Once again, I was convinced that when choosing a hotel, you should not trust anyone but yourself. Our agent, from whom we took vouchers twice a year, once again simply forced (we had a prepaid tour for the fall and she simply blackmailed us by not giving back tickets to it) to pay for this hotel, assuring that “you definitely be satisfied! ".

We were not satisfied, but first things first:
Before the trip, I read reviews that this hotel loves to immediately settle either in a room under the pool (in which non-local staff usually live), or in the top three opposite. Of course, the agent swore that these reviews were nothing more than the machinations of enemies and she and only she needed to believe, but the reality turned out to be exactly the same as it was described by tourists on websites on the Internet.

There were three couples of us (two young couples and a grandmother and granddaughter), so at first (before saying that “there are no rooms available”) we were all given to sign cards for moving in, i. e.
e. WARNING! We signed a document that we were settled, and then (when the cards disappeared at the reception desk) we were “delighted” that there were no rooms and we had two options: either a room under the pool or a triple opposite. One couple who stayed with us left to make a fuss - I’ll say right away that they didn’t achieve anything, they were settled in a room under the pool, and we and another couple (grandmother and granddaughter) went to settle in the top three opposite.
I must say right away that the good thing about this trio is only a fairly thorough cleaning. The room itself, furniture in it, linen and towels are terribly old and worn. Pillowcases and sheets are torn, mattresses are terribly sagging. And my husband disdained to even go into the bathroom at the room. They settled us at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and moved to Zen only the next day at about the same time, although they promised to move at 10 in the morning ...
Already living in Zen’e, I often came across the same comrades in misfortune, whose suitcases were dragged into the top three across the road. I was under the impression that it was par for the course for this hotel to book guests with an overlay per night. . Agree, because there is a difference between the cost of a day in the top five and three? I don’t know who this extra profit is going to, but I sincerely wish these people to spend it on medicines for themselves!
Nutrition
Breakfasts are like everywhere else: I won’t praise or scold them (they are no different from breakfasts in other fours and unpretentious fives). Cereals, cheeses, yogurt, jams, olives, some fruit, eggs (fried or boiled) and some kind of sausage or frankfurters. I was surprised and upset that for a late breakfast (shortly before 10 am) 70% of the dishes (jam, cereal, some fruits, cheese) are simply taken away from the tables. There are only some sausages, eggs and tea. (as well as bakery products).

Since on vacation, firstly, I like to sleep longer, and secondly, I don’t eat soy sausage and eggs, I didn’t manage to have breakfast - there was nothing ...Lunch. For lunch, you will most likely be served something that the guests at dinner did not finish yesterday. It seems to be varied, but mostly inedible. But always at dinner they serve pasta, french fries and rice (that is, feed the children). Dinner. Only for him I can find good words. Dinners are themed, very varied and delicious. Lots of fruits (delicious and ripe: melon, watermelon, cherries, plums, oranges). The cook bakes cakes (very tasty) in front of you, and meat (or fish) is also fried outside, depending on the theme of the evening. Sweets are very tasty. In general, I have only the best impressions from the work of the chefs: the chef and the sushi chef often go out into the hall, without bothering to communicate, if you suddenly want to, and are always ready to help.
What else to say about food?
Before that, I was in the four in Alanya, my husband and I brought seven kg for two : ) After Xena -3 kg for two ...Draw your own conclusions ...
Dream…
Forget about sleeping in this hotel. It will be noisy in ANY room: either from air conditioners, or from a disco from a neighboring hotel, or (in our case) from music and vacationers by the pool. Let me explain, at 9-10 in the morning they turn on the music by the pool, moreover, quite loudly - you won’t be able to sleep even with the windows closed. Music by the pool (getting louder, then quieter) does not stop until ten in the evening. Yesterday, the sounds of music are added to it from neighboring hotels, as well as from their amphitheater, in which there is an entertainment program. Music in all hotels as if on cue turns off at 11 pm and now, you naively relaxed and decided to sleep after all ...Figushki! Now until three in the morning you will feel a low-frequency vibration and a subtle rumble from the disco, which is located in the basement of the hotel! Goodnight!
Beach…
Little.
The beds are almost right next to each other. You will surely find a place, but it’s not a fact that you won’t sniff your neighbor’s heels at the same time. The shower on the beach is only COLD (I would say even icy). Water tanks are underground (why is it interesting? ) and therefore the water drawn into them from the water supply system does not warm up at all. It’s easier to catch a cold, so almost no one uses a shower on the beach.

maybe I’ll add it later, otherwise I scribbled a whole poem : )
