Almost a year has passed, the emotions are gone and perhaps I'll start with the main one. There were three of us - me, my wife and almost adult daughter. In Turkey on vacation 1 time, abroad in hotels (mainly at conferences) is far from the first time.
In Goynuk, according to the status of a hotel, it is 2-3, according to the unofficial status (price / quality) and the fact that the Turks themselves prefer to relax in it - 1. On excursions (especially to the river valley), the ratio will be appropriate (as well as the absence of discounts). The center of Goynuk is 10-15 minutes on foot. Evening exercise, souvenirs, etc. It’s better to go for souvenirs after 21 (before that it’s hot and it’s more difficult to get discounts) and the further up the street from the sea, the better. It is necessary to bargain and preferably with taste. Of course, you need to know the prices "at home" and from other merchants. When a gift bag was needed, we spontaneously acted out the "bargaining wife and stern husband" skit.
At first, the seller and his wife bargained for a 25-30% discount, but the last word of the "husband-boss" dropped the total price in half (slightly below our prices) + a gift from the seller for the pleasure of trading. To his question, who buys, his wife firmly said that if a man started trading, then his assessment is correct and final. If you go on organized shopping for jewelry, you will understand. And of course, a man should not go shopping in shorts : -)
Number. Upon arrival late in the evening, it took about 20 minutes to check in. I didn’t like the room above the restaurant on the 2nd floor with a large balcony (if formally, it was ordered with a “sea view”, but because of the large trees it turned out with a “garden view”, if not formally - he did not suit me because of the barbecue smoke). Without question, we were given a room on the other side on the 4th floor with a side sea view.
In the morning, after contacting the reception and re-applying to the "guest relation" (this is a control service from the hotel owners), the leaking screen in the bathroom was put in order, but they could not fix the torn button on the TV remote control.
The split system worked great. On the second day, in the morning, my wife (at 30 at night outside) froze and "took away" the sheet with the coverlet from me. A request to the reception for a second sheet did not lead to her appearance. Already habitually looked into the "guest relation" and the wife was surprised by the quick appearance of the maid with a pile of sheets, bedspreads, shampoos and other small things in the bathroom.
I left a tip every other day (not surprisingly, from 20-30 Russian rubles, figures from the sheets appeared, like a trifle in the bathroom). Most likely, the maids work in shifts and it is difficult for them to get into all the rooms when people are on the beach at once. Through trial and error, in three days we found out that it is better not to hang labels on the door at all.
The maids themselves try to adapt, but if they see this label (it doesn’t matter green or red), then they don’t even come to the door. Sometimes tourists come across lovers of making fun - green to red is turned upside down or vice versa. In general, in case of problems, you can go past the reception, well, or "guest relation" will help : -)
Magnetic cards. Of course, the sun and the sea are not the best environment for them, and they are replaced in a few seconds, but 3-4 times a day is too much. This is exactly what needs to be done.
The beach is more than OK, sand by the sun loungers + pebbles by the sea. The entrance is gentle, but there are large stones. The sea is relatively clean. There are enough sunbeds and umbrellas, the territory is cleaned. The main thing is to understand how the shadow from the umbrellas will fall and move along with it. When leaving the beach (and on it) there are souls for both the body and the legs.
Nutrition. Food without exaggeration 24 hours a day. Verified by my daughter, who sat down at night with a laptop in the lobby bar.
At about 4 in the morning, she was given something from buns and fruit to her coffee express. Restaurants OK. For 10 days, three games "in a restaurant of your choice" is enough. In terms of the composition of dishes and drinks, everything is close to the main restaurant, except perhaps "Turkish". They met new dishes with unusual cakes and sauces.
The main restaurant for ordinary people has everything. I was very struck by the desire of our people to put everything that catches their eye with a slide on a tray in a dozen plates, try a little bit from them, get tired of greed, and then leave these plates on the tables. Before that, there were simply European or close to them hotels. It seems that we didn’t have many such personalities, but they certainly spoil the mood.
Wine. On the first day, like everyone else, we poured from already opened bottles. But then they realized that the beautiful structures at the beer racks hide cans of wine and a cooling system.
Those in the glass get chilled wine and with minimal contact with air. Maybe it's so "beautiful", like pouring from a bottle at a table, but the taste of wine magically changed immediately : -)
Water. Everywhere and without restrictions. At the exits of restaurants (even near the pools and the beach) there are refrigerators full of bottles of drinking water.
Tea. Always, in any form and in any quantity.
Coffee and juices. Of course powder. But if you go to the lobby bar and ask not the bartender, but the waitresses, you can get a normal espresso, and just pour cold water from the cooler next to it. It will be sooo delicious. And if you like it, don't be greedy for a tip. Soon you will be recognized by your face. : -)
For children, especially small ones, nutrition is a problem. Although there are enough dietary dishes, there will be no porridge in the evening, and even for lunch. But you can pick up something. Perhaps not enough ice cream for an afternoon snack, but somehow we were not bad without it.
Although in the city ice cream is very expensive.
Animators - OK. They are from different countries, with guests 12-14 hours a day. Taking into account night discos, perhaps that's all 24. For those who want to hang out - a trip to night discos in Kemer. For children, two girls with separate programs. A few days later, the children follow them in a flock. For adults, mostly jokes are "off the belt", although sometimes they go astray. During the day, active games in the pools are of course repeated, but in 10 days you don’t have time to get used to it.
In general, if you come to rest, you just need to catch a wave and look for something new. Try a little bit of everything both on the territory of the hotel itself and on excursions.
After a couple of days, we usually slowly occupied a couple of sunbeds by the sea at 7 o'clock, a small light breakfast in the main restaurant (at this moment it is half empty, scrambled eggs / scrambled eggs without queues), then through natural coffee, swimming, sunbathing, by 10:30-11 to the pool with animators (daughter was pulling up at this point), second breakfast (snacks, fruits, etc. ) or gozlime (lavash fried with different fillings in front of you) + cold ayran diluted with water (in the afternoon we preferred it to other drinks) / beer from kegs in the rack/"juices", etc.
), at 12 to the elevators past the "lemonade" (the sun is already hot), changing clothes and for lunch, sleeping until 15-16, a second access to the sea or on excursions (although long excursions can be in the morning), swim until 18, c 19 dinner (in the main restaurant, first on the street for goodies, then a little bit from the buffet), show animators (here you can do it), access to the shops, by 11-12 at night strong drinks from the dutik (with the locals to take risks did not, although after dinner they tried cocktails) and it’s already good.
In general, after a week you understand that you have come to good friends, for whom, of course, not everything works in the house (and for whom everything is perfect? ), but it is comfortable in it like "in your slippers. " Tourists in La Mer'e in the heat from the beach pass through a park with pine trees and then in the central hall past a hefty glass jug of "lemonade" made from natural citrus fruits with herbs and ice. From the faucet and a small stack, so that the throat does not hurt. And next to the cakes, well, how can you resist something : -)
Well, in conclusion. Don't be greedy with a reverse individual transfer. Logistics is of course a necessary thing and saves money for someone, but because of this you will wait for leisurely tourists from other hotels, you will lose at least a couple of hours in the heat in a stuffy bus, you will end up in a "technological stop" at a store with no longer needed You will get expensive souvenirs, you will be at registration in an hour and you will spend the return flight on the last rows of aircraft seats. But this other story, as well as stories about excursions and the hotel, has almost nothing to do with it, although a guide from a tour operator could have warned.
