Знакомство с Турцией Acquaintance with Turkey

Three of us, all girls, went through Turtez. We started booking the tour late, so the choice was either to fly here or not to fly at all. With the transfer, everything went smoothly both there and in the opposite direction, although it was the first time we flew. We are very satisfied with the work of the guide Alexandra, she did not need to be looked for, she was always at her workplace, she was pleasant to talk to. Excursions were also taken from the guide, perhaps overpaid, but were satisfied. Especially liked the day yacht. Pamuk Kale is tedious, from 06.00 to 23.00, the Cleopatra pool is paid separately and the pure excursion takes only 2.5 hours. The rest is the road and visits to shopping centers with exorbitant prices. Wine and Turkish delight are better to take in nearby shops.
Upon arrival, we left our suitcases in the hall, put on bracelets and went to have breakfast. The breakfast menu is standard: boiled eggs, buns (very tasty), milk oatmeal porridge, several types of cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, cereals, yogurt and a variety of jams.
After 12.00 we were invited to the reception and given the key to the room, we did not pay extra, but we were lucky with the number. On the 3rd floor, with a gorgeous view of the mountains and the pool. Cons: the room was not cleaned after previous guests and the bathroom was embarrassing (fungus on the walls, a rusty screw sticking out in the middle of a leaking ceiling, a rather shabby bathroom). Almost immediately a woman appeared to clean, gave her a tip and asked to pay special attention to cleaning the bathroom, it worked)))) immediately everything became much more joyful to look at. No more tips were given, cleaning took place almost every day, only when no one was in the room. If someone was, then the cleaning lady could look in and never come back. Of course, it was already simpler, without swans)))

We tried to turn on the TV, there are 4 Russian-language channels.
The safe at the reception was not used, nothing was missing from the room.
The restaurant resembled a canteen, queues for the beginning of the meal, but there is a chance to grab something tasty that ends quickly. Or you can come later, skip the line to choose from the remaining range. Breakfast 2.5 hours, lunch and dinner only 1.5. Snack - 30 minutes, delicious pastries, taken apart instantly. For the first one there was one type of soup, it was never taken. From meat, they saw only chicken in different manifestations every day, someone wrote that there was lamb - I was surprised. I love vegetables, so only an abundance of zucchini, blue ones, various stews, sauté ed, etc. From fruits were plums, grapes without pitted delicious, oranges and apples. Everyone was full, by the end of the rest they even got better. About drinks: from the machine, White coffee was recognized as the most delicious, normal local beer and white wine, more often poured into glass, not plastic.
The bartenders and waiters were satisfied with the work, the nicest people.
There are two pools, one near the bar, the main one with slides, the other behind the building. The beach is close, 2 minutes walk across the road. At 10.00 there may be no free sunbeds, but by 12.00 they will definitely appear when everyone rushes to dinner. You can always go to the nearby beach on the left and lie down on small pebbles, it is almost empty. For swimming bought special. shoes or went from the pier into the water. The water in the sea is wonderful, always clear, very salty, warm, azure, a complete delight!!!

In the evening we tried to have dinner on the open terrace in order to stay at a table for the evening program. It is more focused on children and perhaps monotonous, but the attitude of the animators towards children was captivated, it’s nice to look. For adults, from the entertainment of table tennis, darts, water polo, aqua aerobics, mini disco. Once there was a fire show. The all-inclusive bar is open until 22.00.
There is Wi-Fi internet in the lobby, they can help you set it up. There is a joke that it is for this that the hotel received the fourth star)))
"The spa center is rented, they forgot to change the showers of 20 years ago due to the pinning of the 4th star on the facade. Sauna... It is so... old. Free only from 4 to 6 in the sauna, nothing else is FREE. " - This is a quote from another review, I fully confirm. Hamam took $ 25 each, I liked it in general and especially how they sang, I did not know that this was part of the ritual. They immediately offer a series of back massages, you need to bargain up to 6-10 dollars for a massage + masks as a gift. There was a case when one person was denied a massage for $ 10 + the phrase "Learn to talk, then come" was said while trying to bargain adhering to the business style of communication and immediately another girl was provided with this service for this price in double volume, being in the same room within audibility. So it's not just the price. . .
In general, the holiday was a success, but I would not return to this hotel.
In dealing with tourists on the positive side, I heard a lot about the hotels Poseidon, Akka, Larissa Park 3 *, Crystal.
