We were supposed to rest in Gardena from 11 to 24 September 2010. But after six days of staying at the hotel, we were evicted due to my husband's accusation of sexual harassment of a receptionist. This may sound like nonsense, and that is how it is seen by us now from the outside, but it happened to us in reality. My husband was going to go to the beach (I went there earlier because I don’t like to sleep for a long time) and while waiting for the bus, he asked the reception to see a figurine-doll in national clothes. I touched her, shook her legs - such dolls are sold in souvenir shops - after one, returned the girl to the reception and went out into the street. So what he did wrong, what SHE imagined or WHAT was behind all this is unknown. Suddenly, 3 guards and the director flew out, began to wring his hands. In bewilderment, he showed that he was not resisting, but the director (or whoever he was), splashing with saliva from rabies, hit her husband in the eye and broke his sunglasses, and then kept turning his cheek, provoking a retaliatory blow. I thank God that my husband was smart enough to restrain himself and not answer....
Pegasus tour operator Olga came and immediately blurted out: “How tired of you Russians, you are nothing but problems. ” All she did to solve our problems was to move to another hotel with a lower category. But that's another story and claims to the tour operator. The vacation was completely ruined. It's not just about money and nerves, but about the feeling of injustice and impunity of what is happening in a foreign country. . .
A few days before the incident, I watched a picture at the reception of how 4 Russian tourists were refused to settle. First, they registered, put on bracelets, and sent them to dinner. But then they began to kick me out of the hotel, saying that there was a mistake, they do not have a reservation and they do not have the right to be there. Our tourists stood their ground, did not go anywhere, and by the evening they were still given numbers. So there are big problems with settling there. The hotel is overcrowded, as well as all hotels in Turkey this year, and the Turks take advantage of this and become impudent, stop cherishing tourists, respecting them.

Maybe the hotel staff was tired by the end of the season, maybe this is how they solve problems with settling, but when we were asked to vacate the room a few hours after the incident, we didn’t find out about ourselves. It turns out that this is not the first time we have problems: we molested someone in a restaurant (although who should we molest there? ), My husband took off his underpants in front of the hotel and showed his dignity... It’s disgusting to even remember. I don't understand why they put up with us for so long! I repeat once again: from the outside it seems nonsense, but it happened to us and can happen to anyone. I treated Turkey with love and respect, but the 4th trip will now be the last.
About the hotel: a good, solid hotel, with high-quality, not very sophisticated food and a cozy area, service at the level. About the lack of sun loungers on the beach - true. And one more thing: the windows of many rooms do not overlook the mountains and the garden, but look directly into the opposite hotel and the utility yard, where there is never any sun. The lower rooms in the new building are half hidden in the ground, I think it is not sunny there either. That's basically all about an unforgettable vacation in the Garden Resort.
