ожидали лучшего expected better

We were in Turkey for the first time, chose a hotel on our own, paid attention to the reviews, expected the best. The hotel is located in a good location - on the first line from the sea and on the second - from the road, which causes silence and fresh air, very close to the sea, the water in the sea is clean, the entrance to the sea is good, small pebbles, crowding of people on the beach is small , the beach itself is very large, there are enough sunbeds, mattresses and towels - for free. It is difficult to call a bar on the beach as such - at the very toilet, on a small table, coffee, water, cola are poured. We arrived at the hotel at 9.40, immediately sent for breakfast, checked in, changed in the sauna, left the bags at the reception and headed to the pool. Settled in a room on the second floor (they are considered the first) at 12.00, no extra charge. Many vacationers are outraged that they are not settled immediately, but this is also stipulated in the rules of all hotels - check-in at 14.00, so there is no need to be nervous, it is better to change clothes, swim and sunbathe, without wasting time before check-in. The room is clean, well-groomed, no frills, but the bed is white, but not very good, there are blankets, no duvet covers, instead of them - rough sheets - 2, and there were three of us, we constantly had to go and ask for the third one, because after cleaning her room cleaned, the same was with the towels. In the bathroom, instead of bubbles with detergents and soap, there are 2 reservoirs, as in public toilets, with cloudy gel and more transparent, they were not signed in any way, they said at the reception - in one - soap, in the other - shampoo, as a result, they used their brought. Air conditioning in the room and TV worked well, 4 Russian channels. In the mini-bar upon arrival they put 0.5 liters of water per person for free, there is nothing more. Safe in the room for a fee -2 USD. per day. An iron is given upon request - 3 dollars. at one o'clock. There were no complaints about nutrition - the food was delicious, varied, there was always meat - chicken, turkey, lamb cutlets, a lot of vegetables, salads too, but as an amateur, we mostly ate cucumbers and tomatoes. With fruit, the situation is worse - at the height of the season - only apples, watermelon, melon, oranges, grapefruits. There were many different sweets, but there was no ice cream. Instead of juices, diluted Jupi from the machines, coffee in the machines is instant, there is no custard, even for a fee. In general, there is almost nothing in the bars, only drinks. From 10.00 animators begin to pester everyone with their entertainment. As for the quality of the animation, I can’t say anything - it didn’t interest us, we didn’t go to the disco either. From vacationers - almost all Russians. This year the hotel has moved to the hotel chain "Larisa Hotel", so there are no foreigners. There is almost no territory, only a pool between two buildings, 7 palm trees. But despite some shortcomings, they were satisfied with the rest.
