We arrived at 14-45 (no one thought to offer us food, we were hungry until 19-30 in the evening, although last year in another hotel we were fed upon arrival at the hotel at 23 o'clock, despite the fact that dinner ended at 21 o'clock) , settled in the main building, where the reception, the suitcase was brought to the 3rd floor, we gave 1 dollar to the porter with pleasure, the view from the room was on the neighboring residential Turkish house, during the rest we watched Turkish life, The double room is not just small, but tiny, 1 bedside table for 2.1 bench for two, a mirror hanging for tourists from China (for height 155-160 cm), with a height of 170 and 175 cm, only part of the abdomen was seen in the mirror. There are enough hangers in the closet, but there is not a single shelf, some of the things had to be put on the closet, there was not a single chair in the room, I had to bring a rusty chair from the balcony, cover it with a bag and use it. The floor was tile, the air conditioner was individual, it worked well, the bathroom was clean, tiled, everything worked, the water was hot from 8 am until late in the evening, the hair dryer worked, there was plenty of toilet paper, the toilet bowl was clean, 1 time they put 2 bottles of shampoo on 30 ml and 2 soaps 20 gr each. The beds are new, the mattresses are satin, it is comfortable to sleep, the beds are clean, the towels are for the shower, for the face, for the legs. The bed and towels were changed almost every day, 8 times in 10 days, the towels were not thrown on the floor, because they were still clean, but the maid still changed them on her own initiative. TV worked, 2 Russian channels. At the reception they asked for an iron to iron things, to which they replied that they don’t give an iron, but offered to bring things to be ironed by the maid for an additional fee: 1 item-1 dollar! We resolved this issue within an hour, bought in 82 stores for 12 dollars an iron and ironed for pleasure as much as they wanted. Cleaning in the room took place in different ways, then they didn’t clean it for 2 days in a row, then they cleaned it very well for several days in a row, 1 dollar was left periodically, but this did not affect the quality of cleaning. The food is not bad, varied, I really liked the sweets, there were 4-5 types, the dishes are very clean, there are no plastic glasses at all, beer, cocktails, vodka was poured into beautiful clean glasses, wine - into glasses, near the coffee machine cups for coffee with saucers, water from a cooler, we saw how water in a glass was served during lunch to the owner of the hotel and the manager, they dined with the vacationers, ate the same food as we did. All inclusive works from 10-30 to 22-00, after 22-00 the bar closes, the lights go out, the bartender and all the attendants go to rest, and only the receptionist on duty is awake. Getting something in the bar for money after 10 pm is out of the question! Quiet and grace descends on the hotel. There is also peace and quiet in the buildings, the young people leave to have fun in all directions, and the old people after the day's bustle go to rest. At night, no one and nothing disturbs peace and quiet. Everything is very quiet, decent, calm, even none of our compatriots got drunk, did not shout, did not have fun. The service staff treats vacationers with deep indifference, they hardly know Russian, they speak a little Russian at the reception, and a little older waiter. If Ukrainians want the Russian-speaking Turks not to understand them, then they speak Ukrainian, it’s cool, we tried, the Turks really can’t understand what is at stake, they turn their heads in surprise, trying to understand what’s the matter and they don’t understand. . . A very colorful figure, the hotel's chef, aged 35-36, a balding, getting fat subject, goes out "to people" every day, watches the vacationers with a hating look, and God forbid, one of his assistants will put the tourist a second piece of chicken or the second pancake (as was the case with us) - a guttural menacing shout is immediately heard in the direction of the intruder, the boy, the assistant cook blushes, lowers his eyes and mumbles something in his defense, such scenes do not need translation, and so everything is clear. Vacationers nicknamed the chef a bulldog among themselves. The behavior of the chef does not raise the rating of the hotel, although he himself, it seems to me, does not give a damn about this. Once again we saw how during the day, during lunch, they chlorinated a large pool, poured 4 kg of dry disinfectant into a pool of 70 square meters. m. And no one was warned about this. Several young girls began to swim in the pool after lunch (10 minutes after chlorination), as during lunch they were busy eating and did not see how they fell asleep with disinfectants. This fact once again emphasizes the indifference and indifference of the hotel workers to the guests. There is no massage in the hotel, there is no hammam in the hotel. The beach is close, the presence of the trash was not annoying, there were no smells from the trash, the sea is clean, the water is warm, the beach is $ 2 per person, the sunbeds are almost close to each other, but there were always enough sunbeds, the beach staff paid increased interest in young girls, which not everyone liked, so some vacationers were forced to go to the beaches of other hotels, the fee is almost the same for everyone. As a result: the hotel is not so bad, but next time, definitely, we will not go to it!
