Обьективная оценка отеля Objective assessment of the hotel

I'll start with the minuses, because it is more likely for this that you read reviews, fearing to get into a bad hotel. I will try to evaluate objectively, since this was my 12th trip to Turkey. I can reassure you, the cons are minor. I compare it with 5 *, so perhaps my requirements for the hotel are a bit overpriced, but even if we take this into account, the hotel pulls in as much as 4 *, if not for the second coastline. So cons - there are 2 buildings, old and new. Everyone is initially settled in the old one, if the reception does not hint that you need a normal room. According to rumors, I know that in the old building there are wooden windows (and this means noisy, because there is a disco on the territory). 10 bucks will do a miracle and a free room will appear in the new building (it's worth it). The territory of the hotel is small, for someone a plus, for someone a minus, judge for yourself. Swimming pool 1.40 m deep + small children's pool (knee-deep). The pool is cleaned every evening, in the morning there is always fresh water (the cleaning system works fine). Chlorine is also normal, does not stink. No beach towels (!! ! bring your own) and not enough mattresses by the pool. The entrance to the sea is more or less normal, although pebbles. The sea is really 100 meters from the hotel, across the road and along the street surrounded by palm trees (by the way, you can take a photo there against the backdrop of the whole hotel). There is no bar on the beach by the sea, and places must be taken early in the morning. We did not do this, we only came to swim in the sea, the rest of the time we spent by the pool, where there was enough space. We were pleasantly surprised by the food on the first evening - a mix of seafood was served for dinner: shrimps, mussels, squids, octopuses. I didn't expect this. I do not advise you to eat salads, because in almost all hotels (regardless of the stars) salads are always made from what is left from the previous meal. Do not risk your health, because in the hot sun, food quickly deteriorates. There are no tablecloths on the tables, in general, even at dinner. The a la carte restaurant was closed. As for the bar, there is only one for the whole hotel, there are often queues in the evening (especially when there are a lot of Russians, because they drink tirelessly). From 21.00 to 23.00 they give one drink in hand if the manager is nearby (although you can get in line again and again) and the bartenders will pour you as much as you like if the evil uncle the manager is not looking. The service is positive, they try to speak Russian. Some know a little Ukrainian. The animation is small, but the guys are trying their best. At the disco, the same music is played every evening, and the animators who want to take it to Kemer, to a nightclub (it costs 20 USD, or 40 USD - all inclusive). In general, the hotel is not suitable for those who like to “swell”, as well as for families with children (there is a mini club, but there are few children, children will be bored), but it is great for youth holidays, as well as for couples who just want relax together.
