In July 2009, we rested with my daughter in this hotel. We chose a decent 3 * for a long time, I wanted the room to be clean, comfortable, not far from the sea and with a decent pool. We reviewed many options, but the choice was stopped, namely on Armada Park. And we must immediately say that our choice was successful. We arrived at the hotel around 9-30 AM, filled in the registration cards, waited a bit and after 20-25 minutes received the keys to our room 222 on the second floor. In reality, this is the 3rd floor, but the numbering in the hotel elevator: - 1, Lobby, 1.2, 3rd floor. Our room turned out to be very small and cozy, and most importantly, clean, bright and tidy - decent dark-colored furniture, a large mirror above the table, 2 beds, a bedside table, a cabinet for luggage, a closet in the hallway with el. a safe ($2 per day), a small refrigerator and a TV with two Russian channels, eye-catching sconces above the beds and by the mirror. The floor in the room is carpeted. In the bathroom - shower, hair dryer, shampoo, shower gel. The individual air conditioner worked perfectly, and, most importantly, even when we left the room and removed the key from the power socket. . A large window overlooked the patio, the pool. The absence of a balcony in the room did not upset us at all. The hotel building itself is neat and clean inside and out, no smells anywhere. Private beach within walking distance - sun loungers, mattresses, umbrellas - free of charge and in sufficient quantity. There is a shower, there are no beach towels, they are not allowed to take towels out of the room even to the pool. Guests of other hotels are not allowed on the beach. The beach bar is a tent with drinking water. The hotel is located on a street with a huge number of shops where you can buy everything you need, from souvenirs to Turkish sweets, across the road there is a decent restaurant with a large selection of Turkish dishes, fresh fish and seafood. Friendly and helpful staff of the hotel, almost all speak Russian quite fluently. Very decent Turkish bath hammam - free of charge. For $ 20 they do peeling, foam massage, mask, body massage with aroma oils. The duration of the procedure is 120 minutes. We didn’t go ourselves, but ads hang all over the hotel and many praised. The biggest problem with the hotel is the restaurant and bar. In fairness, I note that breakfast in Armada Park differs little from breakfast in 4-5 * hotels. Exactly the same sausage, sausages and soy ham, cheese, cheese and boiled eggs, muesli, jam, honey, jam. Things are worse with lunches and dinners - only chicken from meat once in 8 days. I'm not saying that we were starving, several times there was delicious fish - fried and baked with vegetables, potatoes, pasta, eggplant sauté ed, fried cheese rolls, stuffed tomatoes. Of the fruits were watermelons, melons, plums, apricots, apples, peaches, cherries. Very good desserts and Turkish sweets. A wide range of tea bags, Turkish tea and coffee from the Titans. I was pleasantly surprised that an empty dish was always replaced with a new one, and the chef was always (!!! ) wearing special gloves! I have rarely seen this even in de Luxe hotels. In a word, for 3 * - more than decent. However, it is difficult to call the premises a restaurant - plastic chairs, tables without tablecloths, frequent shortage of plates, cups and glasses, poor washing of glasses in the bar. The walls of the hall restaurant are decorated with paintings by the owner's wife. Impressive! A lot of air, expression. . . Here, frames, I would like to be richer! By the beginning of breakfast, lunch and dinner, a huge line of hungry people line up in front of the entrance, which immediately after opening the doors goes to the counter of second courses to the left of the entrance. And we immediately went to the right to the table of cold appetizers, where it was always free. Draft beer appeared at the hotel only on the eve of our departure, before that there was bottled beer, which in itself is not bad. The only bad thing is that the drinks in the bar are not cooled - there is no roomy refrigerator and a good ice machine. Therefore, we managed with a refrigerator in the room, but running for beer and water to the room or to the bar on the 2nd floor, and then carrying drinks to the pool is not very convenient! Drinking water can be collected in the coolers of the restaurant and bar, or you can buy it on the street - $ 1 for 1.5 liters. The main contingent of holidaymakers in the hotel are Turks, especially a lot of them come for the weekend. They themselves are very calm, but their children are the guard! There are representatives of Kazakhstan and Moldova and Russia. There is no animation in the hotel, from entertainment - a water slide and very loud Turkish music from the bar on the terrace. Nearby are 5 * hotels - "Zena Resort" - on the right and "Asdem" - on the left. That, in fact, is all that I wanted to say. I hope that my review will help someone make the right choice during the crisis. Good luck and have a good rest!
