The Magic Sun Hotel is the worst place I've ever stayed.

On the day of our arrival, we arrived at the hotel and, instead of being checked in, were told we'd have to wait about eight hours. My husband was immediately offered to "resolve the issue" for 20 euros and upgrade us immediately to a supposedly new, upgraded room.

When we entered this "upgraded" room, we were shocked. The toilet seat was pee-stained, the door wouldn't close properly, the tiny window overlooked a landfill, and the room itself was on the fifth floor, essentially in the attic.

We went to ask for a room upgrade, but suddenly the price for the "upgrade" had increased to 50 euros. Unfortunately, we agreed to pay. The second room wasn't much better: everything was broken, holes in the walls and furniture, and the bed linens were dirty.

After contacting the tour operator, they promised to resolve the issue that same day, but nothing happened. It wasn't until the next day, after meeting with Anex Tour representative Violetta, that we were finally relocated. A huge thank you to Violetta—it was only thanks to her that the room issue finally got off the ground. The room was better than the previous ones, but it was still far from up to par.

The food is a separate story. I was worried that after an all-inclusive vacation, I'd bring home extra pounds, but I ended up losing weight. The food is monotonous and tasteless. The only edible items are rice and flatbread, which people literally fight over.

The lines are huge: many people line up 20-30 minutes before breakfast, lunch, or dinner. People line up in droves and then literally run to the food distribution. It feels like you're not on vacation, but in a cafeteria during a shortage.
The freshly squeezed orange juice was a particular surprise. It would seem like Turkey, fruit season, and an all-inclusive system. But you have to pay extra for a glass of orange juice—1 euro. Considering the already poor food, this seemed especially odd and unpleasant.

An additional "surprise" was the mosque located nearby. The call to prayer is heard about five times a day, including early in the morning. At 4:30 AM, I was woken up by the loud sound every time. Even as an adult, I found it uncomfortable; I can't imagine what it's like for families with small children.

The only positive thing I can mention is the entertainment staff—they're very friendly. I'd also like to mention Roman and Aladdin, who offer excursions along the way to the sea. They're very pleasant, positive, and unobtrusive.

My vacation was completely ruined. Instead of enjoying the sea and relaxing, I was counting down the days until I returned home.
Before booking our tour, we read the reviews, and they seemed perfectly reasonable. But the reality turned out to be completely different. If you want to ruin your vacation, worry about relocating, stand in endless lines for food, and wake up at 4:30 a. m. , take the risk. For us, the Magic Sun was a complete disappointment and the worst hotel we've ever stayed at.
