Отель новый, но есть и МИНУСЫ. The hotel is new, but there are MINUSES.

We rested in Eldar from 08/29/2012 to 09/05/2012. The hotel is new and beautiful, the landscape is wonderful - mountains / trees / moon. But I want to write about the shortcomings of Eldar:
1) about FOOD. We hoped to try the original Turkish cuisine (for the first time we rested in Turkey), seafood, such as shrimp, mussels (after all, a sea power), at least some fruits and vegetables that do not grow with us and are not imported to us (We are from Belarus) such as a cactus, figs - figurines, here you have mashed potatoes, spaghetti, "precipitation" of meatballs))) grass and tomatoes with cucumbers (also not always of excellent quality)
well, at least watermelon, peaches, grapes were - periodically true sour, and melon - always tasteless ((
Perhaps I expected too much in terms of food from a 4 * hotel, but all the same I was not satisfied with the food, ordinary food, like in a sanatorium canteen, yes - we weren’t hungry, but we didn’t manage to gourmet (

drinks are a separate conversation, concentrated juices are not juices, but such a bad thing like paint a little diluted with water, it smelled of anything but not fruit, and the paint tasted bad-horror-and-nightmare, some just immediately had a stomachache ((drank either just water, or their Turkish tea (from teapots), because packaged = concentrated juice (see above), even cola (which I almost don’t drink at all) was more pleasant than this “juice” and “tea”.
I have no particular complaints about the waiters - they are usually smiling, courteous.
2) about NOISE. We lived on the side overlooking the pool and the stage. The noise of music / animation was from 10.00 to 24.00, the closed balcony did not really help if you are traveling with children - about a dinner dream or a dream at 22.00 - and there can be no question, the elderly also hardly liked this noise, but for young people in just right - noise-gam-sausage. and the pool works, it makes noise around the clock, although thank God this is not screaming music and animation.
3) In occasion of the SMELL from cleaning - really WAS, when it is stronger, when it is less, generally in the evening.
4) I liked the BEACH, although it was pebbly, in general, yes - we actually saw a couple of cigarette butts in the sand, but in general, after the beaches of Ukraine, we liked it, there were enough sunbeds, the sea was clean, the guard was on duty, the towels didn’t seem to be stolen from us)))
In principle, for the first time a good rest turned out:
- I would give 3 points for the food,
- for drinks - 1 point (for the presence of pure water in bottles)
- for cleaning the room - 3 points, they asked the cleaner to wash the toilet from the outside (the inside was clean, but from the outside - I don’t care that when I sit on it I see THIS 8) )
- for the room itself - 4 points (although on the first day the refrigerator = mini-bar warmed like a stove, they asked the guide Aziz to figure it out, until the last day no one came)
- for animation - 3 points (too many flat-vulgar jokes in the contests, despite the fact that the audience was also children. although I liked the fakir show - and this is the only one of the 7 days of rest ((

If the very territory and the building of the Eldar Hotel (new, beautiful - a big plus), along with the mountains, were moved to another, not smelly place, to conjure over the kitchen and especially drinks, to make the windows less permeable to noise, then we could come here again, And so, it is unlikely that we will go here again. Rather, I would NOT advise visiting Eldar than I would advise, at least, families with children, pensioners and people who want to get peace and quiet from their vacation. For young people, this is a completely normal vacation, given that night discos, noise, sometimes vulgar animators are important to them, and they may well score on food, drink and stink : )
And so good luck and prosperity to Eldar Resort, and most importantly CHANGES for the better! : )
