Stayed there with my girlfriend. When choosing a hotel, one of the main points was the presence of water slides by the pool. In the office of the tour operator on the site teztour. com, we found slides in the photo, we really liked them, but upon arrival at the hotel it turned out that they were the slides of a neighboring hotel. This was the first disappointment upon arrival.
We were brought to the hotel at 11:30 in the morning, at the reception they said that they would only check in at 14:00. But then, after a couple of minutes, the manager came up to us and said that there is a good room with windows overlooking the mountains, and that you can check in right away, but you need to pay a little extra, something about $ 5. We agreed, settled in, and when we came to the reception, he said that $ 10 would be enough. So to check into an already booked room, we paid $ 10 extra. As it turned out, this number is no different from the rest, and this was the second disappointment. On this, in principle, the negative is almost over.
FOOD: the food was delicious and varied. Yes, it happened that sausage half-eaten for breakfast was added to a salad for lunch, etc. but still, no one left the dining room hungry. Of the fruits were oranges, apricots, plums, apples, watermelon. From the drinks there was beer (very even nothing), red and white wine (did not like it), gin and tonic, vodka, cola, sprite, fanta and juices, which were very reminiscent of Yuppie diluted in water. Meat (mostly chicken) was every day, just in a different form.

SERVICE: the rooms were cleaned every day, quite carefully, the linen was changed in the same way. A couple of times they even decorated the bed beautifully by folding towels in the shape of hearts and sprinkling it with rose petals. It certainly pleased. Another of the minuses was that there was almost always no hot water, and somehow I didn’t want to take a shower in the ice.
BEACH: it took about 10 minutes to walk to the beach with a calm step, which did not upset us at all. Along the way, we met private travel agencies that, for a moderate fee, offered to send me on an excursion. (We took advantage of this by going to the Turkish bath, and then going to Aqualand in Antalya). The beach is mostly pebbles and stones, so it was a little unpleasant to go into the water, but in principle it didn’t bother. Sun loungers and umbrellas were free of charge, and there was not a single time that we did not have enough of them.
ENTERTAINMENT: every day animators from Belarus, where I come from)) organized volleyball, water polo, water aerobics and dancing. Every evening we went shopping, there are a lot of them along the road. And all the sellers are very friendly.
On this, in principle, everything, summing up, we can say that the rest was a success and it was not overshadowed even by some shortcomings.
