Like many others, this is not my first time in Turkey. I try to drive only
a hotel tested over the years and only through one tour operator, but this time
Pegasus decided to "buck up". And now in more detail... Every autumn from about 27
October to November 6, I strive to Turkey to warm up and relax. By booking
your favorite hotel and having received booking confirmation from Pegas Tourist, began to wait
trips. But suddenly, two weeks later, a call - your hotel is closed for repairs
or take the money or take a replacement hotel La Mer Art from the type of cooler ultra all
inclusive, etc. During this time, the dollar managed to jump up and take
money "back" was already unprofitable, I had to take the word of Pegasus and go to
La Mer (By the way, it turned out already on the spot that the hotel that I booked
initially not closed and Pegasus deceived me). We arrived at the hotel at 9:30 and waited.
settlements. In order not to waste time, we went to the beach, where we experienced the first shock -

the pier is dismantled into the sea, do not enter (the pier stretches almost along the entire beach of the hotel
parallel to the coast). . . Breakfast was not impressive, but in principle scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and
good croissants (after November 1, this lafa ended, but more on that later).
We returned to the reception at 12 o'clock where we were asked to wait another 10 minutes - and
our best number. 15 minutes later Jack the Ripper (if you watched
performance number 13 you will understand me) led us to the room. The first impression was
nice room on the fourth floor with a balcony and a view of the "sea" but when
The Ripper left I heard a rather loud monotonous hum. I went out to the balcony
I realized that the main view is not of the sea, but of the dining room (in other words, this food point
you can’t name) and the kitchen hood is buzzing while emitting a not very pleasant smell
canteen... Going down to the reception asked for another room where the same
The Ripper took us twenty minutes later to another one on the same floor, but with
mountain views and bungalows. The room looked good on closer inspection.
Well, as they already wrote an old carpet and lockers, but this is not important.
Quite comfortable beds, good pillows, bathroom, safe, refrigerator. A little
the impression was spoiled by a regularly flying cloud of tobacco smoke from the lobby
bar located directly below us on the ground floor. Lunch is good, there is a grill,
cakes, soup, fruit. After lunch we wanted to play tennis (4 courts are announced)
but again no luck - the children's tennis school and all the courts stopped at the hotel
busy from morning to evening. Dinner is also good so far, but for some reason there are a lot of people
(later I understood everything). We wanted to sign up for an A la card restaurant, but we decided that
let's leave that for later - ha! Then the most interesting begins. wanted
finally sign up for A la carte but we were told that we were in flight. Snack closed
bar. Then the pool bar closed. Then for lunch we got pure fast food -

french fries, pieces of sausages floating in tomato, pancakes from ground
incomprehensibly, meat and fish were absent. To my question to the client-manager of the hotel with

concept and Pegasus knows about it. Having found our hotel guide Olga, we brought
her to a restaurant and asked a simple question - What should we eat? She went somewhere

Then it turned out that this hotel is also a transshipment base for
tourist groups. Every evening, five or six people began to enter the territory.

queues. In the morning, the already meager breakfast was still scanty. The restaurant started operating
principle - Who did not have time - he was late. I had to go to a restaurant in the evening
before the newly arrived group in order to still have a normal meal. Of the minuses, I can
add the following - after November 3 from that piece of the beach where there were still people
sun loungers and umbrellas began to disappear (like summer is over and you don’t care here on the beach
to do), there were no declared water sports, towels were changed only
after a visit to the reception (two days lay on the floor). Of course, much more is possible
write "pleasant" about this place but I think that's enough. The only thing
was positive on this trip - this is that we finally traveled around the surrounding
attractions - canyon Goynuk, Phaselis, went for a walk in Kemer.
Summing up, I can say that, of course, rest is better than work, but if
if you want to relax like people in the fall, you should not go here.
