Хорошо отдохнули We had great rest

We were in this hotel for 9 days with my husband, we returned on June 21. Basically, we had a very good rest. The hotel is good, but if you are looking for something to complain about - of course you will find it, because to please everyone is unrealistic. But that's exactly what management and staff do: they try to please everyone.

ACCOMMODATION. The hotel consists of the main new building (U-shaped 5-storey building) and the old 2-storey building by the sea (the former hotel "Sosenka" - Pine). My husband and I went for a swim, bask in the sun, and initially we wanted to get into the building by the sea, we prepared $ 50 as a reinforcement for requests during the settlement. I was a little worried about the fact that in the old building there may be problems with plumbing and the room will be poorly furnished. Didn't need to. We were immediately assigned to this building. The room is cramped, but cozy and neat as the building itself. With plumbing, there were no problems - everything worked well.

As well as TV, air conditioning, hair dryer, refrigerator. There were funny moments with the cleaning of the room - but all problems are easily solved through simple human communication and the notorious dollar on the bedside table.

NUTRITION. Turkish and European cuisine. Plenty of food, fresh and varied. The restaurant has a lot of staff: both servants and cooks on duty at the counters with snacks, hot, salads, fruits and desserts. Considering "our" mentality (95% are residents of the CIS, this is a feature of this particular hotel), people filled their plates with food and did not bring it to the table - but the scattered pieces of food did not lie on the floor - in a moment everything was picked up, wiped. This is true for the entire territory of the hotel: the staff constantly washed, cleaned, wiped - everything looked tidy and well-groomed. There were a lot of fresh vegetables and herbs. There are several types of meat (and I don't call Turkish-made sausages and sausages "meat", that goes without saying), fish.
Side dishes - like traditional rice, potatoes (mashed, stewed, boiled), and all sorts of lasagna, casseroles. I didn’t like the first one a bit - mashed soups, but also several types. Desserts - for an amateur. Desserts, snacks, salads, morning jams, yoghurts - 30 types, no less. Very good pastries. Separately, it must be said about drinks. Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, carbonated water (which for some reason was called "Schweppes") and beer "Efes Pilsner" - were brought in kegs with factory seals, I saw it myself. The wine is also very good - dry white and red. Vodka, rakia, gin and whiskey are not for everybody. Well, all sorts of childhood drinks are soluble juices. The children liked their colorful cocktails with syrups (and there were VERY many children).

I also feel sorry for moms and dads with children, because it was impossible to drag the children away from the snack bar and the barbecue area - french fries were constantly cooked, there were trays with hamburgers (bun + sausage) and about 2 dozen salad bowls with vegetables, herbs and ketchups - assemble your own hamburgers. In addition, pizza and open tortillas with meat. Well, and a Turkish woman, of course, who cooked Turkish cakes with fillings. There was always a lot of food - how much they ate, so much they cooked. If suddenly something was dismantled from the tray, then they immediately brought a new one.

ATTITUDE TO TOURISTS. Almost all staff speak Russian. They try to please. But here's my personal opinion - they seem to be talking nasty things behind their backs. And when a small herd of Turkish schoolchildren came for a few days, there was a slight "national discrimination" - at the bars for cola, the kids did not stand in line like everyone else, but received everything at once directly from the bartenders (or whatever they are).
But on the other hand, in relation to the downright "respectful" Turkish children, our "kids" treated the staff frankly in a boorish way. So, perhaps, the attitude of the Turks towards "ours" in general is somewhere justified.

TERRITORY. In the official description of the hotel, a very precise word is given - "compact". On a piece of land, they tried to cram everything to the maximum. But at the same time there is no feeling that everything is on each other's ears. That is, thoughtfully "shoved". In general, a lot of greenery and everything is very neat and tidy.

BEACH. Small, bunk, but there are sun loungers on the pier and near the pools - you can find free ones at any time. The sea is incomparable - the water is clean and indescribable either turquoise or azure.
The Mediterranean Sea is saltier than the Black Sea, drowning is problematic : ) From the pier, you could always (and especially in the morning) look at flocks of fish, large herrings (the breed was not determined, gray herrings with black and white spots on their tails) were already used to being thrown bread and just waiting for handouts.


TOUR OPERATOR. Turtess. Respect and respect. Thoughtful, high-quality and very clear scam for money : ) On the very first day, a guide comes and immediately takes it by the gills for excursions "choose right away, then I won't be able to - I'll be busy with others, go to pamukkale urgently - next year UNESCO will select and close it "moreover, the price is the cost of street travel agencies multiplied by 2. The argument "we are the only ones who are responsible for your safety and take you on excursions with insurance" is pure tryndez.
No one saw the insurance in the eyes, and the one that was seen along with vouchers and plane tickets - in small print it is popularly written that "I'm not my house, help yourself. "

All in all, we had a very good trip. I got what I wanted - a view of the sea, clean air with the scent of flowers, beautiful territory, good food and remoteness in the evenings from noise and din. Sorry for the "many beeches".
