самый лучший отпуск! the best vacation ever!

We returned from this hotel 5 days ago. To be honest, I really did not want to go to this hotel, because the reviews about it were not at all flattering. I was sure that the vacation was ruined in advance. . . But we left with tears in our eyes! We went for 13 days, but that was not enough! There are disadvantages, of course. . . But I think you can find them in any hotel. Hotel: We arrived at 7 am and we were immediately settled in a room on the 1st floor overlooking the restaurant. But it didn't bother us too much. . . On the 4th floor, the rooms are large, with a jacuzzi. . . The room is good, cozy, but I had to move 2 single beds, there was a telephone, hairdryer, TV set. The only problem is the air conditioner is one name but we slept with an open balcony. The hotel itself is cozy, small, nice pool; very beautiful, green territory of the hotel and a view of the mountains, tangerines, oranges, lemons grow on the territory. . . Free sauna and hammam (although neither worked during the first week of our stay), the masseur is very praised, who does an awesome massage for a fee! It was really close to the beach, but the entrance to the sea was not easy, we went from the pier. The sea was clean and transparent. Food: to be honest, I thought it would be worse. . There was no meat (only soy), but almost every day they gave boiled or fried chicken, sometimes liver. Often fried mussels, shrimp on fire (show). There was a good selection of different salads, vegetables. . From the side dish is usually cold pasta or rice with vermicelli. Sweets - not very much, do not eat much. . . every day they gave melon, watermelon, sometimes grapes. Many were dissatisfied with the food, they wanted Russian dumplings and meat. . but in my opinion for 3 stars the kitchen justifies itself. The chefs tried very hard to please and were very worried when there was something left on the plates that had not been eaten. Drinks: the beer was non-alcoholic, because no matter how much we drank it, there was no effect, only we constantly ran to the toilet. . But delicious! Haven't tried raki. The bartender Ali constantly gave me "sex on the beach" ; ) - treated me with his cocktails - not bad. But I usually drank local wine. I liked their coffee, tea - not very, some kind of bitter. The pool bar was open until 18:00, on the beach until 22:30 (there we basically had a break in the evenings). Service: very friendly and helpful staff, some understand Russian, they also spoke Russian at the reception. Cleaning - not very good, we were cleaned only 3 times in 2 weeks, no tip was left, so cleaning was limited to changing towels, making beds, never vacuumed. Entertainment: there were 2 animators - very good guys, they constantly played music in the morning and afternoon, invited to play water polo and darts, but there were always few people, many were passive. . . The 1st time we did play darts was a lot of fun! In the evening (sometimes) they arranged shows, competitions. . . But we never went there, we were waiting for the start of the disco on the beach - super! After 00:00 animators invite everyone to a local disco - admission is free, we went 1 time - not bad in principle. In general, we had a lot of fun and good! We got acquainted with all the youth and every evening we sat in a friendly cheerful company, drank, smoked a hookah, danced! In general, we really liked it! I understood the main thing - it's important - it's a positive attitude and a great mood, and all these are the minuses of the hotel. . . you just have to stop thinking about them! I fell in love with Turkey!
