I read several good reviews. Well done people! Positive is to be found everywhere. I read the reviews, looked at the pictures, remembered, laughed heartily! We, in fact, also had no choice but to relax, rest and just laugh at how we got there ! ! I'll tell you in order to make it clear. Read, who is satisfied with what I write, that one, please, welcome to Melissa. But think 200 times! I perfectly understand that this is a three-ruble note, I agree that it can be modest, but at least it’s clean and the dishes are washed! It's a complete mess right there. BUT, we read good reviews, which apparently are written by these hotel employees themselves and, satisfied with their choice, waved with a friend on vacation.
So start. . .
ACCOMMODATION AND HAMAM: We flew in, boarded the bus - everything is ok, Pegasus met, drove, everything is fine. The guide on the way from the airport was almost silent, did not say anything, but oh well, everyone was tired and did not particularly want to. As soon as we arrived at Melissa, the hotel guide (a friendly boy) just ran out to meet us, was glad to see us, as his close relatives, grabbed our heavy suitcases, and brought us to the hotel. (Wow, the guide carries suitcases…) Immediately, by default, we put $15 in the passport, because I did not want to sit for a long time and wait for a room at all. And then we were very glad that we did it, because. We saw how people toiled and waited for settlement. Either someone was settled there in rooms for staff, then they were moved to strangers, in general, horror. did not find our eyes. ) So settled. Somehow, almost immediately we ended up in Hamam (he is in Melis at the hotel). Here I want to stop. We were tired after the flight and wanted to rest, so we agreed to go there. They do a good massage, and for that kind of money, for example, it’s hard to buy a massage from us. But in the hammam itself, it is completely UNSANITARY!! ! The sinks are dirty, the water in the toilets is knee-deep, it’s very unpleasant to touch everything, even squeamish… Masseurs do not forget to offer their suggestions to take a walk together, massage there, massage there… Having been refused, they didn’t greet us for several days)))))) ahahaha . In general, we advise you to look for a cleaner in the city!

HOTEL TERRITORY: She is not. At the entrance - an abandoned bar, where empty bottles of beer and other drinks were constantly standing. If you turn the corner, then there is supposedly a children's playroom. In which all unnecessary junk is thrown, such as mattresses, mattresses, chairs and some old children's toys. Bar only near the pool operating. There are also empty bottles all the time. Bartenders - 15-year-old boys, who then lit there with our elderly aunts - this is a terrible sight! Small swimming pool with slide. Near the pool, only some kind of drunks gathered. Which in the morning they began to pour into themselves, so by the evening they then stormed the canteen in wet shorts in order to break through to food! )))) Approximately the same audience was there in the evening, who drank in this bar at the Basik until you drop. There were water coolers on the floors of the hotel, which were filled for 15 minutes, no more. Then everyone sorted the water into bottles and that's it, they arrived, there was no water. Dirty dishes were always standing right in the corridor, next to empty coolers and right there the cleaning lady's mop with a dirty rag.
CONTENT: Actually, I have already described above who approximately rests in this hotel. I don’t know, maybe we were lucky with the race there, but the audience was really “Tagil rules! ” Always drunk in the trash, beating each other's muzzles, obscenities so that their ears curled up, children running after barely walking moms and dads... We ourselves can break away on vacation, join the company with pleasure, light it up, but here it was simply not possible to do it with whom. We were from St. Petersburg and another woman with whom we talked every evening. The rest, either like a teacher from Perm, who is generally for the first time abroad and is being swindled here by everyone who is not lazy, or full of cattle, broadcasting to each other “What are you, knocking out your teeth ?? ” The first days all this caused a real shock!
BEACH AND SEA: The hotel is located on the third line, it takes 30 minutes to go to the city beach, it was specially spotted. In the heat - there is little joy. Moreover, the city beach is the beach of all hotels + local residents, in general, everything is there, the crowd of people + the pebbles there are very large, just cobblestones. It is normal not to go into the sea, not to go out. Therefore, we preferred to go to the beach, which is from the hotel. They took him on a minibus according to the schedule. People crowded there like herrings in a jar, gathered people in several hotels. But, because to go on the strength of 7 minutes, it could be tolerated. This beach is really very good. Calm, there are always sun loungers, the entrance to the sea is good, small pebbles, the sea is wonderful. The bar on the beach is paid (water $1, juice $2, beer $4). It is especially good that there are no hotels around, only the sea and mountains. The guys on the beach are friendly and the owner of the beach with his little daughter always made a good impression. Foam parties are held on the beach every other day. They arrive, pick up from hotels and then return back. We rode, danced, jumped in the foam, then swam in the sea, we liked it.
FOOD: This is generally a separate song. We used to go half-starved there all the time. Meat is a must in our diet. It's not there at all. Cucumbers, weathered tomatoes, greens (very often poorly washed, with the ground). The rest is not edible. Soy mini - cutlets and even then not every day and salted, eggplant, boiled to sour and sometimes, in food warmers, you could find pieces of yesterday's chicken, if you stir it well with a spoon, you will find a little. Offal and some strange fish (not edible at all) were grilled on the street. Behind this phenomenon, a wild queue lined up, some left without waiting. A couple of times we caught a chicken on a spit (like our shawarma) - it was not bad, but only a couple of times and again through a huge queue. Watermelons were every day, but sometimes not fresh and smelled of rotten and sour. They also gave melons and unripe plums several times. The sweet is not tasty, some lumps in the syrup are strange, although Turkish sweets are a miracle! We went to the city and bought delicious things for ourselves, brought them with us for dinner, for breakfast and rejoiced. And at the hotel our main dessert was beer with plums)))). In general, food deuce!

SERVICE: All the staff are very young. Guys aged 15-20. It would seem that, on the contrary, everything should be fast and smart, but this is not so. The tables in the “restaurant” are always dirty, and if someone comes to wipe it, they do it with such an old and tortured rag that they don’t want to eat after that. There were not enough cutlery and cups for tea all the time, we had to go to the kitchen ourselves and ask for one or we caught someone from the staff and then waited another 15 minutes for them to take it out. The plates are dirty, either on one side or the other. The rooms were not cleaned well. As we drove into the room with dusty bedside tables and stained headboards by the beds and a wardrobe, it was like that all the time, no one was even going to wipe the dust. They did it themselves. Once we discovered that after cleaning, instead of two large towels, we were given one. They told about it at the reception. To which they received the answer: “Go to the third floor, there should be a cleaning lady, look for her and ask. She understands Russian…” They didn’t find the cleaning lady after going through all four floors, but instead they found them on the fourth, where they keep all sorts of household items (toilet paper, etc. ). Then they knew where to go and take, if something is not in the room. Any other services you can get there, they can be offered to you directly by the girl from the reception. Who should ride on a yacht with local Turks, and who should ask right at check-in: “Do you want a man? ”....I understand that everyone goes for their own, but what really is it??
CONCLUSION: In Turkey, namely in Kemer, there is a beautiful sea, wonderful mountains (I strongly advise you to go to Tokhtalysh). But with the choice of a hotel you need to be careful, because. There is a very big chance to ruin your vacation. I strongly advise you not to go to Melissa. And so, I wish you a pleasant vacation, take care of yourself and good luck! P. S. Take all excursions in the city, there is everything that Pegasus offers, but at a completely different price. I also posted photos, admire and remember that your own rest depends on your choice!
