Three of us went: my wife and I (24 and 23 years old) and her older sister. We settled first in the 5th building 5126 with a view of the pool, although rather on the restroom by the pool. I was immediately surprised by the humidity in the rooms and the specific smell. I'm allergic to strong smells so we decided to change the room. At the reception, they offered to move to a two-story family room for $ 150, but we didn’t want to pay and we decided to wait. We didn't have to wait long - we only had time to eat breakfast. The next room 1329 (without any additional charge) suited us - a view of the neighboring Alinda, partly of the sea, the third floor is much fresher.
About the hotel. When I arrived, I read a lot of negative reviews, and when I left, I came across them. I was somewhat afraid of the described nightmare with queues, but the most pessimistic expectations did not come true. True, in the conversation, the animators described queues for strawberries of 20-25 meters, but by our arrival the strawberries had already departed and I personally did not find such queues.
We always go to dinner late on vacation - at first it turned out involuntarily, but then we realized that this has its advantages. In general, as always, they came to dinner not earlier than 20.30, and more often closer to 21.00. I did not observe any queues. Meals, as elsewhere in hotels of a similar price category, the meat was every day chicken or turkey steaks, just chicken in different forms. These manifestations of meat suited me and I did not look for beef with big eyes, although sometimes I accidentally stumbled upon it. At breakfast, I didn’t have to stand behind the same omelet, but they cooked it in 4 places already, and not in one, as they wrote above. I saw queues only for cakes, but naturally I didn’t stand in them. Sometimes passing by, when I saw that lovely women were sadly rolling out the dough in the absence of those who wanted to taste them - I did not let them get bored and took three of us 1-2 cakes. A little upset drinks, or rather cocktails.
The taste of even popular cocktails like pinoclad and margarita with mojito turned out to be strange, although also cool))) I didn’t see more than one shaker)) And so the usual set of UAI tequila, rum, gin, crayfish, vodka, wine, beer, brandy, whiskey. The same brands (mostly all Burgaz) of drinks were also met in other hotels. A strange feature of the hotel: on the territory, and it really is not small, I did not find a single clock, even at the reception there were no clocks (although usually there are five of them hanging there). The animators are all dressed differently, which is also strange in my opinion. Usually in otyalyah he asked some small questions to the animators (where is everything here, etc. ) And here they are not particularly visible among the vacationers until you start to recognize them by sight. The territory is large, quite well-groomed - they cut their hair, plant flowers. In the evening, some kind of program in the amphitheater. Visiting artists or on their own, then live music by the pool and disco until 2.00. The music didn't really turn me on,
I liked more to have fun on live music under unpretentious motives. If you want to move - you can do it. At the end of the holiday, we found out that drinks at the hotel are until 5.00. ))) So we didn’t stay too long))) As for the amphitheater, there is a serious minus. The seats are concrete, and this is not very useful as many people understand. The hotel provides soft seats, which are brought to the amphitheater in front of the mini disco. But when we approached the evening animation, they were no longer there, but some comfort lovers managed to own whole soft sets of these pillows. However, there were always empty seats. This situation was heating up. As for the supposedly bad service - I didn't really notice it. There are really a lot of vacationers and an individual approach naturally will not work, but everything is fine. My secret is quite simple - I do not keep it a secret. I'm just polite with everyone: waiters, bartenders.
I don’t consider myself a big specialist in super hotels, it’s the 3rd time in Turkey. So think and choose, if there are questions I can answer.
