-4 rooms from the sea. To get into the room you need to make a huge detour through the reception, because there is only one way to all 4 floors in all 85 rooms. No food! Lunch example: 1 soup, fried potatoes, baked tomatoes with cheese, cucumbers, lettuce tomatoes, cheese, 5 types of sugary tasteless biscuits (this is in all hotels, so I’m silent about desserts), and something similar to veal kebab, but this is soy meat for a hike, because it tastes like a newspaper with flavoring . . / AND ALL! Can you imagine? I don’t even stutter for seafood, the fish was only 1 time in 8 days! Of course, I understand everything, but the owner just. . . Everyone had a quarantine, and the whole world suffered! Does he think that vacationers will not understand that they are terribly saving on them?

Getting up at 6 in the morning to take sunbeds is trash! If you overslept, there is a direct road to the neighboring beach of their trio, with rusty half-meter umbrellas and burnt-out plastic sun loungers, and then, if there is a place. I have a feeling that the owner did not want to hire staff and drove all vacationers from 2 hotels to 1! Dinner is the same, you only need to go and read to feed, otherwise you will have to wait for the table.

Positive emotions left only a good view from the room and very helpful hotel staff. Nice and smiling guys, always ready to help you if needed. I talked to some and they confirmed that the owner is very greedy and the salaries are even lower than usual.
There are almost no Russian speakers, only at the reception, the cooks know 5-10 words in Ukrainian. English is spoken very badly and not everyone, because of the language barrier, I had to eat raw oatmeal drenched in cold milk (spoiler: it tastes like sawdust), because either they don’t have it, or they don’t understand what hot is or boiled milk: ( They look at me, and their eyes are 5 kopecks each.
In general, I was pleased with my company, because if it were not for the people with whom I was, then for such a price I would not have survived a vacation in a sea full of algae, and without an actual beach (100 by 3 meters does not count); when ships and yachts float, the waves flood everything there, and you, along with slippers, bags and equipment, will be carried into the sea...
Ill-bred Turkish children with mothers who yell everywhere only reinforced my negativity. There are almost no Europeans. Ukrainians and Russians. Oh yes, and the Turks, who never clean up after themselves, pig and scatter fries on the pontoon.
Something like this... And you decide for yourself whether you need such a vacation: |
