Antalya met us with heat and crazy humidity, which immediately covered you with sticky sweat. The transfer quickly took us to Beldibi to our hotel. The hotel administrators, who did not speak Russian at all, took us to the room for a very long time. From the beginning, they asked to wait about an hour, then another 40 minutes after which, after another half an hour, we finally moved into the room. On my request (by the way, in Turkish) to settle us on the second floor, they responded with great courtesy and settled on the fourth. But this is not scary, since there was no hint of a gym in this hotel, then a little fitness will not hurt anyone.

While we waited (here you have to give credit to the administrators) we were offered to have lunch. For which special thanks to them.

As for food, that's a whole story. I don't want to talk bad about it, you can say, is this a three star hotel what do you want?

And the situation with food is as follows: we went down from the room an hour before the end of breakfast and saw empty plates and trays on the tables. When we asked for more food, the administration replied that it was over. Having collected the remains of scrambled eggs in the corners of the pan, and only sitting down to have breakfast, we saw that more people had come down for breakfast, who had absolutely nothing to eat. The hotel administrator jumped up to us and said that we took too much food and that it should be divided among those who came. (I think he was worried about our health and did not want us to gain even a kilogram). In the end, calling us problematic, he asked who our tour operator ran to call our guide. (in general, he was ahead of us, because we ourselves already wanted to call him) Our guide arrived (very quickly) and began to communicate with the hotel staff. The hotel employees point to the tray and ask, isn't that food, isn't it?
And on the tray soy cheese (it differs from soy sausage only in color) is all covered with ants, so much so that the cheese itself was not visible. The guide Ilyas (who speaks very good Russian) asked the hotel workers if they would eat this themselves, to which they immediately began to fight the ants. Moreover, they won a lightning victory and the ants went into the rooms. In the rooms, angry and hungry ants began to greedily eat the clothes of the guests, having made a bunch of holes there. If you think I'm exaggerating, then I'm not! The ants really ruined the clothes of the people we met and spent time together.

But what is surprising on this day (and only on this day) the food was excellent (we were even given chicken for dinner). Our guide must have helped them cook. And then all the time if the meat is soy or none at all.
If they have any food left, they process it and prepare another dish (this is actually normal if it is not spoiled) And now the potatoes that were for breakfast appeared in the salad for dinner, though it was already sour. Having invited the cook and telling him that the dish was sour, we were surprised at the reaction. He shrugged his shoulders and said so what, it's ruined...No comment.

After talking with our guide, I asked him: Ilyas, am I nitpicking? If you say that I find fault, then I will shut up, and I won’t say another bad word. And Ilyas replied that I was not nitpicking and that this hotel was really full of ...turd and that there were many other jambs that he naturally would not talk about and that there were already few people coming here.

So you need to take your own food to this hotel in case you want meat or dessert. Even Turkish watermelons were not always enough.

The bar is a different story.

There was a bartender who also spoke absolutely no Russian. And what he did with the drinks is known to him alone. I myself am not a drinker and when I drink I prefer good alcohol not necessarily expensive. So, the free beer that he poured into 150-gram glasses in half was not drunk by any of the hotel employees and he himself. He ran to the nearest store and bought it there, and drank it. Having ordered whiskey with cola, I did not understand where the whiskey is? And, after asking for pure whiskey, he was very surprised that he did not find a single gram of whiskey in pure whiskey, there was nothing there except cola.
The hotel neighbors one evening approached the bartender for a beer and he refused, referring to the time. The clock was 4 minutes past 11 (this hotel has an all-inclusive bar open until 22:00). I asked him how much the beer costs? He answered - 3 dollars. I asked again, do they take it?
He replied - they have never taken it yet (still, who would take half a 150 gram glass for $ 3 if a half-liter bottle of cold beer costs $ 2 in a store across the street). Here is such a businessman our bartender.

Returning from the disco at night, we did not find a single burning lantern, asking the administrator to leave at least a standby light (otherwise you can break off your legs) the next day we received it. The duty lamp gleamed lonely and dimly, and we no longer groped our way into the room (on the floors in the corridors, the light was on only once). And the next night it went out again (probably tired).

As for the cleaning of the room, it was promised every day, but it was cleaned only twice. (but it's not scary, we are generally clean people and did not have time to stain the room during this time). Bed linen was not changed at all.

We rented a safe for $10 a week to store documents and valuables.
And once they discovered that they were digging into it (although nothing was lost, but that it was opened without our knowledge is 100%).

Another fun story with the zoo on site. By evening, all the surrounding cats are pulled up there, and if you gape, then something is sure to be taken from the plate. And since in this hotel and people sometimes didn’t have enough food ...Well, in general, you understand.

These are just the main things I wanted to describe about this hotel. There are still a lot of little things that I don’t want to waste either your time or mine.

In short, the advice is this - in no case, for any money, do not go to this hotel!


As for Beldibe itself, this is a good place and you will enjoy a great vacation by choosing another hotel (in our hotel, by the way, in the only one in all of Turkey, lunch packages were not provided for those who went on excursions and did not have time to have breakfast).

Our holiday was amazingly brightened up by the guys from their travel agency HAY TOUR.
These nice and helpful people are distinguished by special service. They are the only travel agents who offered water to drink on a hot day. They tell in the most detailed way about all the excursions, and they can recommend not to go on one or another of them if they feel that you might not like it. Their names are Ibrahim, Rasul and Nurik. And if you come to them with greetings from Sergey, then you will have discounts and special treatment, because I happened to make friends with them. This agency is located, as I already said, in Beldibe opposite the SENTIDO hotel, not far from the jest disco. Go to them, you won't regret it!
Ibrahim, Rasul, Nurik hello to you if you are reading this! Hello and thanks for a great time!

And the Turks love it when one of the visitors speaks Turkish. I was lucky to know him and after a couple of days everyone in Beldibe knew us.
Thanks to this, we were able to bargain in the market and knock down prices three times.

So learn at least a few phrases in Turkish.

This is such a journey. Beldibe is a very good place and if you decide to go here then take another hotel.
