"Joy Ma Bish", a ticket was taken through the French travel agency "Club Marmara" - complete otstoy (better not contact this agency)
5 star hotel, ALL INCLUSIVE. . . but!
This ALL INCLUSIVE turned out to be:
- indigestion (from local cuisine)
- poisoning from alcoholic beverages (poured local surrogate)
- terrible (really boorish) staff service
- shabby hotel with shabby sofas and torn sheets
- dirty rooms (promised to clean every day, in reality they don't even pretend that something was cleaned, they just change the towel and that's it)
-....and much more. . . …

Given the above, it turns out that having decided to have a drink on vacation, in a hotel, the system of which is “all inclusive”, dress up to buy alcoholic drinks and cocktails for a fee... here it is worth adding an important detail - if you want to BUY yourself a cocktail - you need and cook it yourself, and it’s not funny, to the point of horror, non-professional waiters (who are obviously recruited from the street) do not know the composition of the famous cocktails and the processes for their preparation), so you yourself must tell and manage the process of their “cooking”. You will have to eat - the rubbish that they offer, but it’s better just bread and cakes than you actually had to eat, there was no other way out...
Cool! This is a 5 star hotel. . ! And most importantly, it’s useless to complain, it’s just that no one will listen to you, or they just nod their heads, well, they won’t do anything...
Such lax waiters, such lack of culture, arrogance (offering sex and even barging into the rooms of single girls) and rudeness of the attendants, how much I have not traveled, I have not seen yet...
.....And in the end, I would like to mention, in general, about the "culture" of Turkey, since their desire to be in Europe now depresses me even more... They "imagined" themselves as Europeans, but on faith, completely - wild people, with wild morals and proprietary orders... I want to tell a short story that shocked my husband and me
Somehow, on one of the next “beautiful” days, we were sitting at a table for breakfast and observed the following picture:
A young French couple was sitting next to our table (the hotel consisted of 80% French), SAT opposite them, which, in theory, is completely impossible in a normal five-star hotel, the hotel staff consisted of four people, one of whom was the secretary of the director, they sat by the way say in one of the most picturesque places, thus occupying a large table, which rightfully belongs to vacationers (! ), but this is only the beginning. . .
The couple who seem to have already swallowed - the culture of service in this hotel and who seem to be "overstrained" by this state of affairs, decided to capture this lawlessness in the photo, they took out a digital camera and began to photograph the hotel staff sitting and chewing...

To which a violent reaction followed... the above-mentioned secretary of the director, who, in theory, should be a cultured person, since in the absence of the director he represents the hotel itself, jumping up from its place with angry cries (you can see it with obscenities, since her face was more than just angry , she was furious) rushed towards that couple, shouting and waving her arms, almost fighting, she began to try to snatch the camera from the girl’s hands, but failing to do it (her husband intervened), she returned to her place in the same fury and did not stop scolding in her native (Turkish) language, she called the security guard on the phone and forced him to take the camera... he, not daring to do it by force and not having achieved this with words, returned to the table, to which an even more violent reaction followed, now directed at the guard himself...
Taking advantage of the pause, that couple retreated (went to the sea, we followed them)...
After some time, the same guard approached them, sunbathing on the beach, but now, accompanied by a policeman and an interpreter, they began to demand to give them the camera; they have the right to search them and take away what belongs to them, the answer followed, they say, “what other rights, what other search warrants, they say, we’ll just take it and take it away”... Having received a refusal, they left, threateningly warning that they would now be taken to the gendarmerie , and they thereby signed a “terrible sentence” for themselves, that something terrible awaits them and now they will have no mercy, they say that she is a screaming woman, none other, but the wife of the head of the gendarmerie in Antalya, and now he will personally arrive here. . .
We found it necessary to intervene in this arbitrariness, somehow, out of fear for them, it turned out to be a good idea to advise them to contact a representative of the travel agency to intervene in this incident, to demand that they call the French ambassador here, who will defend the rights of the French, otherwise the end result may be very, very deplorable for them. Since everything that happened was not at all in a playful form, but everything was terribly serious and formidable.
A frightened couple (of course, I myself had a wild fear and shock from what was happening), heeded our advice, they turned to representatives of the Marmara travel agency, whose composition is also Turks (although the travel agency itself is French, but disgusting, not they work professionally, since the staff is so horribly selected).
At first, their reaction was lethargic and detached (if only they were all their own), it’s worth adding that all this time they were closely watched by a couple of local policemen escorting them at a distance... and who endlessly contacted someone by radio.

BUT! HEARING THE REQUIREMENTS TO CALL THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FRENCH EMBASSY, as a defense, they stirred up and reined in, promising to solve the problem amicably.
P. S. and if this pair were, for example, Russian, then the trumpet...
