Чудо пятое - Галикарнас Fifth Miracle - Halicarnassus

We rested with Teztur. The resort of Bodrum is like a big Yalta, all coastal settlements were brought here, in one of them our hotel BLUE BODRUM 3 * was located.
This is not the first time in Turkey, but they have never been in the top three, it’s still interesting how it is there, but accordingly, with the system everything is included!
The hotel itself, as far as we understood, consists of two parts - old and new. The old building, which apparently has been rebuilt several times in its history, has slightly larger rooms, with good service life, natural furniture, painted with natural colors.
The new building in which we lived surprised us with its functionality and strange, in our opinion, different sizes of rooms.
Our room with all the cases was 10 meters away. The furniture was all new, the air conditioner worked fine. The shower cabin impressed us with its bells and whistles. The telly worked fine, considering that all the channels there were Turkish.

The contingent of vacationers is ours and the Turks.
Yes, the hotel was full. There were really not many people, there were practically no queues at the bar, given that the bartenders knew our people by sight and poured them without sparing.
The all-inclusive system they provide 3 meals a day with a snack after dinner - tea, coffee and pastries.
In general, the hotel has two bars (as indicated on the website), the second bar does exist, but it did not function. Drinks - water, you can pour coffee yourself at any time, since access is free, beer and other carbonated drinks at the bar. Of the alcoholic - wine, white, red, vodka, gin, brandy. Everything was poured into glass! We did not see disposable tableware.
As for diversity, write - I'm a meat eater, but, to my surprise, I had enough of everything. Meat dishes were replaced by well-cooked fried vegetables, which were always in abundance. In general, there was enough of everything during the meal. As soon as some product ended, they immediately brought the next dance.
The staff is quite professional, friendly, even friendly, and this brightened up the overall picture of shortcomings.
What was surprising was the discrepancy with the data indicated on the Internet: the rooms are not at all the same size, except that they were blocked off, no sports fields such as volleyball and even table tennis.
It upset, perhaps the sea, with its coolness, if not cold - sometimes it could be up to 24 *. The water is cold, but clean.
There is no environment around the hotel. In the evening there is almost nowhere to go. But there was time to admire the sea.
From the excursions we visited Bodrum ($ 50): the fifth of the seven wonders of the world - the ruins of the mausoleum in Halicarnassus, the Bodrum fortress, lunch on a boat, swimming in the open sea, elements of a foamy disco. I liked the tour with the content and the absence of intrusive shops.

In general, they offered many excursions: hammam-40, Pamukkale-85, Ephesus-70, Ephesus-Pamukkale (2 days)-160 and many others costing from $35 to $70.
My wife and I concluded for ourselves that if you have seen a lot of things, you can rest in the top three. And if you are drawn to see how it is behind the fence, in 5 *, you go there. We'll meet there
