Hotel Poseidon
check in
The building looks quite decent, a lot of greenery, although the territory is small. Small pool with 2 slides. People are placed. Sun loungers, of course, according to the principle: whoever gets up first, that one and slippers.

But all the positive impression is immediately evaporated by a dead fish (like a male) at the reception. He was able to give us a card to fill out and put pieces of plastic on our wrists. After that, any attempt to ask a question: where is the beach, is there beach towels in the hotel, when is breakfast-lunch-dinner, met with such a reaction as if I was going to make a slave out of him right now and send him to cotton plantations. The most meaningful information we could get out of it was "there. . . " and a vague wave of the hand. At the same time, the jellyfish did not even turn its head in our direction, as it sat with its face buried in the monitor. Okay, we figured it out. I was very amused by the announcement of a fine for trying to eat anything NOT bought in the department, on the territory of this very hotel. Uh-huh, I won't be allowed to pee down the toilet in my room.
Number
The room is small and somewhat shabby. The linen is clean. Amused bed with three pillows. It would really fit 3 people, I wonder if someone is accommodated in threes? The bathroom is functioning. The cabinet handles are broken off a long time ago, I don't think anyone cares about fixing them. There is a balcony and air conditioning, both in working order.
Beach
Across the road, small and very, very dirty. Cigarette butts, plastic cups, scraps of newspapers, broken glass. . . There are no trash cans within sight. Who with children - look at both. Entrance to the sea on large pebbles. Slippery, but swimming slippers save. The sea is clean, the water is warm. With sun loungers (some of them are broken and all very dirty), things are tolerable. A little strained with a place under the umbrellas, so do not be too lazy to take a seat at dawn. After lunch, there is enough space for everyone. Please note that there are no mattresses on the sunbeds and you cannot buy them in the city, so if you want to lie softly, take care of this problem at home. There are no beach towels in the hotel either. You can buy at the market for a reasonable price.
Food

The restaurant is an open-air tent. There are no air conditioners. There are fans that, in general, save the situation. Lines for food are small and quickly dissipate. Who travels with men accustomed to chops and meatballs: there was no meat, no, and never will be. Once we saw chicken, the rest of the time - soy substitutes. If you can switch to a vegetarian lifestyle, then you will love it. There are always stewed / fried vegetables in different variations. Fresh herbs are also included. Cheese, bread, jams are very tasty. For dessert, watermelon or melon and sweets (very sweet and viscous, not for everyone). From drinks, people leaned on beer, I can’t comment, I haven’t tried it. Personally, I was completely satisfied with white wine: light, sour in the heat is perfectly refreshing. Instant coffee, tea bags, yuppies, cold water. There was enough food, the waiters moved quite quickly, try to sit near the walls where the "windows" are open, it is the least hot there.
Guide and excursions
On the first day, we talked with Tofik. Quickly and briefly gave out the mandatory information, the brain could not stand excursions. True, he sold us one trip to the hammam (to some incredible spa center). For an amateur. He promised that it would take 10-15 minutes to drive, it was 40 minutes. running. At first, the Russian young lady told us for a long time how cool everything is here. I really liked her phrase: "When you go crazy from Turkish hospitality... " I went crazy from her at the 10th minute and asked to accompany us directly to the procedures. This caused her dissatisfaction, since she was just selling two young ladies Thai massage, of course, for extra money. All the time in this center they will try to scam you for money, if you don’t want to get a divorce, then the staff is very upset and demands to explain the reason why you don’t want 150 additional services. The massage was done quickly, according to the assembly line. I was especially pleased when, during the aroma massage, they covered it with a wet towel, which they gave you for washing and drying. During the massage, a young man entered the office, who introduced himself as "their translator" and told me that the masseuse found salt deposits on my back, blockage of the lymphatic drainage system on my legs (I'm 28 years old, athletic build). And all this can be repaired right now with the help of honey massage. When I said that we would not fix anything right now, the young man was very offended and began to inquire why I was so careless about my health.
Animation

Animation must be loud! So get ready for the fact that from 10 am to 11 pm the music is screaming. The repertoire is modest: something from Russian pop music, something from Turkish, when the Turks sang in English, the meaning of their songs was simple and unpretentious: "I love her, she's so... How would I fuck her, I I can only think about this" Sorry, you can't erase the words from the song. I think that this is a national problem of spermatotoxicosis, which finds its way out through art. Since the territory of the hotel is small, these howls can be heard everywhere, the closed balcony door does not help. In the evening there were festivities with drinking beer for distillation, people liked it.
Territory and cleaning
The territory consists of an entrance to the hotel, a swimming pool with 3 slides (the children were delighted), an animation zone (a small stage and a lawn in front of it), a bar and a restaurant. Very modest. For the very young, a paddling pool was fenced. Free Wi-Fi in the lobby! Cleaning consists of spraying water on the floor, the pool is honestly vacuumed, other areas of the hotel are cleaned, probably at the beginning and at the end of the season. Our room was never swept. Please note that there are no elevators, there is a stone spiral staircase: it will be difficult for mothers with strollers and elderly people.
Summary: on different sites this hotel is positioned as 3 or even 4 stars, in fact there is a maximum of 2. We got into it, choosing a trip at the last moment, there was no time to carefully read the reviews (they slammed their ears), but since we only went 4 days, then not particularly upset.
Our departure from the hotel was at 6.45 am, so we were supposed to have breakfast on the road. For breakfast we were given 2 slices of bread, a slice of tomato, a slice of cucumber and 20 grams of cheese. We left this food at the reception.
I have not heard a single satisfied review of this hotel from vacationers. And there is no feedback form in the hotel, because no one is interested in your opinion about it. Whether you go there is up to you.
