Хороший отель Good hotel

I was at the Vera Club Hotel from May 25 to June 4 with my wife and daughter, 9 years old, I won’t talk about the flight and the sending company, because this has nothing to do with the hotel and its shortcomings or advantages, by the way, many are interested in the beginning of the trip how is the weather there, in Bodrum, as it turned out (and I was here for the first time, I had previously been in Alanya, Antalya, Side) it was a little cold, and changeable with the weather, the first 2 days it generally rained, after the first day the weather settled down, and the temperature became consistently over 30 with cloudless skies. Now about the hotel. The nature here is wonderful, a very large variety of trees and shrubs that are strewn with all kinds of flowers, even the air seems cleaner because of this. The hotel is on the first line, but there is a big "but" the hotel itself is divided into 7 lines, and you see the line number in the first digit of your number, let's say 6543 is the sixth line, etc.
so the first four lines are in close proximity to the reception, bars and the sea, this is really the first line, lines 5.6, 7 are on the second line (you need to take the elevator, go through the transition, to the other side of the road, and then up each the line rises about 50-100 meters uphill, i. e. the hotel goes uphill somewhere else about 200 m. buildings and if there are no rooms nearby during the season, they will put you in a free one where they please) don’t be nervous, the rooms there are better and more spacious than on the first four lines because they are newer there, so each line has its own pool (even one with salt water) with sun loungers, and a bar where you can drink and eat. A huge and indisputable plus of these rooms is that they are located away from the noisy evening programs, which sometimes prevent you from falling asleep,
And by the way, all the rooms have a sea view. If this does not suit you, contact the reception and you will be moved to where you need as the rooms become available. There are 4 bars in the hotel in the center and 3 up the mountain. The bar at the reception is the easiest to sit during bad weather, or before leaving, there are only drinks, by the way, drinks like this, gin, vodka, whiskey, cognac, baileys, amaretto, beer, watched a program before leaving in which they took drinks from Turkey and brought them to Russia for examination, all the drinks turned out to be (oddly enough) of good, or very good quality, so see for yourself why pay for something that you can take for free... there is a bar in the middle of the hotel where you can make yourself an afternoon at about 3 o'clock a hamburger snack, and at 5 o'clock you can eat donuts piping hot. There is a bar by the pool, he is also by the sea, there is only booze. There are 2 restaurants, but when we arrived, only the main one was working,

the second one opened only on the first day and everyone who came with us immediately signed up for it, and by the way, I did not regret it, there were 3 menus to choose from: meat, chicken, fish, we chose fish, to describe for a long time... I really liked the seafood dish filled with cheese Overall, sign up and you won't regret it. The food in the main restaurant is acceptable, I don’t talk about greens and salads, there are a lot of them, the main question for our resting people is MEAT, the chicken is constantly eaten and in different variations fried, boiled, there was also a turkey, there is always something fried on the braziers outside, fish, chicken wings, chicken fillet, but there is usually a queue, I tried to wait a little longer, it might resolve, but it wasn’t there, there is always a queue, every other day they give something like beef goulash, a couple of times they gave whole trout. Dinner is always more varied and rich, summing up, meals here are 3 meals a day + a snack = 4 meals, you will not starve. Entrance to the sea from the shore and from the pier,
pillows are conveniently located on the pier, on which it is very pleasant to lie, the sea is clean, very transparent, there are few fish, you can not take a mask. True, due to the more northern location of Bodrum in relation to the rest of the resorts in Turkey, the water temperature here is much lower, let's put it simply, the water is invigorating, 18-20 degrees. The rooms are cleaned every day, but the cleaning time is not stable, it changes chaotically, maybe at 9 o'clock maybe at 17. Those who communicate with relatives by phone card will find it useful to know that the nearest telephone is in the port building, 2 minutes walk along the beach to the side cities. By the way, the proximity of the port is not at all a minus, but a plus there is always the opportunity to make a good shot with a background of several sailing yachts. If you are not too lazy and go further, about a kilometer, along the sea, go to the city of Bodrum and the medieval fortress, you can take good pictures near the fortress, you can get inside for 10 liras, because
For some reason, this museum does not take dollars for entry, only lira. Having reached the city on foot, you save $ 6, and the shops near the coast are much more diverse and cheaper than in the city center. The exchange rate at the moment was 1$=1.6 lira, I double-checked everything, because the Turks tend to round in their direction. The hotel has the opportunity to ride a catamaran and boats for free. There is also a gym, for whom it is important, it is also free, there is also a bathhouse, I steamed there every day, although the temperature there is even too small for a Turkish bath, about 40-50 degrees, but if you sit longer, you still steam. The staff at the hotel is quite friendly, they smile, but not a single one speaks Russian, even at the reception, only English, since the hotel guests are mostly foreigners, ours here may be less than 15 percent, there is a true Russian animator, but for her every question is not run, so learn English.
Summing up all of the above, the hotel is a good economy class, and as for stardom, everyone decides based on their personal feelings, some people have liquid soup, some small diamonds.

P. S. There are few excursions, and all are quite expensive, with a large part of the exaggeration. We went to the island of turtles, for 4500 rubles. I thought there were turtles rushing around the island, it wasn’t there that they swam on a yacht to a fishing boat where a kid throws a crab on a string, lures one single turtle about 50-70 centimeters (2 meters were declared) she stuck her nose to the surface a couple of times and that’s it. . . a storm of applause and a 3-hour drive home. One thing that did not let me lose my temper from such a promenade is a very cultural guide with many stories and, again, nature that will cool any angry tourist. See for yourself what they say, divide by 3 and decide if you need it for that money. Photos are attached. ))))
