We rested from July 15 to July 29.2011 in Turkey for the 11th time, so you can believe that the review is absolutely impartial and realistic. Regardless of what exactly you are going to rest for, in this hotel you will find everything: rest and peace - please; positive and good mood - for health; cons and negative - at your service. The hotel was repurchased in May 2011, the owner decided to honestly recoup at least part of the money spent, so he did not do any repairs before the season, they are planned for the winter of 2011-2012: the rooms are old, the furniture is appropriate, plumbing too. We lived in a bungalow: it was damp at check-in, despite 35 degrees C +, it didn’t smell very pleasant, by the next morning we either sniffed it or settled down, and everything was fine : ) Now, in order:
1. Settlement. We arrived at 8-30 in the morning, 4 times refusing to have a combined check-in with strangers in one room for a day (and then we will give you the most wonderful room and a free session in the jacuzzi) at 14-00, as expected by the check-in standard, we received your own, back in Moscow, paid for the second floor of a bungalow with a balcony, without money, noise and dust...
2. Restaurant. Among the residents of the hotel, Russian-speaking, is called "canteen". Far from the point. However, I will make a reservation right away on the other points too: when choosing a hotel, a tourist, remember! You are going to a hotel of a certain price category, not the star rating you have chosen. So it's useless to say that "this is not 5, but 2 s +, uzhOs, kashmar" !! ! Your eyes saw what you bought, now eat, at least get out : ))))) So, you need to go to breakfast early, better by 8, and for dinner later, better by 20-30. just take my word for it and appreciate the advice. I highly recommend washing fruits with bottled water, to be sure of this, you just need to watch once how a number of tourists (especially Ukrainians and "kazakistan"), dipping both hands into a bowl of grapes, peaches, etc. they are actively scurrying there in search of the cherished fruit. You can pour over in a restaurant or in a snack bar (quite decent salads, hot spaghetti with sauces, tortillas, shawarma chicken, fruits). Sweets only in the restaurant. I was very pleased that there is cold ayran everywhere, even for dinner : ))

3. Beach and sea. You don’t need to go to Kemer to yell later: “Fu, there are pebbles, all the legs were broken, stones, be-be, fi-fi... here they will take you ShchAZ and in the whole area they will drag natural plates out of the sea and cover everything with sand! Love the sand, take care of a gentle pedicure - to Alanya, Belek! The bottom is magnificent: there are many large stones under which octopuses live, in the morning until 7-8 in the morning they crawl out to feast on rapans, then it is difficult to notice them only if you dive deeper. Lots of fish, a huge number shells : ) There is an entry from the shore for children, for adults - from the pier. By the way, there is not deep, about 1.5 meters, then, after 5-7 meters from the pier, the depth is already 3.5-4 meters to the very buoys.
Animation. Here I will be subjective, you can disagree with me and throw stones at me: stupidly, VERY loudly, in 2 weeks we learned by heart the entire repertoire, even in other languages, the animation greeting music, consisting of 4 compositions and spinning at all 4 times a day: at 10-00 and 12-30, then a quiet hour, and then at 14-30 and 17-00. At this time I wanted to hang myself. The comrade chief animator, who speaks ALL languages ​ ​ very disgustingly, was nicknamed yagupop for his habit of inserting the phrase "come on! " For example, at 10-00, the animators, walking along the beach, yelling "GOOD MORNING!!! " If someone answers them “good morning” out of politeness, he will certainly hear the catchphrase from the main parsley; or during the competition, each participant is asked for his name and every other time evaluates Masha, Petya, Dasha, Sasha "from Russia" with this phrase. Only a Russian girl working in a mini-club worked for 5+, and two Russian girls, one of whom did gymnastics, aqua aerobics and step rhythmics (she still needs a monument for patience and money from an otolaryngologist, I'm afraid by the end of the season she will completely will become deaf, because her classes are held strictly under columns the size of a 12-year-old child each), and the second is a belly dance.
- smarties!
SPA-center. The most amazing place! Many thanks to the guys working there, Larisa, Sergey, Olechka, Paris! The cleanliness is extraordinary, a wonderful sauna (there are 60 and 90 degrees), a relaxation room with quiet pleasant relaxing music and a light menthol aroma. Sergey is a massage therapist from God. Skillful fingers! Paris is a person who can do everything: help in any way you need, always, make you laugh, just chat, make a game of table tennis, give advice on where to go, where to buy and so on and so forth : ))

A la carte restaurants. You can get there if you WELL VERY, WELL FUCK, WELL SHOT as you need! To do this, you need to come to the "guest relay" counter (there is a device for booking restaurants, reminiscent of a device for paying for telephones and other services) at 8-30 in the morning (if you want to be the first) or by 9-30 if you want to be 16 or 20's. Recording will start at 10-00 and end in 20 minutes, because! Registration only for the day after tomorrow (today and tomorrow are already busy): each restaurant is closed once every three days (in turn) and all of them are always weekends on Wednesdays, when the hotel has a Turkish night. The largest one is the fish one, there are about 15 tables. Turkish - 7-8 tables and Italian - 5-6 tables. So in reality, only 2 out of 3 restaurants open every day, and a maximum of 10-15 people can sign up (because they sign up 1-2 tables at once each). Yes! Foreigners do not stand in line! They are recorded by "guest relay" administrators bypassing the electronic device.
Summing up, I want to say that we were satisfied with the rest: we didn’t go hungry, we slept well, because. the bungalow is very quiet, bathed a lot, because. we love the sea, listened to the cicadas, of which there are a huge number in the hotel, and tried to ignore the shortcomings, which is what we wish you all!
