Спокойный отель Calm hotel

We rested in Turkey from 10/11/11 to 10/21/11. We chose the Imperial Deluxe Hotel. Reviewed a lot of hotels. The choice was between Ozkaymak Inzekum and Queen Elizabet. The choice fell on the Imperial Deluxe due to the small number of negative reviews about the hotel, in contrast to the above and some advantages compared to the same hotels.
Now in order. The travel company caught us Anex Tour. I do not recommend contacting her, but more on that later. The flight took place on a U-Tair Boeing 757-200 aircraft. To be honest, I expected more from this aircraft. Before landing, I was not afraid to fly at all, but after we got into the turbulence zone at least 5 times, I wanted to return by bus)). Arriving in Antalya, we were loaded onto a bus and the guide settled everyone in their hotels. We arrived at almost 6 am local time.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were put on straps and offered to have breakfast, which we did. But since we did not sleep for almost the entire flight, we really wanted to sleep. I knew that check-in takes place at 14:00, but I wanted to check in immediately and went to the reception desk and offered 20 bucks for the urgency of settling, they refused me, citing the fact that there are no rooms at all now and I will have to wait at least until 12:00. By that time, it was not up to choosing a room and we immediately agreed to what they gave us. All rooms have a small area, but enough to stay in 2 rooms. The rooms are cozy in white and green colors, there is everything you need for a comfortable stay in the hotel: a bed, 2 bedside tables, a wall lamp, carpet on the floor, air conditioning, a mirror with a nightstand opposite the bed on which an LCD TV is fixed (2 channels in Russian), a mini-fridge in the nightstand, which is replenished daily (2 waters, cola, fanta, sprite, carry, beer), a wardrobe with a mirror in front of the entrance, a safe inside (very comfortable and the right thing). The balcony is small, but enough for 2 people. You will not get a sea view in this hotel, because. I counted only 6 such rooms, all rooms overlook neighboring hotels, which are about 5-6 meters away. The bathroom has everything you need: a shaving machine, foam, shampoos, lotions and various ladies' lotions, 2 bath towels, 1 for feet, 2 for face, adjustable shower, bidet, 2 pairs of slippers and 2 bathrobes. The only thing missing was toothbrushes and toothpaste. All white, changed for 10 nights 3 times for sure.

The food at the hotel was good and the assortment was large: soups, fish, soy sausages, chicken, baked potatoes, rice, sometimes beef, turkey, lamb, cheeses, feta cheese, soy sausage, vegetables, a lot of greens, eggs, about 5 types of salads, various sauces, jams, fruit with apples, oranges, pears, melons, watermelons, grapes, but few fruits eaten, various types of cakes, tea, a large selection of coffee from the coffee machine. I don’t remember everything, you definitely won’t stay hungry. I remember when choosing this hotel, I came across photos of tourists who took photos of half-empty buffets. They probably went to dinner at the very end of the dinner. )) Everything was always enough for everyone. After dinner, you could eat delicious ice cream at the pool bar. The wines at the hotel leave a lot to be desired. For comparison, I recommend drinking wine from the cellars on excursions. In the first days of arrival, I drank beer of local production in buckets and not in one eye. They also made beautiful cocktails. If you go on excursions, order lunch packages in advance, 3 days in advance))), because. we ordered for the first time in the evening in the morning, they were not cooked for us due to the lack of a cook, but for 2 times they still made lunch packages, which included an orange, an apple and a sandwich with sausage and cheese. For long excursions, I especially recommend doing them, because. on excursions they are fed with cold food and without drinks, especially Pamakkule. Stock up on drinks beforehand or have to drink tea with a tiny cup for $2.
The staff is polite, friendly, but, unfortunately, they hardly speak Russian, but they understand Russian a little. In the mini-bar put in your presence what you want. 1 buck won't hurt. During this period, there were no animators at all and it was boring in the evening, although music and laughter could be heard from neighboring hotels. At the disco in the basement after 23:00, Turkish music was hammering, but no one had ever sat on it, much less danced.
Room cleaning was good and daily. Not very well vacuumed, but in general there are no complaints. The cleaner did not understand Russian at all. Every day they left her 1 dollar, and once they forgot to leave it, so she laid out a heart in petals from a towel on the bed and laid the petals beautifully on the bed. In general, it was pleasant.
The beach is small, but there were always enough places. Bad rocky entrance to the sea, but this did not really interfere with swimming. On the beach there is a dressing room, a shower, deck chairs with matrices, umbrellas. The pier was closed due to a storm the day before. all the boards were torn off. There is no entertainment on the beach, only a nearby hotel had a jet ski for $40/20min and a parachute.

