We bought a tour from Coral, chose a hotel for a long time based on reviews on the Internet, including on this site, and finally chose the Champion. The impression of the hotel is so-so, the pros and cons below. I am writing so that people who read reviews draw conclusions from real reviews, and not the opinions of hotel barkers.
Rested together with my husband, I'm forty, he's a little more.
1. Check-in and hotel.
They settled us quickly, however, we arrived in the evening. Upon check-in, they were given 1 floor. I don’t like 1 floors at all, so I asked higher and further from the center of the hotel to be quieter. They gave me a room on the 2nd floor in building 4 - 422. In general, not bad, but it could be better. The door is opposite the stairs, the constant noise of passing by and cleaners, but this is during the day. But the building is closer to the reception, so it’s quiet there at night and mostly there are parents with babies who sleep at night. For me it was super, I don’t sleep at all with noise, but here everything is fine, we practically didn’t hear the neighbors.
At the reception, in the restaurant there are Russian girls who help with everything, there are no problems with the language at all. All Turks working at the hotel understand Russian. The hotel area is large, beautiful, well-groomed, orange, lime trees, eucalyptus trees, even cacti and scarlet grow. The photos correspond to reality, the description, in principle, too, except that the rooms have everything for making tea, coffee and a mini-bar. This is not the case, but you can drink the same coffee and tea in any bar, as well as mineral water, cola, sprite, etc. absolutely free and as much as you want. The safe in the room is paid -2 dollars per day, paid upon check-in.
The contingent in the hotel: 80% Russians, 10% Slavs (Poles or Czechs, something like that), 5% Germans, 5% Ukraine (but they are almost never seen or heard). People are mostly well-mannered, the bulk of them with children, and very small ones, and pensioners, young only with children, our age was us and another couple, a little older than us, also came to our race and we left together, we were there together and talked .
With places on the beach after 9-10 am tension, there are not enough places, and they take towels from 6-7 am. So if you want normal places, come to the beach before 9 if on the grass under an umbrella that can be moved, then before 7 in the morning. There is a small pool, where children are not allowed to enter, places are free there all day, very quiet and peaceful, I won’t say anything about the large pool, because we only went to the beach to the sea.
Entry into the water with large boulders, it is possible to go down the ladder from 2 piers or buy special slippers. They are generally excellent. The water is clear and the fish are swimming.
Room: large family bed (by the way, very good, not wrinkled, large, comfortable). I have a big problem sleeping in a new place, but here everything was fine with both the bed and the pillow. In addition to the bed, the room had a small sofa, bedside tables, a dressing table with a mirror, an LCD TV with Russian channels, a full-length mirror, a safe, a wardrobe (quite spacious) and air conditioning. In the c / a bath, sink, toilet (it is inconveniently located, they bumped into it all the time, but these are trifles).
Cons: The door to the next room is directly from our room. We understand that these are families, just closed.
Balcony ala French window (2 * 2), one chair was placed and that's it. The dryer is small, things did not fit. Other buildings have large loggias/balconies.
2. Cleaning: tin. Out of the 10 days that we lived there, we were cleaned 4 times. The first 2 days were not cleaned at all. On the second day, I called the reception and made a remark about the cleaning. They brought us clean towels, removed the garbage, and promised to do wet cleaning the next day, i. e. the third. On the 3rd day, silence again, the husband told the hotel guide about this, again change of towels in the evening and that's it. Then my patience came to an end, I really did not want to start, but to live in the mud, and even without toilet paper, it just “lit up”. I went to the reception and expressed everything that I think about them (without shouting), promising to make a complaint to Odeon. The next day, fortunately, they cleaned up and there was toilet paper. There was no toilet hedgehog in the toilet during our entire stay. The sink was stained with pasta in one place before our arrival, and remained so until the end. The cleaning lady never went out onto the balcony, apparently, she considered this territory a stranger. Unfortunately, after this incident, I did not manage to communicate with the hotel guide, since he had a weekend, and then we left for 2 two-day excursions. Well, God be with them. A priori, no money was left, since it all started with rudeness and such a cleaning lady clearly does not deserve a tip.
3. Food. I am picky about food, and there is something to compare with, in Turkey 3 times, so I didn’t like everything. With the abundance of the buffet, everything was very the same, there was no variety. Not much meat as such. Those. chicken, turkey, cutlets, fish - please, but specific meat in pieces - very few.
Everything changed in an instant upon the arrival of the owner, but then we were almost not at the hotel due to excursions (we had them almost in a row and two days). The guys we met there told us that we missed a lot.
4. The evening show program is one name, in fact it is not there. Either all for kids or Turkish dances performed by daytime waiters.
In short, the hotel positions itself as 5 stars. In fact, 3 plus. I believe that in a hotel that claims to be 5 stars, there should be at least 10 sunbeds more than there are people in the hotel, the food should be exactly the same as in the presence of the owner (we still caught 1 day and I couldn’t believe my eyes to their own - the tables were bursting with all sorts of dishes), and when they steal in the kitchen, this, IMHO, is by no means 5 stars. There should be a nightly show program, and there should be tables around the stage and drinks should be carried, but here there is only an amphitheater with stone seating slabs and pillows on them. I repeat once again, I have something to compare with and I know for sure that I will definitely not go to this hotel again and will not recommend it to my friends, although in general the impressions of the vacation, the sea and the beauty of Turkey itself, its nature, of course, don't take me away. But for 85.000 rubles in 10 days you can find a much better hotel. And I got the impression that I lived in a 3-star hotel in our south, except perhaps around palm trees, orange trees and the purest water.
As for excursions, we bought 2 two-day excursions from the hotel guide to Pamukkale and Cappadocia. I recommend to everyone to look at this beauty and inimitability. I was already in Pamukkale 10 years ago, but I wanted to return, the impressions were not erased for such a long time. My husband is absolutely delighted! Hard, of course, 2 days on the bus, but it's worth it. Only it is better to take them at the beginning or in the middle of the rest, and not at the end. In general, I hope that the negative from the hotel will be erased, and good impressions from Turkey, from its beauty will remain!
I really hope that my review will help people who have not yet decided on the hotel. By the way, when we walked along the seashore, 2 hotels nearby seemed to be quite good - "Renaissance and Salima". In Salim, by the way, it's a lot of fun, there are daily discos and show programs in the evening. And our friends walked around the territory and they really liked it. And we had a view of the balcony on the buildings of this hotel, I liked them much more, but again - there are a lot of buildings and not everywhere there are balconies and it is not known where you will be accommodated (even for a tip, there may simply not be places). If you have any questions about the hotel, please contact me. Do not judge for the opinion, this is MY PERSONAL OPINION! Good luck to everyone and have a great holiday in Turkey!