Now about reptiles-guides. Hotel guides will offer you excursions at a price that is 2 times higher than that of local companies. The bias will be that they are responsible for you and you will receive insurance. There is a plus in this, but more about it later, you may not need it as the trip from the guide came in handy for us. For example, a tour of Pamukkale costs 60 bucks from the guide, 35 bucks across the road, a sauna 25-35, but I would recommend choosing the sauna yourself after talking with the people, because. to the sauna where everyone is taken, you will be driven like a herd through the procedures and at the same time additional procedures and massages will be sold everywhere. In general, the Turks bothered me with their vparivanie absolutely everything, although quite nice people came across. Excursions I will not describe everything, because. Everyone has their own opinion and I do not want to overshadow someone else's impressions. I personally liked the Troy water park and the Kamikaze water slides the most.
A little about markets and trade. I do not recommend buying immediately what you like. Walk around, look in other stores, haggle everywhere. There is no price tag on goods almost everywhere, and if it is present, then the price can be reduced by 2-3 times. Do not be shy )). Now about the most unpleasant thing that happened to us. On the day off, we at 3 (me, my girlfriend and friend) went for a walk in souvenir shops along the coast and went into almost every shop, naturally buying trinkets and gifts for ourselves. We bought a bottle of wine for 10 bucks, they gave us 90 green change, of which there was a $50 bill. Further, in the next shop, we did not accept this bill and we paid $ 100. We came back and the seller changed the fake 50 without question. A few days later we again decided to take a walk through the same shops and on the way back some guy caught up with us and said that we slipped him a fake 100 bill. It became funny to us and we ignored him and continued our way to the hotel. He began to threaten to call the police and began to call. On the way to the hotel, we were cut off by a police car and politely asked in Turkish to sit in their car, which we did. Upon arrival at the station, we were searched, then we were interrogated for a long and tedious time after the Anex Tour guide Ramil arrived. This is where a trip through a guide on an excursion came in handy. He made a request to the company and confirmed that we were on Demre-Mira-Kekova all day and on the day of slipping a 100 dollar bill to this guy, we could not be at the market. Many thanks to Ramil from us for helping us get us out of the police station, transferring us and for trusting us. If it weren’t for him, he would now be hunchbacked on orange plantations until the end of his life for counterfeiting))). After drawing up the protocols in our hotel, they searched the room and the safe. They hoped to find a counterfeit $100 bill. But we all changed money in the bank. I recommend everyone to change money at the bank and take a receipt with the numbers of the exchanged banknotes. In the morning, they brought the protocol for the search of the room, which we signed and said that everything was ok and we could safely fly home.
The next day we were supposed to have a flight at 18:00, i. e. in the evening, but we were waiting for a "pleasant" surprise at the reception, which informed us that the departure was postponed 12 hours earlier. For this "joy" a huge "thank you" to Anex Tour, which did not give a damn about 400 people flying from Turkey. When calling the guide, he said that we should have been warned about the possibility of a delay in the charter flight, but I agreed to the delay. But to check out from the hotel at 2 am and fly away at 6 am was very "joyful". I also forgot to say that from 10/17/11. we have reduced food at the hotel by a third, tk. the number of tourists has decreased. In general, there is absolutely nothing to catch in the hotel at the end of October and beyond, and I recommend only grandparents to relax.
Conclusion: I did not regret my trip to Turkey, but the last moments and 2 days spoiled the whole impression of the country. I will not fly to Turkey again, it will be boring. Who is the first time - I wish you a good rest. And read the reviews when choosing, so as not to be disappointed, people do not lie.
